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


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.

"ahsoka" | open + closed

[personal profile] fulcra 2017-01-19 10:27 am (UTC)(link)
a | are you proud of me? (OPEN)
[ these idiots are taking her for granted. after all she's been through, after all the operations she led and lives she spent and lives she had to take, all that ahsoka tano's legacy in hadriel amounts to is as a lowly member of the guard, a pair of reliable weapons in a fight, a pleasant but ultimately unremarkable personality. back in her home galaxy, she's been leading wars since she was a teenager but here, the thing she's firmest with is training her pet fennec.

as far as her double is concerned, pointing this out to everyone who knows ahsoka is doing her original a favour, not to mention setting herself up for success when she figures out how to take the pushover out of the picture and establish a new life with the respect she deserves. so for the first few days, she's careful to avoid crossing paths with her original, obscuring the force well enough that it'll only feel like another particularly cloudy day in hadriel. this is when her charisma is going to shine, when she offers her usual warm greetings to her fellow members of the guard, ready to engage them in conversation and ready to make them bend to her, if that's what it takes. this is when she seeks out those that ahsoka's allowed herself to get at all attached to, saying it's just to check in, because she's worried about them.

these people don't know the half of ahsoka's power or strength. but they will. and they'll respect every bit of it. ]
b | tear you apart (closed to kylo ren)
[ ahsoka never uses her communicator to get in touch with kylo, anyway. she tells him when they're meeting next and where. she waits for him. some days, she sits in a public space and reaches out with whatever weak threads of bond are slowly forming between them to coax him out into joining her for an impromptu session. it's always been easier to stay fulcrum to him that way, not to mention good practice at discipline.

so that's how her double finds him now, naturally. tracking him in the force until she turns up in front of him on his way back to where he lives. she doesn't look any different than the last time he spoke to ahsoka, of course, and she even has a little quirk to her lips as she tilts her head in greeting. ]


My apprentice. [ there's a tell: a word she's never used on him before. ] We should have a talk.
c | wildcard
[ both versions of ahsoka are going to be available for any hero things: keeping patrol, making sure no monsters creep in at the edge of the city, jumping in to help with any fights. it's just that one is putting effort into avoiding the other and that's the one you don't want to stick around to talk to once she's gotten you to safety. by the last few days, it'll only be the original left, sporting some new wounds but still trying to protect everybody. that's still what she does best.

(feel free to just throw something here or hit me up for plotting at [plurk.com profile] eflat! ) ]

[While Kylo has become aware that there are doubles in the city, he senses nothing amiss in Ahsoka's Force signature when she approaches him. He gives a nod to her, blinking hard once at her form of greeting. They've never officially established themselves as master and apprentice, though he supposes with how she's taken him on teaching him the ways of the Force, what else would she call him?]

About what?
fulcra: (seriousness)

[personal profile] fulcra 2017-01-19 11:25 am (UTC)(link)
I have a few things on my mind. [ which is hardly uncommon for her, always with topic after topic, lesson after lesson. ahsoka has a hundred things to say to kylo some days, and sometimes she'll say every single one of them.

it's part of her charm- rarely shutting up. but it makes her memorable, too, gives her double something easy and charismatic to build on. ]


Primarily, Anakin Skywalker.
darthvaderfanboy: (In charge)

[personal profile] darthvaderfanboy 2017-01-21 10:36 am (UTC)(link)
[The name gave Kylo Ren pause. Why would she want to talk about his grandfather's weak former Jedi self? Though with the way things tended to go between them, she'd get around to her point sooner rather than later. Ahsoka was never one to bandy words.]

What about him?
fulcra: (52 |)

[personal profile] fulcra 2017-01-23 01:10 am (UTC)(link)
We both know he's here now. And we both know that you've consistently underestimated my power in the past.

[ mostly because she keeps her cards close to her chest. she lets herself be a little flashy, showing off how effortless it is to defend and protect when it comes to the monsters that swarm the city from time to time, but that's it. the only time he's seen her fully embrace what she is so clearly capable of was when she'd taken his lightsaber from him, when she'd had enough.

and, well, she's had enough now. her double has, at least. the original might still be a pushover, were she here.

when she continues, her words are heavy in the force, as if her mere presence is stronger now than ever. ]
You revere him as a symbol of the Dark Side, but in turning away from the Light, he's cut himself off from half of everything available to him through the Force. You'll learn nothing but more chaos from him, never the strength and clarity of true balance. You would regret turning exclusively to his teachings. I wanted to be sure that you won't.
darthvaderfanboy: (Use the Force)

[personal profile] darthvaderfanboy 2017-01-23 08:53 am (UTC)(link)
[Kylo hears what she's saying. Hears and stubbornly refuses to believe. His thoughts turn mulish, getting mired in the obsession with power he holds. The way she's going on, lecturing him, it's galling.]

