Two Impostors Remain

Summary:

Rey and her friends go through another game of Among Us, figuring out who to trust and who the impostors are. All good fun in the chatbox.

Notes:

For B.

My first fic in over a decade 👉🏻👈🏻 A short little something I wrote after my friend asked if I wanted to write an Among Us AU (which I have been trying to get around to) but did this for fun before that since we've been playing the game a lot the past week. Hope you enjoy?

(See the end of the work for more notes.)

Work Text:

Saturday Game Night with Rey and her friends have migrated online which took some getting used to from their usual board games.

 

A break from Poe's Jackbox Party Packs came in the form of a 2 year old game that started popping up on their Youtube feeds and Twitter. This was their second Saturday playing Among Us despite Ben's aversion to phone games (no one told him it was also on PC).

 

10 Crewmates, 2 of whom were Impostors.

The only ones left aboard the ship were 2 crewmates and 2 Impostors. It could have been anyone at that point. They stuck together heading towards the reactors for a task but when a sabotage alarm goes off alerting that the oxygen levels were depleting, VaderSpawn sprinted ahead followed by FlyB0Y. FN2187 and Scavenger found themselves locked inside storage the moment they entered. Alarms continued to blare, the trapped duo ran in circles while they waited for the doors to open. A few seconds later, the screen fades to black.

VICTORY

VaderSpawn, Scavenger

Notes:

ps. just assume that Rey and Ben were in the same room during the whole thing and strategized IRL.
And oops maybe the title was a spoiler.
