Based on OSP's retelling of "The Boy Who Found Fear At Last"
Mama Valkyrie: (Screams)
Nora: Mommy? Why are you screaming?
Mama Valkyrie: The wind blew the door open, and it scared me!
Nora: It... scared you? What's scared?
Mama Valkyrie: Well, um, it's like a really bad feeling you get when you think something bad is going to happen to you.
Nora: Like what?
Mama Valkyrie: It's worse if you don't know.
Nora: That's dumb.
Nora: (Leaves without saying good-bye)
Mama Valkyrie: (No longer in this story)
----------------------------------------------
Nora: (Sees mountain in the distance) Ooh~!
Nora: (Hears laughter, Squeezes between bandits)
Raven: And that's when I stabbed him! (Bandits laugh)
Nora: What are you guys talking about? (Bandits scream)
Raven: If you're looking for fear, then I'm afraid you've found it! (Draws Omen)
Nora: Really? Where?
Raven: ...
Raven: (Sulks)
Shay: There, there, boss. You're still very terrifying.
Vernal: Uh, there's a graveyard nearby you could try. Here, bake this cake while you're down there.
Nora: Thanks~!
----------------------------------------------
Nora: (Baking cake in a cemetery)
Pyrrha: (Reaches out) IS... THAT... FOR... ME?
Nora: Nope! (Whacks hand with spoon) Dead people can't eat cake.
Nora: (Takes cake, Leaves)
Raven: (Still sulking)
Shay: Look, boss. The weird girl brought cake. You should try it.
Vernal: Uh... There's a spooky pool of water on the other side of the mountain.
Nora: Ooh! I like the sound of that!
----------------------------------------------
Jaune: (Crying on a swing set over pool)
Nora: Huh...
Saphron: Please! You have to help my baby brother!
Nora: I do?
Saphron: Here, let me get on your shoulders so I can reach him!
Nora: Okay. (Saphron stands on shoulders) Just let me know when you got him. (Saphron pushes down) OOGH! S-Stop it! (Throws her) Alright, I'm done! Hm? Ooh! Shiny white bracelet!
Nora: (Takes bracelet from the ground, Jaune and Saphron disappear) Hey, problem solved~!
Nora: (Wanders into town)
Blake: Hey. I'm an unexpected reminder of the casual occurrence of faunism in historical literature. That's my one personality trait, and also that bracelet is mine.
Nora: Tell it to the judge!
----------------------------------------------
Ironwood: You claim you "won it from a ghost". And your claim is...
Blake: I'm a sneaky and conniving trickster and boy do I hate humans.
Ironwood: Uh huh... Well, seeing as both claims are so far-fetched, despite being an old fairy tale of dated historical relevance, I have no choice but to hold onto this bracelet until I can be provided with a bracelet just like this one to prove ownership.
----------------------------------------------
Nora: (Unfazed by complex legal system, Still no fear) Stupid judge...
Nora: (Sees ship sinking with people screaming) Ooh~!
Nora: (Swims over) What's the matter? Are you guys stuck? (Screamed at) Uh... Okay, I'll take a look!
Nora: (Dives, Sees Weiss dragging boat down)
Nora: (Punches woman, Ties her up)
Weiss: What just happened?!
Nora: (Gurgles, Blurgles)
Nora: (Swims up) Okay! Try her again!
----------------------------------------------
Nora: (In an enchanted forest)
Nora: (Experiencing whimsy) Is this existential dread?
Nora: Huh? (Sees three birds flying nearby, Watches birds transform)
Saphron: You will not believe the night I had!
Pyrrha: Try me, sister.
Weiss: So, there was this bird~.
Pyrrha: (Pours drink) A toast to the brave girl who smacked my hand away when I was coming out of my grave!
Saphron: (Raises drink) A toast to the fearless girl who threw me off of her shoulders when I tried to drown her!
Weiss: (Swigs drink) And a toast to the weird girl who swam to the bottom of the ocean to fight me IRL.
Nora: DO YOU- Stop screaming- Do you have another bracelet?
Saphron: (Leads to enchanted treasure hall) Are you sure you don't want anything else?
Nora: (Walking away with bracelet) Nah, I'm good!
----------------------------------------------
Nora: READ IT AND WEEP, OLD MAN!
Ironwood: I will do no such thing.
Nora: (Walking away happily with bracelets, Sees crowd) What's going on?
Oscar: We're about to have a new king!
Nora: Does that happen a lot?
Oscar: ...No. Anyway, since the king died with no heirs, we have a foolproof plan to determine who our next king will be! See, a pigeon will be released from the top of the castle wall, and whoever it lands on will become our new king!
Nora: Wow! That's so much better than a democratically elected system! Huh? (Pigeon lands on her) Oh. Would you look at that?
Oscar: ALL HAIL THE KING! (Crowd cheers)
Suddenly, Nora feels something. Sees something. She peers into a window of the future, one most uncomfortable. She was bound to a throne, tied by a sense of obligation and responsibility, and forced to spend the rest of her life trying and failing to make the poor richer, the hungry satiated, and the bad better. Never again would she have her freedom to wander and do as she pleased.
Nora's chest became tighter, and her breathing shallower. Her vision began to blur as tears filled her eyes and spilled over from her cheeks. Her heart began to ache so much, she brought a hand to where it tried to rest, and found her arm, her fingers shaking with this strange new emotion! Was... Was this the fear she sought?
Robyn: Huh... She doesn't look to happy.
Nora: My carefree lifestyle! My free time! My vibes!
Qrow: We gotta reassure her! RELEASE MORE PIGEONS!
Nora: (Sobbing, Covered in pigeons) Thanks, you guys... I'm good now... (Crowd cheers)
Do you think any of the parnets went to hot topic when they were younger?
Apparently Hot Topic was founded in November 1989, starting off by selling gothic belts and dark scrunchies. Shortly after, they started becoming a destination for alternative and rock fans, then they shifted to pop culture figures like South Park, Spongebob Squarepants, and Homey the Clown.
Looking at the different parent attires, I'd say...
NO to Kali, Jacques, Willow, Li Ren, Taiyang, Mama Valkyrie, Ozpin, Mama Nikos.
YES to Ghira, Raven, An Ren, Summer, Salem.
I'd also say Qrow was also a fan of Hot Topic, but often found himself tripping over belts into the glass cases at least more than once. I'll even add that Winter was also a fan of Hot Topic when she was younger, possibly even acting as the start of her rebellious phase.
Mama Valkyrie: Nora, we've been over this. My regulars from the club are coming over today, and I can't have you coming in during our... "business meetings".
Nora: Can you at least not have them in my room this time?
Mama Valkyrie: Oh, honey...
Mama Valkyrie: Your room has the best bed. Now get!
