Y/N As A Doorman

From That's Not My Neighbor game

Part 3 (Part 1, Part 2, Part 4, Part 5, Part 6, Part 7, Part 8, Part 9, Part 10)

I got to my house, ate a delicious meal. After that, I took a shower and started to think about today. I then smiled, “Maybe this won't be so bad,” I thought as I finished taking the shower and went back to the kitchen to make myself lunch for tomorrow.

After I was done, I went to sleep, preparing for the next day.

~●~1 Month Later~●~

I got up from my very comfortable bed, got ready, and then went to work. A few things had happened in these past 4 weeks. First, that damn Hoon Francis; he came every week, sometimes staying for very long. One time the real Francis came and saw the doppelganger, but the surprising thing is that Francis didn't care! He even allowed the doppelganger to continue dressing as him.

Another thing was that even some random doppelgangers started to come. They just looked, and if I was lucky, they would talk to me, but then they would walk away. The third thing is that some doppelgangers are getting cocky and aggressive. One almost attacked Mr. Cappuccin, thankfully nothing happened. Perhaps it's because I don't call the D.D.D and let them leave; mmm maybe it is my fault. Besides that, everything is going great. I'm on good terms with everyone, except Elenois and Selenne since I like to annoy them. But I do feel like I'm friends with Mia, Francis, Nacha, and Margarette.

I got to the apartment and entered the office. Francis was also the very first one to leave. I don't know why a milkman needs to wake up so early, but oh well, not my problem. He said goodbye and went on. I grabbed the list of people expected for today. “Ok, only 7—mm, Izaack, Anastacha, Selenne, Francis, Elenois, Steven, and Angus. Ok, please make this an easy day,” I thought as I put down the list and got on my phone. In the mornings nothing usually happens.

At 8:35 am, the first person came in. Mrs. Cappuccin walked in front of the window and greeted me before passing me her papers. I started to look over them, and everything was correct. Then, I looked at the list and saw that Mrs. Cappuccin wasn't on it.

“Hey, I mean Mrs. Cappuccin, you're not on the list. May I ask the reason?” I said, and suddenly Mrs. Cappuccin's eyes changed to an angry red, and some sharp teeth appeared.

'Rafttellyn' - *angry* “Dammit! Why didn't I think about that damn list! … You caught me. It seems you're not easy to fool, unlike the other doormen.”

I looked at her surprised, but then I relaxed. “I can't let this one go,” I thought as I pressed the red button, and for the second time since I've been working here, I called the D.D.D. After they confirmed that they were coming, I put the phone back.

'Rafttellyn' - *chuckles, talking through the metal shield* “So you consider me dangerous, ha ha ha. I've heard about you, all of us have. About the little dumb human who lets us get away and doesn't call the D.D.D unless we are truly dangerous. Ha ha ha. Be careful, little human. Make sure to always look behind you because if you don't, we will catch you,” *walks away*

I stayed frozen. “What?” I thought as I got off the chair and went below the desk. I needed a place where I felt safe, yet there was nothing in this darn office. Then I heard knocking on the window. I got out and looked; it was the D.D.D agent.

D.D.D Agent - *with a voice changer* “Are you ok?”

I nodded and got back in the chair. “Yeah, I'm fine, just a little shaken up,” I said, putting on a professional smile.

D.D.D Agent - *nods* “Good work, agent. Unfortunately, we arrived late, and the doppelganger got away. But don't worry, we will patrol around the perimeter until it is deemed safe. You can continue working,” *walks away*

I breathed in and out, then relaxed and continued being on my phone. At 10, Mr. Gauss arrived and politely told me to be quick since he needed to attend a meeting early. Since he's not Selenne, I did my work quickly, and he immediately went up to his floor. A few minutes after I saw him running towards the front doors, I thought to myself, "Hmm, I wonder what he'll talk about in the news this time. Last time it was about the 'karen doppelganger' that once they were caught they threw a massive tantrum. It was honestly funny." As I got up and headed towards the kitchen for a snack.

I came back and sat down with my snack. As I was munching on it, a doppelganger walked in. It was pretty obvious they weren't human; they were expressionless, literally. They didn't have a face - no mouth, no eyes, not even a nose.

*Sighs* "Umm, papers please," I said and waited. They only gave me their entry request. "Umm, I'll also need your ID," I said, and I saw them shake their head. *Sighs* "Ok, well congrats! You are the first doppelganger of today that has gotten close to impersonating a resident of this building. Unfortunately, since I discovered you, let's do this. You can either leave, or I'll call the D.D.D.," I said as I smiled at it. They nodded and walked away, leaving the entry request, which I threw in the trash. "I seriously need a weapon, I don't want the same senerio to happen twice. Mmmm maybe a gun or something or maybe I should take some self-defense lessons, hmm," I thought as I looked at Mr. Ciprianni arrive.

Hours passed, and mostly everyone was inside their apartments, except for my good old friend Francis, who usually comes back at 10 or sometimes a little later. While I was on my phone, my other friend came - Francis's doppelganger, or how I like to called him, Hoon. He gave me his papers and waited. Every day he does the same, and every time I catch him, yet he always keeps on trying, ... or maybe it's something else that he wants.

"Buddy, your entry permit is wrong, but hey, that's the only thing," I said and threw the entry request in the trash. I gave him his ID back, yet he didn't looked happy, as he usually would. "To be honest, his ID and appearance are wrong, but I seriously don't want him to get mad at me like the first doppelganger, but it's weird why isn't he happy?" I thought as I noticed that he was not leaving. Usually, after I discover him, he leaves, well sometimes. The times he doesn't leave right away he makes "conversation" yet this time, he not only stayed but also didn't say anything.

