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 flames, if turned on him, would burn him so badly that he'd never recover. It's the gift and curse of a phoenix: powerful fire whose damage can't be undone.

Faith's double turns to face the man, a trickle of flames flowing from her fingertips and fading into the air when she stops.

"Both." She smiles. "They're usin' us all for a food source, and I'm showing 'em their reign has reached its end."

He's not a double -- she can sense that easily -- so she'll play with him a little. He's none of her business except as far as ruining Faith's life is concerned.

"You're not on their side, are you?"

[darthvaderfanboy]

"Impressive." He's never heard of any power in his galaxy that could conjure up fire. If only he had such an ability, he'd be close to being unstoppable. She's definitely someone on the same level about these so-called gods as he is. If burning their temples down is the first step, he's all for it.

"The only side I'm on is my own." The only people that really mattered to Kylo here were Hux, Anakin, and maybe Ahsoka on a good day. Everyone else was in the status of someone to be used as an ally or someone who would need to eventually be killed.

[avephoenix]

She basks in the praise, all but preening in front of him.

"Long as you're not on the gods' side, do what you will." The double laughs, a giggle that would almost seem cute if not for the fact that, well, she's slowly destroying the city. "You think it's a good enough show?"

[darthvaderfanboy]

He notices her reaction to being praised. She's got an ego, and much like he does, enjoys being told she's special and powerful. They aren't too dissimilar.

As she giggles, Kylo thinks to himself that she's cute. Clearly psychotic, but cute. He can work with someone like this. "I hope that wasn't the grand finale. I'm interested in seeing what else you can do."

[avephoenix]

When she's gone -- and she's sure she will be, given the memories she has of this place and the fact that she knows her mission is to do as much damage as possible in as limited a time as possible -- will he hold the real Faith in the same regard? She hopes so. This one seems like he's got a bad attitude, one she'd love to see clinging to Faith.

"Oh hardly. Got big plans, me an' Kate." She looks to Kylo again, arching her eyebrows. "You'll see."

[darthvaderfanboy]

Kylo was a terrible sort of individual. It was probably the reason why he hadn't ended up with a double: there was nothing worse than the original person he was. This double of Faith had definitely left a lasting impression upon him. He'd be sorely disappointed to meet the original after this.

"I hope so. Things have been dull around here."

[avephoenix]

"Haven't they, though?" She laughs. "Should've done this ages sooner. But then, maybe you would've missed it, though."

[darthvaderfanboy]

"I'm glad to have witnessed it." Kylo could always appreciate a display of power no matter where it came from. It was his ever-lasting obsession.
