When Fox entered the room, he was confused at what he was hearing. Or rather, if he was hearing the right things. It sounded as if someone was playing a video game. He could hear the virtual beeps and shooting noises, suggesting some sort of first-person. But there were also sounds of...flight?
"Uhh..." He called out, wanting to first discern who the player was.
"Oh, hello, Fox! Sorry-I was too busy playing the game to hear you walk in." There was no mistaking that accent. It was Velvet. Fox was surprised, having never known that the Faunus had a liking towards this style of gaming. Maybe it was one she gained recently? It could of been Coco. She liked dragging other people on fashion trips to Vale. Maybe she dragged Velvet in to video games?
"Is something wrong?"
Dang it! Fox had a bad habit of appearing as if he were staring at someone whenever he spaced out. It tended to put people on edge, and he could understand the feeling. Who wouldn't feel slightly creeped out by a pupilless fearsome warrior staring at them like he was contemplating eating you for lunch?
"Nothing, just...I don't mean to sound judgemental, but I didn't realize that you had an interest in this hobby." He walked towards Velvet and sat down next to her, watching-or listening-as she played through the game. Then he realized that he didn't even know what she was playing.
"I'm kind of surprised, too. It was Coco that dragged me in to this-" Of course, Fox thought, a small smile on his face. "-but she said it was only for one reason."
He frowned. Only one reason?
"What reason was that?"
"The game has your name in it. There's also a character in the game that's a rabbit, which is the type of Faunus I am...I guess that's two reasons, actually-" Velvet glanced at Fox, and was worried at what she saw. By now, she knew enough of his seemingly stoic collection of expressions to figure out that something just clicked in the huntsmen's mind.
"Fox...?" She asked. The blind huntsmen was completely still, but there was something off about the way he looked at the empty space in front of him. Velvet would of asked again to confirm that he heard her, but he spoke before she had the chance to.
"...Oh, Monty." He placed a hand on his face.
"What is it?" Velvet was really concerned, now.
"I think I just found the game that caused me so much torture and confusion in my old school."
All of the Faunus' worry was replaced with confusion. "What do you-"
"Do a barrel roll!" The game said.
"Hmm...Do you have a 6?" Glynda asked.
Oobleck frowned, giving his two 6's to the content blonde. "Do you have a-"
"GOD DAMN IT, STARFOX!"
"...4?"
"Dust, they're getting loud." Glynda scowled, looking out the window. She didn't need to turn around to know that Ozpin was smiling. "Ozpin, n-"
"Oh don't worry, this has nothing to do with romance."
Glynda looked at the headmaster suspiciously, before returning to their game.
She was too late in noticing the smirk on his face.
"Don't worry, Glynda, I'm not Foxing around when I say that."
Everyone screamed, "GOD DAMN IT, OZPIN!"
Coco's day was going fine so far. She bought the latest fashion magazine to catch up with the newest trends, she had a nice breakfast, and she even got a smile out of Yatsuhashi. It wasn't particularly hard, but it was still nice to see the gentle giant chuckling.
Of course, experience told Coco to be ready for anything that could steer a good day in to a terrible one. So when she walked by her dorm and heard Fox screaming, she barged in to the room, her minigun out.
"What's going oooon...?" Her voice faded to a stop, confusion replacing the concern on her face. From her perspective, she had no clue at all at what she was looking at.
Velvet had her face buried in her hands, and Fox was lying face-down, still as a statue, on his bed.
"O...kay, what did I miss?" She asked, casually slinging the gun over her shoulder.
Velvet leaned out of the darkness of her palms, and stared in to Coco's eyes, hidden by her sunglasses. With a surprisingly dark tone, she said,
"You missed years of pain that resurfaced because of your game, Coco."
Fox groaned in agreement, his voice muffled by the mattress.
Coco tilted her head. "What, you mean Starfox 64-"
Fox groaned again, but much more loudly.
She looked at the screen to find it paused. Her eyes went to the bottom of the T.V., to find a dialogue box. Without thinking, she read it out loud.
"Do a barrel ro-?"
"COCO, NO-"
Velvet tried to stop her, but it was too late.
"GFDN FDMNT CKCK!"
Glynda's head snapped up, a terrifying red glow emanating from her. "Again?!"
Ozpin shook his head. "No, that would be the return of the first ship."
His colleagues sighed. There was no getting through to Ozpin during their private moments with no one else to disturb them.
This was also a surprise for me. I didn't expect to come back to this series, with a "Do a barrel roll" reference of all things, lmao.
But yeah, the oneshot got great reception! Originally, this chapter was going to be another one shot but I realized I had another comedy oneshot involving half of CFVY. Why not add it to the same series?
Now, this is important. Do you guys want more CFVY shenanigans? Cause if you do, I'll turn this in to a full series. I might change the title and summary, too.
BUT...
I'll need you guys to send in ideas, whether it be PM or review, doesn't matter! Do what you feel is most comfortable.
Also, one more thing. For those of you that are fans of Percy Jackson/Heroes of Olympus...I have a small project coming soon.
"...Hey, Fox?"
"Yes, Velvet?"
"You're becoming more like your father every day."
Fox was confused. He'd never mentioned anything about his family to his team, not even to Coco. So what did Velvet mean when she said that? Was this some sort of joke?
"Uhh, I don-"
"Fox, trust your instincts."
Fox still didn't get it. Then, it hit him.
"Velvet, stop-"
"Fox."
"Velvet no-"
"Do a barrel roll."
"GOD DAMN IT, VELVET!"
"THAT'S another ship setting sail."
Glynda threw her cards over her shoulder, and walked out of the room, using her Semblance to force the doors open.
"I'm done."
In the end, even Velvet couldn't resist the temptation. That, or Coco forced her to.