*Confused* "Buddy, you know the deal after I caught you, yo-" *Interrupted* I didn't finish my sentence since what he said froze me in my place.

Hoon - "Beee, .. c-careeee, ful, … hoon."

After saying that, he left. "What?" I thought as I looked at him leaving.

Now we have seen bucks pov of Eddie i NEEEEEEEEED Eddie's pov of Buck.

No because listen!!!

In Buck's pov Eddie was all happy and stuff. Talking on the phone, laughing and hanging out with everyone. He was likable, social, funny, loved and made friends easier than Buck.

Basically Buck thinks Eddie is perfect and his life is perfect.

But in reality it wasn't right? I mean that man started dying with catholic guilt to the point he couldn't get it up, cheating on his girlfriend, seeing his dead wife doublegänger, still traumatized by his late wife's death and losing his child. So yeah... Not perfect

So buck saw the good stuff with Eddie

When it's Eddie's pov of buck's life, we get the OPPOSITE.

Buck's life seems perfect and he seems really happy. I mean his father figure survived, his parents are getting better, his sister is finally happy, he discovered a new side of himself and he is in a stable relationship with someone.

Everyone is seeing the happy stuff except miss gurl Eddie.

He is seeing how Buck's smile doesn't quite reach the eyes as it used to, how he is less talkative, how even though his parents are trying he doesn't trust them, how sometimes when he is looking at Maddie he is looking with guilt and sadness before snapping himself out of it and how Chris leaving really effected him.

YOU SEE WHAT I'M COOKING??

Lemme get philosophical 😌

In Eddie's serious and imperfect nature, Buck finds a kind of perfection, a completeness that he deeply cherishes.

Despite Buck's carefree and seemingly flawless life, Eddie sees the flaws and yet loves him unconditionally.

Their perspectives differ, but their love remains unwavering, grounded in the acceptance of each other's true selves.

Bojan meeting his danish doublegänger :3

I might need to give some context for this one x'D (look under the line if you are curious)

On April 22 I was at a concert in Copenhagen (it too was my birthday but that's not important for this part of the story x'D). The very first band on stage was called Cold Culture and my heart skipped a beat when I realised that the front man looked familiar; he sort of looked like Bojan!! (if Bojan was a slight bit taller, blue eyed and danish that is). The rest of the show I couldn't unsee this resemblance and so - as brainrotted as I am - I immediately felt a kinship to Mads (the name of the frontman). I even met him and his bandmembers afterwards and he was so kind and silly and very much Bojan coded in personality as well :'D xD

8 days later and my mind still hasn't let go of this thought so here's Bojan meeting Mads x'D.

The band itself btw was really good - probably the one making the best impression on me that evening. I have had their EP on repeat together with Kot Kot for a week now x'D. If you like bands such as Blind Channel and Bring Me the Horizon I can recommend Cold Culture ^V^

Comparison pictures of Mads (taken by me 04.22.24 in Copenhagen) and Bojan (taken by me 03.15.24 in Malmö)

Me with the band + Mads and Andy (drummer) hanging out around the venue after midnight.

IF YOU WANT TO GET AHEAD, GET A HAT And if you want to get a hat for Groundhog Day 2022 then you should have contacted John Shelvin who has been making hats in Dublin for decades. Still time for Bloomsday but John is usually very busy that day as he resembles James Joyce when he puts on his hat. Hope everyone has a great day, hats off to those who look the part reading Joyce today. #jamesjoyce #jamesjoyceyear #joycecentenary #groundhogdaychallenge #ulyssescentenary #doubleganger #doublegänger #ulysses100 #doublegängers #doublegangers #hatsoff #hatsofftoyou https://www.instagram.com/p/CZderqkoh5H/?utm_medium=tumblr

Shenanigans in the Grand Order, part 259

Let's see how many interludes I can get through before the next event starts

Yan Qing's interlude

And already we have an existential crisis.

That's vaguely promising...

Okay...

Okay...

...

Ya know, I knew something was up before the last battle when the support list came up and saw that the support Cursed Arm's NP was '???'.

And by calming him down, we mean beat the crap out of him. 😅

Giant oof. :(

So let me get this straight. Yan's doublegänger was the remains of Shinjuku Yan Qing, and when he was summoned, the doublegänger rayshifted to Shinjuku because he wasn't sure who he was anymore.

This is a bit confusing, but it's still interesting.

Yup! :D

Request by 3 annons:

Annon 1: Imagine being Harry's doppelgänger and finding out Barry likes Harrison Wells from earth-2 romantically so you end up giving him advice

Annon 2: Imagine Barry having a really bad crush on Earth-2 Wells but Wells is not as smart in romantic approaches as he is in technology.

Annon 3: Harrison's female doublegänger tries to hint Harry from earth 2 that Barry probably likes him more than as a teacher!  (I love your choice of female Harrison!)

A/N: Thank you so much for your requests, I’m terrible sorry for my horrible english, that’s why I’m trying to make god gifs! lol, I really love Eva Green as Harry’s female doppelgänger, I just want you to know that this isn’t  part 4 of the miniseries,  let’s take this like a prequel.. or something like that! haha I love you guys <3 <3

Barry x Harry

-Oh Harry! LOOK AT YOU! – Says Harriet putting her hands on Harry’s cheeks – You are brilliant but you’re a fool! But don’t worry, you still tremendously handsome!  - Harry leaves the speedlab without saying a word, Harriet look at Barry who was watching them from the door – and what do you think? That he’s gonna realize by his own? – she asks

-what do you mean? –

-for God sake! I’m not an idiot Barry, maybe Harry is, but I’m not dear, and staying there, waiting for him to realize by his own it’s not a good idea.

