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?

[ Dean wasn't clueless to the power held within his touch, to the force he was weidling with his very presence. Dean didn't come close to it, he never truly had, and there was nothing he could do to change the way that Cas stared him down, the intentions ghosting through his expressions making Dean both want to salivate and shove back that much harder. He wanted to tear them both apart and Cas was already getting in the way, wanting to define this by his standards and leaving nothing else to take. ]

I think we could--

[ But there wasn't nearly enough time to make whatever statement he was about to, when Cas' hand pushed at the center of his chest and all the raging power that came behind it sent him flying. He went just far enough to hurt, missing a nearby tree and landing with a crash on his backside against the ground. It was enough to scuff the grass and pick up dirt, grinding rocks against his back as Dean forced himself back up to his palms and then his feet. ]

That's one way to strike a deal.

[ Dean didn't really understand it, either. Oh, he'd used Castiel, now and again, but the impact of his power had really dulled over the years, as if he simply took it for granted. Dean saw him as another brother, a member of the Scooby Gang; he had forgotten in many ways that Castiel was an angel. Even sleeping with him, it was easy to forget.

Now, with the other Dean knocked on his back, Castiel stepped forward, made bold, solid movements, closing the distance with him, sizing him up all over again. ]

I wanted to remind you that I could deconstruct you with no effort at all. I'm not a prisoner of my power, the way that He is. I will tear you to pieces with my bare hands, if I feel like it.

So if I keep you alive because you can do to Him what I never could...then I suggest you take the win.
