An Among Us Story 2 - Live on Polus

PINK

Seriously, man... Black is a handful. She's the most quick-tempered of everyone here... which makes it so freaking hard to get a unanimous vote across.

I swear, if I were the host of the lobby instead, she would have been kicked from this lobby a long time ago. Like, no one can tolerate her and her rudeness!

I can't believe that she's the host of this lobby... ugh!

Glowering at Black, Green and I stroll out of the meeting room and towards the Lab, where we had planned on going while the others had their turns quarrelling with one another.

"That absolute b****," My bestie rolls her eyes as she sighs, while making sure that we are out of earshot of the other Crewmates. "I can't believe that she threatened you like that! And Brown... Why would he even think that you're An Impostor? I've been with you this entire time!"

I know, right??? Like, what's wrong with them???

Geez... I can't believe that Black and Brown are levels 19 and 29 respectively. They sure do act like they're level 1!

"Exactly!" I chime in as I likewise roll my eyes. "And do you remember the part at the start when they were arguing with each other? It was like I was watching the video of the baby and the toy cactus fighting all over again! I swear, if you hadn't intervened, the meeting would never have ended!"

Man, thinking about it now gives me the chills.

Would we actually lose this round?

Nononononono, we cannot lose this round! If we do, I would lose $500... and my 5-streak win as a Crewmate would be lost!

"Those people... They're really getting out of hand," Green sighs. "We should leave the lobby after this game so that we don't have to play with them anymore. After all, we came here to get money, and these people are going to mess up more of our chances of getting any in the future!"

Hmm... I agree with her first point, but...

Among Us isn't just about gaining money from the ever-wealthy big shots working at Innersloth. I also wanted to play Among Us to... to spend more time with her by playing a rather interesting game.

IPhone games just don't cut it for me, man.

"Yeah, true..." I murmur aloud, betraying myself as we both enter the corridor leading to the Lab.

"So, moving on..." The serious look on Green's face makes me snap mine to hers as I listen, with rapt attention, to what she is going to say next. "How should we get Cadence to stop mugging during the holidays and to join us? Our current method doesn't seem to be working..."

Ah, right, that.

As much as it's admirable how much passion our dear friend has for her work, it's infuriating when it comes to trying to tear her away from it. Like, why does she love studying so much?? It's such a bore!

Memorising the whole textbook, having to do worksheets dished to us daily, scrawling out answers to past-year examination questions... and for what? A series of 'major' tests at the end of every year?? Like geez, aren't there better things to do in our lives rather than study for an endless stream of tests?

Anyway, back to our plan of saving Cadence from the clutches of the education system. How should we do it?

We enter the Lab, where the thunking sound of the wooden floor when we step on it does not help my thinking process at all. Even the newly-bought carpet doesn't seem to want to help me here. How utterly useless!

"Idk, man," I shake my head as I flick the switch on the weather node panel. "Any ideas?"

Next to me, Green slides a palm down her face. I guess that she hasn't thought of one, either.
