HALLOWEEN SCENARIO: DOPPELGANGERS!
When the first frost falls, the veil between our world and the Spirit World grows thin, and fairy changelings venture from the hidden realm-gates of Birchwild Grove into the human city of Briarbane.
During this last week of October, players may witness other players acting strangely around town. Closer inspection reveals these are not true players at all, but doppelgangers aping human form.
Jade squinted around the Settlement. She'd just seen woodblock standing at the top of a telephone pole like an anime protagonist. Not doing anything, just⌠standing there. Watching, she guessed.
She stopped below the pole and cupped her hands around her mouth to shout up at the kimono girl. "Hey! You okay up there? You got some kinda flying powers to get down, right?" She'd seen people double-jumping like Mario characters around town, so she figured that's how most people jumped up onto buildings or poles or whatever had happened.
woodblock turned towards her, face impassive. Then she scurried down the pole on all fours, like a lizard. "What theâŚ" Jade backed away, eyes widening. "Oh hell no, is this some kinda Corrupted thing?" She braced herself for woodblock to attack her, racking her brains for how to defend herself.
But the girl didn't. She simply stood up again and wandered away, moving clumsily, as if she didn't quite fit in her body.

Torino's favorite overgrown rose bushes had been picked bare. "No! Someone got all the black roses before me!" she cried, her smile turning upside-down into a frown. "Who took them all?"
A trail of dark petals led her to the city square, where a green-haired woman was handing out single, dark flowers to all who approached. Every gifted rose sparked joy and spread happiness throughout the city. Why hadn't Torino thought to do that! She had only been picking them for the love of the flower.
Torino ventured closer, passing many players and NPC who now clutched gifted roses. Everyone seemed overjoyed! Torino soon reached the middle of the huddle, and the green-haired woman greeted her with a light wave, a gleaming smile, and a single rose. Jade Jager's doppelganger even blew Torino a kiss that left a blush creeping up her neck.
"Thank you!" Torino said, and she left the square, black rose gripped tightly in her hands.

Alicia hummed softly, taking a stroll through Briarbane on foot by the Firewater Saloon. She was having a moment of reminiscing on her first days on UNOVR. Tikani had urged her to come here because a bunch of people came in and out of the place. So of course it was the best place to possibly meet someone. She was glad she did. Sheâd finally met her first human friend, Josh Devlin, as a result. And that had led to all sorts of adventures. This world⌠had been so good to her. Nothing could sou- âHey! Come back here!âOh what was going on? Alicia looked over, only to double take as she saw Torino scurrying away from a couple NPCs with a large drink in hand. As well as a tag marking said drink as stolen⌠what in blazes? Rolling her eyes, she shifted her class ranks around to activate Ironsmith. Then she pulled one of her giant throwing needles out and flicked it through the air. The thin metal implement spun in the air end over end until it drove itself into the ground just in front of her fellow pinkette. Who⌠oddly enough seemed to be without one of her Pokemon escorts? Alicia didnât think sheâd ever seen Torino without a Pokemon at her side. Either way, the apparent petty thief was startled by the sudden impediment, allowing Alicia to close the difference and grasp her softly by the arm. âHey, what the heck? I know some of the things I say miss the mark with you but everyone should know not to ste-âŚal?âShe was right up beside Torino, which gave her a much closer look than most might get regarding whatever was happening. This Torino was⌠weird. Eyes not quite the right color. Hair worn a little differently. And now that she thought about it the tag on her proper looked a little off too, didnât itâŚ? âThank you!â one of the staff of the Saloon exclaimed, catching up to the two. âIâll take it fr-âAlicia let âTorinoâ go and pushed her on her way, much to the staff memberâs exclamation. âHere, Iâll pay for it. Let her go, alright?âThe saloon staff member grumbled a bit, but with due funds allocated to reimburse the establishment, he didnât have any further reason to chase âTorinoâ for her drink. So he turned away and went back to his job. Alicia looked over to the would be petty thief. Who was eyeing her back while sipping on her pilfered beverage. The pinkette shook her head, offering a piece of advice. â⌠Be mindful next time, alright?ââTorinoâ tilted her head, and fast-walked off without answering. âââââââââââââââââââââââ NEXT PROMPT: E7PCJLs21-100{PROMPT KEY}1-10 My doppelganger is committing a minor crime 11-20 My doppelganger is performing a good deed 21-30 My doppelganger is doing something inhuman 31-40 My doppelganger is doing everything backwards 41-50 My doppelganger is singing a poor rendition of a song 51-60 My doppelganger is dressed in a strange costume 61-70 My doppelganger is stuffing their face with too much food 71-80 My doppelganger is advertising for a real-life company 81-90 My doppelganger is speaking with a different voice 91-100 My doppelganger is getting married Congrats! |

