Ruby returned shortly, dragging Penny behind her.
"Penny, good to see you back. How did you end up on the second floor, anyway?" Orb asked, preparing the next viewing.
Penny shrugged. "I got lost. Hic!" She said, covering her mouth. Orb gave her a side eyed look before starting up the screen again. Penny sat down in between ironwood and winter and team RWBY. Orb looked around, hoping to see that everyone was there.
RWBY and NPR? Check
Ozpin and said inner circle? Check
Cinder and her lackeys? Check
Roman and Neo? Check
Penny? Check
Sun and Neptune? Check
Sienna Khan and Adam Tarus? Check
It looks like everyone was here. That means that they could start the show.
"Before we start, this world is where Jaune is a gamer, playing a game of deceit and suspicion." Orb said, as many of the group members nodded.
The scene opened up to a screen of a computer, that was obviously either a stream or a video. Jaune's face was in the top right corner, a headset on his head.
His bean looking character was yellow, with a chest plate covering the lower half and little stubby armored legs. A tiny yellow man followed him as he walked around, and a post-it note spelling "DUM" was attached to his space beans visor. "ArcAngle" was the yellow bean's name . He sat alone for awhile, until a red space bean with a cone on their head popped up in the waiting room. The red bean was labeled as "Cr3c3nt-r0se"
"Hi ruby!" Jaune said, doing a little dance side to side. Ruby did the same, greeting Jaune with her usual cheeriness. A pink bean with a viking helmet entered, Who's name was just NORA!. She joined in on the dance
"No need for any guess on who that is." Pyrrha said, giving Nora an elbow.
After that, several people entered the lobby. Yang as orange, Sun as white, Ren as a dark green and Wiess as a dark blue. Pyrrha was Cyan and Blake was black. Velvet had also joined, being a brown bean with bunny ears. "Do we have everyone?" Ruby asked.
"I think we do. I'm starting the game, alright?" Jaune said, receiving a chorus of yeses. The game went to Mira HQ, an air platform.
"An air platform? Like Atlas?" Ironwood asked, remembering what Atlas was at it's beginning.
"Much smaller, but yes. They go on to build a similar city to Atlas, but that's not important."
Ozpin noted something. "This is the first time we've seen Velvet, isn't it?"
"Huh. I guess it is." Glynda confirmed, thinking about it. She had not seen the rabbit faunus in any previous scenes
The screen dropped with the blue Crewmate, showing everyone on the screen. There are two imposters among us.
"Right, time to go." Jaune said, running his little yellow bean man around. He did some tasks, connecting wires and pulling leaves out of the air into a garbage chute.
It was then that the screen flashed red, A black body cut in half. They went into the meeting screen.
"Ok, who killed Blake?" Sun said, almost disappointed.
Jaune sighed. "Ok, first, where was the body Ren?"
"Down in shields, right next to the vent." Ren said. Jaune nodded.
"Ok, I was in O2 collecting leaves. I saw Yang and Pyrrha pass me, Yang going into Navigation and Pyrrha going down to shields."
"That puts Pyrrha in a suspect position, doesn't it." Ren said.
Orb nodded
Nora hummed in an exaggerated manner. "I don't know P-money, that seems pretty sus."
"It's not me!" Pyrrha said indignantly. There was some general squabbling and throwing of sus around for a moment as Jaune remained silent. "Guys, we don't have enough information to vote anyone out yet, so let's skip the vote and continue doing tasks."
Yang and Nora voted for Pyrrha, but most skipped.
"What, why did you guys vote for me?" Pyrrha complained as the screen returned to the playing screen once more.
Jaune sighed, rubbing his face. "Nora and Yang are always such wild cards." the yellow bean ran back around to the medbay. Then there was a bright flashing of red lights
Ruby made a shocked face. "Wait, what's going on? Why are the lights flashing?" She asked, concerned.
"It's a game mechanic. Imposters can sabotage various things that do various things, like the lights."
Ruby nodded, understanding. Imposters always had tricks up their sleeves.
Jaune walked towards the Admin room, where he saw Sun standing over Yang's dead body. "Ohhh, budy." Jaune said, clicking the report button.
The meeting room popped up
Neptune laughed, elbowing sun in the ribs. "You done goofed now, Sun!"
Sun just groaned.
"So, I found Sun, in Admin by the O2, standing right over Yang's dead body." jaune said.
Sun made an indignant sound. "Hey! That's not true! You self reported that body!" he said, trying to flip the tables.
Wiess had something to say about that. "But Sun was standing over the body! How can he expect anyone else to believe that?"
Orb shook his head at Wiess's closed mind. "No one else knows that, Wiess. All they saw was that Jaune called a meeting."
Jaune sighed. "Sun, that is bullshit. I saw you standing over Yang's body in Admin, right by O2!"
"I did see both Sun and Yang enter O2 on cameras" Ren said calmly. It was at that moment that everyone started throwing suspicions around.
"It's got to be Jaune. He was close enough to both bodies to have done it." Wiess said
Ruby countered. "But Sun can't be placed for Blake's death, and I saw Jaune do tasks in the Cafeteria."
That led to even more squabbing among them. Jaune and Ren just stayed quiet mostly, saying something when they found a chance.
The voting phase came, and the arguing was still going.
