Initiation
"Hello there! No that doesn't work. Welcome potential students, no lacks some enthusiasm." Professor Port muttered as he paced back and forth. "How about 'welcome'?" Oobleck chimed from the rock he was perched on. "No it is too mundane too ordinary... salutations perhaps?" "Huh" Oobleck sat back and watched Port's intense debate with impartial fascination. "Greetings? G'day? Huntsmen, huntresses lend me your ears!" Ooblech raised an eyebrow at the last idea "Really?" "I must think of something inspiring to help light the spark in their souls, to unleash their inner warrior!" Peter struck a pose as he monologued aloud completely ignoring Ooblech's comment.

Oobleck took a sip of his mug and stayed uncharacteristically still. Today was important, many students would be going through initiation and some were to be 'prepared' by the two of them. Some would go to Ozpin and Glynda with others going to various staff members located at different points along the cliff, all out of sight of each other

He noticed the students filing in "They're here." he warned Professor Port quickly giving his colleague enough time to turn around and give his grand greeting. "Welcome future huntsmen and huntresses!" Port boasted as the group stood in front of the rotund teacher. "Today you will be going through initiation." Ooblech started "You will all go into the forest, when you land you shall make your way to a ruin. There you will find a relic, take it and bring it back." "This is also a test to determine your partners so choose carefully, with that in mind may fate be with you as your partner shall be the first person you make eye cantact with when you reach the forest." Port continued "But be warned many of the creatures in the forest will not resist the temptation to kill you, show them no mercy in kind." "We will not be watching or aiding you in this test so every battle is life and death." Oobleck finished giving the students all the information they needed. "Any questions?" Oobleck asked merely as a formality. A hand shot up out of the group, "What is it my child?" Port responded. "Yeah, what do you mean by land?" the student asked. "Well..." the signal was given "...this." Port quipped as he launched all of the platforms simultaneously.

Sipping the mug Oobleck pondered "And the lesson is...?" "Constant vigilance." Port grinned as he watched the students shocked faces as they flew through the air. "Ah."
