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?

I've given in before and it wasn't worth it.

[ she lets him have his pause, if only so he can hear her words better. if he actually listens, it'll be so much easier to make him see reason, make him see that there would be no better teacher for him than her. if the original ahsoka won't fight for it, this one will. ]

One lose control when they're angry and I watched Anakin do it over and over again. I know him better than you ever could and I can tell you that his power means nothing when he doesn't know where to focus it. [ she shakes her head, gesturing with one lightsaber. ] He doesn't have the control that I do. If you choose to listen only to him, you won't either.

[Kylo Ren is a stubborn fool. He listens but he doesn't yet understand. Anger was the key to the Dark Side. But if that's all it took, he would've finished his training years ago. He's set Anakin on a pedestal and doesn't understand that the man has weaknesses like everyone else.]

No. You're wrong. I can become a Sith by training with him. [He lifts his lightsaber back up, unwilling to listen to reason. She'll have to beat it into him, for Kylo only listens to those who have proven themselves more powerful than him. She may have done so once, but the lesson clearly hasn't stuck.]

[ ahsoka parries his next swing, spins on one foot to put more power behind her next swipe at him, teeth bared. ]

You don't get it! Sith are limited, held back by their view of the galaxy and you are capable of so much more.

[ and she deserves so much more respect. that's the driving force behind her blows, quick and sharp and usually reserved for particularly frustrating monsters. ]

[darthvaderfanboy]

[He's able to parry her blows, but only just. His moves are increasingly desperate, trying to keep her from slicing anything important. He can feel the heat of her lightsabers as she presses her advantage.]

And you think you're the one who can teach me that?
