In medias res
(Player is uploading files in Admin. Wizard is beside him.)
WIZARD
Hurry up! We need to finish our tasks before the Impostor shows up!
PLAYER
I'm trying, Wizard. But Captain wasn't lying when he said the ship's Wi-Fi was being really slow today.
(Player and Wizard notices Arnold stomping.)
PLAYER
Uh...what was that?
WIZARD
Oh my god! Run!
(Arnold smashes through one of the walls in Cafeteria. Player and Wizard scream and run away to Storage.)
PLAYER
(panting while speaking) Did we lose him?
WIZARD
I think so...
(Arnold comes out from a box.)
PLAYER AND WIZARD
AHHH!
PLAYER
(notices that Wizard stopped running, feeling worried) Wizard, what are you doing? Run!
WIZARD
No, Player. Go on without me! I'll protect you!
WIZARD
You...shall...not...pass!
(Wizard smashes his staff to the ground and Arnold falls through it after stepping on it without realizing the cracks.)
Arnold's debut
Earlier that day...
PLAYER
Ah, it's good to be back. And now that I've won a game, I've probably earned the respect of my peers! I bet they can't want to see me again. I'm like a rockstar!
(Player finds Veteran and Captain and waves his hand at them.)
PLAYER
Hey guys!
VETERAN
Oh, hey stranger. Are you new here?
PLAYER
What? Veteran, it's me.
VETERAN
How do you know my name, fellow crewmate? We've clearly never met before.
CAPTAIN
Veteran, don't be silly. This is that person who used to be our friend and play Among Us with us a long, long time ago!
PLAYER
Alright. Ha-ha. Very funny.
VETERAN
Oh, that's right. What was his name again? Something with a 'P'? Person, partner...
CAPTAIN
Playman!
VETERAN
Ah yes, Playman. How's it going, Playman? It's been eons since we've seen you.
PLAYER
Okay guys, chill. I spent some time playing some other games, it's not the end of the world.
CAPTAIN
You hear that, Veteran? Losing friends isn't all that important to Playman.
VETERAN
Then he won't mind if we walk away right in the middle of our conversa-
PLAYER
Veteran? Captain? Come on!
(Wizard approaches Player.)
WIZARD
They're just gonna need some time is all, Player.
PLAYER
Oh? Uh, hey Wizard.
WIZARD
I think they really got their feelings hurt when you went solo for a while.
PLAYER
I guess that makes sense.
(Player finds Mr. Cheese, TheGentleman, Gnome and Mother then he puts his hand up to make them notice him but Mr. Cheese, TheGentleman, Gnome and Mother turn away.)
PLAYER
Wow. Does everybody hate me now?
WIZARD
Pretty much, but they'll come around. I don't hate you.
PLAYER
I wouldn't have pegged you to be the loyal one of the group, Wizard?
WIZARD
Wizards don't hold grudges. Plus, I've been shunned from the group as well.
PLAYER
Why?
WIZARD
...because I made Arnold Impostornater.
PLAYER
Huh?
(Wizard whistles, then Arnold smashed through the wall.)
MR. CHEESE, THEGENTLEMAN, GNOME, AND MOTHER:
(inaudible babbling)
WIZARD
See? They hate him.
PLAYER
I still don't understand. You...made this monster?
WIZARD
I was trying to practice my spells, but you know how it goes: you mix up your pocuses with your patronuses and you end up with a giant muscle man.
PLAYER
Is he friendly?
WIZARD
Mostly. But he only speaks in movie quotes.
ARNOLD
Get to the chopper!
PLAYER
Oh boy.
(The game then started.)
CAPTAIN
Everyone, scatter! But not for fun. It's because we're publicly shaming Playman. Let us wean him from the herd like a sick gazelle of the Serengeti.
VETERAN
Seriously dude, what is your deal with animals lately?
PLAYER
Welp. Better do my tasks, I suppose.
PLAYER
So, I'm supposed to clean the vent? That's a new one.
God, what has been going on down here? Gross! Impostors are disgusting.
CAPTAIN
Hey! Who called the meeting? I was almost finished uploading data in Admin! Do you know how long that task takes? Seconds!
THEGENTLEMAN
Everyone, vote out this...this monstrosity right now!
MOTHER
Do you mean Arnold Impostornater?
THEGENTLEMAN
Yes. He murdered my precious cheesy boy!
VETERAN
Works for me. That horrible banana color is dangerously close to my majestic mustard yellow. I don't trust it. Plus, I was like always the biggest smallest guy here before he showed up.
GNOME
Yeah, but he's all muscle and you're just a huge ball of fat.
VETERAN
Mass is mass, dude.
WIZARD
Hey, you guys are clearly teaming up on Arnie. Is there any proof of him killing Mr. Cheese?
THEGENTLEMAN
Arnold Impostornater flattened my poor Mr. Cheese into a cheddar pancake! I saw it with my own visor. Playman can confirm.
