Again guys, another short one, because I have something else planned. I was originally going to do Jaune as Boromir, but someone beat me to it. I'll still be doing a Lord of the rings universe, but it will be Jaune as someone else. Not Boromir.
"Well, again, heres to hoping we don't get something depressing."
"I mean, they have to give us a break in between depressing things right?" Ruby asked as everyone was kind of doubtful.
"Look, as long as we don't see him die in a horrible way. I'm fine." Blake would soon regret saying that.
The scene opened to classical piano music playing as a large piece of meat was put on a cutting board. The piece itself looked like a beef leg as you could see two hands start to season the meat. The camera went upwards to reveal a slightly older, but still very handsome Jaune. But his hair was cut neater and combed to the side, and he had a slight facial scar.
He was humming along to the music as he seasoned and stuffed the meat with various food items. And rolling them all up.
"Huh, well this seems pretty peaceful." Yang said as she was expecting something more dramatic.
"Oh! He's a chef!" Ruby said as she was excited to see a normal Jaune.
"He seems to be putting a lot of care into his meals." Glynda said as he was really going all out.
Clearly the boy had some culinary skills.
"Well, besides Ren, Jaune does have a pretty good sense around the kitchen." Pyrrha admitted as Jaune had been taught well by seven sisters.
"So, where do you think he works? Five star restaurant?" Nora asked excited that Jaune could be a famous chef.
"We won't know until we get further along." Ozpin said in a 'matter of fact' voice.
Jaune then tied string around the meat as he covered it with a layer of beef. And finishing it off by wrapping it in a giant leaf. After he had been satisfied with his work, he started to cover the dish in clay.
"Huh? Why is he covering it in clay?" Nora asked confused.
"Some chefs tend to cook the meat in different ways that give it a different taste or texture."
"Huh, so he must really know his stuff." Yang had to admit, that was starting to look good.
Jaune soon came out to the table carrying the clay roasted thigh as he set it down. Only to reveal that he was not alone in the house, and that he had a guest over. A friend from work. Well not exactly a friend, but they had known each other. Granted they did not interact much until just a few days ago when Jaune had caught her.
Sitting on the other end of the table was Glynda Goodwitch, but she seemed pale and staring off into space.
"Clay roasted thigh." He said as he smiled at her.
"Wow, Goodwitch, no offense, but you look sick." Qrow said as she definitely looked pale.
"Yes, almost as if I lost a bit of blood or something." She couldn't understand why she looked the way she did.
"Oh well, maybe Jaune is trying to nurse you back to health?" Qrow suggested.
"Possibly." Glynda was quite glad her student was so thoughtful.
"And…can you cut marrow bone…" Jaune said as he started to crack the lay with a meat tenderizer.
"I love cooking with clay, creates a more succulent dish, a fantastic addition to the meat, and adds a little bit of flair to dinner." He said as he held up a carving knife.
"Shall I cut?" He asked his guest in a polite tone.
Glynda looked up at him with a blank look.
"I think you already have…"
"Huh? What could she possibly mean by that?" Ruby was just as confused as everyone else.
"He already has? But he just brought dinner out…." Glynda didn't understand, what did her other self mean.
"Maybe her sickness is making her think he already did?" Qrow suggested.
Suddenly the camera went down to reveal that Glynda was missing a leg. And then the camera went back to Jaune.
"Your legs are useless now, you have a fractured spinal cord, and I would hate to see such lovely legs go to waste, this my dear is a much more practical use for those limbs."
Everyone's faces went wide with horror.
"W-w-WHAT?!" Blake stood up as she realized what was going on.
"J-Jaune…he…he…HE COOKED HER LEG!" Nora suddenly felt sick to her stomach.
Everyone couldn't believe what they had just heard. They thought they had come across a universe where Jaune was a simple cook. But now it appeared that he was some psychopath who cooked people's limbs! Worse, he was trying to-
Wait….
"Jaune…is….is he…a cannibal?" Ruby asked as everyone really didn't want to think of it.
"…..Oh god…." Ozpin suddenly felt sick as the implications of this reality came crashing down..
"Hard to have anything…isn't it Dr. Arc?" Glynda asked.
"Doctor? Jaune is a doctor?" Pyrrha asked trying to recover from the sickening revelation.
"Most likely a surgeon considering how he…he…" Glynda rubbed her left leg as she realized what was going to happen to her in this reality.
"Rare to get it, hard to keep it….damn slippery life." She said slowly and morbidly.
"You are determined to know the mistrali river, Dr. Goodwitch, now is your oppurtunity." He said as he carved some meat and put some on both of their plates.
"You intend for me to be my last meal?" She asked as he nodded.
"But of course."
Glynda went silent for a bit.
"How does one politely refuse a meal in a situation like this?"
"Just say no! Why are you debating with him?" Glynda couldn't believe she looked so defeated, this wasn't her!
"Why aren't you fighting back? You can still use Aura can't you?" Ruby didn't understand why she wasn't trying to fight Jaune with everything she had.
"I don't know, whatever he did, it must have broken me…"
"One does not, the tragedy is not to be eaten….but to be wasted." Jaune said as he took a bite out of her thigh.
"BLAH!" Ruby couldn't take it, she threw up as she saw him stick the human meat in his mouth.
Everyone else was having difficulty trying to hold it in. Ozpin was faring the best as he had seen stuff like this before. Qrow however had stopped drinking as suddenly he felt sick to his stomach. Yang couldn't watch. Blake couldn't believe anyone could resort to cannibalism.
Team NPR was not faring better, they were thinking of all the meals Jaune had cooked for them over the past few months. Such succulent dishes, such delicious tender meat. But now, all they could think of was Jaune with a sick smile on his face as if he was feeding them human flesh all along.
And that terrified them.
Seeing as there was nothing else to do. Glynda grabbed her silverware.
"No….." Glynda was hoping she wouldn't do it.
She cut a small piece of meat up from her plate.
"No…please…don't do it…" She was begging herself not to do it.
And she stuck it in her mouth and started to chew.
"…." Glynda went silent as she suddenly felt pain in her leg.
And odd sensation, it felt as if something was biting down on it. She wasn't sure if it was because the onscreen depiction was too much for her, or if her brain was unknowingly feeling phantom pain from her on screen counterpart. But it hurt.
Glynda swallowed and smiled a bit.
"My compliments to the chef."
"Oh god, I'm gonna be sick again…" Ruby was really glad she had a waste basket.
