The undying run thick in this area, and you have to hide often, playing a game of of hide-and-seek as you try to avoid being detected by one.
MOB SUMMON
[ MOB NAME] YOUR SHADOW MOB HP: 15 HP Mob Autodamage: It only attacks back when you attack it, doing the SAME damage to you as you did to this mob. For instance, if you roll and do 5 damage, it will do 5 damage to you. This applies to everyone attacking it. Mob Special Ability: This looks exactly like you do. Who it takes the form of is the person who "summoned" ie: rolled it. It is able to talk and mimic the identical actions of you, the only difference other than it being much, much more sinister and sadistic is that it is also semi-transparent, fading to grey, around the edges. Other than that there is no difference between you and this apparition. Mob Loot: Roll 1d4 to see what you get: 1: Junkyard five card: (http://halloween.thesporkedken.com/loot/card_5.png).

Matilda knew it would be a difficult trek back. She hoped to find some more survivors, but the only thing she seemed to find was more enemies as she crept through the broken doorway leading into the foyer. Duck and weaving around various desks and benches, Matilda nearly made it to her destination when a voice slipped through the darkness.
You don't really care... you just hate being alone...
Her breathing hitched as she turned to find her own self baring down on her once again. Anxiety built up in her, as if it were pressing against a thin wall that was near to collapse. she couldn't let it continue. It would only try to drag her down if she listened and broke down like it wanted.
"You don't scare me," Matilda growled as she slashed at it, uncaring of the cut it gave her.

Anyone want to play shadow tag with their weapons?
The tension of the waiting room just seemed to keep building... As Ellie's headache receeded more and more, she started becoming more aware of time... Mike had been gone quite a while hadn't he... Finally, she was to fidgety and worried to sit around any longer... She really didn't want to go deeper into the Hospital, but she needed to make sure Mike was ok! He had saved her from that Madness inducing fog.
She gets up quietly from the chair before drawing her knife. Slowly, she creeps along the waiting room until she reached the foyer; there the tension in the room seemed to reach a fever pitch! Bloody gouges on the floor caused the shy, brown haired girl to grimace as the hair on the back of her neck stood on end... Suddenly, there was a shout! Having been really tense, Ellie nearly went through the ceiling as the sounds of battle erupt near her! "Eep!" she squeaks softly as her head whips towards the sounds of fighting!
Was it Mike? Whether it was him or not, chances were someone needed help! Quickly, Ellie runs in the direction of the sound; the short heel on her boots click, clicked, against the tile as she went! This worried her that she might attract more unwanted attention, but she didn't have time to stop and creep!
Finally, she reaches the battle and comes upon a straight scene... A girl was fighting... Herself...? No... It wasn't her! It was some sort of ghost copy! Wait! It wasn't just any ghost copy, it was a shadowy doppleganger! "L-leave her a-alone!" she shouts with as much power as she could muster! -- which wasn't very intimidating admitedly... -- Lunging forwards, she makes to slash at the doppleganger with her knife! Unfortunately, Ellie had never experienced actual combat before... The creature easily dodges her strike before returning the gesture!
She just barely managed to jump out of the way as the mimic's knife came very close to her!
[ SEREVA ]♤Mall District Survivor -----------------------------
Sereva had been sneaking around the Foyer, attempting to leave as her muscles tensed up. But just as she had thought to reach another hallway she heard something. All hands standing up on her skin as her head swiveled around. Her mask had been lifted to rest atop of her head, showing her normal deminor with a sense of anxiousness.
She witnessed one of those shadows apparitions appearing, another woman having seeming to summoned it. The appearance was unsettling, almost a reflection. But as she saw it attacking Matilda her defensive instincts immediately kicked in. Taking out her Knife Sereva joined in. Her breathing harsh in that moment "Its best not to go alone at one of these things, regardless if you're afraid or not" she muttered towards the blond. Dashing out her knife at the apparition, only to feel a sharp stinging against her own body as if she had just stabbed herself. It was light, but still hurt like a b***h.

As the warning about the creature goes up, Ellie nods and falls into the kind of battle pose she'd read in books. She figured Dopplegangers could rebound the damage, but it was good to have a heads up anyway. "T-thanks!" she calls before waiting for a oppotunity.
The arrival of another girl distracted the creature enough to open a perfect window! Lunging forwards, she buries her knife in the doppleganger's back! "A-ack!" she yelps slightly as seconds later, she hears the telltale rip of fabric and the resulting jolt of pain as a gash opens up between her shoulder blades! It wasn't super deep, but it was in a unpleasant position and it did hurt quite a bit!
She also felt her head throb from the sudden pain! Maybe she really should have waited for the migraine to go away... Staggering sideways slightly with a hand to her head, she moves out of the way as quickly as she could to avoid rebound from the Doppleganger and to simply get out of the way!
[ SEREVA ]♤Mall District Survivor -----------------------------
It was certainly Sereva's first time fighting one of these, but she quickly learned not only from the words that were being spoken.. but also first hand the consequence of her actions. Her muscles constantly tensed as she couldn't help but to feel a little unnerved. The quicker they got this over with the better. And so the purple haired woman slashed her knife forward again, gritting her teeth as she immediately felt the pain. But her attack had made contact at least, and it would seem to wither the apparition away.
"Glad thats over..." she said standing straight back up and making sure she was paying attention to her surroundings again.

