Chapter 29

The round starts and we all appear in the spawn point.

I click the record button in OBS. No streaming yet, but I'll have the stream highlights ready.

We all separate at random and go off to do our tasks. In my case, check who's alone while faking my tasks

I stab blacklily in a room where no one saw me enter and quickly vent out and appear in a room where there is no one.

I walk around for a few seconds and just then there is a report.

[LoafofBread: "Alright, I think we all know who it is."

[Rykun: "Yup."]

[Redde: "Is it lily?"]

[LoafofBread: "Bro she's dead."]

[Redde: "Oh shoot. I was suspicious of her because she chased me around a little bit."]

Damn, I should've let her alive and killed someone else then.

[Rykun: "So uh… bread who is it?"]

[LoafofBread: "I was just waiting for someone to start yelling but no one did."]

They laughed.

[Charlie: "Where was the body?"]

[bzoomster: "We found Julian's body in the hallways. There are two dead people but I don't think it was a double kill since the bodies are not together."]

EZ Tactics.

Everyone stays quiet.

[Poodlefluff: "Well I don't think we really have enough info to vote someone out."

The game only started popping off last week when Reed told me to buy the game. Of course, I won it from a giveaway because the game was literally everywhere. On Earth though, the game started trending around two months ago so I know the good tactics people implemented after two months of playing. Since the game is new in Pangaea we aren't really seeing the huge brain plays.

[Yvettel: "Yeah, who was with who though?"]

I'm getting an Alibi next round then.

[Redde: "Zoomster, Rykun, Bread, and I were together when we found the body. So that means the rest are sus."]

Bzoom just probably secured his innocence.

[Yvettel: "I was by myself…"]

Damn, we're probably all going to have to name with who we were with. I can either take a risk and call out Yvettel for being by herself and waste some time or stay quiet and hope no one suspects me.

[wipL: "I was with Charlie."]

What? When?

[Poodlefluff: "I was also there with you."]

Is she not suspicious about the fact I was actually not with them?

[Poodlefluff: "Okay so since Yvettel is by herself she's pretty sus right now and the three of us here were together so one of the other guys must be an impostor."]

[bzoomster: "Yeah I agree Yvettel is pretty sus but the four of us walked in on the kill together so it should be one of you guys."]

[Redde: "I agree with zoom. I think it's Poodle and Yvette because notice how wipL didn't even mention Poodle's name and she said she was there with them."]

I stayed quiet. If I say something out of line they'll immediately begin suspecting me.

[LoafofBread: "Notice how Charlie's stayed quiet this whole round…"]

Shoot.

[Charlie: "Yeah, I'm just trying to deduce who could be the impostor because I don't think it's wipL and since the other four are so strongly agreeing I also want to think it's Yvette and Poodle. We don't have enough proof though. What do you have to say for yourself, Yvette?"]

Yup, I'm not giving you a chance to talk, bread.

[Yvettel: "It's not meeee. Guys you have to trust me."]

[bzoomster: "Just how lily trusted you, and where is she now? Get her out of here."]

[Yvettel: "Please it's not me you guys have to trust me."]

[Charlie: "I don't know guys… We're still 8 people."]

[Yvettel: "Yeah, I can show you guys proof that I am innocent."]

[Redde: "Ok, let's see if you're innocent then."]

[Charlie: "Okay, let's have three people go. Bzoom, Bread, and I are going to check with her if she's innocent."]

We skipped the vote.

The screen blacked out.

'No one has been ejected. (Skipped)"

We appeared at the emergency table and we split up into groups. Yvette danced around to tell us where to go and we followed her.

Okay, I know how I'm going to work this out.

While she does her medbay scan to prove she's innocent I click the murder button and kill LoafOfBread.

I wait for a single second and then report the body.

[Charlie: "Uh… zoom you saw that right?"]

[bzoomster: "Uhm, Yvette you literally just killed Bread in front of us."]

