Broken - Raekkuno oneshots

Among us - It's real

This wasn't planned. At all.

Rae opened her stream as usual, with a bowl of noodles next to her monitor on the table, opened among us, joined the discord then the lobby. Everything has already become so automatic that she bet she would have done it without her eyes opened. 

But this time something changed.

As she clicked on the "Join" button, she felt the softness of her gaming chair disappear. Then she sensed something thick suddenly surrounded her, it was comfy, but the material was foreign to her. And the air, it started to change, too. The scent of her lavender candle transformed into a cold and harsh odour of, well, pure oxygen.

And she was propelled from the seat as the safety belt automatically unbuckled. It took her several seconds to adapt to the visor on the helmet, before she spotted some familiar figures of her friends.

"S...Sykkuno?"

"Rae..." Sykkuno turned around from the mini laptop and stared at her. There was no excitement or even any sense of life from his shivering voice.

"Wha...What's wrong? Wh...why..."

"Come and see." Toast spoke in a calm but cold tone, without his usual sarcasm. 

Rae slowly moved her legs, covered in accordion-shaped leggings of her spacesuit, to the laptop, which was only a bit bigger than a Nintendo switch. But the message on there was, clearly through the others' reactions, undesirable. Therefore despite that she could walk freely without even using much energy in this zero-gravity environment, she took her time to reach it.

The message was in a weird font in capital letters:

Hello fellow Among Us enthusiasts:

This is a real-life Among Us game. Meaning, take this seriously. You don't experience any sort of physical pain in this game if you're killed by the imposter, you're welcome. 

However, I have manipulated the game slightly. There are no skipping options during voting, and realistic features such as thirst and hunger can, and will be experienced during the game. The speed of time is around 24x the time in normal life, so if the round doesn't end in 3hrs, all will die one-by-one due to dehydration. There are only three meetings, and a decision must be made at the third meeting, otherwise everyone automatically loses. 

And if your group, no matter crewmate or imposter, loses, you disappear in the real world. The members of the winning group get to return to real life, and they are the only ones with the memory of the people of the lost group. 

Enjoy,

^-^

Rae stood there, frozen, in silence. She moved to the other corner of the spacecraft, trying to find a door or a gap from which she can escape. She could hear Toast and Sykkuno explaining the situation to Corpse and some other voices which she hadn't heard of, but she stayed away from the scene. All she wanted was silence, and thanks to proximity chat, this could simply be done by distancing from others. 

But she could still intermittently hear some of their loud conversations nevertheless, combined with sobs and shouts. Corpse and Toast tried their best to maintain everything under control, and Sykkuno simply sat next to Rae, speechless.

"Who are the others?" Rae asked quietly.

"I don't know, but three of them seemed to know each other, and the other two were not speaking," Sykkuno answered, "and mind you, those two were scary as hell."

"You started swearing too, huh?" Rae forced a wry smile.

"What's the point of the public image? When no matter which side you're on you're going to suffer anyway?"

Rae nodded. That was a good summary of that psychopath's intentions. To see people suffer.

"Let's just hope that we're all going to be crewmates." Corpse joined the conversation, followed by the cyan suit of Toast's.

Toast was thinking about something. Something that he didn't want to speak out, something that was too tragic for the others to realise:

If the psycopath wanted everyone to suffer, then the friend-groups would be torn up. 

One of the Amigops would be the imposter.
