?: THIS GAME IS FUCKING AWFUL!
(Laughter ensues from everyone else.)
(Screen cuts to black.)
Leichter: Hey, it's Hole Seven now. Maybe it will be lucky, Jaune?
Mercury: Yeah. It's not too late.
Jaune: Suck me.
(Laughing from everyone else except for Ruby who says…)
Ruby: Where?
(Numerous shouting of increased disturbance from the others.)
Yang: Sis! Why did you do that?
Ruby: I'm serious! Where? His ear? His finger?
Roderick: You have no idea what Jaune said do you?
Pyrrha: Let's just drop it and play the video game.
Blake: It doesn't seem like there are any secrets to this one.
Mercury: The hole's just, right there.
Jaune: Alright. Let me just…
(Jaune hits his ball only slightly forward, becoming an obstacle.)
Ruby: Really Jaune?
Jaune: Hey, an Arc never goes back on his word. Even ones of vengeance.
Leichter: But, we can just go around you.
(Leichter succeeds. But the pathway to the hole gets longer and the hole is put farther away.)
Leichter: Oh wow.
Pyrrha: So that's how this works then…
Yang: I got it!
(Yang hits her ball at high speeds toward the hole's new position. What happened to Leichter happens again to Yang.)
Yang: What!?
Roderick: Is it just going to keep doing that?
Leichter: If I were to wager… yes.
Mercury: And we can't get a good shot in because Jaune's blocking the way.
Ruby: I'll fix it!
(Ruby knocks Jaune's ball out of the way.)
Roderick: There we go.
(Everyone, barring Jaune, proceeds to go straight for the hole. But the hole just gets father and farther away until…)
Roderick: The hole disappeared!
Jaune: Wow, really?
(Jaune sees the hole is right behind start, far enough so that no one else can see it. He moves slightly in front of the hole, but not in it. He waits for the others to realize it.)
Blake: So, now what?
Ruby: Oh look, a portal!
(Ruby goes into a portal. It puts her in water. There is a message in the sky that says: The flags all the way back at start. XD.)
Ruby: You. Are. Joking.
(Everyone else nearby goes through the portal and sees the exact same thing.
Mercury: Are you serious?
Leichter: Hey guess what, Jaune's not with us so guess where he is.
Blake: I just reset. He's blocking the hole.
Jaune: Now we're all getting a hundred! HAHAHAHAHA!
Roderick: I am genuinely concerned for Jaune's mental state right now.
Pyrrha: I think getting two hundred strokes due to the unfair map design and nature of this game is causing it.
Leichter: Shit.
(Leichter barely misses the hole.)
Jaune: Oh that's unfortunate…
(And then Jaune blasts Leichter's ball away, resetting him back to start. Jaune resets back to his position in front of the hole.)
Leichter: Uuuhhhhhhh….
Ruby: He can't get all of us!
(At this time, everyone goes for a mad dash for the hole. Some are fortunate and got in…)
PolarExpress001 finished in 8 strokes.
GambolGambit13 finished in 7 strokes.
SangriaDespot1 finished in 9 strokes.
CrescentRoseReaper finished in 8 strokes.
(Others… not so much.)
Yang: Jaune, don't you dare!
(Jaune knocks Yang away.)
Jaune: I dared.
Mercury: This is ridiculous!
Blake: You guys have twenty seconds left.
Roderick: OH GOD!
(The three who haven't safely made it into the hole desperately try to get in the hole. This comes with varying success. Ranging from…)
CelicaDrake6 finished in 13 strokes.
BlackheartBoots41 finished in 15 strokes.
(To…)
Roderick: COME! OOOOONNN! Jaune! Don't do it!
Jaune: Oh, I'm doing it!
(Jaune knocks Roderick's ball away, giving both of them no time to be able to make one last shot for the hole.)
OliveAutarch4 ran out of time.
TheGreatArc ran out of time.
(The sound of a desk being slammed on can be heard. Guess who?)
Roderick: AAAAAAAAAAGGHHHH!
