The Admins play Among Us!
On a rather uneventful day at Cosmo Corporations, at least not anything breathtaking to the employees, admins, and the boss, OZone dismisses everyone for the day, wrapping up some papers and filing that he took care of himself. The lower-level workers had plans of their own for a fun way to spend their Friday night and their weekend with such activities as dinner, a night out for a movie, and especially a trip out to the bar. Although... some specific individuals in the entire staff have their own ideas of a good time.
"Sooooooo... guys! Are we still... gonna do the thing once we get to the computor room down on the 3rd floor??"
Molly walked backward in front of her best friends Daichi and Rōzu, speaking at a minimum volume as if the three were on some sort of undercover mission. Although there was no need to ask, both of the boys nod with an anticipating grin, their eyes gleamed a sparkle heading towards the room full of computers.
"Heck yeah. I've been waiting all day for this."
Daichi clenched his hands together, rubbing them together like some menacing villain, while Rōzu on the side chuckles to his silliness. They were looking forward to playing a game, one that's been very popular as of late called Among Us. Molly took out the key to the computor room and unlocks the door, quickly sitting down at a desk and logging into her account. The game loads up, the boys join the lobby set up by Molly, as they ran around the little pod room inside after it finished loading.
"There we go! That's what I'm talking about! Has anyone joined yet?"
Rōzu asked, but once he's been placed inside the lobby, the three of them were the only players.
"Not yet, but there should be in a second!"
Molly answered, running around the mini lobby room before getting its fourth and fifth members inside. After two minutes passing for just a few more players, Molly ended up getting a voice chat request from Belle's email account which did confuse her.
Daichi: "Who's that?"
Molly: "It's... Belle? How does she know I'm on the computor?"
Rōzu: "Belles on? Perhaps she called you by mistake or something...-WAIT! Wait-I think-"
Molly accepts the call as the computor from both locations connect, the first thing to see from Belles camera is the woman holding her laughter. Molly tilts her head, not sure of what's causing her to hold her uncontrollable urge to giggle.
"Molly! Pfft! It's you! What were the odds! I can't believe it!"
That's when she lost control and began to laugh, leaving behind three confused teenagers.
Molly: "Umm... Why are you laughing so-"
Belle: "You guys are playing Among Us too?? I just logged on to play from home!"
Now that last part certainly caught the kid's direction, soon enough, the four connected through the computers, the fifth shortly connected with the gang.
"Hey."
Cypher waved his hang before putting it down. Belle smiled to know that Cypher put up his webcam on, but to the three, it was a major surprise to see him on since he wasn't much of a gamer, a peoples-person, or someone who doesn't like to argue.
Rōzu: "Oh, hey, Cypher. I didn't think you were the 5th player, talk about a small world."
Cypher: "I'm not usually, Belle let me borrow her laptop and asked me to join with you guys. The only reason why I agreed is to clear my head, is mostly all."
Molly and Daichi: "Clear your head? Of what?"
Cypher: "*Sighs* Because of Ducklett. It's been really odd lately, but I think the featherhead has been talking to me as of late. It keeps calling me these weird names in such a stupid and quirky impression. It keeps asking me if I can get him some pie because he keeps telling me, "I like pie!"
Rōzu: "... Ducklett can't talk though..."
Cypher: "... It's bullshit, I know, coming from me of all people."
The man groans out of frustration, but Molly tries to calm him down by letting him know that Among Us is the perfect game to get away from all your problems, both intentionally and unintentionally! Shifting their attention to the opened door, the foresting loving girl Serenity and the shy wanderer Mitsuki walked into the computor to see what was all the commotion, which Molly also informs the ladies of their game.
Molly: We're gonna play a game called, Among Us! It's like this mystery murder game, but it's not to be taken seriously! We have just about everyone here! The boys, Belle, and even Cypher's on! Do you guys wanna play?"
Mitsuki: "A... A murder mystery?"
Serenity: "Oh, goodness. It's been so long since I played Clue, ever since I was a little girl. I'll happily join in the game. Come on Mitsuki, please stay at least for one game!"
