Unofficial Synopsis[edit | edit source]
The characters of Epithet Erased play a few games of Among Us.
Plot[edit | edit source]
The first game of Among Us begins, with one imposter being among the crewmates. Soon enough, Sylvester Ashling calls an emergency meeting, suspecting Giovanni Potage was faking his tasks, what with him standing still for a prolonged time in the laboratory. The Bonzai Captain interjects that he was merely Googling what dinosaurs the fossils were inside the lab, and the meeting is adjourned with no one being voted out.
Another meeting is called by Giovanni, just being done so he could tell everyone that the fossils with the lab were not real due to Google calling them cartoons. Mera Salamin, annoyed, tries to end the meeting, but Sylvie tries to oust her as the imposter. Mera, however, has Indus Tarbella prove that she was doing trash chute, to which he does. Sylvie then suspects the two are both imposters, only for Molly Blyndeff to remind him that there is only one imposter this round. The meeting is adjourned after Sylvie is voted out, not being the imposter.
Zora Salazar and Ramsey Murdoch race to the emergency button, Ramsey being able to press it first. An emergency meeting starts, with Ramsey barely able to say Zora's name before she states that Ramsey is the imposter. Obviously flustered, Ramsey begins to rant on how Zora had been chasing him about the ship with the clear intent of killing him, but Zora counters she just likes to see the 'rat boy' run. She also briefly states that she saw Ramsey climb out of a vent. The two begin throwing accusations of being 'sus' at each other until Percival King breaks it up, asking Ramsey if he is indeed the imposter. Trying to prove his innocence, he explains that half of the game was him looking at security cameras, and the other was being run at by Zora. However, Mira remembers that she had not seen Ramsey in security when the button was pressed, Ramsey then screaming that he was the one who pressed the button. Mira, upset Ramsey at yelled at her, has her and Indus vote him. Ramsey is successfully voted out, not being the imposter.
Zora begins another emergency meeting, asking Yoomtah where she had been all game. Surprisingly, Yoomtah responds that she had finished all of her tasks and was just running about the map. Mira and Indus are flabbergasted for very different reasons. Mira questions how she could even do everything that fast, what with all the previous meetings they had had, while Indus asks her how she accomplished the card minigame. Yoomtah replies that everything is easier as an imposter, being able to traverse easier with vents, and not having any tasks. Even more confused, Indus asks how she used the vents in the card minigame when Mira realizes Zora had lied about Ramsey venting, as he had not been the imposter. Zora accepts her fate, laughing at remembering Ramsey's demise, and is voted off, ending the meeting and revealing her not to be the imposter.
Percy hits the emergency button, suspecting Mera of being the imposter due to how trigger happy she is at voting crewmates off. Mera tries to use Indus as a scapegoat, only for Molly to reveal that visual tasks are off and Indus pointing out that his message to everyone about Mera doing trash chute was an order given by her. Mera swears, causing Percy and Giovanni to vote for her, Mera is ejected, and is revealed to not be the imposter.
Yoomtah calls an emergency meeting, asks how everyone is doing, and is immediately voted off. She was not the imposter.
Indus calls the next meeting, his guilt of failing to keep Mera safe making him plead everyone to vote him out. Giovanni respects his loyalty, and complies. Percy then pipes up that Molly is the only crewmate left with an emergency meeting. Percy asks Molly if the girl can vote her off after Indus. Molly questions her decision and Percy responds that she had failed her role as a detective and thus her badge, allowing multiple innocents to be sent into the cold and deadly vacuum of space. The two are subsequently voted out, for it to be revealed that Molly was the imposter the entire time. Sylvie is outraged, as Molly had not laid a finger on anyone. Zora shares the same feeling, opting the girl's victory as a reason to shoot children.
As the next game starts, Molly's (in-game) body is immediately found. An emergency meeting is called and both Yoomtah and Sylvie immediately accuse Zora of being the imposter, all the while Giovani is crying in despair over Bear Trap's 'death'. Zora begins to say that someone else had done it to blame her, especially after her recent comments about child murder. Knowing she'll be voted out, she threatens that whoever was the supposed imposter would be hunted down by her, and not just in the game, but in real life. However, the bluff fails, everyone still votes on Zora, and she is ousted as the imposter. Giovanni and Sylvie question Zora as to why she keeps killing Molly, to which she begins to rant about how the imposter never wins because of her, saying that tasks are usually done because the imposter never kills her. She also states that if Molly's the imposter, no one ever votes her off, utilizing her cuteness as a weapon. Molly openly apologizes to Zora, only to send her a cheeky DM. Zora angrily replies to it, falling for the bait. Molly deletes her message and screenshots what Zora had said. Immediately afterwards, she puts her innocent façade back on and tells the rest of the group that Zora was sending her mean messages, further infuriating the garbage cowgirl.
Trivia[edit | edit source]
- Before Youmacon 2020, on Twitter, Brendan Blaber released the script of the first game[4], as well as each player's play style, these are:
- MOLLY[5]
- CREWMATE: Dutifully does tasks. Weaponizes her own cuteness in order to never get killed.
- IMPOSTER: Shockingly good at this. Sews the seeds of infighting while saying VERY little.
- GIOVANNI[6]
- CREWMATE: Frequently uses the buddy system and pairs up with people to protect them. Always volunteers to watch you do visual tasks.
- IMPOSTER: Terrible at this. Immediately kills whoever he is angry at from last round. Yells GOTCHA! when he does it.
- SYLVIE[7]
- CREWMATE: Thinks he's the smartest in the room. Always tries to play detective but seems to be on a different wavelength and almost never fingers the right person. Screams constantly as a ghost when killed.
- IMPOSTER: Obvious because suddenly he isn't deducing constantly
- PERCY[8]
- CREWMATE: Great at keeping the peace during meetings, but uniquely terrible at spotting Imposters. Takes anything you tell her at face value.
- IMPOSTER: Uses the sabotage option and then feels bad about it and fixes the sabotage herself. Tries not to win with kills.
- RAMSEY[9]
- CREWMATE: The guy constantly checking in on Security and Admin to make sure everyone's story lines up. Good at spotting liars but bad at convincing other people.
- IMPOSTER: Kills the smart people first so they can't talk. Overall the best player.
- ZORA[10]
- CREWMATE: Third imposter. Purposefully sabotages people and doesn't do tasks. Will pick a target and follow them around menacingly for half the game for no reason.
- IMPOSTER: Brutally efficient but honestly pretty obvious the second someone suspects her.
- MERA[11]
- CREWMATE: Actually a pretty diligent crew member, but comes across as prickly. "Fine! Vote me! See if I care!" Always gets ejected in rando lobbies. Gets mad easily.
- IMPOSTER: Has a little too much fun. Tries to set up double kills with her imposter buddy. Usually fails.
- INDUS[12]
- CREWMATE: Does not know where anything is. Does not know the map callouts. Does not know how to do the minigames. Follows Mera around 24/7.
- IMPOSTER: Won't kill Mera. When he's the imposter Mera gives him orders, even as a Crewmate. Results in some weird 4D chess rounds.
- YOOMTAH[13][14]
- CREWMATE: ??? You have not seen her the entire game. Where is she? Does not mute her mic. Constantly giggling.
- IMPOSTER: Sometimes openly fucks around as the imposter, bouncing in and out of vents like a trampoline. Other times she is RUTHLESSLY efficient. Will go online to public servers while hacking. Most of the hacks are harmless like she'll be wearing multiple hats at once. Plays White with friends but mains Brown online and if she sees someone being racist she will find their IP address and dox them.
- MOLLY[5]
