Among Us Logic: The Legend of Novisor/Transcript

Communications is Synced
(In The Skeld with the lights down, Player runs

Player: God, I can't see anything! Better turn on my flashlight.

(Player turns on his flashlight and sees Veteran right in front of him.)

Player and Veteran: (in sync) AAAAAAH! Wait! Shhh! Don't you know that Novisor's on the loose? He'll kill us all! Hey, quit saying everything that I'm saying. Me? You're the one who's copying! OK, I'm gonna say something totally random to get us out of sync. Jellyfish! Angelica Houston! Blacksmith statues and contract tournament restitution 2012 to 2013! Wow, I'm not even mad anymore. This is just insane at this point. But seriously, stop. No you! Seriously. Dude, stop!

Veteran: Fine, but mostly because I'm terrified of Novisor hunting us down and trapping us in this game forever.

Player: So the rumors are true, huh? There really is a ghost wandering the halls of the Skeld looking for new victims?

Veteran: Yeah. And not some regular ghost that helps do tasks and stuff. A real legit ghost. A forgotten soul that wades here between our world and the afterlife.

Player: That's too spoopy, man.

Veteran: Thing is, he wasn't always that way. Novisor used to be a regular guy, just like you or me.

Player: Really? I've never heard that part of the story before.

Not Among Us
(Aiden is walking through a flea market.)

Veteran: It all started with a young college student named Aiden that was doing some shopping out at a flea market. See, this guy don't have a lot of money, but he needed to find a working PC for homework and other stuff.

Player: Like video games?

Veteran: Right.

(Aiden stops at a stall and sees an unbranded computer with a mouse on the table. He wipes a layer of dust off it.)

Veteran: He thought he might be able to find something for a decent price there. Too bad in the end, he paid the ultimate price.

Aiden: Wow, look at this piece of junk.

(Duncan appears from behind a cardboard box.)

Duncan: It may not look like much, but this thing has many of the latest advancements in gaming technology.

Aiden: Uh, cool! So you're the guy that's selling this thing? What kind of computer is it? I don't see any branding.

Duncan: That's because there is none. It's 100% custom made! I tinker on the weekends, you see.

Aiden: Hm, that's cool.

Duncan: Yes, it is! Go ahead, try it out. Play the new hit game Among Us!

Aiden: Among Us? never heard of it.

(The story pauses.)

Player: He'd never heard of Among Us before?

Veteran: This was 2018, Player. Nobody had.

(The video unpauses.)

Duncan: Yes, yes, it's going to be big one day. The biggest game in the world! Go on, boot it up and play it!

Aiden: Uh, sure!

(Aiden boots the game up. The screen opened and it shows the home screen of Among Us, but with red text and dead bodies flying in space instead of Crewmates.)

Aiden: Huh, this looks cool! Kind of violent though.

Duncan: Of course it is. Among Us is a game about deception and murder. Someone plays as The Impostor, trying to eliminate all the Crewmates one by one, while the rest of the players work together to figure out who is responsible.

Aiden: So it's multiplayer? That's pretty sweet!

Duncan: It is! It is. You know what? You seem like a nice young man, why don't you take it?

Aiden: Wait, really? You're just giving this thing to me?

Duncan: Of course! Go on, you'll have much more use for it than I ever will. Please consider it a gift.

Aiden: Wow! Well, thank you Mister..

Duncan: Duncan! Duncan Swearinger Cortez O'Barclay Gottenheimer.

(Aiden stares awkwardly.)

Duncan: I was raised by a polyamorous quadruple.

Aiden: Cool.. Well, thanks again, Mr., uh.. Duncan. Guess I'll see you around.

(As Aiden leaves, Duncan's stall fades from exstence.)

Duncan: Oh, I don't believe you will, Aiden, In fact, I don't think you'll be seeing anyone EVER AGAIN! (laughs maniacally before coughing)

Aiden Bails a Party
(We cut to the dormitory in Aiden's college.)

Veteran: So, Aiden takes the laptop back to his dorm, right? He was supposed to go to some crazy party that night, but he got so excited to get his rig set up that he ended up bailing instead.

(We see Aiden and Punk's room. Aiden puts the computer on his desk while Punk is looking in the mirror, dying his mohawk.)

Punk: So you're seriously not going, bro? It's the biggest party of the year! Gonna be a lot of hot babes there.

Aiden: How can you even tell? Everyone looks exactly the same in these space suits, dude.

Punk: Bro, you can tell.

Aiden: Well, I guess I'm just not feeling it tonight. I'm gonna hang inside and play some video games.

Punk: Alright, whatever you say, man. Don't wait up for me. My band's gonna play tonight and we're gonna KILL IT!

(Punk leaves the room. Aiden turns on the computer.)

Aiden: All right, time to finally check this game out.

(Aiden opens Among Us and clicks on Online. He looks at his username, Player.)

Aiden: Hm, better change my name. (Chuckles) What kind of noobscrub idiot would keep their name as Player?

(The story pauses again.)

Player: OK, there's no way you actually know that's what Aiden said.

Veteran: Dude, will you let me finish the story?

Player: Ugh, fine.

(The story continues. Aiden clicks on his username, but before he types anything the username changes to Novisor.)

Aiden: Novisor? What kind of name is that?

(Aiden changes his username to Aiden, but it deletes itself and the computer types Novisor. He types it again, and it glitches to Novisor.)