Sighs as he sitting down on the floor and Harriet sits next to him – Am I too obvious?

-No – she confesses smiling at him – I’m very observant and well... one day Barry from my earth confesses that he had a crush on me before we met, so I assumed that some things never change – Barry looks at her -   Look Barry, Harry might be a genius and a jerk who says that doesn’t need anyone, but he’s a Wells, and this is how we are, we don’t like to ask for help and believe that we can do everything by ourself, but we’re always gonna need a friend that support us and make us explode the ideas that our crazy minds creates… sometimes we need someone who inspire us , you could be that friend… don’t screw up..

requests are open! (x)

Y/N As A Doublegänger

From "That's Not My Neighbor" game

Note - Finally done! I feel like this chapter was a little fast (and it is) but oh well hope you guys enjoyed this series, I have something pretty cool prepare for September.

Part 11 End (Par 1, Part 2, Part 3, Part 4, Part 5, Part 6, Part 7, Part 8, Part 9, Part 10)

After that day, everything changed for the better. The doorman was captured and imprisoned. Not only had he been charged with allowing a doppelgänger in, but he was also held accountable for provoking and endangering the residents.

Now, a D.D.D. agent was the new doorman. Since my friends had to come out of hiding to stop me, they were also captured. Fortunately, thanks to the residents' petitions, they weren't killed and were instead released. As for me, I was placed under observation in a hospital, along with Angus and Franciss, since both had gotten hurt.

Fortunately, Angus and I were in the same room, mostly because he wouldn’t stop being a menace until he was placed with me. Steven visited often, trying to keep us updated, and to my surprise, even some of the other residents came by. Franciss, once he was able to move, would also come and stay in our room. I discovered that he was the first person I had attacked.

As the days went by, I made friends with the neighbors I had never interacted with before. Rafttellyn and Alf were kind enough to bring me some “get well soon” flowers and even did a mini tie party, while the Peachman brothers entertained us with stories about their shoe business, always filled with amusing anecdotes about their mini fights and arguments. Steven's dad, Mclooy, visited us as well; he is a very talkative man, always sharing tales of his youth and amazing adventures.

Time passed quickly, and soon I was fully healed, just like Angus and Franciss. Once the doctor gave me the release date, a D.D.D. agent entered the room, prompting the doctor to make a quick exit, leaving only the agent behind.

Agent - “Good to see that both of you are completely healed. Now, I will explain what is going to happen, and none of you can object or argue, alright?”

I nodded, but Angus nor Franciss did.

Angus - *smiling* “I’d like to hear what you have to say before I make a decision.”

Agent - *whispering* “A true businessman. *speaking normally* Alright, regarding the doppelgänger, not only did you hurt two residents and five D.D.D. agents, but you also caused some damage to the building. Because of that, you will be put in a program and continue pretending to be Y/N.”

“W-what!?” I exclaimed in surprise. I had expected them to lock me up, but the idea of going back was shocking.

Franciss - “What’s the catch?”

Agent - “Well, a D.D.D. member will have to stay in the building to ensure it's truly safe. But besides that, there are no real consequences; after all, it wasn’t entirely the doppelgänger's fault.”

“B-but why? I thought the D.D.D. agency would kill me or capture me,” I said, fidgeting with my fingers.

Agent - “Well normally we would, but there were a lot of petitions requesting your release, and thanks to the news, the story spread all around the world. It's the topic everyone is talking about, which worked in your favor. Additionally, you lasted two months without hurting anyone, which strengthens your case. The D.D.D. actually wants to experiment with you to see how a doppelgänger works and all that scientific stuff.”

Angus - “Experiment?”

Agent - “Well, sort of. It’s more like they want to conduct a few tests. You see, two months ago, the doppelgängers became much more aggressive, so they want Y/N's help to repel them or keep them at bay.”

“Well, either way, I don’t have a choice, so I might as well enjoy this outcome,” I said, a small smile forming on my face.

Angus - *worried* “Are you sure? I don't think those D.D.D. agents will hold back in their experiments.”

“Don't worry; I'm stronger than I seem,” I replied, showing my claws.

Franciss - “That's true. I experienced it firsthand.”

“I'm sorry!” I exclaimed, quickly covering my claws and feeling awful for what I had done to Franciss.

Agent - “Well, my job here is done. It was nice to see all of you looking better.”

Soon, the day came when we were finally released. We arrived at the apartment, and it didn’t look any different. I took a deep breath and entered.

As I stepped into my apartment, it was just as I had left it, but someone was there, a doublegänger. I quickly unsheathed my claws and was about to attack whoever it was when I was grabbed, even before I could do any real damage.

Hoon - *smiling* “Yup, this is how it was supposed to have been last time.”

“Hoon!” I exclaimed, quickly hugging him. I looked behind him and saw that everyone else was there too. “How are all of you here? Wait, how did you guys even get here?” I asked, surprised to see them.

Sticky - “The agent told us that we now live here. Well, not in this room, but like you, we were put under the same rules. Some others are in different buildings.”

Peach - *hugging me* “Peach!”

“It's nice to see you too! But wait, how did they find you? And what do you mean by living here?” I asked, still hugging Peach.

Hoon - “It's a bit of a long story, but in short, we were being followed, and we got discovered. Thanks to the news spreading everywhere, a lot of doppelgängers also gave up, hoping for the same outcome you had. So now the D.D.D. agency is creating a program to ‘rehabilitate’ doppelgängers. Though the other half of the doublegängers continue to fight and be against this change”

I was about to say something when Stitch covered my mouth, probably not wanting me to overthink things or ask any more questions. I smiled and looked behind Hoon, noticing half-eaten frozen dinners. “Time to show what I learned,” I thought smugly.