"Wh-What's going on?" Cola stepped into the city square at precisely the most awkward time possible. People were all scattered about, a sight that wasn't really strange in itself. But what was most confusing was that several people running around looked identical to one another. Carbon copies prancing around without a care in the world! "Is this an event?..." It made the poor boy stand awkwardly to himself while observing the current mayhem going on with the event square. His eyes searched over for some kind of explanation for what was going on, only to settle onto another chaotic party goer that was nearby.
There was a wide table for the festivities that looked to be for a feats of some kind. A grand myriad of food dishes were put out for guests to enjoy, had it not been for the sole occupant in the middle table currently stuffing her face. The woman in the shape of Alicia Westfield had barely any time to swallow as she moved on from the pumpkin pie and went to shovel mouthfuls of sugar cookies into her awaiting maw. The display of gluttony shocked and spooked Cola to levels he didn't think possible. How big was this woman's stomach if she was going for a continuous 4 minutes straight?
"How is that even possible?..." Cola asked himself, mumbling in a nervous mess while slowly walking up to the table to try and steal a free pastry from the table. "Excuse me. I'll just take one of these." His mere presence had caused the doppelganger to turn over in his direction with an audible growl.
The eye contact had intimidated Cola, to the point of back away with a terrified whine. "Sorry! I didn't mean to interrupt..." he stammered out, stepping away far enough for the woman to continue her massive meal while she moved onto the next course.

"Thanks for the flowers, Jade," said the fourth person in a row, giving her a friendly shoulder-bump that suggested they knew each other better than they did. They even gave her a knowing wink.
"For the last time, I didn't-" Jade started to object, but was distracted by a terrible sound.
CronchcronchCRACKLErackleSNORRFFFF.
"What the hell?" Jade turned to look and saw Cola crouched next to the pitch-black fountain, a trick-or-treating bag in his hands. Was it that time of year already? Anyway, that wasn't important: the brown-haired player was eating all the candy. Like, ALL OF the candy, wrappers and all. His cheeks bulged like a squirrel's as bits of crinkly plastic and soggy candy corn fell onto the cobblestones.
"Jesus Christ, man, calm down!" Maybe he was diabetic? What was going on in town today, was it Freaky Friday in Dr.Seussville and nobody had sent her a message?

Arthur would come up to a weird sight: in a table row that was filled with both empty plates and trays upon trays of food were two players that were scarfing it down like there was no tomorrow. The first thought the trainer had was that this was likely to be an eating contest, and since the digital avatars had a possibility of not feeling fullness the same way that a real body could, they could easily work down food as much as they wanted. The second thought was that he actually recognized these two players for some weird reason? Like, wait a minute, wasn't that the newbie (Cola ) that he bumped into for a catching tutorial recently? And he never took Alicia Westfield to be a chomper! He supposed he didn't know her all that well, he realized, and that he only really knew players here by what they did in game, not their interests per se.
Arthur wondered if he should join them. The food looked appetizing, but the tables also looked full with the three of them there. He folded his arms, a part of the curious onlookers that were cheering on for their favorite Snorlax. There were notably more people around Brisbane than usual, but he figured that it was because of the upcoming holiday. Did UNOVR celebrate Halloween? He thought that it would be cool to have some kind of in-game bonus for it or something.
He shrugged. Oh well, he wasn't that interested in watching the contest all the way through, but he hoped that Alicia would win. He would turn around and walk away from the stage, not taking more than a couple of steps before bumping into a pretty gal dressed up in a...[tangent= ]moth monster costume?[/tangent] Well, it looked pretty, and she was wearing it very confidently. She also handed a red rose to him and gave him a wink, which was like, that was nice, but he was also confused. Thanks?

