After the tragic events abroad the Skeld, Red and Purple, lacking a proper crew to help them run the ship, end up crash-landed on the planetoid known as the Fungle, alongside another crew of Mira employees who also got ship-wrecked here previously (because Mira takes wonderful care of their employees). That alone is already a lot to deal with, but don't worry: it gets even better! Because Red sustained a major head injury in the crash, and while they're still somehow alive--oopsy!--it seems their brush with death has given them the ability to see the ghosts of their original crewmates, who have taken to haunting them now. Purple, of course, thinks its just a delusion caused by the head injury when Red tries to tell them, but... they all seem so real to Red....

Welcome... to the "Welcome to the Fungle" au! Set immediately after the events of season 1, this is a continuation of the story I've been bouncing around with @artlesscomedic. The blurb above is the basic premise, but there's some more details that I'll put below the cut!
The Ghosts
The original crew of the Skeld, all of whom are just a confused that Red can see them as Red is. Between the nine of them, they present as 3 different types (all based loosely on neutral roles from Town of Us): Guardian Angels, Amnesiacs, and Executioners
Guardian Angels: As the name suggests, these ghosts are those who are in favor of Red and Purple's success and wellbeing, and who possess some sort of ability or abilities to help protect them. They present as standard among us ghosts but with wings that match their suit color (the same as vanilla Among Us Guardian Angels). They are Cyan (standard shielding ability, protected Purple from the crash, easily able to control the ability), Blue (healing abilities, just barely snatched Red back from the brink of death after the crash, not fully in control of when the healing occurs), and Green (the original, non-imposter crewmate, abilities currently unknown, but eager to help Red out regardless)
Amnesiacs: Like in Town of Us, these individusls are true neutrals. They don't have much stake in what becomes of Red and Purple. Similar to their in-game counterparts, however, they can be swayed in either direction to one of the other two roles based on the actions of Red and Purple, the other ghosts, or even the new crew. They are Orange (the original, non-imposter crewmate, largely still the same corporate shill, even after it all), Black (tettering on the edge of Executioner, Cyan's optimism is really the only thing keeping them from tipping over the edge), and White (constantly wine drunk and whining, upset they lost their perfect life, why are they even here)
Executioners: These ghosts exist with the sole purpose of making life harder for, or even taking out, their chosen target (who, for the most part, is just Red in this case). Like Guardian Angels, these ghosts possess abilities, but instead of for protection, theirs are detrimental. These abilities are aligned with the usual sabotages imposters can activate, even from beyond the grave. Their spirits give off a visible aura of malice that can affect their surroundings. They are Lime (specializes in machine-based sabotages, like reactor and comms), and Yellow & Brown (specialize in natural-based sabotages, like mushroom doors closing off rooms and mushroom mixup)
As mentioned, Amnesiacs can be easily swayed to either side, but both Guardian Angels and Executioners can also be reduced to Amnesiacs, or even flip sides completely, based on the circumstances (similar to how Guardian Angels and Executioners become Amnesiacs in Town of Us if their ward/target is taken out by someone else). For a Guardian Angel, it would require Red and/or Purple doing something so they lose faith in them or feel they are no longer worth protecting. For an Executioner, it would require either the actual death of their target, or simply reaching a point where they no longer think trying to kill them is worth it, whether because their target changed for the better, or the Executioner themself is just too exhausted of it all to continue.
The Fungle Crew
While not yet fully developed, the basics are as follows:
Colors: Primarily the colors from the game that got left out of the show--pink, maroon, rose, banana, grey, tan, and coral. Additional colors may be added as needed.
Roles: At first glance, what remains of the crew from the first ship to crash down in the Fungle seems relatively normal, even sharing some basic roles with the original Skeld crew, like medical or chef. But not everything is as it seems, Red and Purple will come to learn, as each and every living member of the Fungle Crew is actually an imposter of a varying type: shapeshifter, viper, phantom, maybe even just a normal guy with a gun. It's up to Red and Purple to figure it out before it's too late.

