huge: always the first one to fix all sabotages and finishes his tasks in time.
shirley: finishes her tasks in time. gets mad when people don’t do tasks. sometimes sees a body but chooses to ignore it.
steve: would say that there are actually no impostors and people just tripped and fell to their death and everyone’s mentally ill for thinking there are impostors.
theo: the sleuth of the group. can tell who’s lying and who’s pretending to do tasks. hates being followed and chooses to be alone all the time.
luke: calls out the impostor but no one believes him.
nell: the first one to die.
olivia: claims she’s looking out for everyone but is actually the impostor.

Notes: This one had been in my mind some weeks ago, and while it took a while I finally finished it. Excited to hear your thoughts on this piece!
Christmas with the Crains would have:
- Shirley insisting they don’t have to bring anything for the dinner (Leigh and Trish bring dessert anyway)
- Steve and Shirley bicker about something minor but shut up when Luke looks at them dejected.
- Theo and Trish probably having a quickie somewhere
- Jayden and Allie tries to teach the adults to play Among Us, Luke and Trish are familiar with the game, Theo doesn’t but quickly catches on, Shirley tries to but she’s a dinosaur
- All the adults got the kids presents, even for baby Eleanor
- Each sibling reveals a surprise during dinner: Luke gets a course in college as a concept artist, Steve is moving on from horror and his literary agent thinks his new work is promising, Theo and Trish are going to adopt a daughter and Shirley is willing to support Luke financially
- Steve also reveals he has kept Luke’s share of the royalty for The Haunting of Hill House, which he teased he could “get a fucking PhD like Theo did” (Theo laughed, Shirley glared at him mouthed ‘language’)
- Shirley had to hide most of her booze or else Theo would finish them in one go.
- The kids get curious with Trish’s tattoos, and Trish like the human sunshine she is, shares with them why she got each of them
- Luke also spends time with his niece and nephew, especially baby Eleanor, who is most quiet when Uncle Luke holds her.
- At the end of the day when the kids are taken to bed, the Crains just sit together in silence, 3 candles lit before them in remembrance of Nell and their parents. Their spouses sit with them silently, knowing this is important for them.
- Some of them might cry, usually Luke or Shirl. Theo just stares blankly, her hand holding Trish’s tightly. Steve just smiles and chooses to remember all the precious moments he spent with his dad when they were young