Mitsuki looks down in a little bit of a shy stance, but she agreed to at least try something new, so connected to both the game and the callers they were on. Aside from that, two more people entered the lobby, and just so happen to be both Buzz and Tony from their places. Well, Buzz was, Tony was out at the bar playing the app on his phone.
Buzz: "Greetings everyone!"
Molly: "Oh, hi Buzz! Everyone really is here-"
Cypher: "Hey, Buzz."
Tony: "Heeeeeeey-every-body! -------- Ahh! Looks likes the --- ladies-- are here too! Niiii ---- ii -- ce!"
Serenity: "Why hello, Buzz. Hello, Tony. You both get my text messages. I sent one to Arc to see if he wanted to-"
Molly, Daichi, Rōzu: "NO!"
Daichi: Not Arc! No! He's simply going to tell us to get off the computers because they are, "for work purposes, only!"
Rōzu: "No offense, but Daichi's right, he's not gonna believe us when we tell him that OZone permitted us to use the computers.
Tony: "Wait, what ---- did he ---- sa ---y?"
Speaking of the very devil, Arc enters a voice chat with everyone one else, and he didn't look too happy to see them. The teenagers groan as Mitsuki tried to calm him down before he went off and blew a fuse.
Arc: "Just what do you think you brats are up to this time?"
Serenity: "Oh! Arc! You did get my text! We were about to begin-"
Arc: "One second, Serenity. As for you three. I know you haven't read the employee handbook-"
Daichi: "Arc, stop, please. We had permission to use the computers to-"
Arc: "Don't interrupt me! You know you're supposed to use the computers during work hours for research and things the boss will find beneficial!"
Daichi groans in frustration but Serenity waits for everyone to settle down.
"Arc, please..."
Mitsuki tries to reason with him, but that alone wouldn't get the message across, so it was older sister Serenity on the job.
Serenity: "Oh, Arc. OZone did give us all the permission for the use of the computor room."
Arc: "Is that so? What could be so important for all of you to discuss all together without me?"
Serenity: "A game, silly Swanna!"
Arc: "A game? Are you serious Serenity?"
Serenity: "Nope! He even wants you to join!"
Everyone but the girl: "What??"
Serenity: "Mhmm! Mr. OZone even said to me that he would like you to play as well! Perhaps he could even think past your little issue he had with you."
Arc: "..."
This seemed all too good to be true as if Serenity set this all up by herself, but Arc was seizing any chance of patching up his past with OZone he could, so he decided to join the game, and in the lobby, he joined last.
Arc: "What the hell are these astronauts supposed to be??"
Molly: "Crew-members!"
Arc: "Oh god. This is retarded-"
Rōzu: "Shut up! Let's just start our first game already!"
Now that each admin of Cosmo Corporations is competing in Among Us, the rules were set on the stage of Skeld. The first game began.
Shhhh!
Crewmate
There are two imposters among us.
Starting in the cafeteria, almost everyone already split up, Daichi, Rozu, and Molly's crewmate remained in a group as they went on over to the west, while Belle, Tony, Cypher headed down South to the storage room, while leaving Serenity, Mitsuki, and Buzz heading for the East side of the ship. Arc just stood around all by himself, just very uninterested in the game. He didn't like how the crew members had no arms or hands, so he didn't take the game seriously.
Arc: "So how does this stupid game work?"
Molly: "Okay, so we all have been tasks to make sure the Skeld is functioning properly, we go around to make sure we fix or handle anything that needs immediate attention."
Belle: "Your objective is to survive. Depending on the game, there will be an imposter, two, or three to kill all the crewmates to win. All the non-imposters must keep the ship working and to kick the imposters out to win, but if they all die, the imposters win."
Arc: "So there's killing in this game? Huh, I was thinking this is just some stupid learning game."
Arc decided to follow the Eastern wing of the Skeld to help out with some tasks that need to be done. Buzz and Mitsuki headed the southeast to separately handle the O2 and the navigation room, while Mitsuki stayed in the weapons room. Arc decided to Upload data onto the crew member's tablet in the game, waiting for a second to complete the loading within the game.
Arc: "... And you guys play this for actual fun? I really don't understand your method of amusement..."