*Moving Stitch’s hand away* “Guys, that's not how you eat those dinners!” I said with a smile

Sticky - “What do you mean? You just need to open them, right?”

I smiled and began explaining how they should have eaten them. “You guys have a lot to learn, but don't worry; I'll help,” I said with a grin. They nodded, finally, we were truly safe.

Y/N As A Doublegänger

From "That's Not My Neighbor" game

Warning ⚠️ - mentions of blood, drug, drugged, betrayal, abuse (?), syringe, attacking (?)

Note - So much for peaceful fluff chapters, anyway yeah, I don't feel like this chapter is that graphic or that bad but it may just be me, so anyone who is sensitive or doesn't like that type of stuff then ignore this chapter, or go to the very end to see what happen, I'll put a ♤ so that from there you can read it. Also, this chapter is the longest I've ever written.

Part 10 (Part 1, Part 2, Part 3, Part 4, Part 5, Part 6, Part 7, Part 8, Part 9, Part 11)

After that day, I was never at peace anywhere. I tried to pretend that everything was okay, but everyone could see that I wasn't. I didn't interact with anyone, choosing to stay inside my apartment. I avoided Angus and anyone who attempted to approach me. For a while, I refrained from going out to give my friends food, trying to keep to myself, knowing they would immediately discover what was going through my mind.

I became more and more distant as the days went by; I didn't feel like I could trust anybody. Slowly, I woke up and began getting ready. I quickly left my apartment, aware that Angus or Steven would certainly be there any moment.

As I arrived at the front office, I heard several footsteps, but I kept walking. Suddenly, I was stopped by a horrible sound that pierced my ears, making me drop to my knees and scream.

Just as it arrived, it left. I noticed that my claws were out, and I could feel my horns as well. I started to try to calm myself down, hoping no one has seen me.

??? - “See, there's the doppelgänger!”

I looked up to see none other than, the doorman, pointing at me while a swarm of D.D.D. agents surrounded me. I realized what was happening and tried to stand up and run away, but the agents were faster. They quickly held me down and placed cuffs on me, making my movements difficult, they added more bindings around me.

I looked around and noticed that some residents were in the front lobby, being stopped by agents who prevented them from coming close to me. I could see and hear Angus struggling to reach me, held back by the agents and Steven, who was trying to protect him from getting hurt by an agent.

The agents forced me to stand up and, using electric prods, made me walk toward the hallway leading to the building's exit. I glanced at the doorman, who was smiling.

“H-how could you do this to me?” I whispered, loud enough for him to hear. I lowered my head as I struggled against the bindings. When I looked up, I saw a crazed smile on his face.

Doorman - “Ha ha! Did you truly believe that I would ever be friends with a monster like you?”

Agent - *sighs, and whispers* “You are cruel.”

I lowered my head again, feeling pain from their words. Anger began to swell within me; I wanted to erase that smile from his face. “I'll make you pay,” I said, gritting my teeth in rage.

The doorman stepped a little closer to me.

Doorman - *smirking* “I'm waiting.”

Seeing that I didn't act, he returned to his previous position. Just as I was about to be taken away by the D.D.D. agents, the doorman stopped them.

Doorman - “Actually, wait! I have something I want to tell them.”

The agents nodded and made sure the bindings were tied securely so that I wouldn’t be able to harm them. I continued to look down at the floor; I didn’t want to see their disgusting faces.

Doorman - *angry* “This wouldn’t have happened if you had only killed the residents the first day I let you in.”

“W-what?” I said, surprised. Their words forced me to look up at them, and in their face, I saw nothing but disappointment, anger, and wickedness.

Doorman - “Remember when I told you that the reason I let you in was to see what would happen? Well, when you didn’t kill or attack anyone, I felt sad and disappointed.”

“W-what!?” I exclaimed, even more shocked. How could they want the residents dead?

Doorman: “The true reason I let you in was to see their blood splatter all throughout the building! Ha ha! To hear their screams! Ha, ha, HA HA HA!!”

I couldn’t believe what I was hearing. I knew some humans were evil, but I had never expected the one I considered my friend to be this wicked, this demented.

Doorman - *calming down, with a big smile on his face* “But you know, I still want to see that. You don’t know how much I’ve dreamed about it, how much I've wished for you to panic enough to cause a massacre. Yet, you’ve failed me each and every time. *sighs* It doesn't matter. With this—” *he shows a syringe filled with a mysterious substance* “—you will fulfill my greatest wish. You will finally do what you were meant to do.”

I tried to get away, but the bindings restricted my movement, and I couldn't escape. All I could see was their wicked smile and hear their insane laughter. Suddenly, I felt the needle pierce my skin. I screamed in agony, losing track of time; all I felt was pain, and I wanted it to stop.

As the bindings came undone, I quickly extended my claws and began attacking anyone near me. I felt my claws scratch someone, hearing a pained scream.

I couldn't see well; all I saw was red. I couldn’t control my body. I didn’t want to attack anyone, yet my body wouldn’t listen to me. I heard screams, but the only action my body took was to strike out. I felt several shots pierce my body, yet I didn’t stop—I only continued to hurt those humans, those agents. Suddenly, I heard a click and turned around to see a green glow above somewhere.

The door swung open, and my body moved on its own as I immediately entered. Inside, I saw numerous shadows, their faces obscured, and I couldn’t hear what they were saying. In that instant, I attacked the first shadow I encountered.

I heard screams and felt something warm soaking my hands and clothes. The more I attacked, the better I felt. Just as I was about to rip the head off a shadow, I was pushed down. I clawed at whoever was behind me, scratching their back.

