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.

She should probably be somewhat conflicted about this, but honestly, she doesn't. It should bother her that she doesn't, and when this is over, she'll probably beat herself up about feeling this way, but for now, she's not thinking about it. She would have given pretty much anything for a bow when facing off against her double, and it would still come in a lot more handy for her than any other weapon, but with the way her arm is feeling, she's pretty sure she couldn't use one anyway. A gun would be a lot easier.
The fact that this has even crossed her mind is not something she's about to share, though.

"Mostly?" he asks, frowning slightly. Is it a little hypocritical that he's this concerned about her injuries while not acknowledging his own? Maybe. Does he care? No.

The wince is not unnoticed.
"I know. Anything you need to have looked at by another set of eyes? Maybe eyes taht can see your whole arm, rather than a top-down look?"

She trails off, because it's hard to tell, especially since she couldn't exactly rig a sling to keep her arm immobile until now.

"Can you move it?"
no subject
"I don't think anything's broken. Thankfully. Are you sure you're okay?"
no subject
The shoulder is stiff and obviously painful to move, but Cissie's right that it doesn't seem to be broken. He looks up at her. "I think you're right about it not bring broken. Probably the best thing you can do is rest and ice."