(Laughing can be hear from everyone else. Even Jaune, who says;)
Jaune: Fuck you! I don't care!
Roderick: Great. I went from first, TO A HUNDREAD AND THIRTY!
(More laughter.)
Leichter: Uhh, Hole Eight?
Ruby: There's a message that says: How good is your memory?
Yang: All I see is a maze.
Mercury: Oh joy. Another one.
Leichter: Seems simple.
(They all hit their balls forward. As soon as they do…)
Roderick: Oh wow!
Jaune: The entire maze just disappeared.
Blake: And the hole's invisible too.
Roderick: Fucking amazing.
Jaune: I can't even sabotage you now because I don't know where the hole is. I kind of need to know that in order to screw you guys over.
Ruby: Well, I guess we have no choice…
(They all go through the invisible maze. Needless to say, they all struggle. But in the end, one of them manages to make it to the end…)
Leichter: Yay. I did it- wait what?
(But not in the hole. It instead became a portal to another cave. Inside was a message that said; Remember the first hole?)
Leichter: Remember the-
(Guess where the hole is.)
SangriaDespot1 finished in 16 strokes.
Leichter: Oh wow… WOW!
(Leichter can't help but chuckle to himself. It wasn't very quiet though…)
Ruby: WHAAAAT?
Yang: What did you do?
Leichter: Oh, you'll find out.
(Blake and Mercury both make it to the end of the maze and see it…)
Mercury: Oh come on! Not again!
GambolGambit13 finished in 19 strokes.
BlackheartBoots41 finished in 20 strokes.
Blake: It's the same as the first hole.
Roderick: Are you serious?
(Ruby, Roderick, and Jaune reset and try it.)
CrescentRoseReaper finished in 16 strokes.
OliveAutarch finished in 18 strokes.
TheGreatArc finished in 23 strokes.
Roderick: Fuck this game.
(Laughing comes from everyone else who finished. As for those who didn't already, they quickly follow in their peers' footsteps.)
CelicaDrake6 finished in 21 strokes.
PolarExpress001 finished in 37 strokes.
Jaune: Wait, Pyrrha? How did you get so many strokes?
Pyrrha: I… forgot the maze and had to check everywhere. I wasted a lot of strokes there…
Leichter: Ah. Tis a shame.
Ruby: WAIT!
(Ruby checks the scoreboard.)
Ruby: I'M IN THE LEAD!
Pyrrha: Are you?
(Everyone checks the scoreboard.)
Leichter: Wow, it's pretty close.
Mercury: Yeah. And then the two on the bottom.
Jaune and Roderick: SHUT UP!
(Laughing)
Blake: Uh, guys. You mind reading the sign right next to us?
Jaune: Okay then…?
Roderick: Hole Nine. Par Forty-Two.
Ruby: Par WHAT!?
Yang: Didn't I see that somewhere?
Leichter: Oh no. Did the map maker replicate the long hole from Golf on Steam VR?
Roderick: Oh no, I think they did!
Mercury: I remember watching some people play that game too! Wasn't it…
Pyrrha: It was MiniLadd and DaithiDeNogla!
Mercury: Shout-outs to those two by the way. Not sponsored.
Yang: Oh that's neat!
Ruby: Well, prepare for a ginormous mess that is this hole.
Roderick: Yay, I can't wait.
(If you've seen this particular hole before, you might have a good idea of how it looks. Otherwise, find a Golf VR video with the above YouTubers in it. You'll know what hole is being referenced when you see it.)
Leichter: Wup. I fell off.
Yang: Me too.
Pyrrha: At least there isn't a sound effect of when we go out of bounds.
Roderick: Could you imagine if that was the case.
Jaune: Yeah. We'd be hearing 'BOO-DOOP' over and over again!
(A few more seconds go by through the marathon hole. And EVERYONE suffers. Until everyone manages to reach the top.)
Yang: Of course the find a way to make the cannon section at the top.
Leichter: The pipes move and will control your direction.
Ruby: Something tells me we have to do this in a specific order.
