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?

[Fareeha had been out collecting more canned goods for the week, and hesitates when she comes back to find her door open. She sets her groceries in the hallway and eases herself into her apartment, glancing around corners and moving gingerly to mask her presence, finally coming to the door to her second bedroom - where she keeps her armor.]

[She slowly, carefully, and quietly peeks around the door, looking in to see a familiar figure that she hadn't expected here. She pushes the door open and steps in, no longer worried about keeping herself concealed.]

Alphys? What are you doing here?

[It's more curious than accusatory, considering Alphys had already been helping to keep it stocked.]

[Ah, what lovely work. Alphys' double had wanted to study this armor, see if she could plant some seeds of dissent between this woman and the real Alphys-- but wouldn't you know it! She's just arrived.]

Oh! H-Hey there, uhm. I didn't realize you weren't, uh, home. I had just wanted to, uh, look at your other weapons and t-things like that.