[Yvettel: "Wait what? Wait wait wait what I was showing you guys that I was innocent!"]

[Charlie: "Yvette you literally just killed Bread in front of us. How is that showing us you're innocent? Did you misclick it or something?"]

[Rykun: "Pfft- wait really?"

[Redde: "Hahahaha, did she actually do that?"]

Yvette began panicking,

[Yvettel: "Wait what no! Haha, wait, no stop! I didn't do anythinggggg. Guys trust me they're lying."]

Probably laughing out of nervousness and because Reed was laughing.

[Poodlefluff: "I dunno, it's two against one and they're cleared."]

[Yvettel: "Wait I'm serioussss guys please trust me. It's zoom and Charlie they're the impostors!!"]

[Charlie: "Look, Yvette. We haven't even seen each other at all and we've been cleared by people. The only sus people here are you and Poodle."] The thing is, I haven't been cleared by wipL at all but if I add something with which he can agree then I can more or less put false things in with the true statements. If wipL pinpoints this, my plan would fall apart pretty easily though.

[wipL: "Yeah, that's good enough for me."]

wipL has voted.

[Poodlefluff: "Wait guys it's not me though. It's probably Yvette and Redde or something."]

[Redde: "I'm so suspecting you now because I'm definitely a crewmate and now that you accused me it just makes you so much more suspicious."

Are they seriously not suspecting me? Nor bzoom?

[bzoomster: "We gave you a chance Yvette, to prove you were innocent and in a last-ditch attempt you tried to murder us. Unbelievable. We trusted you, Yvette."]

[Yvettel: "Oh my god, nooo! You guys are such horrible liarssss please don't trust them."]

[Rykun: "I'm sorry Yvette but you're pretty sus now."

bzoomster has voted.

Rykun has voted.

[Redde: "Yeah you're kind of sus right now Yvette, sorry if you're not the impostor."]

Redde has voted.

Poodlefluff has voted.

Charlie has voted.

[Yvettel: "Nooooo. Oh my god, guys… Dude you're going to be in zoom's video oh my god."]

[Redde: "If they're actually impostor then they deserve this video but I don't think they actually are…"]

Yvettel has voted.

She ended up having 6 votes to herself from the rest and she voted for me.

Yvettel has been ejected.

[Redde: "Okay now it's just Poodle."]

Well, we just need a double kill and we win.

I wait for the emergency button to tick down to 2 seconds and I sabotage the reactor.

Emergency meetings are meetings you can call to vote people out but you can't have a meeting if there's a sabotage going on.

We all begin running towards the reactor and I move in circles signaling to bzoom for a double kill.

The kill cooldown finally finishes and I spam the kill button. He too kills a few milliseconds after me.

Since we ejected Yvette, there were six people. Since there were six people then there were four crewmates. We kill two crewmates and since it's a 2v2 between crewmates and impostors, we just win. They can't vote us out and we can just sabotage and prevent them from finishing their tasks, so the game automatically gives us the win.

'Victory'

'Charlie and bzoomster'

I burst into laughter.

[Charlie: "Hahaha, I am so sorry Yvette."]

[blacklily: "CHARLIEEEE YOU KILLED ME, YOU MURDERER."]

I begin laughing with bzoomster.

[LoafofBread: "Charlie you little…I knew it was you dude."

[Charlie: "Haha, that's why I killed you."]

[bzoomster: "Good job Charlie."]

[Poodlefluff: "Oh my god I didn't even… I thought it was Yvette and Redde."]

[Redde: "I thought it was Yvette and you…"]

[Rykun: "Duuudeee I thought Charlie and zoom were a little sus from the way Bread just died and they reported it but then Yvette just started laughing and that just made her so suspicious."]

[Redde: "Haha dude exactly."]

[bzoomster: "Yeah, when Charlie said that three people should go check with her and he said our names I knew exactly what he was planning."]

[blacklily: "Danggg that was a nice game though."]