No. He'll show me the way to true power, better than you ever could. [This delusion has been wrapped in his head for a long time now. It'll take a lot more than this to dislodge it.]
fulcra: (71 |)

[personal profile] fulcra 2017-01-24 08:06 am (UTC)(link)
That's really what you think, Kylo? [ she tilts her head, watching him a beat while she's still, and then keeping her eyes on the front of his mask as she draws and ignites her lightsabers. ] What has he taught you so far?

[ and that's his warning before she's lunging at him, reversing the events of their first fight, when he had challenged her and she had proved herself, damnit. he didn't appreciate her the way she deserved to be appreciated. but he will, in time. ]
darthvaderfanboy: (Broadsword)

[personal profile] darthvaderfanboy 2017-02-04 12:53 pm (UTC)(link)
[Kylo brings up his lightsaber, swiftly in an arc to match her graceful movements. He hasn't learned that much, but he knows enough not to repeat the mistakes of their first fight. He knows more about her fighting style and how to match it. He's on the defensive, letting her make the moves.

As he parries her first one, he thinks to himself. This...it isn't like her. Ahsoka has always been nothing but patient with him, even when he hasn't deserved it. This move is unexpected of her.
fulcra: (43 | reverse grip)

[personal profile] fulcra 2017-02-07 07:51 am (UTC)(link)
[ these are things that he's learned from her. from the original ahsoka, at least. she remembers what he was like only a few weeks ago, how he's improved already - under her teaching, her guidance. it's good motivation to keep pressing on, her moves swift and nearly unpredictable, no pattern to be seen, so he'll have to follow her in the force even more than he can with his eyes.

yet, even if he fails to deflect her properly, she's more than in control enough of her own weapons to stop them before she does him serious damage. this is to put him in his place, not maim him. ]


You've never fought a Sith a combat before, so you don't know what they're like. [ she's lecturing while she fights now, her tone icy cold instead of the light, conversational tone that any wisdom from the original ahsoka would carry at a time like this. ] But they're sloppy. Anger may give you strength, but strength without the skill to turn it into something useful gets you nothing in the end.
darthvaderfanboy: (Out of your league)

[personal profile] darthvaderfanboy 2017-02-08 11:08 am (UTC)(link)
[That's the great advantage Kylo Ren has. His potential allows him to pick things up very quickly and harness his abilities that much quicker. He's learned from his time with Ahsoka here and it reflects in his style. While he's still brutal, slashing with twirls to back up the power in his blows, he's more cautious, probing as he tries to find a way through her defenses.

He pulls back a few steps, giving him enough breathing room to answer her cold words.]


And you think you're the one who will be able to teach me this? How can you know what anger will do when you don't give into yours?

sciencelizard: (« [Anxious] Tiny Hands)

a, claps hands

[personal profile] sciencelizard 2017-01-20 12:22 am (UTC)(link)
[Honestly, when she hears Ahsoka wants to check in and see her, it's a relief. She wants to keep stock of her friends during this, try and explain what her double might be saying, just do... some kind of damage control. She can do this. Just touch some sort of base and figure out how to... deal. With everything. Yes.

So she cautiously leaves her apartment, finds her way to where Ahsoka wanted to meet, and just... waits. Tries to think of what she's going to say to make things okay, and trying to hold onto the fact that maybe she doesn't know anything yet and they can just talk and it will be Nice. Maybe. Hopefully.]
fulcra: (52 |)

[personal profile] fulcra 2017-01-20 10:28 am (UTC)(link)
[ the few times they've planned to run into one another before, ahsoka has been absurdly early or messaging alphys as soon as she isn't going to be anything but perfectly on time and that only happens when things have really gone belly up around the city. but today, "ahsoka" makes her wait.

only a few minutes, but why not making the lizard a little more worked up from the start, right? ]


Alphys, hey. I'm glad you came out to talk.

[ the phrasing may be normal, but the tone is too cool, like ahsoka's in the sort of bad mood she would never turn on alphys usually. ]
sciencelizard: (« [Anxiety] Look sometimes...)

[personal profile] sciencelizard 2017-01-25 11:18 pm (UTC)(link)
[She thinks very little of it. Ahsoka's just... busy, is all. And besides, it was sort of short notice. Maybe Ahsoka needs her for something important, or serious, and her approaching mood seems to indicate that.]

It's n-no problem. Is, uhm... is everything okay?
fulcra: (11 |)

[personal profile] fulcra 2017-02-07 08:11 am (UTC)(link)
Clearly not. [ she gives alphys a pointed look, but it lacks the sparkle that's usually in ahsoka's eyes when she's teasing. ]

Whatever it is that's going on with doubles or whatever you'd like to call them, it's just another constant of life here. Things are busy, one mess after another. And... [ a pause, a shake of her head. the double knows full well that ahsoka could never do this without any emotion at all, but everything would be bottled up. it certainly is now. ] I felt I owed it to you to say this to your face: I can't care about you any more than I care about anyone else here. You're just one of so many people who can't protect themselves and I can't afford to give you any sort of special treatment.
sciencelizard: (« [Shock] SHOOK)

[personal profile] sciencelizard 2017-02-24 08:46 pm (UTC)(link)
... Oh.

