celeste took a deep breath and popped into the discord voice channel. she hadn't gone live yet, and was still focusing on getting her facecam and mic situated.

hey everyone! i'm celeste for
those who i haven't met yet

valkyrae: celeste! i'm so glad you
could make it tonight!

pokimane: yay celeste!

sykkuno: hi celeste, i'm sykkuno.

fuslie: hi celeste!!

jacksepticeye: hey! i'm sean, or
jack, whatever you like.

hi guys, sorry i'm still trying
to get my stream up, one sec.

mute

ok, can you guys hear me? we
should be live!
i'm here with rae, poki, leslie,
jack, charlie, sykkuno, toast,
felix, and corpse. wow. that
was a mouthful. anyway, we're
gonna play some among us!
i think it's gonna be a pretty
chill time, at least to start.

unmute

ok, i'm ready whenever you
guys are.

valkyrae: ok, i think we're just
waiting on corpse- oh, there
he is.

CORPSE: hey, sorry, i was getting
my stream up. hopefully it's
working now.

hey corpse! no worries!

CORPSE: hi celeste, it's been a
while.

she could hear his smile though the discord call. it had been a while. they'd played phasmo together ages ago, but never really talked since. it was strange, since she thought they had an instant connection. oh well.

haha, yeah, it has, huh?

pokimane: are we all ready?

the discord erupted into a chorus of "yes's"

valkyrae: ok, starting, good
luck everyone!

mute

CREWMATE

haha, i literally never get
impostor anymore... that's ok
though, starting off chill.
is the sound and everything ok?
like you guys can hear me and
stuff? hope so...
now this may be controversial,
but skeld is my favorite map.
i know it's basic, but it's fun.
y'all are probably gonna
cancel me now huh? i fuckin
DARE you!

i'm the queen of card swipe,
don't even test me

BODY REPORTED
pEWds📢

pokimane: wow.. that was fast.

pewdiepie: i have found toast's
dead body in nav.

fuslie: grease and i were at
reactor when it got called, then
we both did trash in storage

corpse, jack, and i have
been together pretty much
the whole time, we all did
trash in caf and then had
admin tasks

they backed her up. everyone chose to skip after that, since there was no obvious impostor and only one body. she and corpse stayed together for most of the next few rounds, vouching for each other at every meeting. before they knew it, only seven were left.

ok, i obviously don't think
it's corpse. i'm still kinda sus
of poki, but jack says he's been
with her and i trust jack.
[...]
i've been saving my electrical
tasks, but i really wanna get
them done. i'm gonna just
take a leap of faith here. corpse
is with me. it's fine.

she had just opened the circle task panel when her screen flipped to her death animation. it was corpse.

DEFEAT

OH MY GOD CORPSE I CAN'T
BELIEVE YOU MARINATED
ME LIKE THAT HOLY FUCKING
SHIT I-

valkyrae: HE HAD YOU
WRAPPED AROUND HIS
FINGER CELESTE THAT WAS
SO GOOD TO WATCH

sykkuno: corpse does have that
effect on people... was it the
voice?

DisguisedToast: you just gave
corpse such a good video...

and in the background, celeste heard corpse's unrelenting, breathless laugh.

CORPSE: i... i'm so- i'm so
sorry celeste.. i can't-

he could barely speak though his laughs. celeste couldn't help but smile at the sound of it.

let's just start a new one
so i can murder you, corpse.

valkyrae: let's goooo

IMPOSTOR

oh, hell yes!

~***~

thank you guys so much
for letting me play with
you! it was so, so much fun

pokimane: i missed playing
with you! thanks for coming!

sykkuno: it was awesome
to meet you!

soon, the chorus of goodbyes blended together in a cacophony of noise. celeste could still hear corpse's farewell clearly in her headset, however. maybe it was the difference in the octave of his voice or just the fact that she wanted to hear him. either way, it brought an obnoxious grin to her face.

CORPSE: thank you for playing.
again soon?

definitely. bye guys!

disconnect

alright guys, that's gonna do
it for this stream. thank you
so much for joining me, i'll
probably stream some chill
minecraft or something later
tonight or tomorrow, i'll tweet
you guys. love you, have a
beautiful day, bye!
