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?

[ Oh good, she was willingly inviting him into her home. She must still trust him for the most part, or she's not worked out that she's not talking to the Will she knows. ]

I'll be over soon. Just have a few things to tidy up before I leave. Is there anything you need me to bring?

[ He was going to have fun with this. Deciding not to pass comment on either of their cooking. He didn't think Jill would be much of a cook and yet he assumed she would have known that Will didn't do much cooking for himself... Maybe she was on to him after all? ]

[Given her cooking experience, she'd say Winston is probably a better cook than she is.]

No, just whatever you think Winston will need if he's going to be at my place for awhile. You know what he likes better than I do.

[Since she can't sit around and drink all day, and it appears she'll see Will later, Jill gets up from her seat.]

I'll see you later, then?

[ He smiled, taking a sip from his drink. He was trying not to be too rude to her, but it was hard to bite his tongue. Instead, he watched as she stood to get up. ]/small>

Are you still here? Sure, I'll see you over at yours.

[ Turning away from Jill and facing the barmaid instead, making small, flirtatious conversation with her and ignoring Jill as she left. He didn't want to outright say he wasn't Will, so he kept some of his traits as he chatted up the other woman, such as not looking her in the eyes for too long and choosing to use fancy metaphors and flowery words from time to time.

He was going to have fun with this. Giving Will a bad name. ]

[Jill headed to the door, but couldn't help but notice as Will began chatting with the attractive woman behind the bar. Sure, he didn't look her in the eyes, but the whole thing still felt strangely off.

Guess she'd have to continue her investigation, but do so discretely. She didn't want to jeopardize the real Will's safety if something had happened to him.]
