Can You Survive? | *in progress*

Sitting on the floor, you frantically shuffle away from Red, watching the blood oozing out of Purple. Red looks towards you, even more panicked than before, if that's possible.

"Please, just let me explain!" Red pleads

"You... you killed Purple. You're the imposter." You accuse

"I didn't know what I was doing!" Red whines "just, she hurt you before and I wasn't there, I was worried she would try to do it again and... I still wasn't there. She could have killed you" Red admits. "My anger got the better of me. I don't want you to get hurt, White"

"So you killed Lime. And you're going to kill everyone else?" You laugh maniacally. "No chance", throwing every ounce of spite into your words as you quickly shuffle further away.

"No! White it isn't like that!" Red protests. "That wasn't me."

You manage to scramble to your feet and run through the hallway, skidding to a stop before yanking your door open, almost pulling it off the hinges. Red chases after you, and you grab your tablet.

"Hear me out" they whined

"No way!"

"White please - you don't understand!" Red begs. You ignore Red, frantically scrolling through your tablet. Red catches up with you, and you panic, you can't find the emergency meeting button. "White, stop. Just let me talk to you."

You have an idea. You turn to Red, who reaches out and gently takes the tablet off you. Red slowly places it on the floor. "Okay. Please listen. This is important"

Suddenly, you sprint past a surprised Red and out of your room, crashing into the wall of the hallway, extending your arms to lessen the impact. You rush to the cafeteria, almost slipping in the pool of Purple's blood as you go.

Crashing straight into the large round table in the centre of the cafeteria, you reach out and hit the button. You sigh in relief when an alarm and a red light activate, and crewmates pour out of their rooms, putting on their helmets as they walk towards the cafeteria. You and Red are the only people who don't have your helmets. You hear gasps and "oh my gosh the imposters killed Purple" as they walk past the corpse in the hallway.
"What happened?" And "Why this early?" Could also be heard. "Surely everyone should have been in their rooms?" You hear Blue ask, glaring from the body to you and Red.

The crewmates stand just inside the cafeteria, awaiting an explanation as they watch you sitting in a seat panting, violently shaking from the adrenaline. You point towards Red as you regain your breath. Everyone turns to Red.

"Okay, why don't we all sit down, get out our tablets and start discussion?" Blue nervously suggests.

Seeing you are out of breath, Cyan quickly grabs you a juice box before sitting down next to you. You finish it in 5 seconds flat, and Cyan gets you a few more.

"Hey Green?" You manage to ask between deep breaths.

"Yeah White?"

"Can you up discussion time?"

"What happened?!" Orange asks

"Why do you sus Red?" Blue questions

"Did you see Purple being killed?" Black interrogates.

"Did you see how it happened?" Pink pipes up

"Were you being chased?" Brown queries

"Everyone CALM DOWN!" Green orders. Everyone turns to Green. "Sorry I didn't mean to yell I just- well this must be stressful for all of us, especially White, and White is also out of breath so ease down on the questions for a sec. I've upped discussion time so let's be slow and rational okay? One question at a time."