Daichi: "Well, that's because the data is loading, just give it a sec and-"
Arc: "No. Stop, just stop. Where do I go from here?"
Passing through, Arc makes his way through to the Shield room, where he needed to prime the shields from asteroids, he didn't understand how the task to set up shields that well, so he was kinda stuck fiddling at the mini-game before he was ended up dying.
"What the fuck?! What happened??"
His character was now a ghost as the imposter of the game slipped away before Arc could get a good look at him or her. He was cut off from the other players, which did make sense until Serenity entered the Shield room herself to originally pass by to the Communications room.
Serenity: "Oh dear, Arceus-"
Dead body reported
Discuss!
Cypher: "So Arc died first huh? You know, I kind of expected that, to be honest..."
Rōzu: "Where was the body found?"
Serenity: "Okay, so I found him in the Shield room."
Buzz: "It wasn't me. I was in the O2 room cleaning the O2 filter!"
Mitsuki: "I was... in the navigation room charting the course of the map..."
Belle: "Was anyone else with you guys, I was in the admin room trying to swipe the damn card. Too fast, try again. Too slow, try again."
Serenity: "Let's see, it was just me, Buzz, Mitsuki, and Arc... But it couldn't be Buzz since he was in the O2 Room-"
Buzz: "Yeah, yeah! Exactly! It couldn't be me!"
Molly: "Wait, wait, wait. Mitsuki. You said were navigating, weren't you? So that means you were in the navigation room."
Mitsuki: "Yes. That's correct."
Daichi: "Ohh... I see what you're trying to say, Molly. What were doing before going into the navigation room, Mitsuki?"
Mitsuki: "Oh, umm... I was in the weapons room. Blasting the asteroids away so they wouldn't hit the ship."
Cypher: "Couldn't be Mitsuki, the weapons room and the shield room is a walk-in between each other, so I think it had to be Buzz or Serenity."
Tony: "Wait ----- could --n't ---- imposters like use vents -------- to get around faster?"
Rōzu: "Yes! Exactly!"
Mitsuki: "Ahh-wait! You are mistaken!..."
Buzz: "Hey, hey! Guys! Calm down! Mitsuki's new to the game, the innocent girl shouldn't be exposed to the heated debates early in this game, so let's cool it down for now and skip the vote for now."
Molly: "Err... I don't know..."
Rōzu: "Actually, I can live it."
Daichi: "If it was anyone else, I'd disagree, but I'm good with that idea if it's Arc. He hates our guts anyway."
Everyone voted to skip the vote for the lack of proof provided to really kick anyone out.
No one was ejected (Skipped)
Back into the cafeteria, everyone split up to the three hallways to finish any needed tasks. This time, some different crewmates were going through the ship.
Molly, Daichi, Rōzu, and Buzz into the West entrance. Cypher, Serenity, and Mitsuki into the South entrance. Tony ended up going to the East entrance by himself. Into the storage area of the Skeld, Serenity traveled into the electrical room, while Mitsuki walked into the communications room, while Cypher when to go check the East wing in case if anything needed a second check after the first meeting.
"That's it, they missed the wire fixing? Come on, guys-"
Suddenly, the sound of an alarm went off. This could only mean one thing in the game... Sabotage!
"Crap! I got it guys, I'll go fix it! Go back to what you were doing!"
Rushing over to where the game pointed the location of the communication room, Cypher was working on the task to restore the communication, but that's when... It was all lights out for him..."
"I-I got killed??"
To his own disgust, he had no choice but to continue his tasks even when he died, just like Arc, and... Someone else who had just joined the dead rave.
"Holy ------- sh ----- it!"
Tony made his way down from the East wing to the South, to where he had found Cypher's crewmates dead body on the ground, this alls for a:
Dead Body reported
Discuss!
Tony: "Guys! Guys --------GUYS!! I found ----- a dead body in ----- the communications -- room!"
Daichi: "Yeah, no shit. We know they're dead when you report the body in the first place! But... In the communications room, is it?"
Tony: "Yeah ---- I saw him for a second, he told us to stay put when the alarm was going off."
Belle: "Mollys dead too, I just noticed it a second ago, but Tony beat me to the report. Look's like both imposters were on the scene..."