Suddenly, my claw was stopped as someone grabbed onto it. I tried to get up and fight against my captor, but in my incoherent state, I couldn’t escape. I could only struggle while hearing someone yell at someone else; I couldn’t comprehend who they were screaming at or what they where saying.

I was about to bite the person holding my claws down when another shadow forced something into my mouth. I bit down hard, tasting the blood of whoever I had bitten, which only made me more aggressive. I didn’t care anymore; I just wanted the pain to go away.

Then, I felt a sharp pain in my neck—more intense than before. I started to scream, releasing all of my pent-up pain; I couldn’t hold it in any longer.

♤♤♤♤♤♤♤♤♤♤♤♤

Gradually, I began to feel tired. The pain started to fade, and I felt sore, but a sense of calm washed over me. I was finally able to stop.

I felt warm, gentle hands, and my vision began to clear. I could finally see.

I saw my friends with tears in their eyes, holding me down, they kept calling my name. I tried to look around, but my head wouldn’t move. I released whoever I had trapped in my mouth, realizing it was Angus. Peach and Stitch let me go too, now they gently holded my hand.

Angus - *crying* “Y/N!”

Hoon: “Y-you're back! *tears sliding down his face* Welcome back.”

Peach - *crying* "Peach!"

I could only smile as I looked around, noticing that half of the people were either crying or relieved. I felt exhausted, and I closed my eyes, finally resting.

Y/N As A Doublegänger

From "That's Not My Neighbor" game

Note - I have noticed that through the parts I have written "doublegänger" and "doppelgänger" and honestly I don't know why, so I'll just continue doing it, it doesn't really matter. Also this part, I felt like it was a bit emotional, or idk how to describe it but yeah.

Part 7 (Part 1, Part 2, Part 3, Part 4, Part 5, Part 6, Part 8, Part 9, Part 10, Part 11)

I looked around, confused as to why everyone was staring at me with expressions of surprise or confusion.

Nacha - *worry* “Umm, dear, how do you eat the dinners?”

“Oh! I just take them out of the fridge and start eating them!” I replied with a smile. Suddenly, Angus burst into laughter.

Angus - *laughing* “Ha ha ha! Oh, my friend, what a joke!”

Mia - “Oh, it was a joke! No wonder! It was kind of funny, especially with how happy you said it.”

I was about to correct them and explain that it wasn't a joke, but Steven grabbed everyone's attention.

Steven - “Roman, your cake will burn, let’s move on to the final step; it’s getting late,”

Nacha - “That’s right! Now the next step is—”

Nacha continued explaining and helping everyone until we were finally done. As I prepared my pasta, I overheard Angus and Steven whispering to each other. I was going to ignore it, but the moment I heard my name I payed attention.

Steven - *whispering* “We have to tell the doorman about today; that was a close call.”

Angus - *whispering* “Nah, it’s fine.”

Steven - *whispering* “It’s not! If they’re not careful, then, someone will find out, call the D.D.D. and nothing good will come out of that”

“THEY KNOW???!!!” I thought, anxiety creeping in.

Roman - *decorating the cake, looked at Y/N* “Hey, are you okay?”

“Y-yeah, I-I just need to go!” I said quickly and a bit too loud, and everyone looked at me, puzzled.

Angus - *worry* “Hey, bud, you okay—” *interrupted*

“Yeah! I just need to leave,” I said as I hurried to the door, leaving everything behind. “Sorry, everyone!” I called as I opened the door and stepped outside.

I quickly ran to my apartment and locked myself in. I started pacing around, my mind racing. Turning around, I caught my reflection in the window. My horns were out, and my eyes had turned dark.

“Oh no, no, no! Please tell me I just got like this,” I said, trying to calm myself down. I rushed to the bathroom and splashed some water on my face.

My eyes returned to normal, but my horns remained. I was about to do some exercises that Hoon had recommended when I was interrupted by a knock at the door.

I gulped, remaining silent and hoping that the person outside would leave. Unfortunately, they didn’t; they continued knocking.

I walked to the door but didn't open it. I knew my horns were still visible, which gave me even more reason to stay silent.

Doorman - *serious tone* “Y/N, I know you're in there. Open up.”

His voice send a shiver down my spine, making me tremble a little, my imagination racing with worst-case scenarios. “No, no… NO!!!” I thought as I moved closer to the window, ready to jump.

Doorman - *with a calmed tone now* “Y/N, please, Y/- no, I, *sighs* I may not know your name, but I came here to help you, not to turn you over to the D.D.D.”

Those words stopped me in my tracks. “Should I trust them?” I thought repeatedly. Yet, my body moved on its own, and I found myself walking to the door. Slowly, I opened it.

Behind the door stood the doorman, who greeted me with a reassuring smile. I let him pass, still anxious about what might happen next.

The doorman glanced around before taking a seat. I nervously sat across from him, studying his calm expression.

Doorman - *smiles* “Why are you so nervous?”

I remained silent, wanting to explain that I meant no harm, but who would believe a doppelgänger? I kept my gaze fixed on the floor.

The doorman stood up and approached me. I closed my eyes, bracing for the worst, but suddenly, he wrapped his arms around me.

Doorman - “You don’t have to worry about anything, I won’t turn you in to the D.D.D.”

“W-why?” I asked, confused, as tears threatened to spill from my eyes.

Doorman - “Well, because you are you. I like your personality, and you haven’t harmed any of the residents, you are nice a but weird but nothing bad, so why should a nice doppelgänger like you go to that awful place”

My tears began to flow, I let them fall freely. I cried, releasing all my pent-up feelings—anxieties and worries—while the doorman continued to comfort me.

