Marination and the Best Recipes

Impostor again. God how I hated it. But on Polus it was a bit easier than on the Skeld, that far I knew. It was me and my partner Purple against the world, at least this time.

Blue was running towards Specimen, after me, and I was split between decisions. Blue would be an easy kill, more than easy. But would I do it? I didn't know.
As soon as Blue stopped to start the Reactor in Specimen, I exhaled and positioned myself shortly on the Manifolds before protecting Blue. Well, acting the part at least. While this kill was so, SO sweet, I decided against it, cursing myself for being such a chicken.

Together, we left Specimen afterwards to Upper Decontamination before a body was found, right a second after lights had been called. Obviously, Purple had gone to work.

BODY REPORTED

"Where?"
"Lights, stack kill. Where was everyone?"
"Cyan seems safe, they didn't kill me in Specimen"
I paused before a large shiteating grin appeared on my lips. Well that was easy. Marination a success. Now I only had to convince the others of myself.
"As far as I know everyone else was on the stack..."

Purple was An Impostor

I had no idea how they got Purple on this but I was already cursing my luck again. Now all the hard work was going to fall into my hands. Goshdangit.
It was me against four crews, once again. How I hated it...

My luck that Blue declared me safe at least, since Yellow dipped into Lower Decontamination and did the wiggle dance. The wiggle dance? Yellow wanted to be followed. I just shrugged and went with em while the rest of the Crew, blissfully unaware, ran towards Electrical to fix lights.
Did I need another Marination of Yellow? I decided against it. I didn't need Yellow for this, I had to convince Black. She was a good friend of mine I had exchanged Discords with some time ago to continue playing Among Us with her, and she was scarily good at predicting my role. I had no idea how she did that but she somehow always knew when I was Impostor. I was acting differently?? Somehow?? Even though I did all the same.

As soon as Yellow stopped on the Artifacts in Specimen I smiled to myself, pressing down on the Kill button while dashing towards Upper Decontamination. Sorry, Yellow, but Cyan protection services was only free for Blue this round.
I mixed myself into the flock at Electrical and fixed lights with the others before going back down to Vitals with Black. I wasn't going to kill her, I just ran back and forth between Admin and Vitals to act Crew. It wasn't until Black called an Emergency Meeting upon the death of Yellow that my breath hitched for a second.
"Saw Yellow dead on Vitals. Was someone not at Lights?"
"I don't recall anybody not being there" I answered smoothly. Well, that went well. The Crews believed me, and Blue vouching for me made things even better. Time to suggest the ultimate Crew move.
"Let's skip and try to win on Tasks. There isn't much more left."
"Cyan is safe, they did tasks with me too," Black quietly announced before dropping her vote on Skip.

I decided to follow Black, my dearest friend, around. I had to try and win her trust. The taskbar was to meetings, so I went with her and quietly did a few tasks next to her, but I had to do something before they got a win from tasks. So I did the only good pick... and called Comms.

Together we went down, and my incredible luck struck once again. I stacked with Blue and Black before White came along. That madlad stood on top of us... I couldn't resist, I pressed Kill, and my perfect PERFECT Kill couldn't have hit anybody better-

White's body fell on top of us, and Blue reported. I was nervous, understandably, and yet I was cheering myself on because this Kill was just perfect.

"Black lol" Blue typed, only to have Black ranting back.
"It's Blue."
"How??? Cyan protected me all through Speci, it HAS to be you!"
"I cleared Cyan long ago, it's gotta be you Blue! Cyan, vote Blue, it's Blue!"
"Trust me Cyan, it's Black! It's gotta be Black! Pls don't throw!"
"Kuroka trust me! Vote Blue!"

I only laughed behind my screen as both crews locked in their vote. I had fooled them so good. And while I enjoyed my second of silence, basking in my success, I quietly typed among the now silent Crews before locking in my final vote.

"Ladies and Gentlemen..."

"I played both of you."