[Juliamn: "FRICK YOU ZOOM."]

We all began laughing.

[Charlie: "Dude by the way wipL, I was never at all with you guys."]

...

The next game started and this time I was a crewmate. Okay, this is fine.

Well, just from the movement I can immediately check out the ones who look to be suspicious.

Blacklily just began standing around in the room and going up and down.

I began following her and Reed followed as well. Okay, they could kill me and get away with it. I immediately begin backing out.

Reed left us. He's probably not a murderer then.

Lily stands around in a device upload task.

Okay, this one is pretty easy to tell if people are faking or not. You have to wait around 5 seconds for the task to be finished and if the person leaves before, or the taskbar doesn't go up after those 5 seconds then they're probably the impostor.

She waited for 2 seconds and left immediately when the taskbar went up from someone else doing a task.

Okay, wow she's ballsy.

I go up into the emergency table and click the button.

[Juliamn: "What's up Char?"]

[Charlie: "Okay so I saw this one person walking around and standing in corners doing absolutely nothing. I follow them and they're just running around, right? Lily, what tasks have you been doing?"]

[blacklily: "Wait, what?"]

Yup, she's trying to think of an answer while I repeat the question to her again.

[Charlie: "What tasks have you been doing?"]

[blacklily: "Uhhhh… the card swipe and the device upload thing in the admin room. But I was just walking around and standing around just because I was just.. tidying up my room."]

She's a bad liar. Everyone can tell.

[Rykun: "That's sus."]

[bzoomster: "Yeah… lily are you sure you were?"]

[Poodlefluff: "Yeah… of course, I believe you lily."]

[Juliamn: "I dunno, I kind of believe lily."]

[wipL: "Send her out."]

[blacklily: "Wait no I'm completely innocent."]

[Charlie: "Oh really?"]

[blacklily: "Yup."]

[Charlie: "Lily are you the impostor?"]

[blacklily: "Uh, haha, wait what no I'm not."]

[Charlie: "You said you were doing the device upload thingy?"]

[blacklily: "Yup and the admin swipe card."]

[Charlie: "Do you know how long the device upload lasts?"]

[blacklily: "Er, no, why?"]

[Charlie: "It lasts around 5 seconds to complete."]

The others began realizing what I was hinting at and they all Ohhhh'd.

[Charlie: "Lily, you faked the device upload for 2 seconds and then left when you saw the taskbar go up."]

She stayed quiet for a few seconds.

We all stayed quiet too to see how she would respond.

Finally, she sighed and everyone began laughing abruptly.

[Poodlefluff: "Pfft- I just love that sigh of resignation."]

[wipL: "Jesus christ Charlie you just hunted her down."]

[bzoomster: "Bro even I'm shaking a little, are you okay lily?"]

[blacklily: "Dude Charlie what the heck! You're so damn scary what even is with those questions?!?!"] She yelled out, gaining her indignance back.

[Charlie: "Haha, I'm sorry you were just so suspicious and when I followed you, you just did that."]

[Rykun: "My god Charlie. You're like a detective."]

That reminds me. I should probably add Sherlock Holmes to the list of books to write.

[Yvettel: "Dude and no one has even died."]

[Redde: "Haha yeah, she was caught so quickly, too."]

We all voted for her and she even voted herself out.

blacklily has been ejected.

One last impostor. They'll probably try to kill me so I have to be with a group or someone who I know is innocent.

Reed's movement hasn't been that suspicious and the way he's been moving around the map to complete tasks isn't too weird. I can probably trust him.

wipL and Julian have been moving a little weirdly too. wipL has been checking on people a little weirdly but the thing is at the start of the meeting he immediately said to vote out lily when I asked her what tasks she'd been doing.

If wipL was the impostor he wouldn't do that, on the other hand thinking about it, Julian actually did say he believed lily. Well, this is ridiculously obvious. Anyone would be able to find this one out.
