Event Log: Dead Ringers

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?

► This log covers January 16th-January 25th.

Warrick Chopper | ota, i'm bracket trash but you do you!

[personal profile] purpleknee 2017-01-16 11:09 pm (UTC)(link)
[A - a wicked boy]

[By this point, Warrick playing with fire or hanging around the library aren’t sights that are all that unusual. Most of the time he’s kept the books far, far away from the fires though -- as one does when they don’t want their main form of entertainment to go to ashes. Not today!]

Put out the fire, put out the fire, put out the fire, [The witch is singing softly to himself as he tosses another book in, which of course does the exact opposite of that.] Oh you need a bullet like a hole in your head!

[He continues his cheerful skipping until he’s got a good number of books alight, and then he stops to critique his work for a moment before flicking his wrist again and causing them all to float up and flap their beautiful, burning wings. Burning book birds. Time to take them to a temple.]

[B - a wicked (?) boy]

[Anyone showing signs of injury or illness can expect a concerned-looking Warrick coming up to them and waving anxiously.]

Excuse me, I’m a mender. I can help!

[This could be either Warrick or his double. If you don’t have a preference, tell me to rng it!]

[C - a dumb boy]

[If there’s anything Warrick’s familiar with, it’s his wicked habits. So clearly the smartest option is to go to the orchard, which he has previously threatened, wielding an axe and looking disturbed.

Yep, that’ll work out great for him.]


[D - which witch is which]

Hey! Get back here!

No! Get away from me, you’re insane!

Where are you even going?

To the river so I can throw you in it!

Wh -- you wouldn’t dare.

It’s for the good of the people!

[The two green witches will continue to bicker mid-air across the cave, occasionally gesturing angrily with an axe or shaking a fist. Very effective.]

[And on that trip to a temple, Sato - or Satwo, the double, rather - runs across the street in front of Warrick's double. Not long after he's out of sight, the original Sato trots up the street, machete already unsheathed and bloody, in fact.

So he's all ready for what would certainly normally be a very unpleasant interaction when he spots the lean mean green machine.]


Oh, hello again!
purpleknee: (below)

[personal profile] purpleknee 2017-01-19 01:43 am (UTC)(link)
[Never before has Sato seen Warrick so delighted.]

Oh good! [The double claps his hands together, even if it means he's even more distracted from keeping his menagerie afloat. Pissing off the gods wasn't as simple a solution as this guy, it just came with more of an entertaining fallout for the real Warrick to deal with. Not that he thinks Warrick will have a good time coming back from this one, come to think of it...

Well, both is good.]
I was hoping I'd get to see you. Walk with me! I have good news and bad news. We can talk about it on the way.
infinite1up: (Confident smiles)

[personal profile] infinite1up 2017-01-19 01:55 am (UTC)(link)
Unfortunately, I'm in the middle of something.. although I suppose I have a moment or two.

[He muses. He can still catch up with his double. For right now, at least, he has the upper hand, and it's a fun fight. Maybe he can afford to give him a little more of a headstart.

After all, whatever is going on here is downright unusual too.]


What's this news?
purpleknee: (blithe smile blithe limb)

[personal profile] purpleknee 2017-01-19 02:13 am (UTC)(link)
[Well, no one said they can't go in the double's direction. Here, "Warrick" will even pick up his pace some. Wouldn't want to keep his new buddy from missing out on fun of his own.]

Bad news first. This is not the Warrick you're looking for. [He doesn't understand the reference but he knows it's a thing Earth people say... What a loser.] You can go ahead and stab me a little later, though! That's sort of good news. The real good news is... I know of something better than stabbing, when it comes to dealing with our mutual friend.
infinite1up: (Quirky smile #1)

[personal profile] infinite1up 2017-01-24 12:56 am (UTC)(link)
[This is curious. Of course the answer comes easily by putting two and two together. He's not the only one with a malicious double floating around, it seems.]

Oh, really? That's very forthcoming of you.
purpleknee: (a cyclone caught a house)

[personal profile] purpleknee 2017-01-25 05:05 am (UTC)(link)
I'm a very forthcoming guy. Hard to have a filter when you've got no heart to make you give a shit.

[He gives a cheerful shrug, then starts to look around. Sato isn't a concern for him, apparently.]

