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?

[Nice try.

Chara doesn't go for their knife first and instead immediately takes off after her. And after dealing with the Undying and Sans, they are fast.

And all they need to do is catch a bit of her coat. After that, unless she lets go of the Locket, Chara will not let go either.

So, what's it going to be?]

[kairotic]

[Damnit. She was sure they'd go back for that, and they're too quick for her to get straight out, so she digs her heel into the ground and tries to swing them on their own speed into the nearest wall. She has no intention of getting into a real *FIGHT here, but she'll do what she has to to make it own on top here.]

L-Let go you little gremlin--!

[somuchlove]

[They do skid a little but ultimately their grip remains firm. Chara's much like those flowers - once they've gotten a hold of you, they're never letting go.

Not unless Alphys's double lets go first.]

I don't think so. You have something of mine.

[There's her hint about what to give up if she wants to get away. Just let go of the Locket and they'll be on their way.

If not...? Well, Chara has no problem picking it out of her dust.]

[kairotic]

[Uuuuugh. This little demon.]

It's not yours if I h-have it, you whelp. Let go before I have to kill you myself.

[somuchlove]

I would love to see you try. Go on, enact revenge for Undyne and Mettaton. Try and pick out their dust from my hands. But I know you won't, you coward.

[They're not going to let go until Alphys hands over the Locket. And she likely knows the dangers of entering close combat with Chara.

So....is Alphys's double willing to stick around for a fight? Or will she give into their words?]
