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?

You're--

[Lying.

But Chara can't say that. Can't call something that still wears Asriel's face a liar. Can't...look at his double because it's like looking into a mirror and nobody likes looking at themselves.

"Kill or be killed." Look at what you created. You look people in the eyes Chara.

But they can't.

It's clear Asriel's double plans on leaving and Chara can't bring themselves to stop him. And his final words are another slap to the face, the cherry on top of things. It's nothing new. Nobody thought Chara was a good person and obviously Chara themselves didn't think it either. They would have not met Asriel if they thought they were 'good' by any stretch of the imagination.

But it's one thing to hear the expected from other people and from Chara's own thoughts. It's another to hear it from their Best Friend.]

...I suppose so. I am a horrible person and clearly you know it as much as I do. And if Asriel wishes to no longer be friends with me then I will respect that. We know what kind of poison I am.

[Chara kills, over time or right then and there. At the end of the day they always poisoned those they loved. Asriel was doomed to live as a SOUL-less flower. Asgore and Toriel had a wedge driven between them, a loving family destroyed. Frisk was now LV 4 because they were weak and got possessed by a real demon.

It hurts. It hurts but it would be better for Asriel if they were no longer in his life. And if his double was right and he was....gone, then Chara would have to talk to him after he revived.

They turn to leave themselves. In Chara's opinion...there was nothing left to be said.]
