Hey. I am honestly in no mood to post stuff. Been a generally trashy day. But hell no am I gonna let it control me. So HERE'S OSCAR~ Well. More like Oscar pre-Season 4. Have fun!

Oscar hissed as the fork he had in his hand melted, dismissing his Sky Flames as the molten metal fell to the ground as he let it go. Annoyed, he gave up this attempt and decided to head back to his room.

Obviously, while Vongola Quatro's unique choice of weapons was... interesting to mess around with, without any Flame conductive metals to work with, he had no way of practicing his Flames. Secondo's option of bare hands was... not really how he prefered to work with his Flames. Guns and the crossbow of Daniella, while something he could easily procure for defence against Grimm, still required the Flame conductive material to make charged shots. The lack of weapon options to practice his Flames with was really making him twitchy.

He was seriously considering just using a normal pitchfork for long range, and his bare hands for close range. Said bare hands lightly coated in Flames that is. His control was not enough to fully cover his hands yet without leaving serious burns. And he was not used to firearms yet. He would get one for practice, but not in actual combat. Hopefully Reborn's lessons on firearms was still instilled in him.

Sighing, Oscar picked up the blueprint on his table, one he had made with the help of the blacksmith nearby. Mechshift weapons were a staple in Remnant, and having long ranged and short ranged weapons combined into a single one made it easy to swap according to the situation.

Consulting the man on all the parts and where each went took months of work, and while they had a prototype of the gloves made using inferior materials, Oscar knew it wasn't fully usable yet.

First there was the gloves themselves. While he could test the mechshift function, with the left capable of turning into a handgun (which confused the blacksmith) and the right into a gauntlet (confusing the blacksmith even more), he couldn't test the actual capabilities. The gun was supposed to be remnicent of Xanxus' guns, capable of channeling concentrated beams of Flames. The gauntlet was remnicent of the Mitena di Vongola Primo, again, capable of channeling Flames. Since neither were made of Flame conductive metals (and the leather of the gloves underneath not being Flame proof), he couldn't even test that particular capability.

Second... Second was the earlier stated fact that Oscar still needed practice with handguns. Gauntlets were easy to use. Handguns? Not so much.

Third was timing the mechshift function according to what he needed. That was one of the main reasons he needed the model of the gloves, to practice with each trigger, each twist, each flick of a finger, making sure every move was smooth in practice, so that, on the occasion he did find Flame conductive and Flame proof materials, it would be easy to just slip on said gloves and use it immediately.

Fourth was... the hardest. He was probably not going to be able to find anyone capable of making it for a long time. He needed the X-contacts and Headphones. While he had been able to gague his output easily while he was an adult, as a child getting used to using Flames again? And with a smaller output considering his age? He needed to make sure he didn't over extend himself the first time he needs to use the X-Burner. Headphones were easy to get, but finding someone to create the execution program, creating the contacts, and linking said program to the contacts... well...

(Perhaps it was a good thing he didn't ask about Dust round chambers. He doubted the blacksmith would have been happy to try and work that into the prototype. Oscar was doomed to work with what he had for quite sometime.

On the other hand, anyone who walked past the farm would have been surprised at bizzare scorch marks around the perimeter, and the complete lack of Grimm. When the owner of the farm was asked, she had no idea. Apparently the Grimm had not attacked the farm for years now, and she had zero clue as to the reason why.)

Hehehe... There will be another Oscar chapter in the future by the way. Also the Pinus lambertiana or Sugar Pine is the tallest Pine tree in the world, reaching up to 200 feet or more. Reach to the skies why don't you?
