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?

[ The double hates it too. Silly jokes to mask the truth is Rose's style too, however. ]

I could do this all day, dude! Rose was a fighter. Is, really. Always will be. Even if she hates to think so.

[ She zips towards him again, expecting to miss again. In reality, that's kind of the point because- ]

Besides, I think I've got a lot more energy than you do right now.

[skelebro]

[She, uh...well, she ain't wrong. She's got seemingly boundless reserves, and he was flagging long before he even got here.]

Hey, swing and a miss -

[A swing and a MISS indeed, but he's feelin' more than a little bone tired at this whole escapade now. Who'da figured, right?]

So where's the real you, anyway?

[If she's dead too -


Well, he'll burn that bridge if he gets to it.]

[hasitsthorns]

Hiding out somewhere like the coward she is, probably. Avoidance is her forte.

[ That's not news to Sans, probably. Or anyone that knows Rose enough to know she deflects. Avoids. Runs. ]

[skelebro]

I can respect that.

[It means she ain't dead, and that's really - that's really all he cares about, if he's honest. He's reached his limit on caring about things just now, see.]

In fact, I think I might just have to take after her fine example.

[hasitsthorns]

Of course you can.

[ Circling back to their original topic, aren't they? That's fine by here. ]

How about one more for the road?

[ Schoom. Yet another blur of fangs and claws coming his way. ]

[skelebro]

[Yeah, nah, he's good, thanks. As she zips for him, he dissipates - or, uh, something happens. It's not entirely clear what. All that's obvious from the outlook is that one second he's there, and the next - he's gone.

Took a shortcut. As he does.]
