The among us series rp

ORANGE: FUN! ENGAGEMENT! FUN-GAGEMENT! Here at MIRA Corporation, the company culture is so fun-gaging, it will have you making up words. slides onto the screen Hi, I'm Orange! Don't think of me as your HR rep, think of me as your HR family.

GREEN: Whoa!

ORANGE: The good folks here at MIRA have discovered a brand-new, very fun energy source that we like to call Ore+. Your mission is to get our highly valuable Ore+ from this asteroid all the way to our fun-tastic refining facility on Industria.

ORANGE: First things first, now is a great time to pause the tape and introduce yourself to anyone else in the room with you.

(Green pauses the tape and turns to White.)

GREEN: Hi, I'm Green. You're White, aren't you? I think I saw you on TV.

WHITE: I get that a lot, because I'm on TV a lot. Probably because of all my hard work.

GREEN: Hard work? Like what?

WHITE: Hoo, boy, let me tell you. One day, I was walking down the street, completely minding my own business, when suddenly, out of nowhere, my parents offered me a board member role at their pharmaceutical company. Then, while summering, as a verb, on my yacht, my sommelier, whose name I don't recall, presented me the cork, and on the underside was, you guessed it, a winning ride on this very ship. So, pretty much the same kind of thing that happens to everyone. What's your equally as enterprising life's story?

GREEN: I'm an unpaid intern.

WHITE: Anything else?

GREEN: Oh, I grew up on a worm farm.

WHITE: Oh, how rustic.

(Green tries to unpause the tape, but accidentally begins fast forwarding through it instead.)

WHITE: Ooh, that's a... that's a lot of information.

GREEN: Uh, just a second here.

(Green finally manages to unpause the tape, but most of it has already been fast forwarded.)

ORANGE: ...by combining your sick and paid days.

(The elevator reaches The Skeld.)

ORANGE: And finally, to give you a personalized tour of the ship, I want to introduce you to...

(The door opens AND pushes steam into the elevator. The monitor moves out of the way.)

ORANGE: Me, but now I'm real. Welcome to The Skeld! We're so happy to have you amongst us. Or is it "among us"? I always forget which one is grammatically...

(The intro card appears and the intro plays. The title card is shown.)

Trust Ball

(Green and White are quietly clapping while Orange is now holding a Trust Ball.)

ORANGE: That's right, it's me. Now, when you catch the trust ball, you have to say a fun fact about yourself. My fun fact is that I have two different pairs of shoes! One for normal day wear, and one for when I'm feeling sumptuous.

(Orange throws the trust ball to White.)

WHITE: Uh, it doesn't matter how much sleep I get, I always awaken feeling well-rested and ready to start the day.

(White tosses the ball to Green, who fiddles while trying to catch it and drops it. They pick it up and sit back down.)

GREEN: Uh, well, I grew up in a pretty poor area, but everyone back home believed in my dream to one day become a captain. So, the whole town pooled their meager resources to send me off to school in order to...

ORANGE: Wow, what a unique dream to have. Now, everybody already knows you're both coming, so let's start our meet and greet

The Geologist Duo

(The three leave the elevator and enter Storage. Green almost bumps into Black, who is carrying a container full of Ore+.)

GREEN: Whoa!

BLACK: Excuse me.

ORANGE: Sometimes, your unpaid internship will mean you work in here with Black and Cyan, our two geologists.

CYAN: Namaste.

BLACK: I'm a geologist, Cyan is a gemologist.

ORANGE: That's not what the paperwork says.

BLACK: Well, the paperwork is bullsh— threatens Orange with a pipe

ORANGE: Ooh! Got to go.

The Engineer

(Orange immediately skedaddles to the Reactor with Green and White.)

WHITE: Whoa, whoa. chuckles Get out of my way.

ORANGE: And here's the Reactor room. Sometimes your duties will require you to fix the—

(Suddenly, Lime pops out of the vent shouting, causing the other three to scream.)

LIME: Finally, the Reactor room. Those damn gremlins must be turning the vents around. pulls out a jar of water Got to flush them out with some holy water.

ORANGE: This is Lime, our engineer.

LIME: I'm also an ordained minister.

WHITE: Oh. Uh, why are you in the vent?

LIME: What are you, a cop?

WHITE: No, but I'm friends with cops. I'm friends with all kinds of people. Landlords, influencers, politician's children, people who green-light live-action versions of animated movies, people who watch live-action...

LIME: I ain't got time for you jaw-waggers. goes back into the vent Get this out of here. Come on— ow! distant grunting

ORANGE: Uh, L-Lime is out most unambiguous crewmate.

