[b]Oswald Connoly- Survival[/b]

As the professor explained the anomaly that transported the class to their current location, Oswald couldn't help but agree-leave the details to the scientists. As long as they didn't get their organs rearranged-and he imagined going in length intervals was a precaution against that-he didn't care much about the specifics. He felt a bit of pride at Vorosky's speech about survivalism skills being truly lifesaving. He was a bit biased, but Oswald had to agree: survival skills were vital to a Huntsman in the wilderness. Of course, being proficient with your weapon and physically fit were important, but there were other classes that had elements of each involved in them. Survival class was the only place to learn how to survive. 

The task they were given was a rather simple one, fitting for their first day of class. The early lessons would probably bore Oswald, and be of little service, but being in his physical condition, and with his broken wrist, he figured PE and Practice classes wouldn't fit very well at the moment. Besides, now he had the chances to learn under a professional Huntsman. 

One of the students suggested staying in groups to cover each other's backs. Oswald liked him already. It was Ineko, the boy with the armored exo-suit. A marvel of technology that put the [i]Unsubtle[/i] to shame. Where it lacked the raw power of Marcus's tank, it compensated in versatility and, presumably, ease of operation. A tank typically required a crew of a few people, whereas a suit wasn't nearly as bulky and usually only enhanced the wearer's abilities. 

"I've got experience with building campfires. For our wood gathering, we're gonna need dry wood. As dry as possible. Get stuff of various sizes, some small bits, some larger logs, and some tinder: bark, leaves, dead grass. Only collect fallen materials: live branches won't burn right, they've got too much moisture. And good thinking on sticking together: erring on the side of caution is often the safest path, even if it might reduce efficiency somewhat. Better to take an extra thirty minutes than to lose a man to an errant Grimm. Or woman." Oswald added the last bit as an afterthought, his rather automatic speech ended promptly.
