Fantastic. I made Nora into a criminal. That should be a crime on its own.
For those who don't know, this is sort of a silly little thing I did after adding into chapter six of For the Love of Jaune on Nora stealing coffee from Oobleck. So this happened.
I'm not Monty Oum. Or Miles Luna. Or Kerry Shawcross.
He was gonna die. He was gonna die, and it was all Nora's fault.
Nora had it in her head to go to Professor Oobleck's office while he was away, sneak in, and steal the man's coffee supply. And she had recruited Jaune to help her do it. Which was why the JNPR leader was currently standing as point by the professor's door while his orange haired teammate picked at the lock.
"Nora, this doesn't seem like a good idea," Jaune mentioned to his teammate. "What if we get caught?"
"Don't be silly! There's no way we'll get caught," Nora chuckled, confident in her skills.
"Why are we doing this to begin with?" Jaune asked.
"Because Professor Oobleck's coffee is some of the best!" Nora explained. "And I really want some."
"Okay, but why did you drag me along for this?" Jaune asked.
"Because Ren was being unfun today and wouldn't help," Nora complained, her lips turned downward in a frown as she remembered her best friend's refusal to assist her in her act of crime. She stopped her work to send a beaming grin at her leader. "So that's why I'm relying on you to give me a hand because you're so helpful!"
"Yeah, but Nora, I don't really think this is a good idea," Jaune attempted to talk to her with reason as she continued her work. "I mean we're breaking into a professor's office. On how bad this is on a scale of 1 to 10, it's huge mistake!"
"Oh relax," Nora chuckled. "We'll be fine. I just want to grab a few. He'll never know they were missing!"
"Nora-"
"Aha! I got it!" Nora cheered in delight, pushing the door open with her gloved-protected palm. "Stay here and keep watch."
"Nora!" Jaune said in a hushed tone, looking worried as he watched the hammer-wielding girl slip into the room without a problem.
The leader of JNPR fidgeted in front of Oobleck's door, keeping an eye out for students and faculty alike. Thankfully, the hallway they were in was currently unoccupied, so Jaune's nerves weren't too jumpy. However, professors at Beacon had the strangest abilities to just appear out of nowhere and scare the living daylights out of unsuspecting students.
"Okay I got 'em!" Nora announced rather loudly, scaring the living daylights out of Jaune who gave a tiny shriek. "We can head back and brew these bad boys up!"
"Nora, his door!" Jaune stated.
"Oh right," she said, hooking her foot to the door and pulling it shut with enough force to close it. "Okay, let's go."
"Nora, the door," Jaune mentioned, pointing to the door.
"What? It's closed, isn't it?" she asked.
"I meant the lock!" Jaune argued.
"Oh that thing? Nah, it's fine," she responded with a shrug. She walked off towards their room. "C'mon Jaune! I'm gonna drink all of his coffee if you don't hurry up."
Jaune looked at his retreating teammate, the door, his teammate, the door, before jogging over to her. Maybe Professor Oobleck wouldn't check to see if it was locked, and so they'd be in the clear.
"You actually let her do that?" Ren asked as he watched his best friend make coffee with her stolen brew.
"Well what was I supposed to do?" Jaune asked his male teammate.
"Not let her," Ren responded.
"That sounds easier than it actually is," Jaune shot back.
"It's really not. You could have distracted her with another activity," Ren argued back calmly, watching his friend take a long sip of the drink.
Jaune opened his mouth to argue against his calm teammate, but closed his mouth when he realized the other boy was correct. Why hadn't he thought of that earlier?
"Oh wow!" Nora exclaimed. "This tastes amazing!"
She moved from her little work station to where her male teammates were in a speed similar to Oobleck's, making Jaune eyes widen in a bit of worry.
"Oh no. I think I created a monster."
Ren sighed and massaged his forehead, listening to Nora begin to speak in a fast-paced manner.
"Wonderful."
