[ABANDONED] F L I C K E R ~ BFB x Inanimate Insanity ROBLOX AU

Chatter flows through the lunch hall and you feel at peace for once in this chaotic game. You close your eyes, and you realize the talking begins to slowly become quieter. You think you fell asleep, but you open your eyes, and it's still pitch black.

The all-familiar voice echoes through the loudspeakers, saying,

POWER DISCONNECTED..

"Here we go again," you mutter.

Somebody tries to open the door of the lunch hall, but to no avail. It's locked.

A jolt of panic flows through your body, and you freeze at the sound of a scream.

Someone was being killed.

The scream soon dies down, and you glance around the dark room.

"Why do people play this-?" you think in disbelief.

The lights gradually flicker back on, and the voice alerts the players.

Gasps begin to float among the lunch hall, and you soon realize what everyone is surprised about.

Your own roommate, Lightbulb, is standing by Lollipop's corpse, a bloody knife in hand.

"Oops," was the only thing she said, before Paintbrush snatched the knife.

"ELIMINATE HER!" they shout. X scowls and snaps his fingers, Lightbulb immediately disappearing. A yellow, hardcover journal with a light bulb on the cover lands on the bloodied floor. Paintbrush picks it up and begins to read it. You immediately see their eyes widening and a nervous expression spreading across their face.

"What's wrong?" Mepad asks.

"We might lose more than one person tonight," Paintbrush mutters.

"I believe Lightbulb is the murderer," Mepad replies nonchalantly.

"If Lightbulb was the murderer, the game would end," Paintbrush retaliates.

"Not necessarily," Mepad says. "The players have to eliminate all members of the evil team, not just the murderer. But at least you're making progress."

Paintbrush growls under their breath, nervously nibbling at their nails.

"AH!"

Everyone turns their head to see Fan with a shocked expression.

"WHERE DID TEST TUBE GO?!"

Paintbrush inhales sharply. "Everyone to the campfire."

Nervous chatter flows among the group. You see Suitcase trying to comfort a shaking Fan–he seems to be muttering something to her. You immediately sympathize.

Once everyone has sat down, Paintbrush stands up.

"Lightbulb," they begin. "..was the clown."

Gasps erupt from the group and you stare in confusion. But Paintbrush answers your question.

"The clown is able to take someone with them when they die. Lightbulb chose to take Test Tube."
