Chapter Text
It was raining hardly today, dark clouds and loud raindrops around the city, classes are announced as suspended. The coldness made you tremble for a while.
You sat near on the fireplace to warm your body. You can't stand a cold weather, especially if you got wet during a rain you immediately get sick after being exposed for too long to coldness.
Your parents were out of town due to some work issues, so you were left alone the apartment where you lived. Clutching your thick blanket as you opened your phone to see the notification of your newly installed game app completed.
Among Us is installed successfully!
You clicked on it, excited to try it for the first time. Many people around you are obsessed on playing it, saying it was fun and a time-eating game. And you, being obsessed on playing several online games, curiously tried to search for it and decided to give it a try a while ago. The game started to run, making you pick whether Local or Online. You clicked on Online and joined the Public where the rooms are. Since you were expert on playing this kind of games you already knew how to play it without seeing the tutorial.
You input your name as no name.
It's really a fun game, it is enough to kill time for a while. You played many times, only to always end as the Crewmate.
This game enables to improve your thinking and deducting skills on finding who the Impostor is. Time passed by, you were on your last try of this game. You are getting bored of the room you used to played so you decided to leave it and choose another one from the server.
Almost all of the rooms was full or, the game has just started so you cannot enter. For a few minutes of finding a room, you decided to stop playing but before you can even exit the app, a room name grabbed your attention.
Cats only was the name of the room. The room is currently at 4/9.
Instead of exiting the app, you entered on it. You were greeted by the players in the room which was new to you.
Tangerine: Hi, no name-chan!
Captain: Hope you stay no name :<
tallestplayer: Don't kill me pls.
tallestplayer: Just kill them instead, not meeeee.
You laughed at their chats. This is the first time that someone approach you in a game. You concluded that they're all friends because of their chats.
no name: Hi to all of you too! :)
You replied.
The room is started to getting crowded. One by one the other players join then it started.
And for the first time after those several games you played, you became the Impostor.
This room is luck then.
Since you were 9, the settings was set as 2 impostors. You were with kitten.
The game started smoothly, you wandering everywhere, pretending to be doing the tasks. A few minutes passed, and you decided to kill someone. So you tried to tail someone without being suspicious.
You already passed by the communication when you started to notice the player you were tailing was running away from you. Maybe realized that you may be an Impostor. So you decided to kill it, luckily there's a vent near so you immediately vented.
You vented from communication to admin where no one was. The game continued until someone reported a body. The voting starts, and the players started to discuss on who to vote or who their sus is. (*sus — person who you suspect.)
You decided to stay silent throughout the voting. Luckily, no one suspected you. The voting ends with tallestguy being ejected. The game passed by, you already killed 2 players and the last kill was from the other impostor who didn't even chat through the voting.
In the end, We Impostors won.
The other players started to chat with each other, about why didn't they suspect us and any other arguments.
You just laughed it out.
tallestguy: You're all mean, you voted me out :(
Tangerine: It's because you're a sus!
Captain: Kitten, why would you kill me :(((
Tangerine: U too, no name! I thought you're innocent, my whole life is a lie!
You replied.
no name: Hehehe. It was my task tho.
kitten: Right.
Captain: Kitten!
kitten: What?
Captain: Nothing :)
It was the first time that player kitten chatted. You threw a glance at the time, 11:15 pm. Two hours has already passed since you played Among Us.
And it's also past your bedtime.
You remembered what your parents told you before leaving, "Don't stay up all night playing if you have classes after." They also warned you that they will call every night and make sure to answer their calls if you were awake.
Well, you can just ignore their calls and pretend that you're asleep. But then they'll immediately know if you're staying up. The last time you lied about sleeping early, they confiscated your game console.
That's the reason why you're suddenly into online games. You cannot play in your game console, and you cannot even buy your own since your card was on-hold. Your parents did it because you kept on buying game related things such as posters, buying an app, mostly game consoles.
But we don't have classes tomorrow, then it will be okay to stay up?
Your thoughts was interrupted by the sound of your phone. "Shh! There is 2 impostors among us" was etched on the phone's screen.
The game started.
And you being Impostor again.
But not only you, also kitten.
I guess we got the same roles again. I hope it will not backfire to us since we'll look suspicious. You decided to do your technique last time. Following someone but this time it's Tangerine you'll follow.
"I can just kill him, if we reach the end corner." You whispered to yourself.
While following Tangerine you noticed kitten on the other side. You and Tangerine passed by the navigation, when kitten vented near you and killed Tangerine.
That was bold.
You immediately followed kitten to avoid being suspicious. That's when the double killing episode begins.
And of course, Impostors won again.
Tangerine: That was mean, no name-chan! U too, Kenma!
tallestguy: It's unfair!
Captain: Never knew you would find a partner, Kitten.
kitten: :)
no name: I didn't even do anything!
kitten: Hey, no name.
Your heart stopped beating for a while. Can't think of anything to reply, you decided to go to a normal answer.
no name: Uhmm, yes?
kitten: Can i play with you again?
Captain: Hey! That's unfair, not only you. We are here. We want to play with you again.
tallestguy: Hehehehe.
Tangerine: Right! Can we play with you again, no-name chan?
You blushed at their chats and replied:
no name: Ofcourse! :)
And that night was your best gameplay ever.
