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 determination experiments.

She knows precisely what to say to ensure their attention is on her, and her alone. It's the word, really- one that they've heard plenty of times. Gotta stay that way. Got a little something called...

That's the trick, though.

Only two people ever use it.

Their hand goes straight to their chest, and the more she says, the tighter they grip the fabric. They know




All of those SOULs. They know them. Wouldn't be here without them. And she's so excited about it. I built a machine to take their Determination. That's all they are. A line. It makes it pretty easy, to intimidate them. One step backwards for every step forward she takes, as she speaks about human SOULs like they're an afterthought. As she speaks of her own people as- something horrid. Nothing better than animals.





So perhaps it's surprising, when they draw their knife.

Or perhaps it isn't.]
