Made this for @CinnamonrollKitty’s Sanrio Cat Studios. CW: Mentions of death. This story is based on Among Us. Sienna is a new member of the crew on board the *Star Chaser* spaceship. Amethyst, seeing an opportunity to spare lives, selects Sienna as the unknowing impostor. Amethyst knows the curse will show Sienna their role eventually, but she constantly fights to keep Sienna from seeing the clues. Electrum soon ends up pulling Sienna aside and telling them that every time the *Star Chaser* has flown, there has been an impostor among the crew who tries to kill them all. Sienna is horrified to learn that there will be an impostor, but they immediately begin investigating, searching for clues of someone sneaking around. Eventually, Sienna decides that Moss, Ivory, Electrum, Sage, Lotus, Ruby, and Cobalt are not impostors. They form a closer group with Sage and Moss, and the three of them continue investigating- until two Earth days before the ship is going to return. That’s when Sienna’s impostor alter ego takes over, just long enough to shapeshift into Ebony... and kill Cobalt. But here’s the thing: unlike the other times when the impostor curse has tried to overtake Sienna’s mind, this time they *remember.* Sienna realizes that they can’t reveal their identity because they’ll be ejected from the crew. So they try to fight back the curse, and keep it from doing any more damage, but the more they try, the more they fail. First Lotus, then Ruby, then Sunny is found dead. Amethyst quickly realizes from the sudden killing spree that Sienna has discovered the truth, so she tries to pull them aside to explain, but it only arouses more and more suspicion of her. Finally, after realizing she has something important to say, Sienna (knowing Amethyst can’t be the impostor, obviously) manages to talk to Amethyst in private and listen to her. Here are Amethyst’s words: "Sienna, I know you’re the impostor. Don’t look so surprised; it’s my fault. I’m sorry. But I chose you because... well, you’re new, and I didn’t think anyone would tell you so soon. But anyway, you need to know- now that you’ve got at least one kill... if you don’t kill absolutely everyone by the end of the mission, *you will die.*" Sienna is shocked and confused. They stutter and try to speak, but Amethyst cuts them off, saying: "Wait. I have an idea. This gem I’m always wearing? I found it on the ship one time. It’s cursed. I have to choose the impostor every mission. If I do that, I’m safe no matter the suspicion. But if I take it off or don’t choose an impostor, it’ll make the pilot call a meeting and I’ll be ejected, back onto the ground. So here’s my idea. If I take off the gem, the curse might- *might*- leave you. But it’s a risk." Amethyst gravely waits for Sienna’s answer, as the information sinks in. Finally, slowly, Sienna nods. And the plan works perfectly- Sienna is no longer cursed! But Amethyst is never heard from anywhere again.
