Faith Carr | a brief narrative of the deeds of her double

[Faith's double will start burning the gods' temples pretty much as soon as the idea comes to her, with Kate's double by her side to augment her powers. Your character is welcome to witness the burnings, to help her out if they hate the gods, or to get fought with a little if they try to stop her. However, if it seems to the double that your character is going to win, she'll retreat. She's god Business to take care of, namely, burning down all the gods' temples to wreck Faith's fledgeling friendship(?) with them -- and the burning down the clinic, to destroy everyone's faith in, well, Faith.

HMU on plurk @ punnyinpink if you want to handwave your character fighting or helping this jerk out or cheer her on, or if you'd like to get hurt by her somehow! Otherwise, stay tuned for the network post she's going to make tonight or tomorrow when she steals the real Faith's phone one night.]

Hope's temple is first, a symbol of how hopeless anyone's attempts to stop her are. The Faith Carr the city has come to know is a dreamer, an empty-headed optimist who could do so much if she just used the power given to her.

(The Kate at her side understands. The Kate at her side is her right hand, elevating her power to more than it could ever be on its own. If they'd just done this back home, so much death could've been avoided. Rosenberg wouldn't have stood a chance. But no -- Faith is stupid. She'd rather smile.

No more. Not here.)

Fear's temple is second, a jack-o-lantern belching smoke and promising death or ugly burns to anyone who dares try and save it. The irony there is she might be helping Fear, but he'd be a good god to have on her side if it came down to it. He will twist Faith's reputation far longer than this double ever could, because even if the other gods strike her down, the memory of this fire will outlast her.

Optimism is bullshit, and Faith Carr is a liar. That's all anyone needs to remember of this.

Burning Rage's temple feels more like she's upgrading the decor than anything, if only because of all the poetic nonsense out there about anger like fire in one's veins.

Faith Carr turned her anger into positive(!) action(!), which is cute and all, but how effective was it? Not very, judging by the death toll. If people here knew all that happened because of Faith, would they still think of her as this Loving, Giving Soul? Would they call her deeds heroic?

Maybe some people here will applaud this double's burning of the temples, but the gods themselves will turn against her, and that's enough to satisfy the copy.

Next is Delight's temple. Once it's up in flames, they go for a drink at the bar, to celebrate.

They are not destroying the bar. That would be Going Too Far.

Confusion follows, and she hopes this asshole of a god is living up to her name as she watches the flames climb their way up the structure.

Tranquility's temple follows. How will the god of chill handle this? Faith laughs as the flames rise at her command, as Kate's power makes them hotter and faster than they have any business being. Find your chill now, Tranquility.

She's left Sorrow's for last, so he can watch their path of destruction and be unsurprised by her strike, and maybe even a little crushed that even their heavy conversation a while back didn't mean she'd spare him.

Here, she goes more slowly, the fire building faster in strength than in sheer size as it consumes all the fuel in the temple.

You're not the monster, Sorrow. Faith Carr is, and all of Hadriel deserves to know it.

What's the most un-Faith and un-Kate thing a pair of doubles could do? Destroy the clinic.

So that's where they go, ready to see all of the clinic staff's hard work literally go up in flames.

Lucky for Hadriel, this is where the doubles are opposed, and where they meet their ends. The real Faith also dies, but the real Kate gets the job done, which is exactly what Faith would have wanted.
