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?

If you find any chemicals let me know, I can always make an explosive. [Hux offered, clearly motivated. He moved around the store, shaking any containers. He opened a few, smelling them before holding up one.]

This one may work. It seems to be fuel of a sort. Cheap and unrefined but it should do the job.

[iustitiae]

[that's what he likes to hear. perfect. connor grins.]

Excellent. I'm not looking for refinement.

[after all - the four of them hadn't had any refinement when they were figuring out what to do with sam keatings' body.]

[therewillbeorder]

You'll need something more to make it burn hotter.

[He looked around, peering into a container with white powder, swirling it around before handing it Connor as well.]

That should help. May turn the fire greenish too.

[iustitiae]

Nice touch.

[he takes that from hux, too. the fire hadn't worked that night - it had been told cold, and sam's body had barely burned. just enough so they all choked on the smell of burning flesh, had it imprinted in their brains forever. but not enough to help them hide the body.]

[therewillbeorder]

You should always take pride in your work.

[Especially when it came to murder.]

Add it bit by bit to the fire to avoid getting a fireball in your face.

[iustitiae]

[absolutely.]

Thanks for the heads up.

[therewillbeorder]

Of course. I'll leave you to the burning of your body, I trust I'll be hearing from you soon then.
