we’re ready to make you one of us.

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.

BLACKOUT

Wanda was a light sleeper. It was a produce of her past and line of work but it suited her. It was the thunder that woke her. She shot up to a seated position, wake and tense to lash out at anything that might be attacking. Of course, nothing was attacking. Wanda slid from her covers and walked over to the window to look out at the rain beating against the glass.

"Rain?" That was odd...

She remained in her sweat pants and tank top as she walked through her room. She tried to call but the phones were dead. Everything was dead. "What?" An unsettling feeling crept down Wanda's spine as she eyed the stormy weather. It was unsettling...

"I'm going out." She called to her brother before heading for the door to her room on the fifth floor to the streets outside.


DOPPELGANER
[ooc: content warning with some robot body horror.]

The rain plastered her hair to her face as she looked out over the city. There were others standing just outside of the dorms and some even moving away to investigate further. It was just a black out but something was wrong. Wanda couldn't place it. It might have just been paranoia but she couldn't shake the unpleasant feeling.

She headed a short way down the street, her misty green eyes focused in front of her as she tried to make out the shadows and shapes in the rain.

"Hello?" She called when she saw a flicker of a shadow cross her view. It was odd. She didn't feel the thoughts of another person but she saw something... "Hello?" She called again and turned just as the shadow stepped out of the rain and wrapped its metallic fingers around her neck.

Wanda gasped and in a sudden burst of power, a red light shoot the figure away. It looked like her but with a mechanical arm that reminded Wanda of Ultron's toys and an eye. One single human eye set in a skull partially covered by skin. It twisted in an inhuman way and came after her again.

She thought she was going to be sick...


WILDCARD

[ooc: COME AT ME! I am up for anything so toss it my way! Let me know how much awesome power that is Wanda that you want. She is here to help and also to calm the chaos if she can.]
