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?

Good! I hope he shows up and you abandon me at this bar to have more fun elsewhere.

Don't worry, you'll find someone. The night is still young.

Thank you. I know, of course, but it's so nice to hear it. I wonder who's free tonight?

Just ask around and find out.

[64th]

It's the best way, isn't it?

[ ok, you've convinced her. good job, fake Connor. ] Should we split up for the evening and compare notes in the morning?

[iustitiae]

Sounds good to me. Good luck tonight.

Thanks. You too. [ Cashmere stands to leave, and then leans in and air kisses his cheek. ] Love you. Be good, but not too good. Can't wait to hear all about it.
