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?

[ Will saw no reason to be antisocial, unlike his other self he found that being social opened up whole new possibilities for people to mess with. He laughed a little to the comment about being chatty. ]

It is a shame, isn't it? If only he could be more like me. We wouldn't get along as well though... But that would be fun, wouldn't it?

[mismanagement]

[So she'd guessed correctly. How curious. The double crosses her arms over her chest, watching him with a thoughtful expression.]

For you, perhaps. I have other designs.

[The double smiles just a little.]

You're not going to get in the way of that, now are you?

[If it comes to it, the double is fairly sure she can find something to keep him in line. This one might still be fond of that dog. Or prone to distraction.]

[feelslikeimspilling]

[ Will smirked at that comment, considering Will's main saving grace was his ability to read other peoples designs. ]

Oh?

[ He could do it himself, empathize and see just want her plan was, but he didn't want Will to find out that easily, so decided against it. Holding his hands up and stepping back, pulling and amused expression. ]

Oh, I wouldn't dream of getting in your way, Maketh.

[mismanagement]

[That was probably a lie on some level. Nonetheless, the double returned his smile.]

Minister Tua, if you please. We ought to call things by their proper names.

[feelslikeimspilling]

[ Of course it was a lie. Will Graham had made it his business to get in her way. Every since she started laying the law down heavy on him. No, he wasn't about to bother her now. ]

Really?...

[ Hiding the small laugh that he wanted to let out. His smirk said it all, though. ]

Well then Minister Tua, I'll be on my way now... I'll return these when this is all over.

[ Taking a few copies of files he'd found. Nothing special. Mostly just the address and contact info for a few woman who all look very similar. ]