"Jesus christ, they're tearing each other apart, and there only two bodies." jaune sighed, clicking on Sun as the voting screen came on.
"WHO ARE WE VOTING?!" Nora cried.
Wiess cried out with a "Jaune!" Ruby and Pyrrha defended him, calling to vote sun.
Ironwood just sighed. "My god, this is worse than a council meeting." He said, rubbing his temples at the bickering. While the group was clearly having fun and not taking this particularly seriously, they were still squabbling.
Qrow sipped more alcohol. "Children." he thought.
The vote came in as an even tie, with Nora and Velvet abstaining for some reason.
"That seems kinda sus, Nora." Ruby said as the screen returned to play.
Jaune proceeded to hit his head against his desk. "I am surrounded by Idiots." he said as he returned to running around as a little bean. He ran to cameras , checking on Pyrrha, Ren, Wiess and Velvet on his way there.
"Ok, Pyrrha and Ren are in Medbay, Wiess is in the upper Engine going to Reactor, and Velvet is doing wires." Jaune noted as he hopped on to cameras.
Sun was running around in storage, looking lost. Jaune saw Pyrrha pass down to Lower engine, where she was joined by Wiess.
Jaune saw Pyrrha come back up from there. "Wiess is dead, isn't she?"
Wiess looked personally offended, glaring at the Champion. Pyrrha raised her hands in mock surrender. "I'm sorry!" the redhead said out of instinct.
"Come on Weiss Cream, it's just a game. Don't get cold about it."
Wiess glared at Yang, trying to find a way to murder the punster with looks alone.
Jaune walked down to the room, where lo and behold, Wiess's corpse, chopped in half, lay.
The meeting was called with jaune pressing the button. "Pyrrha, I have one question."
"Yes Jaune?" Pyrrha squeaked, clearly having been got.
"Why did you murder Wiess?" Juane asked, like a disappointed parent.
Pyrrha made a squawk. "I did not murder Wiess! I'm shocked you would say such a thing!"
Jaune's face turned to one of suspect and bruh-ness. "Pyrrha, I saw you and Wiess enter lower reactor, you almost immediately after, and Wiess never leaves. I go down into lower reactor, and what do I find? Wiess's dead body. BOOM!"
There was more squabbling as several people called to vote the champion out.
"Before we decide to vote out a possible innocent person, Pyrrha, what did you see?"
"Umm, I saw Wiess walk in with me, I did uhh, a task and left. I passed by Jaune and then the meeting was called." Pyrrha said.
"Oh? And which task did you do?" Ruby said, hamming the line.
Pyrrha floundered. "uhh...The beepity boop one, with the numbers" she finally fibbed.
Everyone was fairly unimpressed with the champion.
"You are a terrible liar, you know that, right?" Roman said, shaking his head. There was an art to lying, and the Champion had no experience in it whatsoever.
"Yes." Pyrrha said, hiding her steaming red face in her hands. "I'm sorry."
"Pyr…" Nora started, sounding sus. "The number boopity thingy is in the specimen room, not lower engine…"
Pyrrha made a groaning sound akin to loosing a game of poker.
She was subsequently voted off by pretty much everyone.
Pyrrha_Plays was ejected.
Pyrrha_Plays was the imposter.
One imposter remains.
"Boys. We got her." Sun said as everyone returned to their tasks. Jaune returned to the cameras, watching Sun run around on the right side with Ren and Nora. Ruby was in center, uploading something. This went on for several moments, Jaune voicing his thoughts out out loud. "Hrmmm, Sun is still very sus, but Ren's kind of creeping on people."
Nora admonished Ren with a punch. "Bad Renny! No creeping on people."
After several minutes of this, with Ruby walking in on jaune every once and awhile, where the two do a "dance" where they bounce from side to side. Jaune left to go looking for bodies when he noted the green taskbar The green taskbar had just one thing left when a meeting was called.
"Guys I saw Ruby Vent!" Sun cried out.
Ruby made a gasp. "I did not! I saw you vent in electrical! You vented to the cafeteria!"
"Ruby! There is no vent from electrical to the Cafeteria!"
This caused ruby to sputter. "But-but"
"There is a vent from electrical to medbay." Jaune pointed out. "And The distance to the button from the Medbay is much shorter than the distance from Electrical to the button"
Neptune nudged his partner. "You got caught, man."
Sun just sighed. "That's just bad luck" the monkey defended.
Everyone was sceptical of that.
"Wait, how long has Ren and Velvet been dead?" Nora asked as her, Jaune and Ruby voted for Sun, who had tried in vain to get ruby ejected.
He fell into the sky.
Sun_m0nkey was ejected
Sun_m0nkey was an imposter.
After that, there was a title screen drop of Victory in blue, with everyone besides Sun and Pyrrha there. All of the people that did not survive were ghosts.
"So they won?" Nora asked, a little sad that there was so little action and violence.
Orb hummed. "For that round, yes. I was planning on showing another with Jaune as the imposter. Should I?" Orb asked the group.
There was a lot of head shaking.
"Alright then. I'll show something different."
I apologize. I know that you all wanted Jaune running mind games, but this took way to long and the majority of the game is conversation, which in my experience is unintelligible squabbling. I'm moving on to some other ideas. I might return to this, but who knows?
I was just a little disappointed that no one wanted a continuation of another universe_
