Something funny
I've done this challenge several times, but I always like seeing what people come up with so I keep doing it! Basically, just write something funny: a dumb joke, something sarcastic, a short funny scene, etc. I'm in the mood to laugh, plus life has been boring lately and laughing cures boredom (in my opinion) so yeah. Please tag me in the comments, I'm excited to see what you come up with!!!!!!!

Among Us

Ok. I do not expect this to win, and I do not expect this to be very funny, but it was funny to me so shut up.

Yesterday my brother introduced me to this new game called Among Us. I don’t usually play video games, but this one seemed interesting. Basically, it’s a murder mystery. You and your friends are on a spaceship, doing various tasks to keep it running. Meanwhile one (or sometimes two) people are secretly working against you, murdering people and sabotaging the ship. If you come across a murdered person you can report it, in which case everybody goes to the meeting room to figure out who did it. There is a period of discussion, followed by a vote. The person voted off... dies.

I join the game. There are a bunch of my brother’s friends who I don’t know. The screen comes up - I am a murderer.

*well this should be interesting*

I have no idea what I’m supposed to do, so I walk into the first random room I see. There is no one around but my brother.

*look around, no one there, stab brother*

The one game rule that I actually know is that the murderer can make use of vents in the floor to move around undetected. There happened to be a vent right next to me.

*hop in vent. Upstairs, brother extremely annoyed*

Once in the vent, I didn’t know how to exit so I clicked random things until I managed to find the nearest vent and get out.

*coast clear, nobody saw*

Now remember, I have no idea where anything is.

*head right, for absolutely no reason. Enter room*

I look around, and I see my brother’s dead body. I ran directly to the place I had just so masterfully escaped. I enter full panic mode at this point, because at any moment someone could enter the room and see me standing over a dead body and not reporting it.

*report the body that I just killed*

“you guys, I just found a dead body and I am so scared, I have no idea what’s going on, I just clicked this button and now we’re in a meeting room, what’s happening?”

*all of my brother’s friends being condescending about my lack of knowledge*

Long story short, nobody suspected me and I won, despite having escaped the murder scene and then walked right back in.
