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?

[The double smiles again and for a minute it almost looks genuine...if one didn't look to hard. And Sans was all about looking too hard at things he shouldn't. Maybe if he hadn't spent his time absorbed in wondering when the next Reset was going to happen then he would have caught on sooner.

But then again, maybe not.

It's just an "If".]

Then I hope you find what you can call a happy ending. As for me...I have things to do and people to meet. If I see you in the near future, I'll be sure to say hello again.

[One way or another, Sans will have to greet whatever future happens. The 'good' Chara, the bad or worse one. That much is certain.

They turn to walk away, their body crumpling back into that hunched over form that once walked out of the Ruins, covered in dust.]

[If he just twitched his fingerbones and -

He could. He could, but he don't. And the worst part is...they're holding him to his word. And no matter how much they'll doubt it and call bullshit, if they weren't certain that some part of him meant it, they wouldn't be turning their back on him right now.

And that's the thing.

They're right.

The second they turn away, he don't trust himself to stay there a second longer, so he doesn't. He nips away and starts off across the city. He had to get to know an awful lotta people, and now? Now he's gotta make sure that they're not all about to pay the price for knowing him.

Victory feels hollow.


This is why he hates promises.


But then, it always does.]
