Event Post: Dead Ringers

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.

TIMELINE STUFF

[circumitus]

Just getting all my ducks in a row between plotting comments and individual comments on plurk, so here's a general rundown of what I plan for this event:

16th-20th; Open season for anyone who wants to interact with Rey and/or her double with them and their doubles.
+ Firo (whose double will try to kill the real Rey)
+ Bianca (whose double might ultimately attempt to manipulate and/or kill?)
+ Anyone else! I'll have a top level so it's all good. :)

21st; Rey will find out that her explosives cache is missing. At around this time, double!Rey (and Satwo) will have a grave prepped for the original + casket. Plotting explodies can then ensue afterwards in between dealing with Satone.

22nd-24th; Rey is Buried Alive. Afterwards, the double will confront Nick. Nick sees through the double's ruse and figures out what the hell happened to the real Rey using his handy dandy Detective Prowess. Sharon can then join in on the fun.

23rd; Attack on Guard HQ: Part Deux. ReyTwo and Satwo will have a riot with this one. Maybe make a network post for this rather than a separate log. (See, it's funny because Nick will be preoccupied trying to find Rey to deal with this. I just imagine these two would be Giant Shits like that.) Either way it'll be easier to do a network post than log this shit out so I don't die inside.

25th; Fair game to deal with the aftermath. I am open to having someone take out ReyTwo, or maybe Rey takes herself out in a Roaring Rampage of Revenge style because there is also some morbid irony because of reasons.

And that's it! There's still some wiggle room between the 16th-20th and the 23rd, so anyone who's anyone is free to hop in.