WHITE and GREEN: nod Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm.

The Head of Security... or Not

(They walk across the hall into the Security room.)

ORANGE: Next up is Purple, who should be...

(Nobody is there, and a tumbleweed blows past.)

ORANGE: Oh, well, I guess not. Darn. We'll just have to skip to the next crewmate, who I like the same amount as everyone else.

The Hot Doctor

(They go up, to the right, and enter MedBay.)

ORANGE: Oh! chuckles Hello, Doctor.

(The screen moves to Blue, who was putting something away in a filing cabinet. When they turn to the screen, lovey effects appear.)

BLUE: Hello.

ORANGE: Uh... blushes, then tosses the Trust Ball to Blue Trust Ball?

BLUE: After my time building structurally sound homes for the unhoused in Northern Yeniria, I found that trust isn't given, it's built. tosses the ball back, but it hits Green

GREEN: You're the most attractive person I've ever seen.

ORANGE: Let's not objectify the hot doctor.

The Chefs

(Orange leads Green and White to the Cafeteria.)

ORANGE: And this is the Cafeteria. I think maybe we can skip this very boring, very fair working environment.

GREEN: looking around Oh, Wow-ee, wow-wow.

(The camera pans to the kitchen, where two chefs, Brown and Yellow, are making a pizza.)

YELLOW: Say, Brown, looks like Orange got that new intern.

BROWN: Mm-hmm.

YELLOW: How many beans you being paid, intern?

ORANGE: chuckles We don't need to discuss our rate of beans...

YELLOW: leaves the kitchen Discussion of wages is protected speech. throws Orange into the kitchen

ORANGE: Whoa!

(Brown leaves the kitchen and joins Yellow.)

YELLOW: Come on, Green, spill on three.

ORANGE: Oh, are you putting salt on this pizza? I love salt!

YELLOW: One, two, three.

YELLOW and GREEN: Nothing, you're/I'm an unpaid intern.

YELLOW: Mm-hmm walks up to Orange and grabs the Trust Ball Give me that.

ORANGE: gasps

YELLOW: Unpaid internships favor the wealthy while being a capitalist exploitation of inexperienced workers under the guise of helping them achieve their personal and financial dreams. throws the Trust Ball to Brown

BROWN: Preach.

ORANGE: takes the trust ball back from Brown That's enough indoctrination for now. Bye. pushes Green and White out of the Cafeteria

GREEN: What's a capitalist?

WHITE: Me!

ORANGE: walking to the next location Okay, you two, looks like we've got the big one coming up.

The Captain

(In the hallway, Purple hears them approaching and hides in O2.)

GREEN: Oh, you mean...?

ORANGE: You bet. The Captain!

GREEN: Oh, gosh. Oh, gosh, oh, gosh, oh, gosh. The captain! I'm so excited, my legs just started running without my brain's input.

(Green runs to Navigation, stopping just in the corridor. Inside, we see Captain Red, talking to a figure on a screen.)

RED: Thank you, MIRA HQ, I'll get the Ore+ to Industria on time with no losses, over and out. presses some buttons which launches The Skeld

GREEN: takes off their hat Wow.

RED: chuckles soflty Ahoy there.

GREEN: Oh, my gosh. Permission to come aboard?

RED: laughs Permission granted. Uh, Here. I'll take that trust ball.

ORANGE: gives Red the Trust Ball

RED: I'm Red, Captain of The Skeld. Shipping Ore+ across the galaxy is a lot of responsibility, but someone's got to do it, and that someone is me... the captain. Captain Red. Captain of The Skeld. Me.

GREEN: I am so excited to be here! I want to fly a ship of my own someday.

RED: chuckles Well, why wait? Anybody in this room want to try piloting the ship?

(Green walks up to the chair, but White pushes them out of the way.)

WHITE: Sure.

GREEN: sigh

WHITE: Ooh, hot damn, I feel like one of my chauffeurs. Whoo, here we go. hums and laughs Oh-oh, look out.

(Purple finally engages with the others and walks into the room.)

PURPLE: Hey, Captain, there seems to be— Whoa! Is the contest winner flying the ship?

RED: Purple. laughs Yes. Uh, uh, they're doing it for a very captain-ly reason that I-I will say soon.

ORANGE: Oh! This is Purple, our Head of Security.

PURPLE: Yeah, hi. Is that allowed? Seems kind of irresponsible.

RED: pulls out a Captain's Handbook Irresponsible... uh, G, H, I... uh, irresponsible. I don't see anything in the manual. stammers I mean, I don't see any reason why not. puts their handbook away and chuckles weakly Or, uh, maybe the unpaid intern should be flying the ship?