After some time, I was finally able to relax. The doorman sat beside me, gently rubbing my back. “How did you know?” I asked, feeling confused.

Doorman - “I found out the first time I let you in. I just kind of knew. You, appeared different. Usually, Y/N had an aura of tiredness, but you had a calm one. The next day, when I came to work and didn’t receive any reports of a doppelgänger attacking or killing anyone, I knew I had made the right choice in letting you in.”

“If you knew, then why? Why did you let me in? Why didn’t you report me?” I pressed, even more bewildered.

“I know it sounds wrong, at least morally wrong, but I, *sighs* I was just so tired, always repeating the same routine, always having to smile, always listening to the pleas of the creatures. I wanted something new. In that moment, I didn’t care; I just wanted to be free, to do something other than protect the building, to see what would happen. And you gave me that experience. Thanks to you, I was able to realize a lot of things.”

I was taken aback by the weight he had been carrying, I could never imagine having a lot of lives in my hands and how much that meant. More tears welled up in my eyes, and I hugged him tightly.

Doorman - “You’re such a crybaby, *hugging* Oh, and I also knew because little horns were sticking out of your head.”

“What?!” I exclaimed through my tears.

Doorman - “Yes! Every time you get emotional, like right now, those little horns appear, *chuckles* I can tell you don’t know how to control them, or maybe you just suck at being a doppelgänger.”

“Hey!” I protested, feeling offended, while he laughed wholeheartedly. His laughter made me smile.

Y/N As A Doublegänger

From "That's Not My Neighbor" game

Note - I think, I'm going to update between Fridays to Sundays, those are my only free days 🥲 Also I change the plot a bit, since I got this idea from watching a YouTube video.

Part 6 (Part 1, Part 2, Part 3, Part 4, Part 5, Part 7, Part 8, Part 9, Part 10, Part 11)

After I got back to my apartment, I enjoyed a delicious dinner with a peaceful mind.

The next day, I planned to do nothing other than enjoy my day off. I started with breakfast and watched a good TV show. After that, I intended to just sleep and recharge my energy, but I was interrupted by someone approaching my room. I quickly stood up and opened the door.

It was a neighbor I had not seen before. “Oh hello, how may I help you?” I said with a smile. The neighbor looked a little taken aback. “Crap! I forgot I'm supposed to be acting like Y/N!” I thought, panicking. Yet my panic subsided when they smiled back.

Lady - “Hello, I'm Mia. I was wondering if you would join our cooking class this time”

“Cooking class?” I asked, a bit confused; after all, I didn’t understand why they needed to cook.

Mia - “Yes! Thank you for listening this time. I guess the rumors about you changing are true”

“Huh? What rumors?” I asked, feeling a little nervous.

Mia - “Oh, nothing! Don't stress about it. Anyway, today at 4, we will have a cooking class in Room 4 on the second floor, in case you want to drop by.”

“Let me think about it,” I said, weighing the pros and cons.

Mia - “Sure, you know where to find us”

She was about to leave, but I stopped her. “Oh, um, in case I do go, do I have to bring anything?” I asked, a little worried since Y/N didn’t have a lot of things in their kitchen.

Mia - “Oh, no! Nacha already has everything. But if you want to learn a specific recipe, you're welcome to bring your own ingredients”

I nodded as she walked away. I closed the door and started thinking, “Maybe I should go; that way, I can learn more things.” I glanced at the clock. “Mmm, so in 3 hours. All right, I'll take a nap in the meantime,” I thought, heading to the couch and lying down, ready for a short rest.

When I opened my eyes, I sat up and looked around for a bit. Then I glanced at the clock—it was already a few minutes after 4! I quickly stood up, tidied myself up a little, and left my apartment.

Once I reached the second floor, I searched for Room 4. When I found it, I knocked, and the door immediately swung open.

Mia - *happy* “You're finally here!”

She grabbed my hand and pulled me inside. I could hear laughter coming from another room. Mia guided me toward the kitchen, and as I looked around, I noticed that this apartment was bigger than mine. “Probably because more people live here” I thought as I saw several photo frames.

Mia - “Everyone, this is Y/N! They will be with us today!”

All eyes turned to me, making me a little nervous. I recognized some of them, or at least I thought I did.

Angus - *smiling brightly* “Y/N! Good to see you here!”

Lady - “Hello, I'm Nacha, and I'll be your instructor. Oh, and this is my little assistant, my daughter Anastacha”

Anastacha - “Nice to meet you or whatever”

Angus - *pushing a man with glasses forward* “This is Steven, Steven this is Y/N, the one I've been talking about”

Steven didn’t say anything; he merely nodded and extended his hand to me. I gladly shook it. Another man also extended his hand. I looked at him; he was wearing a black hat. I shook his hand, feeling happy.

Man - “I’m Roman; it’s nice to see you again”

“Sorry? I don't think we've met before,” I replied, hoping that Y/N had indeed never met Roman.

Roman - “Yes, we haven't met properly, but I’ve seen you in the mornings when you go out the front doors”

I let out a sigh of relief. Nacha then clapped her hands, gathering everyone’s attention.

Nacha - “Alright, everyone, now that the introductions are done, let’s get started!”

Angus pulled me to his side, putting me in the middle of him and Steven, and once Nacha saw that we were all ready, she began her lesson.

After a few minutes, I got stuck in step 2. “How do I boil this again?” I wondered as I tried to turn on the heating machine.

Angus - *coming over* “Ha ha, my friend, you look like a caveman! Let me help you”

He easily turned on the heating machine. “Wow, you must be experienced with this machine” I said as I placed the pot on the fire.

Angus - *smiling* “It’s called a stove”

I flinched a little, worried that it might blow my cover.

