prompt answer:
“I don’t ‘do’ forgive and forget”, Quasar warned Orange.
“Relaaaaax,” Orange said with a wink. “Really, the odds of you being able to do something are next to nothin’.”
Quasar thought himself to be more than fair. He tried not to arouse too much suspicion to himself or his fellow imposters and tried not to kill off those who had been especially kind to him. But he had a low tolerance for arrogance.
Orange’s clock was ticking.
——
One of the other imposters fell pretty early in the game. When you decide to self-report and confess to look cutesy, you really shouldn’t be playing this game, Quasar thought with an eye roll.
After the meeting broke up, Quasar started over for security, a safe choice, good for both sabotages and just straight up ambushes. But as he was about halfway there, he noticed Pink trailing him. Obnoxious, for sure, but not a problem if they were the only two in Security. As luck would have it, they were and Quasar made his move.
After killing Pink, he made sure to move away as soon as possible. The safest possible place would be someplace populated, like Electrical, he thought. As long as he made it to somewhere with everyone else, he wouldn’t draw too much attention. He knew better than to do too much venting.
But when he noticed Orange kicking back in Nuclear, he knew his strategy had gone very, very wrong. As soon as he started tailing him, Quasar knew for a fact that he had seen.
“Don’t think I didn’t see,” Orange said, clamoring around him.
“That’s rich coming from someone who didn’t think I could do anything earlier,” Quasar said. “Don’t be obnoxious, man. Either report me or don’t.”
Quasar sighed. Real life friends were the worst to play with. So he took the easiest method and just “reported” Orange. Since he took extra efforts to not draw too much attention to himself, it was a cinch to convince them to vote Orange off.
It was worth it, too, even though Crewmates ultimately won, to get back at his friend for being obnoxious.
“Up for another round?” His friend typed.
It made Quasar a little bit happy that his friend had waited for him. He had his flaws, but over all, he was a decent person and a good friend.
“You bet, but don’t get cocky, mate.”
Nothing beat a good rivalry between friends.

Imposter again. Quasar loved getting Imposter, made the game much more fun, and he’d be lying if he said he hadn’t left a few games after getting assigned Crewmate. Orange, this time, was a Crewmate.
“You an imposter?” Asked Orange.
“Like I’m going to tell you even if I was, you clown,” he typed back. “No.”
Things were going fine until Quasar was the only imposter left. Now, he’d have to take some risks or risk losing altogether. He broke one of his cardinal rules, avoiding venting. He had only ever run into problems being caught when venting. Pink was the one to catch him.
“Orange can vouch for me,” Quasar typed in, hoping his friend would back him up. “We’ve been together the whole time.
“Can I? C:<,” his friend wrote.
“You little weasel!.... up for a rematch?” Quasar wrote after the game ended.
“You bet I am, but don’t expect me to help you out if you get caught,” he replied.
“Trust me, with you, I don’t expect anything. XD,” he wrote back.
The Bros’ Playlist
Bad Reputation— Joan Jett Both these guys get in a ton of trouble together (especially at school) and are each other’s wingman, so this song is their anthem!
This is War—Ben Kweller Just a straight-up great rivalry song. Kind of sums up their “one-upping” and witty banter well.
My Life is a Party— Italo Brothers Is there anything more of a party than getting together with The Boys? These two spend most of their time gaming, making viral videos, and just straight up being weird and having fun together. They’re a classic pair and this song highlights their good times.
Dynamite—Taio Cruz Nothing says late nights, pizza, and gaming like Dynamite. These guys stay up until the break of dawn blasting this one. These guys have known each other since kithood and are the best of friends, practically brothers, so they like to live it up whenever they see each other.