PURPLE: You should be flying the ship.

RED: That doesn't sound right.

PURPLE: groan Okay. I just came to say there seem to be a lot of security issues. Cameras don't record, they're in black and white and—

RED: I'm sure it'll be fine, Purps. We're just going to Industria.

GREEN: Yeah, Purps, we're just going to Industria.

PURPLE: Well, I can't exactly do the job that you're asking me to do without this stuff—

A Problem Arises

(Suddenly, The Skeld starts jolting and shaking.)

RED: Oh my God.

COMPUTER: Alert. Hull breach. Comms compromised.

RED: Huh! We've struck an asteroid.

COMPUTER: Alert. Critical systems compromised

WHITE: Oh, this kind of thing happens to me all the time. Don't worry. Someone will fix it.

PURPLE: We have to fix it!

(The group heads to Storage ,along with the other crewmates. As they enter the door, the air sucks Lime across the floor, making their wrench falls into space. Lime grabs onto the door.)

LIME: grunts

PURPLE: Shut the door to the Storage Room!

RED: No! We got to save the Ore+!

(Black is hanging on a wall, gripping a handle, trying to seal the doors with a pad.)

BLACK: grunts The emergency seals aren't working!

(Yellow trips and is almost sucked into the outside if Brown didn't grab them.)

YELLOW and BROWN: groaning

(Orange and Green get sucked to the side into a container, which makes Orange lose grip of their Trust Ball. It pops and covers a smaller hole next to the big one.)

BLUE: hanging on for dear life Orange. Where are the rest of your Trust Balls?

ORANGE: Rest of my Trust Balls? What are you talking about? I only have one!

(Everyone else scolds Orange simultaneously.)

ORANGE: Okay, okay!

(Orange takes the tarp of the container they got knocked into, revealing it to be full of Trust Balls.)

BLUE: Dump those balls!

ORANGE: tries pushing the container It's too heavy!

(Black lets go of the handle to join Orange. Cyan and Red walk over. The 4 of them start pushing until it falls over, dumping Trust Balls into the hole, where they pop and seal it.)

ALL: cheering

BLUE: Wow. You've all done really well. I'm so impressed with our teamwork today. You've made me proud.

(The others clap.)

RED: Well, I thought the same thing. I-I thought the same thing. I'm the captain, so... me, too. chuckles weakly I also said that.

(The others clap again, but way less enthusiastically.)

The Pizza Party Where Nothing Bad Happens

(The scene cuts to later, where a pizza party is being held at the Cafeteria. A streamer saying "WE'RE NOT DEAD" hangs overhead. Red and Green chat while holding drinks, Purple is in the corner, Black and Blue are at a table on the left, Orange is alone on the right, and Yellow, Brown, and Cyan are at the center table.)

RED: Oh, you know, Green, if you want to be like me, you got to stop being green.

GREEN: chuckles

LIME: takes a slice into the vent Mm. chuckles

YELLOW: It's prosciutto, fig, and uh... groans

YELLOW and BROWN: Bulgreecian feta.

CYAN: whoops Twin souls! You must be Geminis! brings Yellow and Brown's fingers together Boop!

ORANGE: now chatting with Red So, Comms are down, the Reactor is on the fritz, and it's going to take us one extra week to get to Industria? Mm, I'm afraid I'll have to report this to MIRA HQ. And it doesn't look good, Red.

RED: R-Report? chuckles weakly Oh, what's to report? It's just a little cosmetic damage. We'll get there, no biggie. chuckles And, uh... walks over to Purple Oh, hey. Hey, Purps. chuckles There you are. Purps. Ah!

PURPLE: *whispering( Oh, damn it. tries walking away I don't see them. I don't see them. I don't see them.

RED: P-P-P-P-P-Purps.

PURPLE: whispers I don't see them. I don't see them. I don't— hits a wall Oh. groans

RED: Isn't it wild I'm captain now?

PURPLE: Mm-hmm.

RED: So uh, how's the job I got you?

PURPLE: Come on, just stop. We don't have to do this.

RED: Hey, I am the captain. I'm just seeing how my crew is.

PURPLE: Well, I'm fine, so... I'll see you later.

GREEN: Hey, has anyone seen White? They came with me on the ship. Everyone loved them. White? White?

WHITE: enters the room shaking

GREEN: Oh. There you are.

(White weakly wobbles around, groaning and gurgling until they stop. Their head splits of from their body. Their blood goes on the "not" part of the streamer to say "WE'RE DEAD.)

ALL: screaming

Also, you pick a character, not an oc, so which one aré you?
