hadriel_logs | 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?

[Ushahin looks rather like a broken little marionette that has had his strings cut. He lifts his head only with great effort and is gratified to see Nick kneeling beside him. He even manages the ghost of a smile, his pale skin an unhealthy chalk white as he answers her.]

Oh, hullo Nick. [He wraps his bloodied hand around her wrist in a weak grasp.] I was foolish. One of the doubles attacked me. I only just got away.

Shit, shit - it wasn't mine, was it? No, don't answer that, don't talk, it's -

[That's what you're supposed to tell people when they're bleeding out in front of you, right? Don't talk, stay still, help is coming, only there isn't any help coming, because this is Hadriel and they only have a clinic, not a hospital, and there's no 911 to call, and -

And Nick doesn't need any of that, really. She can help. She's done it before with Emily, and there's no reason to believe she wouldn't be able to do it again.]

Hold on, OK? I can fix this.

[Still kneeling next to him, she closes her eyes, focuses her energy, and changes to Morphus. Her eyes, now hinged glass doll's eyes, blink open again, and she places her porcelain hand over Ushahin's on her wrist.]

This might feel a little weird.

[Her voices echoes inside her hollow doll's body, and Nick doesn't take a deep breath, because she doesn't actually have lungs in this form to do so, but she closes her eyes and concentrates, picturing his wounds patching themselves up, willing it to be done as she thinks it.]