It seemed like any other normal day for Morpheus. Log in, do Quests and Dungeons to upgrade his skills, and find out more about the Dream Kingdom. But as he walked around Briarbane, he noticed something out of the ordinary. To his surprise, it was Kyukon, one of the players that participated (and unfortunately, whited out) in the Hearteater raid. He would pass him by like any normal player, but for some reason, he was carrying a sign while shouting out the most outrageous thing he could ever hear in a Pokemon game.
"Hello, good sir! Have you heard of the dunkin-licious donuts at Dunkin' Donuts?"
Morpheus froze in disbelief at what he said with the biggest grin on his face. Dunkin' Donuts? He sometimes ate donuts, but not too much and he barely ate at that shop. Still, it was weird for him to advertise another company in a VRMMO that wasn't sponsored or collaborated in any way. Should there be a rule against this thing? And why a donut shop of all things?! He could go there, but the way he advertised it just drove him away even more. It was too much for him and he had better things to do than watch this insanity unfold. Without a word, he took out his Solrock and let it create a portal just as Kyukon(?) tried to chase him.
"Hold on! You have to try their dunkin' coffee, too!"
But he didn't want to hear any of it. He just wanted to get away and be off to his normal gaming day, unaware of the chaos about to unfold in the form of his face.

The city was noisy today. Respiro turned up the collar of his Midnight Duster, cloaking his beaky face in shadow. He pattered un-mysteriously down the street, subconsciously trying to avoid the commotion in the middle of town. "I've lived a life that's full
I travelled each.... and every highway..."Someone was singing. Respiro covered his ears. The tune was vaguely familiar, and he recognized it as a famous English song. "And more... much more than this
I did it MYYYY WAYYYY..."Respiro could not know what an infamous song he was hearing, he could only perceive that it was very obtrusive! He stopped to fiddle with his settings, trying to turn up ambient background music as loud as possible to drown out the singing man. "Regrets, I've had a few
But then again.... too few to mention..."It wasn't enough. Something must be overriding it: proximity? That meant the singing man was close. Respiro resolved to hunt him down and end his singing. One thing was for sure: he needed a bird's-eye view. The singing voice was echoing too much, its source obfuscated. "I planned.... each charted course
Each careful step.... along the byway..."Respiro began to climb the Bell Tower in the center of town. He'd done it before, before unlocking Aviator, and it was much easier this time. He took a running start, made it three or four running-lengths vertically, then skipped backwards to double-jump off the air. He ping-ponged back and forth like Super Meat Boy, maddened by the fact the singing seemed to be getting louder."And more, much more than this
I did it MYYYYY WAYYYY!"There! Respiro saw himâ not on the ground, but at the top of the bell tower! The man's face was hidden inside the bell, which he was singing directly into to gain the highest acoustics. "!!" he said. His ears were ringing: how was Morpheus so loud?The little fighter shot in through the window of the bell tower, one leg extended in a powerful kick. He struck not Morpheus, but the side of the bell, which resonated with a deep BONGGG that briefly stunned its occupant. Landing already running, Respiro pounced on the apparent Morpheus and wrestled the doppelganger to the ground, stuffing his mouth full of ancient Unovan currency before vaulting back out the far window of the tower and somersaulting back down into a haystack. Thankfully, the singing did not resume.

Today, apparently, was a day of firsts.
Surprisingly, his free company in Eorzea had decided to take the Halloween weekend off, simply because there was too much candy to be had. So EvertâAltair, ratherâfound himself logged onto the game, just wandering around Briarbane to kill some time.
(Heâd know when some of the other night owls of the company would come on, and they would shit around the roulettes for a few rounds or so; nothing too serious or time-wasting. Major holidays were always âoff daysâ for everyone in the company, himself included.)
He thought he heard a discordant racket coming from somewhere atop a bell tower, but that had already endedâonly this time, his wandering field of vision caught sight of someone (Respiro) who had come from a rather⌠huh? Did the player look like they had just landed in some kind of a haystack or something?
(They looked a little ridiculous, walking around with tufts of itchy hay sticking to them here and there.)
âHâhey!â he would call out, trying to catch up to the rather fun-sized player who still looked like they had hay in their hair⌠only for them to seemingly âbumpâ into another player (or was it an NPC? It was hard to tell sometimes) who had just crossed their path and sent the bags in their hands flying!
He was expecting the hay-haired character to help the one whoâd just lost half the contents of their bag in a collision course, but⌠they just went right on going!
And from the looks of things⌠they had palmed a piece of fruit from what had spilled out of the bag while they were at it?!
Whoa, okayâŚ
