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?

And you think t-that will scare me? I'm not some sniveling weakling like the real Alphys. But I'm sure she'd be happy to know you'd be willing to threaten someone w-with that violence.

[Not so fantastic now, are you Frisk? But she's sure she doesn't have to tell them that.]

She truly doesn't blame you, you know. She thinks it's entirely her f-fault. And she always will.

[Never been fantastic. They'd like to think they don't have to tell her that, either- but monsters are weird.

Even so, it's hard to be afraid of what Alphys would think, when they're already certain she's scared of it. Just like Sans. Just like Asriel.]

Then I'll tell her she's wrong. Just like you're wrong.

[Because that's the difference right now, isn't it?

Alphys wouldn't do this.]

You have to leave now.

Don't come back.

['Alphys wouldn't do this'. But are you sure, Frisk? Can you really be certain?]

Remember how much you have the p-potential to hurt. This exists within her, as well.

[She turns to go, before looking back over her shoulder, smug.]

Don't forget that she will hurt you.

[And she disappears, out the door, and back out to the city at large.]
