Aldebrandi's Gathering: More than a Mirror

OOC: I bloody posted here last night! why on earth is it not here?!

Lloyd frowned at Claude. As far as he'd been aware only Ignatius and Drake knew of his lycanthropy. He moved towards the door, saying as he did, "Heading back to the inn, don't die on your way back." He pushed the door open, stepping outside, ready to draw his hammer if the other doppelganger attacked him.

OOC:sorry ive been gone. Im trying....im a bit confused did the claude doppel get killed?? If so:

Ignatius's eye flicked downward to the body of 'fake claude' before quickly looking away, he picked up two flint stones off of the table and lit up an oiled rag torch on the wall illuminating the array of mirrors that surrounded the group, the reflections of the group were numerous making it nigh impossible to determine what was real and what wasnt....somehow the Doppelganger of ignatius had managed to trick Dake and Lloyd, the gathering in the apothecary were in grave danger!

EXTRAOOC: This iggy is the doppel if you didnt get it, sorry for bad grammar. the reall iggy is somewhere outide...
OOC: im a bit out of the loop but i really want this site to keep going! I need everyone to come up with ideas to get our members back! Also we need a way to get new members...(how many times have i said that?!?)

ADMIN EDIT: DOES THIS POST MAKE SENSE TO ANYONE ELSE? SORRY ELLIE BUT I THINK THERE HAS BEEN SOME CONFUSION...

Claude looked at the corpse on the ground, and cocked his head to the side. \"It is certainly an odd sight to see ones self seep into rigor-mortis. Actually it bears the resemblances of being at thou own funeral.\"
He approached the body, a peculiar expression on his face. Dipping his hand into one of the many pockets in his jacket, he pulled out a bottle of suspicious looking liquid.
Tipping some of the liquid onto his hand, he splashed the liquid upon the burning body at five different points, murmuring quietly. “As t’was in the beginning, is it now and ever shall be, in the end. This is an act of healing, a release from suffering, an end to pain. For no speck is left of their habitual stains, but the pure ether of the soul remains.”
Turning around he saw his companions supporting a questioning look. “I may be heartless; nevertheless I have lingering respect for the dead. He was inhuman,’ Claude gazed around. “Like some of us, except his only different to us, was that he embraced inhumane ways. However, t’is not I who shall damn him for that.”
Sighing deeply, he placed the bottle back in his jacket, walked over were Ignatius stood and took the oiled rag torch from his hand. \"I want to burn the body now, I do not like staring at myself...dead, I find it unnerving.\" he said curtly, and bent down with =out waiting for confirmation.
Lighting the body on fire, he made a gesture with his hand and a wind current formed around the body, keeping the flames contained so it burnt nothing but flesh.
Beside him, he felt Ignatius flinch, as he stared at the burning body as if it was a lost brother.

(OOC. Is that better, I just realised we weren\'t in a bar, is that clear????

Now I'm confused, I thought the doppler Claude was dead and his brother was posing as Ignatius. The real claude I decided to make slightly religious, so he says a death farewell before lighting the body on fire.
Did I do something wrong, or just not make it clear enough?????

Oh wait, we're not in a bar.....

M'kay, Sylver and I had a discussion about this. One of the things we're confused about is why you didn't pick up on the hint that the Ignatius in the apothecary with them is the fake. Another one is we're curious as to why Claude cared that the doppelganger had died, when it was made clear in the Contract that he signed that the Whole job was killing dangerous creatures.

Ok, well I've edited it now.
Claude knows that, but seeing himself dead, has shaken him a bit. I decided that he's seen too many deaths of many different creatures and it's lead him to have respect for most, but only in death.
Yeah, I knew the Iggy in the room was a doppler, but I thought he'd be a bit funny/pissed considering it's his brother's body that's being burned.
Is it clear now???

why is it being burned??

Oh, because I thought that was your intention when Iggy picked up the oiled rag torch, and I'd already written the piece when I found out that he wasn't the real iggy.
So I assumed that that would be the conclusion Claude would jump too, I mean, that's what went through my head, cause I assumed that there would have already been light in the apothecary, ....or maybe I'm just a space cake, look I can delete it if it's wrong?