the real answer to almost every "does [identity A] belong in [identity B] spaces" question is actually just "these spaces are informal social groups and if you're cool you can hang, don't worry about it"
today I learned that in 2008, the city council of florence overturned danteโs sentence of execution if he returned from exile. yes, danteโs inferno dante, who died in 1321.
but the funniest part of this is not that they were debating the exile of a man who has been dead for over 500 years.
the funniest part is that the vote was 19-5. five people voted to uphold danteโs exile.
The objectively funniest part of this is actually that the city that holds his remains, Ravenna, refused to give his remains back. This was a ploy from florence to have his remains moved back for the tourist money and its been ongoing for a long time. Florence had a fake tomb built in the city to trick people into visiting, and have tried to force the return of the remains.
His actual caretakers have been very steadfast in keeping them hidden, moved, or generally out of reach to respect his choice in life to never, ever, ever return to florence, even when he was first offered the chance to return. This is at this point an almost millenium long feud that florence is really, really mad about losing

"i don't care if they make their whole way though uni with chatgpt" i think you guys are so internetpilled that you have forgotten there are actual jobs out there that require people to know what they are doing in any way possible or else people die
114 people died in the Hyatt Regency collapse, and in the US it's the third largest structural collapse fatality count, behind 9/11 and the Pemberton Mill collapse in 1860.
I've learned about this tragedy in my physics classes, to demonstrate tensile strength, and as a reminder about the importance of calculations being done right. I've also learned about it in my legal classes as an example of construction defect lawsuits. I've seen it referenced in disaster response classes.
Between AI and the current Presidential administration, we're barrelling right back towards this nightmare.
There are multiple errors that resulted in this collapse, but these stand out to me:
1. Kansas City was facing high unemployment and needed to attract jobs and business into the city. So the planning and inspection departments may have looked too closely at the designs.
2. An engineering firm too lazy to double check their designs or design changes by the manufacturer before approving them. The error that resulted in the collapse was one that the owner of the engineering firm said that a "first year engineering student" would spot.
3. The steel manufacturer treating preliminary plans as final plans, not verifying the math on their end.
The bridges' original design could only hold 60% of the minimum load required by city code. The design changes recommended by the manufacturer halved that. Less than a year and 3 weeks from opening to the public, the whole thing collapse.
Articles about the collapse say that everyone "trusted" the other party to have done the calculations correctly.
A significant portion of the population trusts what the computer or AI tells them, without checking. Imprecisely calibrated AI hallucinate information. The US economy is going into a downturn and federal regulatory agencies are being gutted.
We are going to see the Hyatt Regency Collapse repeat over and over for decades, not just in buildings, but in medicine, manufacturing, the environment, etc.
Some of this we're just going to have to weather, but the message for AI users comes straight from IBM (once the world's leading computer manufacturer) back in 1979:
"A Computer Cannot Be Held Accountable. Therefore A Computer Should Never Make A Management Decision."
The owner of the engineering firm that designed the Hyatt Regency spent the rest of his life lecturing on the disaster, to serve as a warning to his fellow engineers about the real-life consequences of sloppy design.
I don't think Sam Altman or Mark Zuckerberg or Elon Musk will have the courage or the honor to do that when OpenAI / Meta / xAI are responsible for getting people killed.
So if you're going to blindly trust the AI to do critical work tasks, I hope you're prepared to be making an apology tour for the rest of your life if it all goes wrong.
We've already seen AI give incredibly bad advice in numerous fields, including stuff like trail directions and identifying mushrooms. Pretty sure some AI "therapists" have convinced people to do drugs or kill themselves or other harmful acts.
We've already at the danger point, if not past it.
We had some absolutely criminal negligence in the building of the Quebec Bridge, with multiple engineering firms ignoring real signs of structural issues.
There is some debate about this, but most engineers in Canada agree this started a new ritual upon graduation with a B. Eng from any Canadian university. You attend a ceremony upon graduation and are given an Iron Ring.
You wear it on the pinky of your dominant hand, so it touches any paper you are asked to sign. Every time you sign off on something in your capacity as an engineer, you are reminded of your duties and obligations.
I have engineers in my family, and it is considered a sacred oath. Much like doctors, Canadian engineers have an ethos to do no harm.
And if you genAI bullshitted your way through your degree, you didnโt earn your ring. How fucking dare you accept one.
