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?

Fun?

[A powerfully incredulous snort gusts from the ice alien's nostrils, and he tosses his head once.] I woke up only to discover that not only have all of the bonds I've forged in this cave been severed, but that I have been reduced to a mere pawn of the gods... and that the only way to change this wretched situation is to move against one of my own kind. So no, I am not having fun.

( Well. That's certainly. Dramatic. Kate just tilts her head, watching him for a moment too long. )

Plenty to do that won't involve killing your own. ( She doesn't plan on killing herself, if only because it's going to be more fun to watch the little twerp's face twist in pain, watch her try to hold back her feelings as it hits home again and again that she really should just give into these things, to what she is behind all the layers of overworking and responsibility.

Just another monster. )

If you are suggesting I go after any of the people in this cave that have shown me kindness, then you should rethink. The gods have tried to reduce me to a mere monster, but I will not have it. I will take back from my double what is rightfully mine, not push them all away. [As satisfying as it would be to watch Glacius grovel after warping people's perception of him, he is still a copy of a creature with strong attachments. He doesn't want to hurt anyone that doesn't deserve it--his only issue is with his double, who is keeping him apart from everything he knew.]

( Kate shakes her head. Although, it could be fun. She'd like to get her hands on some of the people her idiot self has started to care for. Honestly. She really should know better than that by now, should know that her attempts at friendship will more likely end in pain and suffering.

(In death, for some. For others, well. Just look at the ruins of where she once called home. Those who are unscathed, mentally and physically? Their time will come.) )

Could go after th' Gods, but no one's figured out how t' hurt them yet. ( It's a problem. Even Faith's fire has only destroyed their temples, was only really fun, wanton violence for the sake of sending a message.

Kind of like Manchester, really. )

'Course, there's plenty in th' caves.
