"Phone a friend?"

That piqued his curiosity.

"What kinda friends are you phoning in?"

"That--"

Eyes wide as a watchful little owl, Oscar inched closer in his rapt attention.

"I've never even heard of that kind of thing before. H-how does it even work?"
justoscar: (sass)

"Is... this a spirit friend, or a date?"

He asked in a knowing tone, recognizing the suggested activities as ideas for things he had in mind to do with Dipper. 'The next level', in this case, meant something closer to tag teaming an exorcism rather than anything more... intimate.

Oscar laughed.

"How do you find them to talk to, though? How do you know if they're even interested?"
justoscar: (dork)

He was listening-- and absorbing the words and intent as avidly as any schoolkid who devoured literature in their spare time. Oscar chewed at his lower lip, thoughtful, and cast his gaze up to the sky.

"It really does sound like dating," he commented, already dreaming about what was possible.

"I got lucky with Dipper-- but, I wonder what other kind of beings here would want to bond like that?"
justoscar: (embarrassed)

"No, that's Shortcake."

He chuckled. Although the mix-up was strange for Oscar, he didn't push it. The gods only understood how many times a part of his soul had been reincarnated over the millennia. The details could get confusing.

Dreams were confusing, too.

Leaning forward, he elaborated.

"Dipper Pines. Messy hair, cool hat, probably wearing shorts, might be wearing an eyepatch. We're close to the same age, and he's totally brilliant. We saved each other a few times in the dream. And, uh..."

He looked away, a little sheepish.

"We're, uh. Datefriends. Boyfriends. Whatever word you wanna use for a couple of teenagers who decided to stand with each other and support each other."

Ruby, with her infinite love of sweets, was the one who had given the horse his name. It helped that Shortcake was fond of sweets as well, and an obvious softie when small people being endangered were in the equation.

To the question, Oscar very plainly grinned.

"We both have the dubious luck of having stubborn nerds as our mentors. They were kinda... a thing for a while, but Oz had to go mess that up by not telling the truth right away."

/end sass. Oscar cared about Ozpin, truly. He was an Oz-Bin, after all. However--

"I at least told the truth about the body hopping... and they understand that I might be an Oz-Bin, but I'm not Ozpin. It helped."

"Well, that..."

He hadn't thought about it like that-- and it really was awkward, now that he was.

"That was how we got talking more. We met last October. He was going to show me how to play a game... Dungeons, Dungeons, and Dungeons? It sounded neat-- I was gonna try to make a Druid for the character I'd play!"
justoscar: (derp)

[personal profile] justoscar 2021-12-28 03:26 am (UTC)(link)
Oscar laughed.

"We're not going into Actual Dungeons. We're just... pretending. Everything's totally safe-- besides, he's fourteen and I'm fifteen. We're not doing anything we wouldn't do in front of our family."
justoscar: (up)

[personal profile] justoscar 2021-12-29 04:15 am (UTC)(link)
A shrug.

"It was last winter, so we didn't really get a chance to before everything started happening. We both spent a good chunk of November recovering from Halloween... then Oz and I returned home for a... very unpleasant visit around the new year."

He shifted awkwardly, tugging uncomfortably at his shirt that hid the scar he had earned on his chest from that entire affair.

"The trip wasn't that pleasant, so we spent a good part of January recovering from that. Then... everything in the Dream started falling apart."
justoscar: (sweet)

After the better part of the last year, the solid foundation was desperately needed by everyone who made the jump-- and everyone who followed after.

"You think so?" Oscar asked, once more huddling closer against the chill breeze.

"I'll mention it to him, and see what he says. It'll be nice to have something like that to look forward to."
justoscar: (comfortable)

"I'll let him know,"

Oscar said, grinning. They both needed that reminder every once in a while.

"He said something about the game working best with a group if people. If we get one going, would you be interested in joining us?"
justoscar: (warm smile)

[personal profile] justoscar 2022-01-25 02:49 am (UTC)(link)
"If it helps, it didn't sound like it was about being good at it."

Oscar beamed, excited for something little and silly-- like any kid should be.

"It's about having fun. And you're pretty good at that."
