LONG FORGOTTEN WAS LORELAI'S previous embarrassment as she entered the next round on a high from winning as imposter. She had made a plan to tweet about it and remove it from her mind, and, surprisingly, her plan worked wonderfully. What she thought would be difficult proved easy when she started talking to her friends about other things. The power of distractions, she supposed.

The rain had started up again that morning. Their brief calm in the storm was just a fleeting beacon of hope that faded away with the power in certain parts of their town. All houses north of the main road had their power cut off due to a falling power line. The Kjellberg house was luckily on the south side of town, but should their power get cut off too, Lorelai knew she could always ask her friends to explain what happened. It would be easy to explain to the public, but for the sake of the proximity chat stream, Lorelai prayed it wouldn't come to that.

A soft blue glow cast over Lorelai's face as she gazed upon her crewmate screen. Her room was an uncomfortable mix of hot and cold; with her fluffy pants and blanket she quickly got hot only to grow cold from pulling off her blanket and letting the freezing air reach through her cotton pants to her skin. The storm was getting out of hand outside her window.

"Wow, I love being imposter," Lorelai said loudly, coaxing laughter out of her friends.

"Yes, I also love being imposter," Sykkuno chimed in.

Lorelai toggled her character around the spawn as she continued to talk to her friends.

"Wanna go vent in the bathroom with me?" Karl asked.

Lorelai smiled. "Yeah, let's go!"

Lorelai waited for Karl and Sykkuno to finish their keys task before walking into medbay. The three of them moved into the bathroom, little giggles coming from each of them as they filed into the last stall. Karl moved in last, perfecting their three stack over the vent.

Lorelai leaned back in her chair as Karl and Sykkuno's soft chatter filled her ears. They were talking about something random (Christmas maybe?) and Lorelai rolled her wrists to fix their cramp. Instinctively her eyes began to drift over to her stream chat, but before she could look at it she came to her senses and sharply turned her head back to the main monitor.

"Rory? Rory?"

Lorelai leaned forward and put her hands on her keyboard again. "Yes?"

"Whatcha doin?" Karl asked.

"Stretching my wrists out," she replied.

"Did all that murdering you did last round make them hurt?" Sykkuno accused.

Lorelai smiled and shook her head slightly. "Yep. Stabbing people makes them cramp up, y'know."

"Wait, does it really?"

"Karl, let's see," Sykkuno said before pressing kill on Lorelai's body.

The girl slapped a hand to her mouth and watched her body fall. Karl and Sykkuno vented out of the bathroom, leaving Lorelai's little body on top of the vent. Wheezes left her mouth at her friend's saltiness. She hadn't even been the one that killed him yet he was being salty about it.

Lorelai leaned back in her chair once more, this time stretching out her back instead of her wrists. Edgar grunted in disapproval before letting out a congested snort and going back to sleep. The Danish girl calmed her laughter and scratched between the pug's ears.

Being a ghost was pretty calming. Sure, she needed to do all of her tasks, but she got to float around and watch her friends die. What could be more relaxing than that?

As expected, Lorelai had a relaxing rest of the round. At one point she left briefly to make herself a glass of chocolate milk, but other than that she just curled up in her seat with Edgar and talked to her chat. Apparently everyone liked hearing the rain on her stream; it made her viewers feel calmer and relaxed, which was something that made Lorelai's heart swell with joy to read.

The round ended with Karl getting voted out and the crewmates winning. It certainly wasn't as eventful as their first round, but everyone spoke loudly about the imposters' loss when they respawned into the lobby.

Rounds came and passed like seasons, and by the time they finished their final game, everyone had enough content for what felt like thousands of videos. Lorelai could practically feel the exhaustion already as she thought of all the hours she would have to spend editing.

"Have a good night, guys," Dream said, his voice getting cut off in the end as he disconnected from the game.

That left Corpse and Lorelai all alone in the drop ship, the 'start' button on Lorelai's screen grey.

"Corpse, hear me out, what if we play a round with randoms?" Lorelai suggested. "Just one thought cause I'm tired."

"With proximity still on?" He asked.

"Nah, we should switch to a Discord call." She said, "but we should troll people for a round!"

Corpse hummed roughly before saying, "sounds good. I'll join a game and send you the code."

Lorelai smiled, "wonderful."

The two of them left the game, and Lorelai called up Corpse on Discord. Neither of them spoke as the latter sent the code in their private chat. Lorelai entered the game and looked at all of the foreign and strange names.

"This is weird," she said. "None of them can hear us and they're not people we know."

"I know," Corpse replied, "it's strange."

The red alert popped up on the chat button and Lorelai clicked on it immediately.

Jeb Bush
corpse is it rlly you from youtube

CORPSE
is it really jeb bush, governor of florida?

"Wait, Jeb Bush is the governor of Florida?" Lorelai asked. "Do you just know all of your state governors in the US or something?"

"Nope," Corpse replied. "I only know some."

lorelai
omg corpse is that rlly you

"Oh," Corpse laughed. "Are you gonna be my fangirl?"

lorelai
omg corpse hi

Lorelai moved her avatar towards Corpse's and toggled back and forth in front of him.

lorelai
corpse notice me uwu

"If you're gonna simp, put on the fucking cat ears," Corpse demanded.

Lorelai giggled and moved to the computer, putting on the cat ears. She walked back up to Corpse and toggled in front of him again. This time he mirrored the action and danced in front of her. The countdown popped up on their screens, and they were thrown into a black screen.

Deafening laughter came from both of them as the imposter screen appeared on both of their screens.

"We're like Mr. and Mrs. Smith!" Lorelai wheezed, toggling in front of Corpse as they spawned into the dropship.

"How do you wanna do this?" Corpse asked.

Lorelai briefly thought it over. "It's up to you. We can stick together if you'd like."

"I would love that," he answered.

She knew she shouldn't have, but something in her heart started to tingle.

The two of them headed to admin first, swiftly double killing and venting out. They faked a few tasks with orange for a bit before ultimately leaving them and looking for another pair to double kill.

As expected, the pair won, and rather impressively at that. They hadn't even gotten a meeting in before the imposters emerged victorious. Who knew that Corpse and Lorelai would be such a deadly duo when it came to Among Us?

Eventually they ended their call and their streams, the two of them both letting out sighs of relief once they had finished. On two different sides of the world, two young adults sat in their gaming chairs and thought about one another. They thought about whether or not they were thinking of them too. But ultimately they thought about how much fun they had had together, and wondered why they had clicked as friends so fast.

Lorelai shoved those thoughts to the back of her head. A problem for another day.

CLIP FROM LORELAI !
"rip"

"Hey, Mr. Beast!" Lorelai exclaimed, moving her character up next to his as he stood on card swipe.

"Hi, Lorelai," he replied. He pressed kill and Lorelai's body fell to the ground. "Bye, Lorelai."

CLIP FROM LORELAI !
"the epic dmca strike chase"

"It's the cir-"

"STOP!" Lorelai screeched, running away from Felix as he chased her singing copyrighted songs. "Please! Felix the DMCA will have my ass!"

"And it mo-"

Lorelai continued running from Felix, little bits of the song occasionally being heard on her stream to which Lorelai would just scream to cover it up. The other Twitch screamers ran from Felix whenever he got close to them, but the YouTube streamers simply laughed at Lorelai's misery whenever she passed by them.

"Felix! Stop! I'll call Marzia and cry!"
