ROUND_1

-CREWMATE-

"Shh! I think I hear someone!" Pink, my best friend, whisper-shouted. Pink and I were doing tasks in admin.

I heard a vent open and shut. The doors closed.

"White- if anything happens to me or you, I just want you to know-" but before pink could finish, she was killed. By Black. I stood there, speechless. My best friend had just been killed. I remembered that the Impostor had only 25 seconds before it could strike next.

As if on cue, the admin doors swooshed open. I scurried out and ran to the Cafe, smashing the red Emergency Meeting button.

Players rushed in, some with fresh beads of sweat dripping down their worried, panic-stricken faces.

"Where?" Red demanded, slamming his fist on the table, startling Yellow. Ah, Red; he was always the scapegoat in this cruel game. I wasn't sus of him, but I'm sure someone was.

"A-Admin. Black slipped through the vent unnoticed and killed Pink. I ran in here as fast as possible to call an-" I started.

"I was NOT! I was in Electric, fixing wires!" Black protested; her face expressed uncertainty.

"Proof?" Orange asked, his poker fave revealing nothing. A little sus...

"I was in there! W-with Pink!" I felt the presence of a ghost. I looked behind me. Nothing. But I knew Pink was there. Pink and I-we were like family. We'd been through so many rounds, never getting killed. Now I had no one.

"Okay, all say 'I' if you're voting Black," Red said with a glint in his eye. I squinted. Was he... crying? Black was staring at Red, a look of horror-no, not horror. Something else. Betrayal.

Then I realized- Black and Red were in love, and I think that Red knew Black was the Impostor.

I felt good knowing it, but then again sad their love story was ending on such a harsh note.

"White? Are you voting Black?" Lime said, pulling me out of my thoughts.

"Oh. Yes. I-I'm voting Black," I stuttered. I watched as the crying Red and Black hugged and said, "I love you."

Then Black was ejected, becoming a ghost just as Pink had.

ROUND_2

-CREWMATE-

"Orange, Lime. I'm going with you two," I declared in the Cafe.

"O-ok. You sure?" Lime had a look of uncertainty on his face. She looked at Orange, who glared at her. Lime quickly looked away. I could've sworn I heard her mutter, "Sorry."

"I think we'll just go on our own," Orange declared; he had that sense of leadership. I respected his choice. Either he was planning to kill Lime alone or he suspected that I was the Impostor.

Orange and Lime headed off to Navigation, leaving me alone.

I decided to go task in MedBay.

Walking in the entrance, I saw Brown and Green. Green was on top of the vent. Uh oh, I thought.

"Brown, I loved you. I was going to spare you. You just got too curious. I couldn't let you know that I was the Impostor."

"But I-"

"No. You betrayed me. If you knew I was Impostor, you would never love me."

"I do love you, Green!"

"Lies," Green shook his head. "All lies."

"Green! No!" Brown pleaded, but it was too late. Brown was dead. I ran over to Brown and reported, thinking, How am I not dead? I should have been dead a long time ago.

We were all teleported to the Cafe.

"Okay," said Orange. "White. You're getting a little sus. You've already reported twice."

"Because I've seen two people get killed!" I defended. Orange rolled his eyes. The nerve! "Green. H-he killed Brown. In MedBay. I was going to go scan, but when I walked in, Green and Brown were fighting, a-and Green killed Brown."

"Proof?!" yelled Green, a threatening look on his face.

"Bro!" I yelled with equal volume. "I was there, you idiot!"

"Hmph."

"Voting Green, say I," Red declared. Everyone except Green said, "I."

And as another round passed, Green was ejected.

_ROUND_3

-IMPOSTOR-

I knew I was Impostor, but I was not going to kill anyone. Orange and Lime let me go with them, despite any rising suspicions.

"Okay. Lime, you go to Security and check the cams. White and I will be in Reactor," Orange said. It didn't really seem like a question, but more a demand. I went along, not knowing who was the other Impostor. I had to be careful not to accidentally kill the other Impostor.

When we were safe inside Reactor, with no one else around, we tasked and shed a few tears for Pink. I couldn't hold my thoughts back any longer, no matter how much I didn't want to say them.

"Okay," I started. "I'm going to have to get a kill on Lime-"

"What?! You're the Impostor? I shouldn't have trusted you."

"No! It's not like that. I promise I'd never kill you."

"I-we-" Orange started sobbing.

"What? Is she your best friend? I understand. We're always getting our best friends killed." Pink's gone. That isn't funny. Do not laugh. "Your girlfriend?"

"No-my... my sister," Orange explained. "That's why I've been so protective of her. I didn't want her dead. You-you can't kill her. You just can't."

"Oh. Sorry. I didn't know," I apologized. "Should we tell her?"

"We're going to have to," Orange said, glittery tears running down his rosy cheeks.

"O-ok."

As Orange and I walked across the hall to Security, Lime was there, innocently checking the cams.

"Lime, I-I have a confession," I said, breaking the silence.

"What?" she asked, batting her eyes.

"I'm the Impostor. Along with someone else. I'm not going to kill you."

"Oh. I needed to know that," she said, a sly grin forming on her not-so-innocent face.

"Wait. Why?" Orange asked.

"Because I'm the other Impostor. And I'm going to kill you," she replied.

"Wha-what? No! Lime, sister! You can't Nooooo!" just like all of the other victims, Orange didn't have a chance to finish.

"Sorry it had to end like that, brother," she hissed.

Just then Yellow walked in.

"I- ORANGE!" I worriedly glanced at Lime. Kill her, Lime's face said. So I did.

_ROUND_4

I floated around a ghost, looking for Pink, my best friend. I had just gotten ejected; Lime threw me under the bus and blamed me.

Anyway, Pink was like family to me; we had been through deathless rounds together, telling inside jokes and sharing secret stashes of freeze-dried ice cream from Storage. I roamed around the Skeld, passing by dead Yellow and Purple reporting her death, not really caring about them anymore. I needed to Find Pink.

I was relieved when I finally found Pink floating around In Navigation.

"P-Pink? Is that you?" I stuttered. She turned around, revealing a crying face.

"White? White!" she yelled, scurrying over to me and squeezing my ghost guts.

"I missed you, fam," I told her, invisible tears streaming down my invisible self.

"Me, too," she sobbed. "Me... too."

She was like family. Pink was family.