Roman - *chiming in* “It’s still a machine”

I noticed that Roman was doing something completely different from us. While we were making something called 'pasta,' he was preparing something called 'cake.' “Why are you making cake instead of pasta?” I asked curiously.

Roman - “Today is mine and my wife's anniversity, so I want to make her a little something special”

“And how is a cake different from pasta?” I asked, not understanding. I didn’t know much about human culture, but I could feel that this 'cake' was special—so why not pasta too?

Roman - “Well, pasta would be good too, but I want her to enjoy a cake made by me to show how much I love her and how I remember the day we finally got marry”

Angus - “I’m sure she will be delighted!”

Roman nodded and thanked us. Suddenly, someone turned off my fire.

Anastacha - “It’s going to burn, you need to be careful or whatever”

“Oh, thanks,” I replied, watching the water with the pasta in it.

Anastacha - “You need to drain it”

“Why? Can’t we just eat it like that?” I asked, still not understanding. “Actually, couldn’t we have eaten it before we boiled it?” I questioned, confused about the whole process.

Anastacha - “Uhh, no, Unless you want to, but we need to cook almost everything we eat. If you don’t, you could get diseases and such. Why? You ask as if you’re not hu—” *interrupted*

Angus - *quickly butting in* “Ha ha! Seems my friend is a little too accustomed to fast food!”

“Huh? Fast food? Oh! No, I actually always eat TV dinners,” I said with a smile.

Nacha - *overhearing the conversation* “Do you always eat TV dinners? I know you may be busy, but those can be bad for you.”

“Well, I eat one a day, and I’m pretty strong, so it doesn’t harm me. Though they are a bit cold,” I replied while draining the pasta.

Nacha - “Well, if you only eat one a day, then I guess it’s okay. But still, you should try to eat a variety of foods. Also, if it’s still cold after heating it up, you just need to put it in the microwave for a bit longer or move the food around”

“Huh? Microwave? What’s that?” I asked, not understanding what she meant. “Could this 'microwave' be another machine?” I wondered as I noticed that everyone fell silent.

Y/N As A Doublegänger

From "That's Not My Neighbor" game

Part 3 (Part 1, Part 2, Part 4, Part 5, Part 6, Part 7, Part 8, Part 9, Part 10, Part 11)

I was pacing around in my apartment, thinking about my conversation with the doorman. “Everything is fine. Everything is okay. Nothing will happen to me. They truly think I'm the real Y/N,” I thought as I calmed down.

I looked out the window and saw a familiar face. They looked at me, I quickly hid, another doublegänger. I shook my head and went to sleep. The next morning, I got ready for work. I went down to the first floor, took out an entry permit, and was about to head out when I noticed another neighbor. I didn't recognize them. “Maybe I should get along with everyone in this building so that they don't suspect anything in case of anything. Yes, I'll do that,” I thought as I walked towards them.

“Umm, hey neighbor, heading to work,” I said awkwardly.

Neighbor - *turns to look at Y/N* “Oh, howdy neighbor! Why, yes, I'm heading to work right now, ready to make another great deal! Come on, let's head out together. Oh, by the way, my name is Angus Ciprianni. Pleasure meeting you *extends his hand*.”

“Likewise,” I said, smiling while shaking his hand. We both walked to the main entrance. The doorman greeted us as they got ready to start the day. Angus got to his car and looked at me as I was about to leave.

Angus - “Hey, do you need a ride to your job?”

“No, it's okay. I like to walk-” I stopped mid-sentence. The reason was that I saw the same doppelgänger from last night looking straight at me. I started to feel nervous. I didn't want to be labeled as a traitor, nor did I want to harm the humans. “I need to get out of here!” I quickly thought. I looked at Angus. “Mmm, actually, thinking it again, sure, I'll accept your offer,” I said. Angus smiled brightly and elwe got in. After that, he started the car and began driving.

I thanked him as I got out of the car, and he drove off. I entered my workplace building and went to my floor, still nervous about whatever may happen.

After finishing my work, I went to the building's main entrance, yet I stopped in my tracks. I was still nervous, even though nothing had happened during working hours. That wouldn't be the same when I got out and went back home. I sighed and started walking. I was on edge every second that I walked. Every alley made me nervous about whatever might be lurking. Every sound triggered my instincts. I just wanted to get to the apartment quickly. “It's funny how I have the same fear that humans have for my kin,” I thought as I finally arrived at the apartment.

I sighed with relief and went in. I started getting my papers ready when suddenly the alarm went off. “No, no! No! I haven't even arrived at the window. They can't be after me!” I panicked. I stayed still when suddenly a pair of gentle arms moved me out of the way and put me beside the hallway wall. I saw a group of men wearing yellow hazmat suits run towards the window.

I closed my eyes, not wanting to watch as one of my kin was dragged away. Yet, I could hear the yelling, the pleading. I could only imagine what they would do to me. Deep in my thoughts, I couldn't hear someone calling for me until I was gently shaken. I looked up and saw someone who resembled one of my friends.

Neighbor - “Umm, hey, are you okay? Sorry, I moved you so roughly, but you were spacing out in the middle of the hallway, and sometimes the D.D.D can be a bit rude and shove people out of their way.”

“Yeah, yeah, I'm fine, thanks,” I said as I slowly relaxed myself. The man nodded, and he let me go first to the window, even though he looked very tired. I arrived at the window and saw the doorman looking a bit angry. He then looked at me and smiled.

Doorman - “Y/N! Good to see you right after that horrible experience.”

“Mmm? What happened?” I asked as I handed him the papers.

Doorman - *angry* “Well, a doppelgänger that looked like you came. Thankfully, I was able to spot many discrepancies.”

