Event Post: Dead Ringers

[hadrielmods]

THE RUNDOWN

Seeing as to how Confusion and Fear are both glorified internet trolls, it's no surprise that they would team up so quickly to snag a little extra power here and there. Unfortunately, this extra power is going to be at the expense of you all, and it'll probably look pretty familiar...

On January 16th, the city will be flooded with doubles of each (opting-in) character. These doubles aren't a fighting army or anything like that- instead, they're sneaky, duplicitous, and out to ruin the lives of the original. They have all the same memories and abilities as their originals, but their purpose will be to cause hardship and ruin the lives of their originals. They'll do this in any way possible- from simple things like fighting with their best friend, to more drastic things, like hurting someone or destroying something that the original loves.

While they don't necessarily have to be violent, it only makes sense that they would try to remove their original from the picture through murder or imprisoning them somewhere. The more the doubles can give off the impression that nothing out of the ordinary is going on, the more effective they can be- and so any confrontation with their original is ideally going to be alone, where others can't see them. Due to this, it may take some time before the ordinary citizens realize that anything is going on... and by then, it might be too late.

Can you kill someone who looks identical to you? Can you trust anyone, when your best friend may actually be out to kill you and your roommate might be secretly planning to set your bed on fire?

THE DETAILS

Each player will play both their own character and their double for the event. If the double kills the original, then they will have the pleasure of playing an evil clone until the event is over! Doubles will not have network access on their own, but after they've... taken care of the originals, they can use their phones and network ID to continue sowing discord that way.

Additionally, all doubles will be able to recognize one another. Whether they use this to plot among themselves or simply to easier isolate the non-doubled targets is up to you!

Hope will be unable to resurrect the originals (if they die) until January 25th, which signals the end of the event. If the original managed to kill their clone, then they have nothing to worry about- if the original wasn't quite so lucky and the double lived on until Confusion's disbanding, then the originals may come back to live with the memories of what their double had done, though that's up to the player!

THE OVERVIEW

► January 16th: The doubles infiltrate the city, intent on taking the place of their originals or ruining their lives some other way.
► January 20th: By now, it's fairly obvious that Hope isn't resurrecting any of the dead originals!
► January 25th: Confusion finally sends the clones away, leaving Hope free to resurrect the dead remaining in the city. The event is over, and the originals may gain the memories of what their clones did in their absence.

Comments

AM

[godofthemachine]

AM will likely sit this event out due to the fact that he just arrived and is still trying to figure out using an actual body that can actually move and feel and stuff. Plus, he doesn't know anyone here yet!

However, I love love love evil double events and I am so sad that it just isn't feasible for AM to participate at this moment. Regardless I do want him to hit up other doubles.

If you want AM to have horrible, blackmailing dirt on your characters, please do have him interact with their doubles and he will keep this blackmail in a special place. :') Plus he's also fairly weak right now as he still is figuring out this whole "having a body" thing, so please feel free to be violent or horrible toward him. (He deserves it ngl)

[godofthemachine]

Yes and yes. Do want.

[godofthemachine]

She will also express absolutely no liking for anything machine that possesses its own sentience, and regard them as soulless objects rather than individuals.

GOOD.

Will Graham

[feelslikeimspilling]

Will is going to have his double causing quite a lot of trouble for him, as well as everyone else. For those of you familiar with the Hannibal canon, you might remember the Chesapeake Ripper and how Hannibal was trying to frame and convince Will that he was, in fact, the murderer. Well, for this event, Will's double is going to be that man! He's going to be everything Will was scared of being.

What does this mean for you? Well, it's simple really! Will's double is going to be targeting people to kill. Not only is he going to be going around killing as he pleases, but he's also going to be taking organs from his victims and eating them... Possibly even trying to get unsuspected people to eat the organs with him.

There is going to be no obvious difference between Will and his double, so if you know Will well enough or have only encountered him a few times, you probably won't notice adifference until it's too late!

Will's double is going to kidnap Will and try to take over his life. He's going to be going after people Will has significant CR with be it positive or negative so watch your back! Towards the end of the event, Will is going to manage to get free and fight his double, resulting in him killing his double (after getting royally fucked up!)

If you'd like to avoid having Will 1 and Will 2 interacting with you during this event, just drop me a line, I'm pretty chill ^u^ or if you'd like to help rescue Will and fight off the evil one, also let me know and we can set something up!

Tiny Tina

[burn_all_the_babies]

Not really got any massively exciting plans for Tina during this, mostly going to have her and her double arguing between themselves and going around together terrorizing the residents of Hadriel.

The only real danger is, Tina's double will not be as careful what she'd blowing up. So! If you're down to have her ruin some of your property or part of your home, let me know!

Turing

[turingmachine]

Turing hasn't really made a lot of friends yet, and Turing's double is too small and cowardly to try murdering anyone, so they'll be resorting to property destruction and offending Turing's sensibilities instead!

They'll be destroying any art Turing had started to work on while in Hadriel, kidnapping the original Turing and spraypainting them, covering everything in eyesearing graffitti, and generally being incredibly rude and irritating.

Maketh Tua

[mismanagement]

You know how Maketh's had her crisis of faith and resolved to be a better person and not use large scale murder to solve all her problems? Her double will not be sharing those sentiments. The double will also be a fanatic Imperial, utterly devoted to the cause of expanding the Empire, and will consider any ally of real!Maketh's to be a threat. The double also firmly believes in murder as a problem solving tool.