"That... would make two of us," Matilda sighed as she tottered over to the spot the fake had disappeared from. There laid a single card and two other items. Putting the card in her bag, the blonde turned to the pair of girls. "Thank you for your assistance. I've already fought some of those things before... part of why I told it I wasn't afraid of it," she added in remembrance of Sereva's comment before continuing, "but it's never a pleasant experience."
Finding a wall to slide down against, Matilda tucked her legs. "The only upside I've found besides finding items on occasion is the bits of clarity that come with each encounter. Someone else said that those things were probably nightmares manifested from our own guilt and fears, so this may be a literal instance of 'facing our demons.' With each success, we ease our conscience." Matilda laid her head back with a sad smile, "I guess that means I have quite a bit to account for."

Sereva kept her mask propped up against her head, showing her entire face as she looked over to the other two that were with her. With the apparition gone she almost felt a little more at ease. Like the voices in her head were getting quieter. She looked more towards Matilda as she began to speak. A sign leaving from her lips as Sereva walked closer to the girl "Everything seems to be going to hell, but even so.. even if things seems bleak we just have to be thankful that we're alive. No matter what we may have heard, or if we really are infected or not... no matter how much we have to atone for" she would say. Trying to bring some ease to them even if her words might have still stung.
"Its necessary to fight those things off anyway.. atleast it keeps our minds busy" she made the last comment. Something clicking in Sereva's mind, itching at her as her eyes began to get shifty. Without focusing on the battle her other selves began to want to come out again. Her fingers fidgeted against her mask, pressing closely against the surface as if she was unknowingly trying to move it.

As Ellie watches the Doppleganger disappear she couldn't help but sigh in relief... She also couldn't help noticing something... Being around people... It quieted the voices in her head... They kept getting breathy and distant again... She also felt... More confident. The Paranoia didn't grip her as strongly as it had before! Though, the tension of the Foyer didn't ease up... When the creature dispersed into nothing, Ellie also felt more paranoia ease off her. Her skin started to stop itched so badly as well! Did defeating these 'things' really bring clarity?
The two woman's words seemed to confirm it and Ellie couldn't help but nod. "Y-yeah..." she agrees, glad the thing was gone. She needed to sit down... But not before checking out that curious Card on the floor... Silently, she walks over and picks it up; It certainly was a curious card. Navy blue with a ornate silver five on it... The blond girl had gotten one too so maybe they were important. And if not, they made a great treasure anyway!
With her card tucked away, Ellie walks over and sits down slowly against the wall, careful not to lean against her wound... "I-I think i-it was a doppleganger... A S-shadow clone." she says shyly in a soft tone.

Matilda nodded in agreement with Ellie's assessment. "The resemblance to their target is part of the reason I believe those things are our nightmares manifested in our world. They seem to know things only we know, and move like we do. They may very well be a representation of the things we wish to hide about ourselves."
Matilda shifted uncomfortably as she gazed around at the sound of crackling, like footsteps, somewhere not quite close enough to put her on full alert.
"That's true. Even if it is hard, it's proof that we are living." Matilda chuckled at the purple haired woman, "I'm not sure if I would consider demon hunting a hobby, even if it does keep me from dwelling. By the way...," the woman tilted her head in curiosity, "I don't think I caught your names."
Why would you care? All you care about is being needed.
Matilda tensed at the familiar whisper and the sensation that accompanied it. Staggering to her feet, she lifted her knife to chest height and called out with a shuddering breath, "It looks like we have company again. Be careful."

Charging towards the sound of the voice's original, Matilda dug her knife into the side of the doppelganger. She hissed as the skin on her own side tore in unison.
"That... that wasn't the best spot to choose," she gasped, clutching the wounded area with one hand.
[ SEREVA ]♤Mall District Survivor -----------------------------
"Name's Sereva." she said as her voice almost seemed to waver. Her mind was being difficult for her again but she wasn't about to let it bubble up now. "What doesn't kill us makes us stronger" she'd shrug. Only for her consciousness to be caught up by another apparition that appeared. Gripping tighter onto her knife she immediately went on the offence. As if she was excited. For another to have appeared. Her smile was becoming different.. as her knife twisted forward she hit a critical spot. Feeling the same pain radiate through her body. Instead of wincing she actually let out a chuckle. 'Good.. good... kill.. kill' her mind whispered to her. Her free hand moved up to her Kitsune mask, sliding it down over half of her face. Leaving only her mouth showing. "I actually find this quite fun!" Sereva's voice was completely different. As if she was a completely different person.
