Blue's Travels (An AUL Fanfic)

So Close! (Ch. 4)

Oof, I haven't really updated this one in a while! That's because I haven't really been motivated to write anything for this book, but I'm trying my best. This chapter was especially hard because I didn't know what to write for it, but I have some of the other chapters planned out, so I wrote this chapter solely because I had to. It ended up being kinda fun, though.

"C'mon, Blue, you have to trust me!" Not Orange shouts.  "We're friends, remember? I saw her kill Janitor on cams! Please, bro!"

"Don't trust him, Blue," Leslie tells me.  "He's a filthy impostor.  Vote him out!"

Stress pours over me as I'm forced to make a hasty decision.

——

I'm gonna explain everything that happened before now's events.

It's been a bit since I've played Among Us, since I was scarred from the last time I did.  I decided to give it another try, though, because that only happened because of some hacker.  What kind of lowlife hacks Among Us so they can win?  Like, dude, just enjoy the game for what it is.

Let's see what lobby I can join...

Oh, here's a random one.  "Ninja."  Sounds fun enough.

I click, and...

I'm in!

Wait, is that Not Orange?  I wonder if he remembers me at all.  No reason.

"Wow, this place has changed a bit," I comment.

"Right on, brother," Not Orange replies.  "Wait, Blue, is that you?"

"Yeah, how'd you know?" I ask him.

"Your voice sounds the same," he replies.  "Also, I have really good intuition and memory."

"Good for you."

"Want me to introduce you to everyone in this lobby?" he asks.  "Since this one's new to you, and I want to help you out."

"Aren't you normally an asshole?" I ask.  "Why do you want to help me out so bad, like more than you want to help others?  Don't you normally hate this type of thing?"

"I mean, I guess, but you're Blue, soooo..."

"And what difference does that make?"

"Do you want me to introduce them or not?"

"Sure, I'm just saying-"

"Shut up!"

"Sorry."

"Anyway, so first we have the owner of the lobby, Ninja.  He doesn't speak much English, so we just pretend to understand what he's saying," he says, pointing to a purple crewmate wearing a bandana.

He then points to a familiar red crewmate wearing the caution sign as a hat.

"That's Janitor, Jan for short. She's a bit of a simp, but she's cool. Very protective of the people she cares about."

"I know Jan, we played together last game," I tell him.

"Ok," he replies.

After that, he points to a black crewmate wearing a flower.

"That there is Leslie, possibly one of the most trustworthy people here.  She's been crewmate every round, and she's not the type of person to be an impostor."

Then he points to a cyan crewmate wearing a flower pot as a hat.

"That creature over there is NoobLOL. He...well...is something else."
