WHO: Open to all Dualizens
WHAT: When Roboclones Attack
WHERE: Anywhere in the city!
WHEN: The night of Oct. 19
WARNINGS: Please use these if applicable! And if you happen to end up dead by roboclone, please fill out the death form!
It’s an ordinary night in Dualis, until it suddenly becomes a very dark and stormy night in Dualis. There hasn’t been a single day of unpleasant weather since any of you arrived, but soon after the sun begins to sink behind the city’s skyscrapers and the neon lights intensify for the night, storm clouds begin to gather overhead and unleash a cacophony of thunder, a deluge of rain, and brilliant spikes of lightning arcing across the sky.
It’s a violent storm, to be sure, but surely severe weather is no challenge in such a technologically advanced city as Dualis, right? As long as you stay indoors, you can keep safe and dry until the storm passes.
Except … less than an hour after the storm begins, the power all across the city goes completely out. All buildings are dark except for the illumination cast by lightning across brick and steel and glass. All electronics - including phones - are dead, all biometric locks are disabled, and no attempts to call, text, or reach the internet or the network succeed. Eerily, the streets are silent and empty.
Under normal circumstances, such a widespread blackout would merely be odd and inconvenient, but tonight, circumstances are anything but normal. About half an hour after the blackout begins, something approaches you, wherever you are. In the dark, you’ll be able to make out that its shape is humanoid, but maybe its motions are jerky and mechanical. As it draws closer and you get a better look, by candlelight or flashlight or flash of lightning, you recognize the face staring back at you.
That face is your own.
The face, like the rest of the body, is likely some degree of incomplete, an incongruous jigsaw of metal and flesh, but it’s definitely yours. And this machine doppelganger’s mission is soon made apparent as it launches a targeted attack on you:
It’s here to kill you.
After nearly four hours, the storm subsides and the power is restored and the city falls back into its normal rhythm. Will you survive until then?
May the odds be ever in your favor, friends.

"Aw, hell," he mutters, "not this shit again." He's had quite enough of evil twin attacks, thanks.
"Don't suppose it's gonna be any use to ask 'Will the real Stephanie please stand up'?"

"I would, but I'm kinda trying to stay low here," she adds as one knife flies past her and another lands in her arm before falling to the carpet. Cursing, she ducks to grab the clean blade as she passes it. The bloody one she can't afford to go back for, though she hates leaving ammo for her doppelganger.
"Please tell me you're armed!"

It's not entirely true; he does have a knife that he always keeps hidden away on himself or under his pillow at night when he manages to sleep, and it's that knife he retrieves to brandish as he breaks into a sprint toward Steph's double. Past experiences and the robot's state of completion mean that Jason doesn't realize he's dealing not with an actual clone but a mechanical one, but he aims to tackle the attacker all the same.
no subject
StephBot flings a knife at her approaching opponent, leaving one in her hand to grapple with. She braces herself for the tackle, pointing the knife out to stab him as they collide.