CAPTAIN
Playman, what say you?
PLAYER
You know what? If you wanted me to vote with you guys, you better start using my actual name. Plus, Gentleman, you were in the same room as well. It could've easily been you.
THEGENTLEMAN
How dare you.
CAPTAIN
You know what? It is more likely that it was TheGentleman. You guys have such a complicated relationship. An old Arnold is a nuisance; but he's a fairly gentle giant, much like the peaceful blue whale.
VETERAN
Captain, we get it. You've seen planet Earth.
STONER
Ocean creatures are actually from Blue Planet. Learn your nature documentaries bro.
MOTHER
Can we just vote out TheGentleman and get on with it?
THEGENTLEMAN
Wait, no!
ARNOLD
Hasta la vista, baby.
CAPTAIN
Come on. Upload, you stupid computer!
PLAYER
Having some trouble, Captain?
aCAPTAIN
I'm just annoyed how slow this is going. You'd think space would have faster Wi-Fi!
Finally! I'm off, like the frightened zebra fleeing from the-
PLAYER
Okay, just get outta here.
WIZARD
Hello Player. How's it going?
PLAYER
Honestly Wizard, I'm not sure we made the right call back there at the meeting. I know he's your friend but it probably was Arny who flattened Mr. Cheese. TheGentleman doesn't have the upper body strength to pull off something like that.
WIZARD
Yeah, he's not yoked.
PLAYER
Definitely not.
WIZARD
Then why'd you side with me?
PLAYER
I guess everybody else was making me so mad that I didn't want to be on their side. We're gonna lose if we let Arnold Impostornater off the hook, though.
WIZARD
What do you suggest?
PLAYER
You go see if you can track down his location. I'm gonna watch the Admin module and see if anything fishy happens.
WIZARD
Man, look at you. Winning one game and already acting like a total Among Us pro! I love it.
PLAYER
A bunch of people in the west side.
PLAYER
Oh my god, it's a killing spree! Arnold Impostornater is killing everyone!
ARNOLD
Rubber baby buggy bumpers. Ha!
PLAYER
Wait. If you're here, then-
GNOME
(crying) Veteran's dead! Veteran's dead! It must be Arnold Impostornater. I knew that thing was trouble!
CAPTAIN
Arny, what do you have to say for yourself?
ARNOLD
If it bleeds, we can kill it.
WIZARD
No. That's just an unfortunate side effect of him only being able to speak in movie quotes. He's innocent!
GNOME
Lies!
PLAYER
No, really. He was with me in Admin when all the killings were happening on the west side.
CAPTAIN
This is quite the conundrum.
WIZARD
Maybe we should skip. Our tasks are almost done. If we vote out someone now and are wrong, we'd lose. But if we skip, we might be able to finish now before the impostors eliminate us all.
PLAYER
That seems risky.
CAPTAIN
...but it's a risk I'm willing to take. Let's skip, everyone!
GNOME
Skipping!
WIZARD
Skipped.
PLAYER
Fine, I'll skip as well.
ARNOLD
Come with me if you want to live.
WIZARD
That means he skipped too.
WIZARD
Hurry up! We need to finish our tasks before the Impostor shows up!
PLAYER
I'm trying, Wizard. But Captain wasn't lying when he said the ship's Wi-Fi was being really slow today.
(Player and Wizard notices Arnold stomping.)
PLAYER
Uh...what was that?
WIZARD
Oh my god! Run!
(Arnold smashes through one of the walls in Cafeteria. Player and Wizard scream and run away to Storage.)
PLAYER
(panting while speaking) Did we lose him?
WIZARD
I think so...
(Arnold comes out from a box.)
PLAYER AND WIZARD
AHHH!
PLAYER
(notices that Wizard stopped running, feeling worried) Wizard, what are you doing? Run!
WIZARD
No, Player. Go on without me! I'll protect you!
WIZARD
You...shall...not...pass!
(Wizard smashes his staff to the ground and Arnold falls through it after stepping on it without realizing the cracks.)
PLAYER
No!
PLAYER
The Impostornater. You're right. He's evil!
GNOME
I told you guys!
CAPTAIN
We really biffed it on that one.
PLAYER
Wait! You guys are doing tasks?
GNOME
Yeah, so?
PLAYER
So, neither of you are the impostors?
CAPTAIN
Nuh-uh.
PLAYER
Then, why isn't the game over?
WIZARD
Cause we are.
(Arnold and Wizard smash through the wall.)
PLAYER
Wait...
(The scene transitions to the scene where Arnold killed Mr. Cheese.)
(The scene then transitions to the scenes where Wizard killed Veteran, Mother and Stoner.)
PLAYER
It was you!
WIZARD
You're doing right. It was, Player. Arny?
ARNOLD
Who's your daddy, and what does he do?
WIZARD
Really? That's the line you went with? Kindergarten Cop.
(Arnold flattens Player with both of his arms.)