Currently, her double is slated to kill Henry Percy, then kill the original Maketh, and go on a villain rant about the superiority of the Empire. She will also be working to undermine the guardsmen in any way she can.

Bring it.

peter parker & jack benjamin

[benumbing]

peter parker just got here so opting him out. but he is available to web up doubles - or originals, oops.

jack benjamin has always had a touch of spite in him, and has dealt with his life through alcohol, denial, and occasional bursts of violence. he's gradually tried to do better while in the cave, largely thanks to the examples of better people. his double will be having none of that. it will be determined to ruin things for him through as many selfish words and actions as possible, all the while trying to shame and convince jack that this is who he really is anyway. jack's double won't be trying to kill the original, since it wants him to witness as much of this as possible, but it will be as slippery as a snake. if anyone wants to plot out killing his double, i'm in!

cecily trevelyan & hannah washington

[closerift]

let's start with hannah!! she will be immediately killed by her double, since she won't be expecting anything, will be horrified to see a double that isn't beth, and has no experience fighting or defending herself. the double will be working with beth's double to exact revenge on the rest of the cast, first, and then... probably to sit back and relax with a drink for a job well done. who knows?? ANYWAY, someone is more than welcome to take her out (particularly someone in the UD cast) either before or after she's done some damage...

cecily will be better off. her double will also try to kill her right away, but she has a lot more experience in this arena. the wounded double will run off, leaving the inquisitor to (at least try and) warn her friends about the encounter. she will then scour the city looking to finish the job, but the double will evade her fairly well and try to pretend she's the real thing in order to hurt cecily's friends and castmates.


good times all around. anyone want to plot?

[therewillbeorder]

Hux will get along great with Maketh's double. Because it's amazing what large scale murder can accomplish.

[mismanagement]

Oh yeah, these two will get along just fine. Much to the horror of everyone else. The double will be very impressed with Starkiller.

[therewillbeorder]

Hux is going to disclose Starkiller's existence and what he did with it during the doubles event with an accidental network post with Kylo Ren. Neither of them have doubles, they are already just horrible people as they are and don't need anyone else to ruin their lives.

So they can gush over superweapons and how many problems blowing up a planet/a star system can solve. Very efficient.

beth washington, leliana + ana amari

[edibles]

beth is going to be killed by her double straight off and will then be working with hannah's double to do awful things to the cast, etc. she is v open for someone to come and stop her!!!

leliana's double is going to mess with her before trying to kill her. it'd be a more 'if leliana had completely gone with marjolaine' type thing, so she's going to be extra sneaky and invisible. when she eventually tries to take out leliana i think kate is taking her out?? but i'm open for anything before that!!!

ana has no double bc ana is new. and horrified about fareeha's double.

Re: cecily trevelyan & hannah washington

[edibles]

eyyyyy girlfrand

[edibles]

Ana will be horrified by this. Which definitely means that I would like a thread with double Fareeha.

Re: cecily trevelyan & hannah washington

[fadeling]

yes hi hello i would like to plot

Re: beth washington, leliana + ana amari

[justice_from_above]

Fareeha's double is going to be so mean to mom :c

Adam Parrish

[unknowable]

Adam's double will only be running around for a day or two before he runs into it, decides it's much better off gone, and kills it. That's not emotionally scarring or anything, so it's fine. After that he'll mainly be dealing with other people's doubles, I think, though that part is all a little up in the air! If you'd like him to run into yours, I'm down with that. He'll be unlikely to kill anyone else's double unless his life is on the line, and then he would feel very bad if they were his friend.

If you want to run into his double before he kills it, that's doable too. It will be inclined to attack people's emotional weaknesses and attempt to drive what few friends Adam has away. It will also be not at all averse to using physical violence, either, though it'd be more likely to do that if Adam is around to see, because it would really upset him. But again, it won't have the chance to do TOO much damage! I'm happy to have anyone run into the double before Adam kills it, though.

[dedikated]

Carrrrliiiiisssslllleeeeee

/reaches for.

[dedikated]

... so are we saying i add to matt's guilt issues y/n?

[dedikated]

evil laughter everywhere.

kate & matt

[dedikated]

Matt is sitting out having a double, because most of the people he'd do awful things to are his cast members and the twins are having enough awful as is, and anything with Em would just be unnecessary retreading. I'm up for him running into people's doubles though!

Kate... well, it's been a while since I ruined her life, so of course she's getting a double. Said double is basically what happens when a girl successfully shuts down her emotions and morals and only really cares about making sure her evil BFF gets to wreck shit as much as possible. She'll also have quite the fun time augmenting said BFF's powers and running into any CR of Kate's just to remind them that, yes, she is the same person who killed and tortured for The Agency. Don't believe the smokescreen of the workaholic clinic admin, please.

Re: rey.

[wormintheglass]

i am here for this.

in some ways it'll be very reassuring for Bianca to see a really bad side of Rey.

[wormintheglass]

Bianca kind of already is the evil double of her original identity, and so she won't be doubling up.

however there are people here whose lives she wouldn't mind ruining, and she basically enjoys chaos and a certain amount of suffering, so if you want someone to help your evil double she might be your girl.

ETA: and if/when she works out that doubles are a thing she will really want to compile everyone's dirty secrets.

Hiiiii evil!Rosie do you need a friend?
