~ New game 5/10 players ~

I looked up from my seat, taking a quick glance around the room at my pupil. I would have said 'equal', but we don't know who the impostors are.

~ 6/10 players ~

I chose the pantone 378 C colour, for I feel much needed comfort in the colour green.

~ 7/10 players ~

You need to keep a level head to be able to survive and solve the mystery.

~ 8/10 players ~

I looked to my right. There was baby blue next to me. Funny name for a colour. Tho I do not judge.

~ 9/10 players ~

To my left, I caught a glimpse of black, but his presence was so opposing that I only looked away, not wanting to catch any of that negative aura he seemed to carry.

~ 10/10 player ~

I watched as the narrator's words flickered on the big screen before changing and also affecting us. Which was something I have gotten used to by now.

~ Starting game... ~

I sighed. At long last, the murder games shall begin.

~ Starting game in 3... ~

I reached out with my hand, about to ask baby blue a question.

~ Starting game in 2... ~

I opened my mouth, about to ask him if we could stick together.

~ Starting game in 1... ~

But just as my hand landed on the other's shoulder, he disappeared from my grasp.

~ Game start... ~

Instead, I flew through what seemed like a tear in time and space. Soon enough though, I found myself on the all too well known skeld.

'Well, here goes nothing..', I thought in silence, pulling out the tablet everyone was equipted with, and looking for my first, nearest task I could do. As I scanned through what seemed like billions of tasks, I found one that was just over in weapons. Actually, it was the 'shoot meteors' task. I smiled to myself. A guilty pleasure I had was that I loved shooting. And since I wasn't the impostor, this is the closest, most unsuspecting task that has guns involved and wouldn't get people suspicious over nothing. Sadly however, the task was over only too quickly. I stood up, slightly disappointed before heading down to communications. The last thing I wanted was to get attached to the seat and shoot the meteors all day. It would make me seem weird. Plus it wouldn't be favorable if I don't do my tasks for it could bring the lose onto all of us. I sigh, looking down at the panel before me, swiping my hand up to open the holograph. Then, I looked at all of the red hexagons and tapped on them, fixing them. When they were all white, the screen flashed before giving me a sound of approval and I swiped it down and back into the panel. Then, I heared the sirens going off. When I checked my tablet, I noted that the oxygen was drastically dropping so I rushed into the room, quickly placing the code into the panel which was flashing on my tablet. As soon as the code was in, I saw that '1/2 were sucessfully restarted'. I rushed to admin to do the other one, but turns out there was no need for it since it was restarted by the time I reached the admin door.

I just barely sighed in relief, catching my breath as I doubled over, giving black a weak thumbs up while clutching my stomach with my other arm. Maybe he isn't so bad after all. "Huff.. huff.." I just managed to catch my breath when black was already standing before me all tall and imposing. I cringed a bit, shuddering at his big frame.

"Shall I get you to medbay? I'm sure they have some medicine against stomach aches." He then said impassively.

It was then that I realized that I was still clutching at my stomach, even tho I was standing upright now. But I guess he was right. My stomach seems to be killing me and I could really use some medicine or painkillers.
