“You act like I'm older, like I should be just like you. Like I should be just like Dad. You never let me be a kid. Dad died, and you expected me to just grow up.” |
Oscar Avila is the protagonist of Out of Stock, the third story in Fazbear Frights 2: Fetch. He is a teenage boy who, after a constant string of tragedy and misfortune, decides to take a Plushtrap Chaser toy despite his better judgement.
Physical Appearance[]
Not much is said about Oscar's appearance besides his smooth features and dark-brown eyes that he shares with his mother. His shoes are also described as having the wrong logo.
Personality[]
Despite his attempts to be hopeful, Oscar has a rather pessimistic view on life due to a constant string of bad luck and misfortune. He loves his mother and is unwilling to disappoint her, so he usually accepts his losses and lets opportunities pass him by. Oscar eventually becomes more frustrated and begins acting out, such as taking the lifelike Plushtrap Chaser and yelling at his mother. He is quick to regret these decisions and tries his best to rectify things. Oscar has great respect for his friends and will do anything to protect them, like lying to his mother and risking his own life. During his final confrontation with the Plushtrap Chaser he realizes that luck isn’t found, it’s made, and you need to know when to grab hold of it when it is. Oscar also comes to appreciate the smaller things in life, even if his friends would find it silly.
History[]
Backstory[]
For most of Oscar's life, he's had to deal with constant misfortune and tragedy. When he was rather young, his father went to the hospital for a tonsillectomy and contracted a fatal infection, leaving his mother to raise Oscar alone. The two had to move to the cheaper side of town and limit their luxuries due to a poor income. In third grade, Oscar met Raj and Isaac on the playground and the three became best friends. Oscar also became very close with his mother, even when he'd act up like setting a bat free in their house. As he grew older, however, his mother became more dependent on him. Oscar spends most of his time helping his mom at the Royal Oaks Nursing Home while his friends Raj and Isaac spend their allowances at the mall.
Oscar's string of bad luck continued as he grew older as well. He almost made Varsity baseball, but he dislocated his elbow. Oscar almost saved enough money for a cell phone, but he was robbed on a train before he could get it. Every time something almost goes his way in life leads to increasing frustration in his life, but his love for his mother and respect for his friends usually makes him roll with the punches. Oscar and his friends eventually became interested in the world of Freddy Fazbear, with Oscar especially coming to like a light-activated mechanical green rabbit known as the Plushtrap Chaser. The three begin saving up to purchase the toy, with Oscar hoping life would finally turn around for him.
Out of Stock[]
In late October, Oscar learns that the Plushtrap Chaser will be going on sale Friday morning around four o'clock. Oscar complains about this fact to Raj and Isaac while they make their way to school, but none of them are willing to ditch class and decide to simply hope they're still in stock by the time class ends. The school day is miserable for Oscar and it's made worse when, at 2:33, Oscar is called to the front office. There, he learns that his mom need help with an older patient named Mr. Deveraux who only really listens to Oscar and a few other people. He arrives to learn that Mr. Deveraux is paranoid that the cat that's slept in his room peacefully for years is stealing his soul. Oscar manages to calm him down and Mr. Deveraux notices that he seems upset. Oscar tries to explain what's going on, and Mr. Deveraux tells him that, "Sometimes you have to know when to go for it, even when it doesn't seem possible."
Isaac leaves a message for Oscar, explaining that they're heading for the mall. Oscar makes his way to a bus stop and to the mall, where he meets up with Raj and Isaac at the Emporium. They explain that every other store has run out but this one has some left in the back, thus resulting in a large crowd of people waiting to get their hands on the toy. They reach the front of the line only to receive the disappointing announcement that they're sold out. Amongst the angry cries of customers, however, Oscar overhears a discussion between three employees regarding a returned Plushtrap Chaser that looks lifelike. Oscar asks to buy it despite the damaged box but the staff refuses. The crowd gets more angry and Oscar takes the opportunity to snatch the box, paying for it on the way out as he and his friends run away from mall security and escape into private property.
