Oswald Connolly- Mistaken Identity?!

Turning his head to his relatively noisy new arrival, Oswald raised an eyebrow in appraisal as Krysanthe introduced herself and asked him to affirm his identity. "Well...you got the name and the team, but I'm actually the O of CODE. Our leader's actually Cobalt. I'm...I guess I'd call myself the team's meatshield and resident survivalist."

Jerking a thumb in Emerald's direction as he spoke, Oswald shrugged. "Being responsible for a team is tough work. It takes a special kind of person to be truly effective at it. Not too distant, but able to step back from a situation and make the tough calls when they need to. Someone who has the strength and the moxie to stand up at the gates of hell and not back down." Someone like you, Oswald.

Scowling at a rare intrusive memory, Oswald shook his head. "It also takes a keen tactical and strategic mind to be able to best utilize your allies' skills and abilities. As effective as I might be against a big, stupid Grimm...there's a bit more to being a true leader than telling some people where to go and jumping in the way of an errant Ursa."

Has Sapphire uh, showed any interest in Oswald at all?

@Crimmy

Kinda/sorta/maybe. The little excursion to the her uncle's bar (and some of her thoughts) have shown that, at the very least, she's more fond of Oswald than literally anybody else at Beacon.

I'm probably going to have Shiro skip Computer Science to accomplish this.

@harinezumikouken

This is an acceptable loss.

Tell Oswald. Make fun of him for not hating Sapphire.

SET THE SHIP ASAIL!

Oswald Connolly- Lunch -->Armory

Ignoring the conversations around him after Cobalt and Diamond left, Oswald carefully grabbed his team leader's wallet from the table and stood as the bell rang. "See ya around, folks. Class time, I guess." Giving a nod goodbye to Sapphire and Emerald, he quickly made his way to the armory classroom and sat down, looking around. It was hard to believe it'd only been a week since a fight had broken out in here, since Marcus had practically shocked the professor with his tank.

The thing about life was that, no matter what you did, time kept marching on, relentlessly. Half his team had been replaced, some entire teams had practically vanished, and people kept disappearing and being replaced almost instantly. He wasn't sure what had happened to everybody, exactly, but he knew he was curious, and that he should just keep his head down if he didn't want to get caught up in something he couldn't handle.

Unfortunately, those were the kinds of situations he loved jumping recklessly into.

Sorry about no posty yet, boss.

Tired as balls. Had to open at work yesterday, had D&D night, got not as much sleep as I would have liked, and am still tired.

Should post soon.

Heroes of Beacon - the Next Chapter

I used to.

Heroes of Beacon - the Next Chapter

She'd trusted Oswald enough and he'd dragged half of his team with him. She wouldn't make the same mistake twice.

@Prince of Seraphs

Nevar forget Oswald's number one lesson: "The prickly pears tend to have reasons for their thorns. It just takes a careful hand to avoid getting stabbed."
