hadriel_logs | Event Log: Dead Ringers

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?

Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

Seeing this doll thing attack some other creature is scary. Seeing this doll thing attack her is terrifying.

Emily screams and does the first thing that comes to mind, which is to all but throw herself flat on the ground so the cloud flies over her. It doesn't touch her, but she's half convinced it has anyway, because she's seen what these powers can do. She cranes her neck to check -- okay, no burns or anything like that.

The creepy doll-voice echoes in her head still, and now that she's on the ground, it's so much harder to get up. Where can she go? Nick could probably break through any door or wall or anything in her quest to kill her.

"Fuck you," Emily hisses as she forces herself to get up. She's on her hands and knees, then a crouch, breathing the strength back into her legs. "Racist bitch. Fucking murderer."

Maybe she can get Nick to monologue long enough for her to figure out where to run. It's the best she's got right now.
