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?

Though Rey can take a lot of heavy hits, the sheer force of this speed tells her that this is one impact she is better off avoiding.

At least she's seen Shadow do this before. Back with the zombies. He'd detonated one of her lunchbox explosives. Stupid thing to get flustered over, but it was a waste.

If what she knows about Carlisle is right, then Shadow is only doing what is instructed of him. She'd rather not have to draw her gun on the oversized hedgehog, but she isn't about to make herself a target, either.

Everyone comes back eventually, right?

Mostly everyone, anyway.

"Son of a bitch," Rey hisses between her teeth. Her feet kicking out of the way of Shadow's speed. Moving into the air. The sole of a boot bounces off the wall of a nearby building before she snags a metal railing trailing along the side in one hand. With the other, she pulls out a pistol, and aims for a shot.

Between shooting Shadow or 'Carlisle', she'd rather keep her eyes on the two-faced dead ringer prize.

In good news for the other Carlisle, his original's adventures away from his world have granted him the knowledge of not only what a modern pistol looks like, but why he should avoid getting shot by one, as well. His eyes widen as he recognizes the device and darts for the nearest building, ducking for cover behind the wall.

He trusts his compelled protector will take care of her for him, but should his influence falter, he'll have to force another command upon Shadow and make him comply.