Mitsuki: "What were you all doing?"
Rōzu: "I was fixing the wires in the security room."
Daichi: "So I was in the Lower engine room, refueling. Buzz, Serenity?"
Buzz: "... I was in the upper engine room, aligning engine output!"
Serenity: "I was in the electricity room, just fixing the wiring."
Mitsuki: "... I don't believe you, Serenity."
Serenity: "Me? What would ever make you doubt me?..."
Daichi: "Wait. You were in the electric room? That's... Where Molly said she was going when we last saw her..."
Serenity: "G-guys- I didn't do it!"
Rōzu: "Yeah, because we totally haven't heard that one before."
Buzz: "If you aren't the imposter, then why didn't you alarm us of Molly's crew member?"
Serenity: "Because-Ack! S-stop! I don't even think Molly's body was even in the electric room! I think it as in the Medbay room-ACK!"
Mitsuki: "Imposter!"
Rōzu: "Yeah, she's totally the imposter."
And so, everyone voted for Serenity, and before she knew it, she was released from the Skeld.
Serenity was not The Imposter
Two imposters remaining...
Six crew members remain, each character ended up going their separate ways to cover more tasks spread out through the ship. Daichi and Buzz went through the west, Mitsuki and Rōzu traveled down south, and Belle traveled through with Tony into the east.
Passing the medbay room and the upper engine room, they both headed into the reactor room. Daichi was in for a major surprise...
"Okay, do you want to start the reactor or do you want to unlock the manifolds-"
Daichi asked just in case if Buzz just so happen to have preferences on the job, but he didn't, so he let Daichi choose what he wanted to do, so the boy decided to start the reactor, but that's when he jumped at his chance and snapped the poor kid's neck.
"Buzz was the imposter all this time?? Arceus, damn it!"
The sneaky man ran towards the front, sabotaging the reactor, causing the alarm to go off.
Belle: "Hey! Somethings up with the reactor!"
Mitsuki: "Ooooooh... You don't think-"
Rōzu: "Shit! Someone sabotaged it! We have to shut it down!"
The three crewmates who were closest hurried to stabilize the reactor before it was too late, but they were met with a horrible surprise.
"Aww, shit. They got Daichi. But I think I know who it was this time."
Dead body reported
Discuss!
Tony: "Hey guys, did ------ you find out-"
Rōzu: "It was Buzz. Totally Buzz."
Buzz: "What?! Me?? There must be some sort of mistake!"
Belle: "Well, not likely, since you and Daichi were the only ones heading towards the engines and the reactors... so..."
Mitsuki: "..."
Tony: "Sounds about right, Sorry Buzz ---- The jig is up."
Buzz was The Impostor.
One imposter remaining...
The last four characters on the field remain, Rōzu was in the electric room, Belle was in the weapons room, Tony was emptying the garbage, and Mitsuki just came out of the admin room and slips by the cafeteria to the East wing right where the weapons room was. Shortly after a minute later, Belle was out of the game...
It wasn't until Tony traveled upward the East wing to get to the cafeteria when he spotted the dead body of Belle and tries to report the dead body before the imposter could strike back, but the big issue about that was... the kill cool time already passed by, which meant Mitsuki could go killing again. One more stabby stab later, The Imposters takes the win!
Rōzu: "Wait, wait! wait! Mitsuki?? You were the imposter all this time??"
Mitsuki: "... Mhmm..."
Serenity: Oh my Arceus... You really never expect the silent ones..."
Tony: "Daaaaaaaaaayum, baby! You're really hard to get, were you??"
Molly: "Great job Mitsuki! Not bad for a first-timer!"
Buzz: "Way to go! I couldn't win without you!"
Mitsuki: "Ummm... Umm... Thank you..."
Arc: "You guys are all BASTARDS!!"
Daichi: "I'm... Gonna stay out of this one-"
Arc: "No, no, no! You little brats decided not to debate whoever killed me just because you don't like me??"
Serenity: "Arc! Arc! Please calm down! We're just about to start our next match!"
Arc: " ... ... ... Fine..."
Shhh!
Crewmate
There are two imposters among us.
Literally three minutes later...
