Event Log: Dead Ringers

[hadrielmods]

Who: Everyone participating in the event!
What: The event log for the Dead Ringers event!
Where: All around the city
When: January 16th-January 25th
Warnings: Evil doubles, so we can assume manipulation, violence, murder, and maybe some nasty words

Everything seems normal on the morning of the 16th - actually, everything seems normal about the city for the entirety of this event. Nothing is strange, nothing is obviously wrong. Well, except that the population has mysteriously doubled, and the new residents each look exactly like one of the old residents. So weird! Definitely not ominous at all.

At least until your new double gets down to business. After all, their only goal is to ruin your life, and that can take any form. Smashing your favorite coffee cup? Telling your worst enemy they're right? Kissing someone else in front of your girlfriend? Brutally murdering you and then hiding your body in a closet so they can more effectively destroy your life? The possibilities are truly endless, and the only way to protect yourself is to kill your double first. They're not really open to negotiation, after all - but they sure might pretend to be in order to trick you.

So watch your back, and try to make sure that really is your best friend and not an evil clone masquerading as them. Boy, that would be awkward. If you can stick it out until January 25th, good for you! But if you didn't manage to and your double survives until the end - well, just as a final 'fuck you', there's a chance you'll come back to life and remember every awful thing your double did. Hey, at least that'll make it easier to fix, right?

[ Dean was still fairly oblivious to the fact that he was being seduced. Not because he didn't enjoy the process but because it didn't really come at odd times like this with Cas. Not that that wa a bad thing, he'd learned to enjoy it for what it was, but he just wasn't looking for it. Didn't think he'd see it in the cracks of Cas' face, in the hidden shadows behind his eyes.

Taking a few more steps forward, Dean hung against the wall connecting to the kitchen, arching a brow with interest. ]

It's gettin' personal, huh.

[ Though really, who wanted to be personal with a bunch of bees apart from Cas. Dean didn't much mind it either, but he still found the whole thing... strange, to say the least. ]

[ It was very hard not to leer back at that comment, because it was tempting, really very tempting. He licked his lips, and they parted naturally, in a dogged, attentive expression that was perfectly normal for Castiel. He tipped himself over very slightly, so that he could look more awkwardly up toward Dean.

He looked cheerful. Happy. Cas was going to ruin that. ]

I'm not sure what you mean.

[ Of course he knew, but Dean would expect ignorance. ]

They were hungry. Is there nothing to eat in the kitchen?

[kickingand]

[ Dean just watched, faintly intrigued, pleasantly content by Cas' presence and wholly unbothered by his... usual behavior. Ish. He tipped slightly and Dean almost quirked a smile at him, though it was more amused than anything, as if Dean was just happy for the hell of it. An oddity, really, but something that was happening more as of late, despite the ever continuing burden of the Mark. ]

I mean they're gettin' attached. Frisky with you.

[ He shrugged a shoulder, pointing out that he was just teasing without quite saying so before he glanced back over towards the kitchen longingly, waiting for food to spontaneously appear. ]

Why, you hungry?

[strangelic]

Would that make you jealous?

[ An innocent enough question. Touch and go as to whether it was quite in character, but Castiel thought he'd nailed it. ]

Me?

[ He was never hungry. That would have been odd, wouldn't it? If he was suddenly peckish? He drew his eyes down Dean's body, but the action was lost, because Dean was looking off toward the kitchen in earnest. He pulled his legs off the edge of the couch, fixing Dean with his stare. ]

No, but you are. Do you want me to fetch you something from the orchard?
