Event Log: Dead Ringers
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
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?► This log covers January 16th-January 25th.
► Feel free to make your own logs, as well
► Please tag headers of threads with content warnings where they apply
► Please put your character's name and open/closed in the subject line of your starters!
► If your evil clone happens to take you out, please let us know here, and remember that you will not revive until the event is over.
With a s-stammer bang bang
They're Partners, and if something was wrong, Frisk should be able to tell. No longer just the voice in the back of their head, they're right there.
They would know.]
I just...
[They don't want to tell them if they don't know.]
Alphys said some things. I'm okay.
[Fine. Better than fine; 1/4.]
Where's Asriel?
Chash bang Bang bang
I can't find him. I was hoping he was with you, but...
[Looks like they were wrong! Oh well, they'll find Asriel later. At least it's a sign that he's alone right now.]
Did she say no to helping us after all?
[May as well keep this 'nice' for now, then they'll hand over their present.]
Crash bang Big bang Bing bang
[They don't...think he'll do too well out there. Doesn't know what it's like, when you're facing down someone and they're exactly the same, but they aren't. They promised themself he wouldn't get hurt.]
Hm? No, I think-
[...]
I don't know. It's not important right now.
llama llama lam =)
Agreed. Can you show me where you last saw him?
[It's clear they're not going to tell Chara any more about whatever went down with Alphys. Oh well, it's not like it really matters in the end.]
I have something to give to you as well, but it can wait.
[Concerned friends go find the people they intend to murder first, right?]
I love that song uwu
[They can only imagine that Chara is even more worried than they are. Good, to keep that in mind. Both of them are worried about Asriel. That's the new focus.
It's a really weird time to bring up a present.]
Um, can you give it to me later? Sorry but-
[It's really not the time, is it?]
it's a good one :D
[They want to stress that. That photograph is getting handed off one way or another. It was something that needs to be shown.
But Chara will follow Frisk as quickly as possible, just like a concerned friend would. But they can't resist asking...]
Why did you two split up?
absolutely <3
Didn't realize it was so bad. I was...
Gonna clean more.
[To help Tranquility.]
no subject
Clearly.]
I'll come with you two next time.
[Because they're the only one who could really Fight.]
Not much farther?
no subject
Neither of them can be by Asriel's side at all times. He'd hate that. They'd hate that. As dangerous as it is, it'd be more dangerous if...if they didn't trust each other. Chara trusts them, Frisk knows they do.]
You don't have to help me clean, it's okay. [They know Chara would hate it. At the question, Frisk points ahead, to the corner of the street.]
We split up there.
no subject
Well if that photo comes to pass they'll never have to worry about it again! Don't have to worry about things like trust when it's all dust and a SOUL handed over. Problem solved.]
Maybe if you think things are becoming strange, give me a call. It would save some time.
[A little more obvious but hey, they don't - can't! - care if Frisk figures it out.]
Did you catch what direction he went in?
no subject
[Didn't really think to, before. Still not sure if it's a good idea, and the way Chara frames it, they still don't feel it's...a good plan. Is it silly, to be paranoid of a phone?
Loyal to a fault, they point, only a little uncertain.]
Towards the library? Maybe you can find him, and I'll find Sans.
no subject
You didn't need a blade to hurt. Texts and words hurt.
But knowing that lazy bag of bones, he's likely just slipped off to catch a nap after their "talk". So if Frisk and Sans are out of the way, then that just leaves Chara and Asriel alone together.
What a good plan! You really are the best, Partner.]
I will look for him. But if we are splitting up here...
[They pull the picture out from their inventory and hand it over face down. Frisk will have to turn it over to...see the bigger picture, so to speak.]
You need to look at this, Partner.
1/???
It's really not the time. They don't have time for this, and it's a little vexing, that Chara's so intent on a present, instead of helping their sibling. Frisk tries to keep in mind that it has to be important- it can't wait, so it has to be.]
...Thanks.
[So they take it, dubious as the action is. Gently grip the edge of the photo paper and turn it around, thoughts of Chara perhaps having found a printer to immortalize a day in the sand
no subject
no subject
Can't recognize every face when they're all scribbled out
like that.
Like X marks the spot.]
Done.
Takes them a few seconds to realize where it's coming from. Mostly because their mind is on other things. Like the sunlight they can see, stretching across the background. Lighting up Toriel's white fur. Curving over the top of Sans' skull. And the smile that stretches across their face; it's a look they know and it's just
not theirs.
So it takes a while. It takes a while to realize, with increasingly shallow breaths, that the noise is coming from them.
What did they do?]
no subject
[It's as if all emotion has dropped out of Chara's voice -- if Frisk is able to hear them anyway. Now it's not that Chara has never done that before but their Partner likely knew that it was an act. Just another way that Chara could pretend to be a demon.
This time around, however, it's in reverse. The emotions were faked. And this was "Chara"...or just their double. But regardless of the state their Partner was in, they could still offer them a smile.]
Don't cry Frisk. We reached the absolute. We finished what we started.
[Ehehe =) ]
You are really a great Partner.
of all the notifs to lose, it had to be this one....
Them too. Alphys, Asriel...them too.]
...We don't want this.
[Crossed out faces; facing judgement in a long corridor. Swathing a path of dust across the Underground. They were a great Partner, until they weren't.]
I- we wouldn't-
[Let it end like that.]
it's okay!
[Otherwise, what's the point of a demon like Chara? Just a voice in the back of Frisk's head? No.
You are not above the consequences. It could have been trying to do something nice for someone or the actions of an angry child, it didn't matter. One day or another you have to face the music.
And so, here it is.]
This is what the End looks like. Accept it.
[There are a few details "Chara" is going to skip, but it's the long and short of it.]
no subject
[They don't even know how
They can't possibly know what it took to make things like this. Never went that far. Never had the gumption, or the patience. A variety of things that lead to reset number
Is there ever really anything called success? Can you win? Because they
can't.
You took too much, too quickly.
Look at what you've done.]
I'm sorry.
no subject
Do not apologize for it Frisk. Accept it.
[You're sick of saying 'sorry' all the time, right? So stop. It's all over. Or will you apologize for apologizing? Again?]
You failed whatever test was set forth but you succeeded. * You win. ERASE is such a lovely concept, isn't it?
no subject
The scary thing is- the scary thing is they don't say no. Frisk is slow to shake their head, the motion barely there at all, barely much of anything. It isn't right, no- to think about it, to do something like that.
But they still can't say no. Not out loud. A word that gets stuck in their throat and leaves silence in it's wake, far more telling than a simple shake of their head.
ERASE is such a lovely concept, isn't it?
A good part of them doesn't disagree.]
no subject
And that's the thing, isn't it? There was always the option to say no, to turn back the clock and RESET. It was not a fix-it button but it did erase - ahah! - the chalkboard.
From LV whatever to LV 1. Only one person could really remember and that was a drop in the bucket like the other little bits. Reports do nothing in the end.]
I know Frisk. It's hard. But this is all that is left at the end of the path Chara walks. You're going to be free! All of them are!
no subject
[It's not- that's not true at all. Even if it's something that could be down that path, it's not... it's not everything, right?
Chara can do a little better. They've always been able to do a little better than Frisk has. This picture isn't on their Partner.
Frisk is the one who should be doing a little better, too.]
no subject
[Neither of them can quit. But there is always the option to try again.
And again. And again. And again. As many times as it takes.
Or as many times as it takes for two children to get sick of being "good".]
