Another Friday. Another chapter.
A Matter of Clothes
Oscar had left the Cotta-Arc house in a hurry. You'd think it was because Jaune's words had unearthed the fears that he'd been struggling to bury ever since Ozpin first talked to him. It would be natural to panic after once again having it thrown to his face that his existence was merely a temporary one, doomed to be absorbed into a greater whole.
You'd be wrong.
The truth was Oscar had realized how lame his clothes were in comparison to everyone else's. He wasn't like Jaune who could somehow pull off the jeans and hoodie look. No, Oscar had to upgrade fast, or else everyone would realize he was kind of bland.
That was why he was going to buy new clothes and rock that wizard look!
"But do I want bottle green or celadon?" Oscar asked to himself while examining the two identical coats, all while ignoring the irony of dressing up as the one person he didn't want to be. "Hm, tough choice."
Oh well, it wasn't like he was paying for it. He had taken Qrow's wallet for this.
That'd teach that jerk for punching him!
"Out of my way!" yelled Cinder Fall as she entered the store with Neo in tow. "Shopkeep, my friend and I will be traveling to a frozen wasteland, so we need to be dressed as skimpily as possible! Bring out your sluttiest clothes!"
Luckily for Oscar, he was too forgettable to be recognized by Cinder. Thus, he was able to continue shopping in peace.
Adam was also there, shopping for a cool new blindfold to make the reveal of his scar as dramatic as possible, but his screen time had to be sacrificed to show Cinder and Neo doing nothing of importance.
After all, who'd want one of main antagonists of the volume to get any screen time?
That'd be silly.
AN:
What? You thought I was joking with that summary?
I wasn't.
I think I'm going to try alternating between serious updates and crack ones. Hopefully I have enough of both to make that work.
Till next Friday!
