🍋 LEMON's POV 🍋
-----•-----
"Okay" I told them. "Brooke and Vincent are.. now dead. We need to discuss their murder now". "Let's start with who we know are actually innocent" Fuchsia said. "I saw Lime shooting some asteroids, so they're safe". "But that's only one person out of eight of us who is innocent" Angie said.

"Man, there's only eight left??" Rudy said. "Oh my god..". "WE NEED TO DISCUSS" I told them. "We don't want anyone else to die". "Okay, let's put in our alibis" Andy said. "Me and Nutella were together the whole time, so we couldn't have killed them". "But what if those two are the imposters?" Rudy questioned. Nutella slammed her fist onto the table. "As if I would kill anybody!" she yelled. "Plus, Andy's too much of a softie to kill anyone". "Shut up, Nutty" Andy said.

"Geez, chill" Rudy replied. "It was only a suggestion". "Okay, the rest of you. Explain your alibis" Lime told us. "I was with Lemon the whole time". "Also, I'd never kill in front of Daisy" I said. "I don't need to traumatize her any more than she already is". "That's kind of sus" Nutella said. "You're kind of sus" Rudy replied.

"Says the one who's suit is literally the colour of blood!" Nutella yelled. "You don't even need to clean the damn thing cause the blood's already so well camouflaged on you!". "We can't just blindly accuse eachother!" Angie yelled. "Oh Jesus...". "Me and Angie were together the whole time in Security" Fuchsia told us. "That is true" Lime said. "The cameras were flashing red".

"So that leaves Rudy" I said. "Have an alibi?". "I was in Navigation" he said. "The files won't download themselves, y'know?". "I-I was with brother the entire time" Daisy said. "So.. one of us is lying" Angie said. "But who?".

"I propose that one of the duos did a double kill" Andy told us. "It's possible that the two impostors teamed up together to kill both Vincent and Brooke". "That would make the most sense" I said. "So, who do we vote?" Fuchsia asked us. "We can only vote for one person at a time".

"Maybe it's Rudy!" Nutella said. "He's a loner. He could've killed them in Medb-". "I AM NOT THE IMPOSTOR!" Rudy shouted. "Means that I was alone doesn't mean I'm the impostor!!". "Well it certainly is very sus!" Nutella yelled. "What about Daisy!?" he shouted. "Means that she's a child doesn't mean she's innocent! Her small size even makes it easier for her to crawl through the vents!".

"I-I'm not the impostor!" Daisy shouted. "But what if she isn't the impostor but Lemon and Lime are?" Angie asked us. "Daisy could keep the secret because Lemon is her brothe-". "No no, Lime did the asteroids task" Fuchsia told her. "Oh yeah I forgot about that.." Angie said.

Everybody was pointing fingers at eachother. Blaming eachother. Accusing eachother. We were getting nowhere with this. "Guys!" I shouted. I slammed my hands onto the table. Everyone looked at me. "Okay, guys look" I said. "We are getting NOWHERE with just accusing eachother!". "We only have a limited amount of time too" Angie said. "Only 30 seconds left". I looked down at my tablet. 30 seconds left to vote.

"Okay who do we vote now??" Lime asked us. "Just skip it!" Fuchsia told us. "We already did that last round!" Nutella yelled. "Vote Rudy!". "She's blindly accusing me!" Rudy shouted. "Vote her!". "Guys we've been over this!!" I shouted. Time was ticking. Soon enough, voting was done.

LEMON = 0
LIME = 0
DAISY =0
NUTELLA = 1
RUDY = 1
FUCHSIA = 0
ANGIE = 0
ANDY =0
SKIP= 7

Nobody was ejected. Nutella and Rudy glared at eachother. "We didn't vote anyone again.." Angie mumbled. "We need to work harder!". "You can't just expect us to automatically go Sherlock now!" Nutella exclaimed. Oh god. "Guys, stop arguing!" I told them. There was a short silence among us.

"We need to think about the important things now" I said. "Our leader is dead. Who's going to lead us now?". "I think we should talk to the Captain for that" Fuchsia said.

I sighed. "Kay guys, just go back to whatever you were doing before" I told them. "I'll be taking a rest in my bedroom". Daisy followed behind me as I walked back to our room. "You don't have to come with me" I told her. "I can't trust anyone else" she said. "I only trust you".

🥀 IMPOSTER #2's POV 🥀

Liar! Liar! Liar! Liar! Liar!

"Guys, I swear I didn't do it on purpose!" I yelled. The crewmates kept on chanting. Liar! Liar! Liar! Two of them grabbed my arms. "You killed our friend!" they shouted. My parasitic mouth opened up and tried to slash at them, but the crewmates had grabbed knives and cut off the tongue. My tongue. I could feel the pain course through my body. One of them pressed the eject button on the wall. The doors behind me opened up and I could feel the cold embrace of space trying to pull me in.

"I said I'm sorry!" I yelled. One of the crewmates stepped forward. "I trusted you.." they said. They grabbed my helmet off my shoulders and pushed me off into the abyss. Leaving me to die alone in space.

"GAH!"

I sat up in my bed. Oh dear god it was just a dream. I pulled off my bedsheets and stared down at my stomach. My parasitic tongue was still there. I sighed. It was just a dream. Or it could become a reality.

I pulled the bedsheets over my head. I need to sleep and get some rest. But the nightmare was still haunting me. The guilt building up in my stomach made me queasy.

"You awake?" I heard a voice say. I turned over to see who the voice was. Brooke and Vincent's ghosts were standing there while watching me, glows of blue and purple dancing on the walls. Their hair seemed more messy than when they were still alive. Brooke wasn't wearing his glasses anymore and Vincent wasn't wearing his crown.

"What are you guys doing here?" I asked them. "Oh, just watching you" Vincent replied. "You were talking in your sleep" Brooke told me. "Something about being sorry and such". "I-I just had a bad dream" I explained to them.

"Yeah, they're pretty bad" Vincent said. "Once, I had to save SpongeBob because he got kidnapped and I nearly got killed by Coraline's other mother". I looked at him confused, then giggled a bit. "Was SpongeBob okay?" I asked him. "Nah, he was turned into a baguette" Vincent said. "You've got some pretty weird dreams" Brooke said. "Wait till you hear about when I harvested demons" Vincent told us.

"Haha, very fun" I said. I layed down on my bed. "But seriously, why are you guys here?" I asked them. "Well, we just wanted to check up on you" Brooke told me. I turned away from them. "Why would you check up on me?" I asked them. "I killed you guys". "You were making some loud sounds" Vincent explained to me.

Brooke nudged him with his arm. "What??" Vincent said. Brooke sighed and turned towards me. "We know it's not your fault" he said. I pretended to be asleep, trying to ignore them. Maybe all this was just a dream. I closed my eyes, trying to get back to sleep.

"You asleep yet?" Vincent asked me. I didn't reply to him. There was silence for a bit. I think a few minutes. I then heard some music playing. Soft, calm music. I turned over to see where the music was coming from.

I saw Brooke's ghost for just a second, quickly running through the walls away from my sight. My phone was open next to my bed, playing some music.

I smiled and closed my eyes. I hummed to the slow music. Reminds me of when I was a kid. Before I got a job here and had to suffer through this.
