Chapter Text
So this chapter is kinda like a pre chapter in terms of things.
I needed a place to update people, and this seemed the better place to do it.
As well so people who have subscribed to the series / know the series can re/sub this so when the Year 1 chapters come out this summer, the sub will already be there.
As well as for a little housekeeping that you guys might not be aware of.
My Tumblr now reflects my Rosegarden hell and can view it here.
All the art you've seen previously is all used with Blooming's (or Ly's) permission! Her list to do is probably even longer than this series info doc.
You can see the first chapter cover for US1 chapter 11 if you haven't already here.
This part of the story was only meant to be four chapters long, but what else is new with this story? It's now double the size with years not wanting to stick to one per chapter basis.
Yes, we can still have at the "it should have been 5 chapters", because I am never living that down.
I still blame Blooming. She'd say she'd blame me. But she started it.
While this is put up now, outside of a little snippet from chapter 1: Chapter one won't actually be fully unredacted and posted until Volume 7 episode one releases, most likely somewhen in the summer months because hell I can't spare five minutes these days. I got that job interview I said I was going for! Now all my life is sucked into that!
Aside from all the news, and to say this series now has an official discord just for it, which you can view in all of its newly minted glory here, give a big big thanks to Blooming who set it up because I have no clue how to use discord, most days I'm just happy that when I press buttons things work! Be sure to read the fine print? I dunno, live a little, I guess.
Anyways! I promised a little snippet of chapter one, which is just me going I wanna show everyone I (Ozpin) yeeted Oscar off a cliff for shits and giggles. Its a little redacted and small to avoid spoilers, but I still find it funny.
The main song for chapter one is Amy Lee's version of "Love Exists", and that's all you're getting out of me in terms of songs, aside from the fact that I may have listened to several songs from Camila Cuevas' Glitchtale, so, they're fun!

Oscar found he couldn’t sleep. At all. Too many eyes. Too many people he just didn’t know. He wondered how many of them knew what was going to happen in a few hours, and if they all knew their landing strategies, if they had them.
He briefly recognised that Glynda had called them all out to the cliffside, and he had a brief thought he should throw Silvis at her and Ozpin.
What he took more notice of was that every first-year raced to get out of the locker room to do as Glynda said that made him sigh wearily.
He should definitely throw Silvis at them.
Oscar couldn’t help but tune Ozpin out as he recited his every year message, though several of the first years did screech in alarm when Ozpin pointed out exactly why they were there and the first to launch screamed out in terror.
“Oscar,” Ozpin called.
Oscar turned to look at him, having been the last one to arrive meant he was the closest, and the last to go flying.
“…Yeah?” He asked curiously trying to not flinch when Ozpin sided his head at him.
“…You do have an emblem, right?” Ozpin was asking. Oscar blinked at him. “Because you’ll need it.” He added. Oscar quite literally hadn’t thought of it as his peer next to him was sent flying. “And no, you can’t use mine.” Ozpin said.
Oscar didn’t have a chance to respond before he was suddenly sent flying and cursing Ozpin’s mother for all his worth.
Of course he would say that!
Oscar’s Semblance worked only if he himself was on the ground, or had Ruby to level him out, so until it decided to work without him needing to be on the ground, Oscar needed to work out how to grasp trees and branches to slow him down that were near him that he could catch them so he didn’t faceplant the ground at a good breakneck speed.
But he did find himself flat on the ground looking up at the sky, deeply frowning.
“This would be fine, I said, you’ll be fine, I said!” He snarked at himself. “Forgot about the whole emblem needing thing, didn’t you?” He asked himself as he groaned.