Once home, they unbox the Plushtrap Chaser and notice that it has human-like, slightly yellow teeth and squishy, realistic eyes. Oscar tells his friends about what he heard but they assume that's just how they're supposed to look. They try opening its mouth, breaking a butter knife in the process, and eventually replace the 9-volt battery, flip a switch under its feet, and make the room as dark as possible, but the Plushtrap doesn't turn on. Neither Isaac nor Raj want to take it home, leaving Oscar to keep it. The next day the theft is reported in the news, but Oscar refuses to confess to his mom in order to protect his friends. He spends the rest of the day inside, avoiding Raj's calls and Isaac's knocks at the door. A few days later, Raj and Isaac confront Oscar at their school's cafeteria. Oscar is happy that his friends are understanding of his situation and why he's talking the defective Plushtrap hard, and reveals his plans to take it back. When they arrive at the mall, however, the Emporium has been replaced by Hal's Halloween Hallway, leaving Oscar no choice but to keep the toy.
After purchasing a few costumes, the boys return to Oscar's house to discuss their plan for trick-or-treating since they always run out of time to make it to the other side of the train tracks where the good candy is rumored to be. With their plan set, Raj and Isaac play a fighting game while Oscar fiddles with the Plushtrap Chaser more. He discovers a tiny port on the side of the Plushtrap's jaw when the house phone rings. His mom calls to ask for his help tomorrow, which upsets Oscar as it takes away from trick-or-treating, and he angrily admits to stealing the Plushtrap as a storm cuts the call. Oscar gets a charger from Raj and plugs the Plushtrap in, but when he does lightning strikes, blowing the room's power out and launching Oscar. Raj and Isaac rush to his aid and suggests calling his mother, but Oscar insists he's okay. The boys go to discuss their trick-or-treat route in the living room, with Oscar closing the door to his room. He thinks he hears Raj's voice from the other side of the door, but brushes it off.
Oscar reveals to his friends that he can't join them, and as they try to cheer him up a lightning strike blows the rest of the power out in the neighborhood. Oscar retrieves flashlights for him and Isaac as Raj uses his phone, and they hear something banging against Oscar's door. They watch in horror as the Plushtrap Chaser begins chewing through the wood of the door, sharpening its teeth which gleamed and bleed in the darkness. It kicks open the door and chases them into his mom's room. It's about to attack Isaac when they remember the toy deactivates in light, so Oscar holds his flashlight on the toy, and in the process they discover it can mimic voices. The power runs out quickly and they are chased into the bathroom as Isaac retrieves his lost flashlight. Raj tries to call the police, but the phone lines are down. Oscar holds the flashlight steady so Raj and Isaac can try the landline in the kitchen, but he hears the arguing and learns the phone isn't working in there either. When the return to the bathroom, the three try moving the Plushtrap Chaser but it's stuck to the ground.
Oscar manages to sneak past it right as the flashlight dies. They try using Raj's phone's flashlight, but it slips out of his hands and is destroyed by the Plushtrap. The kids are chased to the garage and as they try to open the garage door, Oscar makes a plan to run to the train tracks hoping for a train. They barely manage to escape the garage and reach a hill before the tracks. They see light and are excited, but the Plushtrap has already caught up. Oscar yells at his friends to jump across the tracks and after some hesitation they do, leaving Oscar to face it alone. He steps onto the tracks and waits for the right moment. With Mr. Devereaux's advice from earlier in his head and the Plushtrap mimicking his mother's voice, Oscar jumps and just barely dodges the train. Once the train is gone, the boys look at the tracks and find the scattered remains of the Plushtrap Chaser, along with bloody teeth and a single intact eyeball.
The next night, Oscar helps hand out candy to the residents at the Royal Oaks Nursing Home while his mother lit candles. He catches up with Mr. Deveraux, telling him that while it didn't go as planned he's glad it happened. Oscar finds his mother in the break room and gives her a bucket full of her favorite chocolate-covered almonds as an apology. The two hug, with her apologizing for depending on him so much. Oscar tells her and himself that everything's okay and lets her hug him for a long while.
Trivia[]
- Oscar's actions in the story somehow have an impact on the epilogues. Because he lured the Plushtrap and got it ran over by the train, it allowed the Stitchwraith to come in and pick up the pieces. This also caused homeless man Grim to see the Stitchwraith and have him get involved in the epilogue's story.
- Oscar mistakenly refers to himself as a twelve-year-old.[1] Despite this comment, he is said to be a high school sophomore and takes sophomore level classes, making his true age between fifteen to sixteen.
- Oscar's last name, Avila, comes from Spanish origin, potentially meaning he could be of Hispanic descent.
