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?

What do you mean, your magic?

[Grammatical weirdness aside, Ronan finds his interest piqued at Warrick's explanation, and he looks toward the axe for a moment, before shifting his gaze back to the other man's face, critical and still not entirely convinced.]

Give it a whack with that and you'll kill most things.

Uhh. Okay, this is going to suck, but it's the fastest way to explain it all, so...

[He chokes up his grip on the axe to steady the blade, then uses his thumb to peel his glove off of his free hand. He's not used to having his hands uncovered -- it was a sign of a mender back in Oz, supposedly, not that Ozma ever had hers covered. That was kinda odd. It was safer for him, with his curse condition, anyway -- but it's better than ruining his gloves. With a grimace, Warrick presses the heel of his palm into the blade, then jerks it down to slice the skin open. Almost immediately, a green glow envelopes his hand, and the cut closes on back up.]

If that thing is really like me, it can heal itself, and I'm kind of...harder to keep dead than most to begin with? [What with that whole "no heart, no life" thing.]

[Ronan watches, still as Warrick cuts himself. He doesn't move or say much of anything, but his brow furrows as the cut magically closes itself back up.]

...so how do you kill it?
