"Then should we still play or wait for the others tomorrow?" Grace asked.
"Of course we will play! We will play and master the game today. When the other girls arrive tomorrow, it will be fun to see their reaction," Elena replied.
"You... Elena," the girls laughed at the little thought of Elena.
They improve in their duties during the next rounds. Grace, who had previously been worried about being the Impostor, now enjoyed the challenge. Her first Impostor game was a combination of excitement and strategy.
Grace sabotaged O2, separating the gang into different areas of the ship. She followed Nia to Admin, pretending to fix the wiring and waiting for the right opportunity. Grace struck while Nia was working on the O2 panel, quickly eliminating her and venting to MedBay.
"Where was everyone?" Grace inquired during the emergency meeting, claiming innocence.
"I was in Electrical," Ava explained. "Didn't see anyone around."
"I was fixing O2 in Admin, but I saw no one there," Grace said effortlessly.
The talks intensified with each game, and the group's confidence eroded with each betrayal. Grace's streaming audience was intrigued, and the chat was packed with hypotheses and support for their favorite players. The girls' dynamics changed, with alliances developing and breaking depending on the events of each round.
As Grace continues to play, new viewers are attracted to her livestream and become entranced with the game.
'OMG, this game looks so cool! What's it about?'
'Impostors? That sounds intense! How do you find them?'
'Wow, sounds like a murder mystery! Are you playing with your friends?'
'Look at the graphics, they're so cute but the game seems so tense!'
'Be careful! Electrical is a death trap!'
'RIP. Who was it??'
'Oops! Wrong vote. This game is tough!'
At the end of the evening, Grace sat back in her chair feeling drained but full of joy. "Wow, that was fun, ladies. I'm done for today!" she said with genuine glee.
Her friends agreed with her and were already thinking about strategies for tomorrow.
Grace signed off, her heart bursting with joy at the thought of playing again.

Just like this scenario, many people played Among Us with their friends and enjoyed it. Just like Leo's other games, this one was also gaining the approval of many people, and the popularity of the game is continuously increasing.
While both games are gaining success, Leo officially submitted his documents for his VR developer license to the Game Union Association.
As his two games, Among Us and Roblox, have been successful, along with his other three games, he has fulfilled the requirement of five successful games.
Now he only had to be evaluated by the Game Union Association. After he passes the assessment, he will be eligible to make VR games.
Normally it should have taken two days to do the evaluation, but as Leo is the most influential non-VR developer right now, his evaluation would take only one day.
As Leo filled out the form online for the assessment and submitted the documents, he felt satisfied with himself.
It didn't take a long time for Leo to reach this step, but he was filled with anticipation for his future journey.
...
Just as Leo was taking the next step in his journey, the popularity and the people who loved his game didn't stop growing.
While many people were playing his game due to his popularity, the wonderful experience of the Among Us and Roblox has hooked many new players.
New players are recommended by their friends, families, and colleagues to play the game.
People are amazed at the brilliance of Leo, who keeps giving them different wonderful games.
As people love Among Us and Roblox, they are also recommending it to others, increasing its popularity.
The name Leo has almost become the popular talk among teens. Moreover, he is more popular among PC and mobile players as he doesn't have any noteworthy achievements in the VR platform.
Following that, as his popularity continues to increase, some people don't view Leo favorably.
Success came with responsibility, and with that also came criticism.
As Leo became more and more popular, some people started to feel uncomfortable with his achievements.
The glory that belongs to Leo makes them unwilling to accept Leo's success.
It is in human nature to feel that, even if one knows it is impossible to achieve the same thing Leo did, one still doesn't feel good about it.
Of course, only some people are like this. The majority still loved Leo's work. Many became his fans, considering he had provided so much for PC users.
But the criticism still exists.
The main argument used to criticize Leo is that he has only made PC games and doesn't have experience in the VR platform. These people believe that he will be limited to the PC platform and won't achieve the same success in the VR platform.
Of course, this belief is so idiotic. Leo also knows this, so he just ignores it. He knows that even beloved art made by mankind will have people who don't like it and criticize it. So Leo doesn't care about those outside voices.
However, a reply still has to be given to those people, and coincidentally, the results of his assessment are also out.