Aiden: Weird.. must be kind of glitch or something. Eh, whatever.

(Aiden clicks Create Game and it starts. Aiden's character in the dropship is black, with no cosmetics or a visor.)

Aiden: Wait, this can't be right. What's going on here?

(Aiden walks to the computer that lets players change their appearance. There are no cosmetics or other colours available.)

Aiden: No cosmetic options? Pft! Lame.

(Aiden closes the cosmetics window. 9 other players immediately join, also without cosmetics or visors.)

Aiden: What the?!

(Aiden opens the chat. All of the players are saying Novisor over and over.)

Aiden: OK, something is seriously messed up. I should just exit and restart in a different lobby.

(Aiden clicks on settings to leave, but there are only two options: Voice Chat and Return to Game.)

Aiden: This game has voice chat?

(He turns it on. The other players, who are now surrounding Aiden's character, begin chanting Novisor out loud over and over.)

Aiden: OK, that was a mistake.

(Aiden opens settings again, but the Voice Chat button is gone.)

Aiden: Great.

(Aiden exits out of the menu and starts the game. The Crewmate screen glitches to say Novisor instead of Crewmate and the "There are --- Impostor(s) among us..." slogan becomes "There is no hope amoung us..." and the screen briefly glitches to show Novisor. Aiden enters a desaturated version of The Skeld with his model fixed.)

Aiden: This place is freaky, but at least my model is fixed.

(Aiden walks into the hallway leading to MedBay and Upper Engine. As he goes inside, the doorways turn black.)

Aiden: Looks like I need to go over here for a couple tasks.

(Aiden walks into Upper Engine, but as he enters the room the screen turns black and Aiden is back in the same hallway.)

Aiden: What the?! How did I?... Let's try this again.

(Aiden walks through the doorway again. He appears in the same hallway, only now there is some black goo scattered around the hallway.)

Aiden: So this is some kind of loop. Is this part of the game?

(Aiden walks over again and the room gets more dirtier.)

Aiden: No, no, this isn't right...

(He rusn through the loop again and again. Messages about Novisor start to become carved into the walls.)

Aiden: How do I get out of here?!

(Aiden walks back where he came from. He is now in a pitch black room, with his ankles chained to the floor.)

Aiden: Huh? What are these? Get them off of me!

(All of the other players, appear, now ghosts. They begin to float towards Aiden.)

Ghosts: Novisor, Novisor, we will make you one of us... Novisor, Novisor, we will make you one of us...

Aiden: No! No! NO! Come on, not like this! AAAAAAHHHHHH!!!!!!

(Aiden turns off the computer.)

Aiden: I think that's enough for tonight. Mr. Duncan didn't tell me this was a horror game. And it doesn't look like I've missed too much of the party... Guess I'm heading out tonight after all!

The Party + Aiden's Fate
(Punk's band are performing on a stage in one of the college buildings, while Aiden is watching in the audience.)

Aiden: Oh yeah, this is much better than that stupid Among Us game. I should have came out earlier!

(The crowd applauds as the band wraps up a song.)

Punk: Thank you, thank you! Now, before we play our next jam, I have a very special surprise for my best friend and roommate. Come up here, Aiden!

Aiden: Wait, really?

Punk: Yeah! Why do you think I was being so pushy about you coming out earlier? Come on up!

Aiden: Uh, yeah, sure! OK!

(Aiden walks up onto the stage and Punk gives him an envelope.)

Roommate: Here you go! Read this to all the people out there!

Aiden: Dude, what is this?

Roommate: Just open it up and read, man!

(Aiden opens the envelope.)

Aiden: Wait.

(The letter reads "Novisor" in stained black ink. Aiden looks up, revealing Punk and the audience are all Novisors. Punk pushes Aiden off the stage as the audience members swarm him.)

Audience: Novisor, Novisor, we will make you one of us... Novisor, Novisor, we will make you one of us...

Aiden: AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!! AAAAAHH! AAAAAAAAAHHHHHHH!!!!!!

(The camera zooms out, revealing this scene was playing on the computer. It glitches and turns off.)

Player: Wait a minute, he was still inside the game? He never left?

Veteran: That's the big twist! According to the legends, he was in the game THE ENTIRE TIME.

Player: Whoa.

Player and Veteran's Fate
(The story ends there, and we cut back to Player and Veteran.)

Veteran: Yeah, well, they say some sort of missing code that's been left in the game since it's inception. Innersloth keeps trying to patch him out, but Novisor finds a way to survive... and to kill.

Player: What do you mean?

Veteran: Well, it's rare to see him. Nobody has figured out what causes Novisor to show up, but if you're playing on The Skeld, there's a small chance that he's lurking about, stalking you like prey. If he catches you, he turns you into a hideous Novisor, and curses you to haunt these halls just like him!

(The lights turn back on.)

Player: Hey, look at that! The lights are back on!

(Player turns his flashlight off and puts it away.)

Veteran: Oh, thank God! Heh, I can't believe we got so worked up over that story!

Player: Yeah, I know, right? I mean, I'm not scared of some silly ghost that's probably not even real.

Veteran: Yeah, me neither!

(Novisor appears in the room.)

Novisor: You should be.

Player and Veteran: AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHH!!!!!!!

(Player & Veteran try to run away but Novisor pulls them into the wall, ending the episode.)