Blake: We have fifty seconds. There were no traps here.
Mercury: Maybe the sign behind us will explain why.
Roderick: It says; There are no traps in this hole. Honestly. But this hole was implemented from Golf VR with the intention to waste your time. You're welcome.
Pyrrha: So it is from Golf VR!
CrescentRoseReaper finished in 42 strokes.
Ruby: And I did it! In Par!
Blake: Wow. Nice. No really. Nice.
TheGreatArc finished in 45 strokes.
Jaune: NO! I didn't want to go in the hole! I wanted to sit there and sabotage you guys!
Leichter: Jaune, the hole is in a boxed in space. You wouldn't have knocked us out of there.
Jaune: I guess that's true.
SangriaDespot1 finished in 43 strokes.
CelicaDrake6 finished in 50 strokes.
Ruby: Hey, wait a minute…
PolarExpress001 finished in 48 stokes.
Pyrrha: What Ruby?
Ruby: Didn't someone royally mess up in that video with those guys in it?
GambolGambit13 finished in 47 strokes.
Pyrrha: If I remember, Nogla shot his cannon at the wrong time and wound up back at cannon number one.
Leichter: Yeah, that is what happened.
BlackheartBoots41 finished in 52 strokes.
Ruby: Wow. I'm glad that didn't happen to us.
Pyrrha: yeah. It would be a shame if it did hap-
(And cue the only one to not finish doing exactly that. Guess who…)
Roderick: THIS GAME IS FUCKING AWFUL!
(Laughter ensues from everyone else.)
Yang: Relax. At least you're not all the way back at start.
Roderick: *deep breathing*
(And then, Roderick launches off the top of the small wall, over the ground up top, and falls off, and lands AT THE VERY START OF THE HOLE.)
(Greater laughter uproars from everyone, except, obviously, Roderick who is…)
(Roderick's face cam shows him slamming his headphones on his desk and walking away.)
Roderick (in an echo-y voice): I HATE THIS GAME!
OliveAutarch4 ran out of time.
(The laughter continues.)
Jaune: How does it feel? HOW DOES IT FEEL?
Leichter: I don't think you're getting an answer…
(Roderick's face cam shows him returning, but not putting his headphones on. He does something and immediately leaves.)
Ruby: Uh, Roderick? You okay?
Blake: I don't think-
OliveAutarch4 has left the game.
Mercury: Oh, he's gone.
(More laughter.)
Jaune: Well then. Guess I don't have to worry about coming in last.
(Sounds of a door slamming.)
Yang: That doesn't sound good.
Leichter: Yeah, I think Roderick just left his room.
Blake: Should someone check up on him?
Leichter: I'll call Stella about that now. I'll be leaving Discord for a bit for that.
Pyrrha: Okay.
(Insert Discord disconnect sound here.)
Ruby: Speaking of which, Roderick never left the Discord when he stormed off.
Yang: You know, now that you told me, you're right.
Mercury: I think he got so angry he didn't even bother.
Jaune: I legitimately feel bad…
Blake: Well, hopefully Stella can help him.
Ruby: Yeah…
Author's Notes
And there you have it. It's only halfway into the first game and Beacon Gaming has had its first, but most certainly not last, rage-quit. Poor Roderick. It happens to us all one day in our life. You work so hard on something that feels like in took ages to complete. But once you get to the end, it all gets taken away. It's especially worse when you remember, in RSCL, Roderick has a horrible temper. It was bound to happen eventually. Anyways, enjoy the mentioned cameos of MiniLadd and DaithiDeNogla. Really great YouTubers. Like I said, this is an AU which takes place on Earth, so they are aware of some well-known YouTube icons. But seriously, that video was just so good, I couldn't resist but to include a homage to it here. The result: Roderick rage-quits. Again, poor Roderick. Oh also, I should address the disturbing that is Ruby being sexually oblivious. I did say that this kind of stuff would happen in the disclaimer. If you haven't you should read it. Well, see you tomorrow for three more holes of rage, minus Roderick. Until next time, I'll stay Enigmatic.
