Work Text:
So far, White had been loving this little space get away. The people that were also on the ship varied in personality, and they didn't often interact with their kind. Currently it seemed they we're throwing a party for fixing the hole in the ship caused by the asteroid... that white caused, but surely no one was mad at THAT small mistake
White currently was talking to Blue, the very hot doctor, while lightly twirling his wine, having a grand old time.
"You are very multi talented doctor, I must say" white complimented someone for once, it was impressive to have a doctrine in poetry, helped make shelters for the homeless, AND have a PHD in medicine, even white had to admit that
"oh, it's nothing really, those are just stages of my life that have already happened, and they're many more to come out of life" Blue said, with a soft chuckle
Meanwhile White noticed Purple, the head of security, looking for something, they would ask what was going on but they were both to rich to care and it be rude to leave a conversation. Luckily Cyan walked up to red and placed their hand on their shoulder
"What wrong purple? You look worried" they asked, voice full of concern.
Purple sighed before they spoke, sounding worried "I haven't seen Orange since Red announced this party... same with that unpaid intern now that I think about it"
"It's probably fine Purps, if their both un accounted for, then Orange is showing the intern around the ship more. If I renmeber correctly I don't think they showed communication, sheilds, or the engine room" Red said as he tried to reassured Purple, wrapping their arm (hand?) around the others shoulder but was promptly pushed off
Suddenly Orange entered the room, but no green accompanying them "sorry if I worried you all, I was just helping Green find the cleaning supplies. What happened earlier sure did leave storage in quiet a mess" they said in the same cheery tone they had used when White and green first met them.
Yet White had a strange feeling in their gut, why did that sound almost like an alibi for something. But the thought didn't last long when White realize they were thinking just like that other worker, what was their name? It was another green person... fortgreen? It didn't really matter, right?
"Good to see ya Orange, how about we just sit back, relax, and have fun, it's a party after all!" Red said as he wrapped his hand (arm?) around orange this time
"Well actually captain I need to talk to White" Orange said, making white choke in some of their wine "but don't think I won't get back to you mister, you should've prevented that whole catastrophe" Orange followed up with to Red, making tbe captain worried
White coughed while he nearly choked, blue patting his back to help him breath properly. He hated when his actions had consequences (ha! America wizard refrence!), but he knew that the faster he got this over with, the faster they can continue having fun
White sighed as he walked up to orange "Fine... let's get this over with" they said as they started to follow Orange
Orange and White walked through the halls of the skeld, at first it was a minute of silent before Orange spoke up. "You know you caused a lot of damages, right?" They asked, their voiced slightly annoyed yet tried to keep that happy tone
"Oh come on, it can't be that bad" White retorted, their visor showing just how annoyed he qas about this conversation. Of course the HR manager of all people would scold him
"White, there is a hole in the wall that we had to seal up with my trust balls since the emergency seals aren't working. Not to mention communications are down, so we can't contact anyone till we get it fixed"
Hearing all that made White flinch, that did sound pretty bad, them hitting a asteroid caused all that damage?
Eventually they stopped at storage, Orange pointed at the wall now covered with popped trust balls. "Now do you see how severe the damages are?" Orange asked, their tone keeping that anger yet still trying to keep up the happy act
White just looker away, not wanting to he in this conversation any longer then he had to be. Orange spoke up again their voice starting to actually sound happy then the fake version from before. "it's not going to be easy to pay for the damage you've caused."
"Whatever, my dad will just deal with it." White groaned out, about to walk away before Orange grabbed their hand
"No, your only option is to become one of us." Orange said as they let go of the other crewmates hand. The context White thought the HR manager ment was a utterly ridiculous concept.
"What, like an employee? Ugh, I am not a laborur..." White said, but he trailed off when Orange started... laughing? What was so funny White wondered, and the laughing started to creep them out.
"Hahaha... No" Orange simply said before the most disturbing sight White ever saw, causing him to draw his wine, the glass shattering the moment it touched the ground. Orange's body started to turn into something words couldn't describe. It was like... if a wad of gum was made of flesh and the owners of said flesh were alive.
White tried to run away but one of Orange's tentacles wrapped around their throat, lifting the crewmate in the air as they tried so desperately to escape
The tentacles grip on white was tight yet loose enough where he can still breath enough to survive. White was about to lose hope when Green walked in. Thank the heavens, they were saved
Green then grabbed a piece of the ore+ while they spoke, their words terrifying White. "I still think we should just kill them. We don't need a third, they'd just get in the way." Green said with a voice full of annoyance, far from their happy go lucky attitude.
"wh...what are– wha" White tried to speak but his throat was being practically strangled and crushed, causing his words to be strained. Green was... working with Orange? The realization of that absolutely terrifying White
"Tsk tsk, this is the safest option for ensuring our success. I know you just love killing, but our goal comes first" Orange says with her cheery tone while White starts to tear up.
Green rolled his eyes (eye? Visor) simply saying: "ugh, fineee" with a groan as he broke open a piece of ore+, revealing anothwr alien like creature. Green then started to walk towards White who was struggling with terror in a futile effort to escape
Red was in the cafeteria, trying to have a conversation with Purple. It was a close call what happened earlier in storage. If they didn't act that quickly who knows what would've happened to the ore+.
But seeing everyone together, talking, alive, it really made him feel better about his insecurity of being captain. And everyone was doing what red kinda expected, yellow and brown were hanging out, talking about the ingredients they use for pizza, Cyan was trying to be friendly with Black who was annoyed about the interaction, Blue was sitting next to a vent talking to lime who was trying to seem like he wasn't there (blime mentioned lol).
Though Orange and White had been gone for almost 10 minutes, though that growing concern was almost immediately shattered when White, Orange, and Green entered the room
"We're back! Just needed to talk to White about the damages. Also Green managed to clean a good amount of storage, already doing a splendid job!" Orange said as they held their clipboard.
"Aw, thanks! It's part of my job as a unpaid intern after all!" Green said, staying humble as he always seems to be
White rolled his eyes (visor?) "I still think it could've been worst" the contest winner said as he grabbed another wine glass, though red could've sworn they had one when they left to talk to orange, maybe they just dropped it. Yeah, that's it...
Funfacts about imposter white:
Despite how the real White seemed to like wine, imposter White hates the taste but is forced to drink it so he isn't caught.
The aliens real personality is basically like harley quinn, very unhinged, but is a great actor.
Would survive just as long as imposter green
Instead of purple asking what white sounded like like in Canon, they would've said something like 'so which of you two will get to kill me' causing a fight
Wouldn't explode from salt in the end but would get thrown into space when the trust ball wall was removed.
Imposter White and green kinda have a Harley quinn and joker relationship, where while White admires greens strategic plan, Green dosent care for White one bit.
Would be revealed at the same time as green, but when red attacked green, so white attacks him in that one kill animation with the mouth opening
