MuRdEr (All Ships)

The paladins were seated in a circle as Allura, Coran, Edel and Nicole watched from the Skyview above them. They were having a free day - for once - and no one had any ideas on what to do when Allura told them about an Altean game she and Nicole used to play.

"I can't believe we're playing a game called Murder." Lance muttered as he slipped his helmet on. They pulled out their Bayards, waiting for them to transform into their weapons, but nothing happened. "Um, princess, is this meant to happen?"

"For the purpose of the game, yes." Allura answered through the intercom. "Yes, this game is called Murder but no one will literally die. Who ever is the cop and murderer, your Bayard weapons will be holographic, so it'll just go through. When someone is dead, their armour will glow and your Lion's holographic image will disappear from the window here." She pointed to the glass in front of her with a cheeky smile. "When the cop is killed, his or her Bayard will drop and another player - excluding the murderer - can pick it up. You will be able to communicate through your intercoms but you won't be able to talk with us up here. When you die, your armour will turn you invisible thanks to Pidge's upgrades to the simulator except for Elle. You'll have to manually turn yourself invisible because the last White Paladin never played this game, he was always controlling the game with Coran."

Coran nodded happily. "Nice chap he was."

"Wait, Coran, why haven't you talked to me about the White Paladin before?"

"That for later, Elle." The elderly Altean shook his head, "onward with the game, Princess."

Allura nodded, continuing. "A house will show up around you, but it's just holographic and the walls will electrocute you if you try to walk through it, Lance. Inside your helmets, your role will appear, but everyone around you won't be able to see it. A count down from five is starting now as I set your roles and the house."

5...

Allura hit the buttons for each paladin's position and the holographic house shot up from the floor.

The paladins put their Bayards away.

Nicole snickered, as she and Allura looked at each other with a grin.

BEGIN!

Murderer - Keith

Cop - Shiro

Innocents - Isabelle, Lance, Pidge and Hunk.

Keith (In head): Great

Shiro (In head): Imma get this so wrong...

Lance (In head): No matter who it is, I know I'm dying first

Pidge (In head): I WANTED TO BE MURDERER

Isabelle (In head): I'm glad I'm not the murderer or cop. I would get so mad if I get it wrong if I was cop and the simulator will burn. But if I was murderer, I could let my anger out on the others...finally, BUT NO

Hunk (In head): Nicole's right. I definitely am the innocent one here.

The paladins began to wander around the simukated house while they talked and the Alteans watched the mundane show.

"Whoever is the murderer, can you kill Lance for me??" Nicole questioned, speaking into the microphone projecting through the room.

"Thanks, Nicky, I feel so appreciated." Lance grumbled as he jumped onto the couch beside Hunk. "But seriously, whoever is the murderer, please kill me. I'm getting extremely bored!"

A high pitched scream echoed through the intercoms and the paladin pulled of their helmets. "Jesus Christ." Shiro muttered, and put his helmet back on. "Don't scream like that, Iz."

"Well, I'm sorry, but I JUST GOT QUIZNAKING MURDERED!!!" Suddenly, a bright flame illuminated the kitchen and Isabelle's shape was seen. The roof of the simulated house began to light on fire, and everyone ran from the house.

"Izzy, calm down!" Shiro shouted through the intercom. "Allura, stop the simulation!"

The simulation stopped, but aflamed Isabelle didn't. Her hair was now a bright blue and her skin was a mid grey.

Nicole smashed her hand down on the water sprinkler button and all the paladins got soaked - well, their armour anyway. Isabelle bit her bottom lip with a playful smile. God was she in a lot of trouble afterwards...
