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?

[While it doesn't full capacitate her, it gives him enough time to fight back. His arms are useless, the left one broken and the right one having a chunk taken out of the shoulder. So he curls his legs up and kicks out, pushing her off of him. Then he scrambles to his feet, unsteady as the blood pours and gushes down his right arm.]

Stay away from me, you monster!

[He pulls out the sword that is always at his side, pointing it unsteadily at Rose's double. He almost never uses it, but this is an unusual circumstance. He begins to back up, careful to never turn his back on her.]

[ Teeth stained with blood bare in a snarl at the word 'monster.' The display is threatening but also a tinge smug. Unlike Rose, this copy of her revels in her monstrous nature. Embraces it. He can call her a monster all he likes and she'll tell him he's right. ]

Like you're any better! [ They both have their dark sides. Rose may not seen it as much as others have but she's not that naive. There were reasons Newt and Hermann and Sans all told her to avoid Ushahin. But her idealistic self always gave people chances. ]

But fine. Run away. Not much meat on your bones anyway.