[It's quiet, and reserved; at Ahsoka's words, she immediately draws back, grips her hands tight, lets her shoulders slump. That's... that's fine. Expected, even. She couldn't ask Ahsoka to take time out of her day to come save her all the time, after all.]

I mean, uhm, I u-understand. And, uh, you don't have to! Or, uhm, feel l-like you do. I didn't mean for that. It, uh, kind of just kept happening? But I u-understand.

[Even though there's that gnawing feeling in the back of her mind that there's something not right about this, Alphys pushes it down. After all, this was expected, right? It was going to happen eventually.]
fulcra: (seriousness)

[personal profile] fulcra 2017-02-27 08:09 pm (UTC)(link)
I know you mean well. [ a soothing statement, but necessary to sell this. ] But there are plenty of people here who mean well without ever doing it.

[ or keeping their heads down, keeping themselves inside where they won't be in anyone's way. ]
sciencelizard: (« [Looking] Keep Moving Forward)

[personal profile] sciencelizard 2017-03-03 05:32 am (UTC)(link)
I... I k-know. I'm not, uhm, I mean, I'm not good at... d-doing much good. I'm not strong or brave, like you.

I'll... I'll try not to get in the way a-anymore.

[Sans is, uh...not doing so hot. He's been through the city in several parts, but at this point there's too much chaos churning through the streets for him to get a bead on the kids he needs to find. The real versions.

He takes a shortcut that spits him out about three feet higher than it's meant to, which is why Sans pretty much drops onto "Ahsoka" from midair. Just this sweating, exhausted bundle of a skeleton tumbling forth out of the ether to land on top of her. Or not, if she's quick enough to get out of the way.]
fulcra: (#offended)

[personal profile] fulcra 2017-01-20 10:33 am (UTC)(link)
[ instinct and the force work just as well on the double as the original, so instead of missing sans entirely, "ahsoka" takes a half-step back, arms outstretched to catch the skeleton before he can hit the ground. her grip doesn't last long, though, not so much setting him down as dropping him from a lesser height an instant later. all the better to scowl at him, really. ]

What the hell? Watch where you're going.
skelebro: (i watched you fall)

[personal profile] skelebro 2017-01-20 08:18 pm (UTC)(link)
[He lands pretty heavily. Not heavily enough to jar that 1 HP into 0, but, uh...enough to shake him awake more firmly than he's accustomed to, his sockets popping open, the lights sunk inside them dilating and then shrinking to two different widths.]

Wh...uh.

[Give him a second. He's still getting his bearings.]

Which one're you?
fulcra: (warning signs)

[personal profile] fulcra 2017-01-21 05:22 am (UTC)(link)
Ahsoka. I'll try not to be offended that I'm apparently forgettable.

[ the tone isn't very reassuring, though. maybe she is a little offended, for all she's certain that alphys has told him about her. ]
skelebro: (i need to leave right now immediately)

[personal profile] skelebro 2017-01-21 05:41 am (UTC)(link)
Uh...

[Ahsoka. Wait. Yeah. The one Alphys has a capital-sized crush on. Alien chick. Can't say his memory's doing him any favors at the moment, 'cause he can't recall much else about her, but that's forgivable, right? He's pretty out of it.]

Wait. Right. Yeah, I remember - y'know Alphys, yeah?
fulcra: (52 |)

[personal profile] fulcra 2017-01-21 07:37 am (UTC)(link)
Right. [ still a little icy, here. ] How is the little lizard these days?
skelebro: (never let the smile slip)

[personal profile] skelebro 2017-01-21 07:44 am (UTC)(link)
She's...fine.

[Least she was, before everything went straight to hell. He's puttin' things together, bit by bit. Not that he can make any passing judgments as to the content of Ahsoka's character when he ain't technically met her, but Alphys likes people who're...

All right. She likes nice people. She likes good people.

Not people who use cold tones of voice, he's pretty sure. Unless this 'Ahsoka' chick is just like that with people she don't know?

He needs to think, and he's too tired for this. He squints one eyesocket at her, blearily.]


So what're you doin' out here?
fulcra: (19 |)

[personal profile] fulcra 2017-01-21 08:47 am (UTC)(link)
Patrolling. [ which makes sense. she's on the city guard, after all. ]

Things have gone sideways again, right on schedule, so there's the usual need to take responsibility for keeping the people here safe. Most of you can't do it yourselves, so someone has to.
