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?

Guess that makes my job even easier.

[it's true - ronan wouldn't necessarily be original connor's first choice but what does that matter now? when you've got a dead original you're free to do whatever you want, and that includes buying drinks for whomever.]

[greywaren]

I won't say no to booze.

[He challenges with a little grin. Ronan turns, leaning an elbow up on the table as he looks at Conner- really looks at him for a moment, all charm and sleek intrigue.]

What brings you here?

[iustitiae]

Looking to forget the ills of being here.

[he orders a drink for ronan and returns the charm. so what if they're both doubles? all the better to ruin things am i right]

Looking for company.

[greywaren]

[Ronan eyes him for a moment before smirking, turning so his back can be to the bar and lifting up an elbow to lean back against it.]

I'm taken.

[iustitiae]

That's a shame. Why'd they let you out of their sight?

[and you know, into his. he's appreciating the sight he's getting.]

[greywaren]

He has a job.

[Is his counter to that. The implications don't go unnoticed.]

Volunteering at the clinic.

[iustitiae]

Guess he must be a nice kid.

[greywaren]

Must be.

[He smirks.]

Are you a nice kid?

[iustitiae]

Definitely not.

[beat]

Why, did you want me to be?

[greywaren]

I don't think I do.

[He slides a little closer on the barstool.]

I'd rather you be easy.

[iustitiae]

For you, I can be.

[connor moves to rest his hand on ronan's thigh. that should make it obvious enough he's willing to put his money where his mouth is]