That's the ticket, you know. For getting rid of him. Idiot cast that curse on himself and all the healing magic in the world can't reanimate that corpse body if he dies to the other side effect of it. He's weak to water, can you believe it? It's a pain for me, too. Can't even have a drink like I deserve.
infinite1up: (Default)

[personal profile] infinite1up 2017-01-27 12:34 am (UTC)(link)
Oh, that's interesting. Always one surprise or another around here.

[Has he ever seen a super-soaker in the shops? If not, maybe after he finishes with his own double maybe it'll be time to go on the hunt again.

But if he's talking with someone else's, this seems like a good opportunity to ask...]


What do you get out of telling me this? I could use it to kill you too.
purpleknee: (eyes meet)

[personal profile] purpleknee 2017-01-27 12:48 am (UTC)(link)
Hmn?

[He glances back over, still not taking it seriously by his body language.]

I want him gone, you want to kill him... It's just good sense to use resources like you. I've already offered you opportunities for fun that he's been so selfish about, so I don't know why you wouldn't want to get along.

What the fuck are you doing with that?

[Luckily- or unluckily- Ronan has caught Warrick before his own untimely death at the hands of his double, and so the boy staring down the warlock here is the original, just as angry and lacking in chill as ever.

Also, he loves this orchard and his friends love this orchard, so good luck proving your innocence.]


You can't cut down trees here. They won't fucking grow back.
purpleknee: (and everything he sees)

[personal profile] purpleknee 2017-01-19 06:00 pm (UTC)(link)
[Warrick jumps a little, grip tightening on the axe's handle, but when he realizes he's not looking at himself, he relaxes again.

...Oh wait, haha, this person looks mad at him.]


What? [Great start. His dumb stare changes into one of earnest when it dawns on him.] Oh! No no no, I'm not here for that. I'm done with trying to destroy this place. Really!
greywaren: (ɪғ ɪ'ᴍ ᴀ ᴘᴀɢᴀɴ ᴏғ ᴛʜᴇ ɢᴏᴏᴅ ᴛɪᴍᴇs)

[personal profile] greywaren 2017-01-21 10:42 am (UTC)(link)
'Done'? You've tried before?

[He comments, his gaze shifting between the axe and Warrick's face. Ronan's glare is snakelike, uncompromising, clearly not about to take any bullshit.]

The fuck are you doing with an axe, then?
purpleknee: (don't dream too far)

[personal profile] purpleknee 2017-01-21 08:13 pm (UTC)(link)
Well... Okay, uh.

[Uhhh. Hoo boy. His eyes shift over to the axe, which he awkwardly lowers.]

I was evil and then I got better. It's a long story. I've only got it now because I want to stop the guy that looks like me, alright? I have magic, but it's mostly good for healing, not taking care of the worst insult to twins in all the lands. [Which he's...not sure if he can raise an axe against something that looks so human, but... Hey, he's seen an evil copy of himself before! All Warricks Must Die, or something.]
greywaren: (Default)

[personal profile] greywaren 2017-01-23 01:25 pm (UTC)(link)
You... got better.

[Sure, dude. Ronan is just looking at him a little skeptically, but- well. Times are strange.]

You're gonna kill him with that thing?
purpleknee: (to the land of what might have been)

[personal profile] purpleknee 2017-01-25 05:16 am (UTC)(link)
...Yes. Very better.

[god this sounds like such a shitty argument, maybe because it isn't even an argument. His voice has weakened to reflect his inner-facepalming.]

I...don't know. [His grip slackens even more.] I'm a mender, not -- not a murderer. I can try, I guess. Better that it looks like me than someone else -- I don't know if I could otherwise. [And he's still weak in both heart and body so really it's going to go so smoothly you don't even know.] ...Although if it has all my magic, it won't kill it.
greywaren: (ᴋᴇᴇᴘ ᴛʜᴇ ɢᴏᴅᴅᴇss ᴀᴛ ᴍʏ sɪᴅᴇ)

[personal profile] greywaren 2017-01-29 01:32 pm (UTC)(link)
What do you mean, your magic?

[Grammatical weirdness aside, Ronan finds his interest piqued at Warrick's explanation, and he looks toward the axe for a moment, before shifting his gaze back to the other man's face, critical and still not entirely convinced.]