"ARCEUS DAMMIT!!!"
The split second of the sound of a breaking keyboard was all anyone could hear on the mic right it was cut off. The only one who found it humorous was Serenity since she was the one to calm the man down.
"Oh dear me... Him being the first one to go already..."
That's when Molly, Daichi, and Rōzu found his dead body on the ground this time. but they walked right past it.
Molly: "We're totally digging our own graves once we return to work, are we?"
Rōzu: "If Arc takes a video game seriously, then yes. We're good as fucked."
Daichi nods, going upwards into the electrical room, although unfortunately for him... He didn't come back out...
Emergency Meeting!
Discuss!
Rōzu: "Aye! Someone killed my boy, Daichi, and I want to know WHO was the last person to be in the electrical room??"
Mitsuki: "Umm... I was..."
Belle: "Sus."
Molly: "Sus."
Mitsuki: "What?! Why-I just came to fix the wiring in the room is all!"
Tony: "Well... ------- No offense, but it's easy to take lives out of that room... sooooooo--"
Mitsuki: "Guys... You aren't taking their accusing seriously, are you..? Guys... Guys..."
Mitsuki was not The Imposter
Two imposters remain...
Rōzu: "Doo doo doo, just me all alone in the navigation room, tralala-"
Molly: "Wait, are you really alone, Rōzu?"
Rōzu: "Yes."
Molly: "Well... At least you have me right? Right??..."
Cypher: "Yeah... That doesn't sound good."
Molly: "That's because he's not making any sound! Rōzu!!!
Molly was asking from the shield room, so she ran all the way to the navigation room to check up on Rōzu, but he ended up kicking the bucket too.
"Aaaaaaaaaaaaaah!"
Dead body reported
Discuss!
Molly: "Rōzus dead, Rōzu dead! Who would be low enough to harm my friends??"
Belle: Hmm... Perhaps it could be Buzz... He and Mitsuki were responsible for taking Daichi's life..."
Buzz: "... Absolutely not! That was from the last game!"
Serenity: "Actually no. I think I agree with Belle. You were with Rōzu just across in the O2 room, just like the last game..."
Molly: "Wait... ... ... You were??"
Tony: "I don't know ----- that kind of sounds ------ sus to me..."
Buzz: "No! That's a ridiculous assumption! I won't even stand for it! I'm just going to skip the vote and get back to work-"
Buzz was not The Imposter
Two imposters remain...
Walking down alone in the hallways of the ship totally freaked out Molly. Passing the electrical room, in particular, gave her that uneasy feeling to know that that was the last place to see Daichi. She stood close to the garbage pod to empty the waste.
"Poor boys... Don't worry, guys! I'll make sure to survive for both of you!"
She finished her task and went to go to the communications room, but she was stabbed to death by the real imposter.
"Don't worry, Molly. You did very well... But that's where your time is up!"
Her crewmember died, as the imposter giggled in a playful tune. This leaves four characters left.
"..."
Cypher was doing his own thing, kinda zoned out when he was just thinking about the things his Ducklett had "said" pie.
"... No pie. No pie. No pie. My name is Cypher, not... ... ... ... ... Sugar Booger."
He left the cafeteria to the South wing to the storage area, passing by Belle, even acknowledging her when he did.
"Oh, hey Belle."
She didn't reply, instead, she stabbed him right on the back and laughed her ass off when the screen read the Imposters won once again.
"OH MY ARCEUS! Hahahahaha! You should see the look on your face Cypher!! HAhaahahahahaha!"
Cypher didn't have much of a reaction after that, but he certainly wasn't happy about being humiliated like that. But the person to be pissed most of all was Arc, who's hands were red and rugged from the keyboard buttons all over his floor. At first, the kids laughed, which only made him even more pissed off. Then the ladies Serenity and Belle had a good laugh, Mitsuki giggled. Then the guy's Buzz and Tony laughed, but Cypher just smiled at everyone having a good time, which also calmed down Arc. It was pretty late in the office, so the teenagers and the two ladies ended up logging off of the computers, locking the door to the room shortly after.
The five ended up going out for a quick bite of cheeseburgers, sharing each other's favorite moments in their intense game of Among Us.
