"GO!"

As soon as the digital timer went off, everyone got their plans into motion. Whether it just be standing there or running off to find a target, they were going ahead with it. The most notable example in this situation was Sheriff, as he broke out into a sprint as soon as he saw Stoner standing out in the open. Holding his pillow in one hand and keeping his hat on his head with the other, the brown-clad crewmate was ready to wreak havoc.

On the other hand, Stoner already had a plan, and didn't flinch when he saw the incoming enemy. He began to spin himself around with the pillow in his hands, a powerful lime green aura surrounding him. Sheriff's movements were brought to a halt when he saw what his opponent had practically transformed into.

The can blown away by the mini tornado crashed into a wall, temporarily distracting Sheriff from trying to attack his foe. It gave Stoner barely enough time to stop his spinning and land a direct hit on his head. Signalled by a loud buzz, Sheriff had been eliminated.

Over in Medbay, or rather the hallway next to it, Player and Dum were planning on scoping out people in the Reactor, meaning they had to pass through the Locker Room. Player's attention fell to a barely open locker, so he silently signalled to head for the door. While he was able to make it there, his sister didn't have as much luck as him.

The thing is, Dum wasn't very good at being quiet. Her footsteps clanged and echoed around the room, barely reaching the door in the process. The door started to open, only for the two to see Ninja standing in front of them with a smug expression.

"The vents! Of course, why didn't we use those?"
"Hahah, and they called ME dumb! Literally."

All it took was two slaps in the face to eliminate the sibling combo. Ninja nodded to himself and jumped back into the vents. It sure was nice that anyone could use the vents now.

In the Greenhouse, Mr Cheese was still trying his best to disguise as a plant. Being orange among all of these plants, which certainly weren't orange, didn't help much. He heard the room's vent click open, and a deep voice emerged in the room, obviously the one of Veteran.

"There's somebody in here, I can feel it! So show yourself coward."
"No, I'm a plant."

Veteran, with a expression that screamed 'Oh my [BLEEP]ing god' walked over to the 'plant' and pulled the cheese wearing crewmate out of his horrible hiding place. The two states at one another for a while before Veteran just smacked Me Cheese in the face with his pillow.

A faint "Owie!" could be heard from behind the buzzer sounding.

(Timeskip, also brought to you by The Airship..)

Two people remained.

Angel and Captain.

A lot of the eliminations up until now were swift and simple, minus Stoner's. His was a long and boring process, even for Angel. The two crewmates stood in front of one another, about three feet away from one another,both on the Balcony. Their guards were raised, but one had a strategy to bait out the other and claim a victory.

It was time to execute that plan.

"Hey Captain! I think I just saw the Airship fly by!"
"It did? Oh man, I gotta see this!"

With Captain distracted, Angel ran up to him and smacked her pillow against his back. The final buzzer of the game sounded, signalling the victory. Angel pumped her free fist in celebration, and Captain turned around with a slightly betrayed expression.

"Wow, the game of trickery! Not one I like to play, but a great victory regardless. You go find whatever movie you want for tonight."

As Captain walked away, Angel smiled. She already had a idea in her head.

After going over if everyone had phones on them, which they did,  everyone met back up in the personal lounge of Mira. Angel had a small case in her hand, which everyone was intrigued by. She held it upwards and it sbimmered in the sunset light: all 7 copies of some kind of Party Pack[1], as well as a additional game that wasn't in the packs.[2]

Everyone was pleasantly surprised by this outcome, and knew that maybe a break from movies would be appreciated. So everyone got to their seats, booted up the game and spent most of the night joking around and enjoying themselves.

[1] Its literally just the Jackbox Party Packs. Angel knows how to have a good time, feel free to take that...out of context.
[2] Similarly, this is just Drawful 2!