Give it a whack with that and you'll kill most things.
purpleknee: (rub your eyes)

[personal profile] purpleknee 2017-01-31 05:28 pm (UTC)(link)
Uhh. Okay, this is going to suck, but it's the fastest way to explain it all, so...

[He chokes up his grip on the axe to steady the blade, then uses his thumb to peel his glove off of his free hand. He's not used to having his hands uncovered -- it was a sign of a mender back in Oz, supposedly, not that Ozma ever had hers covered. That was kinda odd. It was safer for him, with his curse condition, anyway -- but it's better than ruining his gloves. With a grimace, Warrick presses the heel of his palm into the blade, then jerks it down to slice the skin open. Almost immediately, a green glow envelopes his hand, and the cut closes on back up.]


If that thing is really like me, it can heal itself, and I'm kind of...harder to keep dead than most to begin with? [What with that whole "no heart, no life" thing.]

[Things have gotten a little weird around this cave. Well, weirder than usual. However, at least it's providing a dose of high entertainment. Right now, he's watching what he can only assume are two green aliens bickering as badly as he and Hux tend to. This is great. He does take cover when he notices one of them with a weapon in his hands.]

Watch the axe. [This will be a lot less amusing if that sharp object gets dropped.]
purpleknee: (when reality sets back in)

[personal profile] purpleknee 2017-01-20 06:44 am (UTC)(link)
[The two stop, stares going blank and the aforementioned axe raised comically.]

Wh --

[The one without the axe drops onto the ground with a gasp, black coat losing some of the wispy quality it had while he was flying.] He's -- we? -- I'm a warlock! We need to stop him before he --

Sweet Lurline, I'm a mender. Just stop talking! No wonder people hate heartless me.
darthvaderfanboy: (Dramatic)

[personal profile] darthvaderfanboy 2017-01-21 10:36 am (UTC)(link)
[Kylo watches the two of them go back and forth, head moving back and forth as if he's watching a tennis match. He's more amused than anything else.]

So is this a private affair or can anyone join in?
purpleknee: (every so often we long to steal)

[personal profile] purpleknee 2017-01-21 08:19 pm (UTC)(link)
[The one on the ground moves over to Kylo, a mixture of relieved and anxious.]

I can shield you from his axe, if you can really help! But we need to get him to water if we want to stop him for good.

[Finally, the other Warrick drops down, but he's far more wary -- plus a little confused -- and holds his position.]
darthvaderfanboy: (Default)

[personal profile] darthvaderfanboy 2017-01-22 02:52 am (UTC)(link)

How do I know which one of you is the real one?

[He's not entirely concerned about which one is the original and which one is the double. But he supposes there might be someone else in the cave who might object if he helps dispose of the wrong one. He'd prefer to avoid that headache.]

purpleknee: (sudden silence)

[personal profile] purpleknee 2017-01-22 03:06 am (UTC)(link)
He's the one trying to kill me!

[And looking far more annoyed than distressed. The axe-wielding Warrick splutters a second before making a gesture. It's pretty rude if you're an Ozite.]

You're the one talking about drowning, here! Oh come on, you [Kylo gets a gesture now, but it's a general one and not rude at all.] aren't stupid enough to fall for this, are you?

You can tell he's wicked, can't you? But I have a heart now, Hope gave it to --

Hey, I worked hard for that! I'm not being wicked, I'm being mad at you.
darthvaderfanboy: (Default)

[personal profile] darthvaderfanboy 2017-01-22 03:22 am (UTC)(link)

[Kylo is trying very hard to be composed, but there's a slow grin making its way across his face. And here he was thinking he and Hux were bad. He holds out a gloved hand and the two Warricks will find themselves being pushed farther apart, courtesy of the Force.]

Girls, girls, you're both pretty. [Then a wicked idea enters his mind.] Give me a good reason why I shouldn't drown both of you and be done with it.

purpleknee: (ding dong the merry-o)

[personal profile] purpleknee 2017-01-22 03:36 am (UTC)(link)
[O-kay that's some weird magic he doesn't like very much. Either of him.

...And he doesn't like the words much, either! The pair stop again.]


Great. Good. Fantastic. He's found more crazy people. Wonderful.

Why isn't anyone in this cave normal... Or -- Wait. Are -- are you another one of them?
