Oscar Pine and The Adventures at Atlas Academy! Adventure 2: Rightfully Unexplored Territory
"HEY OSCAR We're going back to the tundra again to help ensure the safety of the materials and stuff so yea that's COOL… hehe get it cuz it's cool out there in the cold...yea. BYE have fun playing your scroll games or something!" yelled Ruby as she ran out into the hallway to join the others.
Tehe. Day Two. Time to look at his options. Soon enough this will become routine as long as RWBY and JNR keep going out and ditching him here alone—
ANYWAYS look at how big the map is!
Oscar took a good gander at it. The kitchen was a fun one, although he got a nice long talk after being exposed. It made him realize that if he was going to do these wanderings around the school, he was going to have to be stealthy about it. No running into staff or officers.
HMMMMMMMMMM let's see. The dorms are boring. Now that he thought about it the Main Hall sounds kinda boring too… it might have too many staff members there anyways. He couldn't risk going NEAR the cafeteria or kitchen again, not with that one chef there. UGHHHHHHHH where could he go today?
And then Oscar noticed the Training Room. A good distance from the Cafeteria, and since it's still technically breakfast, no one should be there yet.
"I mean, I've been there many times for training with Ironwood and stuff, but like, I've never been able to SCREW AROUND in there! Excellent! TrAiNiNg rOoM iT iS!!"
And Oscar recalled the route he'd take with JNR and began to burst into a run—
And slowed to a quick stop.
He has to be STEALTHY. Oscar let out an annoyed sigh.
"EHHHHHHHHHHH THIS IS GONNA TAKE FOREVERRR" whispered Oscar. If he only figured out he had to take the stealthy way sooner, he would've tried to speed things up earlier!
"Screw it, I'll just be stealthy half-way."
And Oscar tip-toed around each corner, peeking around the walls (most of them), and making sure to make it there while sparing time for fun.
"Ok, almost there almost there—"
And as he looked around the corner, he spotted Ironwood. In. The. Flesh. (eh well partly flesh—).
Oscar quickly ducked his head back around the corner. What the duck! What's Ironwood doing here this early! Dammit, he must be coming early to prepare the room for the first class of the day!
"ANDDDDDDD nOpE nOpE nOpE not happening. MISSION ABORT!" whispered a panicking Oscar.
Oscar turned around quickly to escape back to the dorms. As he turned on his heel, however, students came walking in his direction in the hallway. Must be the students going to see Ironwood for training… shit.
Before the students could see him, he noticed a side door nearby.
"Duck it, if it's a good hiding place then screw it. I can't get caught again."
Oscar zipped through the door in a blur.
…
And that's when he knew...
"...oHHHHHHHHHHHH SHIIITTTTTTT I SCREWED UP."
...he ducked up.
This...is a very, very bad hiding place. How did he not see the "Ladies" sign!?
He stood there in front of the door in horrified shock.
...he was in the Ladies Restroom, and he couldn't get out. Not until he was in the clear.
"DUCK duck duck duck duck duck duck DAMMIT—"
"HEY FARM BOI! TOO INNOCENT TO CUSS, I SEE."
...shit.
It was none other than Neon Katt, in her roller skates washing her hands. He wanted to explore the school, but not THIS PLACE.
"I—um—I didn't mean to—"
"AWW it's ok! I saw you run in here, and it's obvious from yesterday's announcements that you have a record now. Besides, I'm sure the students are gone now."
"Oh—I—ok. Um, sorry, um… bye—"
"AWW uR sO cUtE!!"
DAMMIT. OSCAR'S CUTE LIL FRECKLES STRIKE AGAIN AND NOT IN HIS FAVOR.
"Look I'm sorry but I didn't mean to come in here and um I don't really wanna be here so—"
Neon just stood there giggling. At this point, Oscar would rather be caught than THIS.
"AWW UR BLUSHING UP—"
"cUz iM a GuY iN tHe GiRl'S bAtHrOoM aNd I nEeD tO gO bUt uR bEiNg wEiRd!!"
"Look, ok, FINE I'll stop messing with you. It's best to leave now before the OTHERS get here. Those students must just be the ones that like to leave breakfast early for class, there's bound to be more. Including my own team—"
"K THANKS BYE!"
Oscar took that chance to burst in full speed towards his dorm. He's seen too much for one day.
He ran past students upon students, but didn't care. He just needed to GO.
And FINALLY, he had arrived at his dorm. He collapsed against his bed gasping for breath, cringing at the horror he just went through. wHy cOuLdN't hE lOoK bEfOrE hE wEnT iNsIdE!?
He caught his breath and fell onto his bed, when he heard a weird crackling sound. Like the kind of sound he heard when Nora got out a bag of chips.
"What is that?"
He looked around. No bags of chips here. He stood up to get a better look of the place, when he heard it again. Coming from his shoe.
"Ugh, what's stuck on my shoe now—AHHHHHHHHHHHH!"
...it was a tampon wrapper.
Oscar closed his eyes tight and, shaking, lowered his hand to pluck it off his shoe. Out of disgust, he threw it hastily towards the trash can in the corner of the room.
"That's it. I'm done. Screw it. I'm not going anywhere. I'm pretty sure I've lost a good amount of my innocence today. I'll choose somewhere 'safer' tomorrow. I'm… going to take a nap in an attempt to erase those images from my memory."
And Oscar flopped onto his bed and went into sleep mode.
…
"OSCAR WE'RE BACK—"
"Shut up Nora! I think he's sleeping!"
"...AWW OUR SON IS SLEEPING—"
"Shut up! Both of you! And Nora, I think I know what will shut you up for a bit," whispered Jaune.
"oH REALLY? What exactly may that be, Jaune?" answered Nora.
"...well, you left a tampon wrapper next to the trash."
"...um, I, well, I'm not on my, 'ladies thing' right now."
…
And JNR wondered why there was a tampon wrapper next to the trash, all of them too disgusted to move it. Eventually, Nora summoned the courage to pick it up and put it into the Ladies' Restroom trash, meeting a smirking Neon on the way. Oscar peacefully slept through the entire predicament, however being given weird looks when he woke up. The End.