“… Oh, umm, well thanks for that. I'm sure the man after me is also the real one, but don't take my word for it, since I don't know him yet,” I said, trying to change the subject, yet my attempt failed.

Doorman - *smiles while checking the papers* “You know, the doppelgänger said something very interesting. It mentioned how it had been knocked unconscious and taken by many other doppelgängers, and while they were out, another took their place. They mentioned how they were the real one. *sighs* Yet I didn't believe them since they were very demanding and rude.”

I was trembling at this point. The real one was taken by those men in yellow, and it was all my fault. How did I not notice that they were actually human? Was it because they had been around doppelgängers the whole time? Or was it because I was panicking? Suddenly, I felt the paper in my hands again and saw the door open.

Doorman - *worried* “Hey, come inside for a few minutes.”

I nodded nervously and got in. I walked slowly to the office. Once I got there, I entered, and the doorman was checking the last resident's papers.

Doorman - *looks at Y/N then at the neighbor* “Hey, Francis, could you come in for a few minutes, please?”

The man, Francis, nodded, and just as the door opened, he entered and made his way towards the office. Once he got there, he entered, and we both looked curiously at the doorman.

Doorman - *smiles* “Francis, are you going to drink those two bottles of milk?”

Francis sighed and grabbed the two bottles and gave them to the doorman. The doorman chuckled and gave me one of the bottles.

Doorman - “Here, you seem a little tense, and maybe this fresh milk will help you.”

I nodded and took the bottle. I opened it and started drinking. From the corner of my eye, I could see Francis looking at me with a bit of confusion or was it disbelief?

Doorman - *chuckles and looks at Y/N* “You can go now. That's all I wanted to give you.”

I smiled and nodded, and before I left, I saw Francis with a surprised face. I closed the door. “Maybe Francis hadn't seen Y/N or maybe not this expressive,” I thought as I headed to the elevator.

Y/N As A Doublegänger

From That's Not My Neighbor game

Part 2 (Part 1, Part 3, Part 4, Part 5, Part 6, Part 7, Part 8, Part 9, Part 10, Part 11)

I started eating while watching some opera on TV. To be honest, the meal wasn't bad; it was pretty filling. I looked at the time and saw that it was midnight. “I should go to sleep; after all, I have work tomorrow. Wait, where did I work again? Oh, right, an office. Maybe after receiving my paycheck, I could go grocery shopping,” I thought as I cleaned up everything and headed towards the bedroom. I changed clothes, got into bed, and went to sleep.

I woke up to a dreadful sound that was so annoying and wouldn't shut up. I opened my eyes and looked for the source of the sound. I glanced at the clock on the night table and noticed that it was the thing making the horrible noise.

“Okay, how do I shut you up?” I said as the beeping continued. I examined the clock carefully and noticed a button. I pressed it, and the sound stopped.

“Okay, so that's the button to shut this thing up. I don't know how Y/N was able to survive that dreadful noise,” I thought as I started to get ready for work.

I made sure to pocket the key after closing the door. I couldn't eat anything for breakfast since I didn't have the appetite for another cup of instant noodles. “Maybe with the money I found, I'll be able to buy something to eat,” I thought as I made sure to have my papers and everything correct. “Hopefully today, I don't get caught. I want to continue living this life,” I thought as I got into the elevator and went down.

I relaxed myself and walked towards the exit with my papers. Suddenly, I heard someone calling out for Y/N, or rather, my name now. I turned around and saw the doorman walking towards me. I started to freak out but didn't show it. The doorman got close to me and smiled.

Doorman - “Hey, Y/N, already heading to work? Also you ok? I didn't see you yesterday morning so I was a little sad”

I only nodded, “Y/N usually doesn't answer personal things so I guess this is a good answer” I thought as I saw them smile, they then gave me a pat on the shoulder.

Doorman - “Alright, seems your good but make sure not to work so much. You need a break or two.”

“I could say the same for you,” I said without thinking and quickly quieted myself. “Oh crap! I shouldn't have said that! Y/N would never say that!” I panicked internally, yet I was not expecting the doorman to start laughing.

Doorman - *calming down* “I'm glad to see that you are getting used to me. Usually, you would only ignore me, but this change is good for you. *sighs* But yeah, a break would be nice for both of us. Well, let's get to work. Hope to see you early today and not at midnight like Francis.”

“Who's Francis?” I thought and only nodded at them. “Well, have a nice day,” I said and walked away.

As I walked towards "my" workplace, I started to wonder how and since when the doorman knew Y/N. Suddenly, I smelled something delicious and immediately headed towards the source - a coffee shop. I entered and bought a light breakfast. “Good, now I just need to worry about tomorrow,” I thought as I continued my walk.

I arrived at my workplace. “Okay, just act normal. You can do it. I have already done this once; I can do it again,” I thought as I entered the office, went to my work floor, sat down at my desk, and started working.

Hours passed, and everything was going well. I had managed to be like Y/N the entire time and was making good progress. Suddenly, I felt a hand on my shoulder. I turned around, and it was the team manager.

Team Manager - “Hey, Y/N. I appreciate that you always stay this late to work, but now it's time to go home.”

I looked out the window, and it was already night. I nodded, and the team manager left after saying a quick 'Goodbye.' I looked at the clock and noticed that it was almost 11. I stood up, grabbed my things, and headed out.

“Well, today went well, but I should probably start leaving early so that the doorman doesn't have to stay out late too,” I thought as I walked towards the apartment building. Once I got there, I started to mentally prepare myself. “I can do it. I've already gotten inside once; I can do it again,” I thought as I took out my papers.

It was the same as yesterday - the doorman checked my papers very carefully, and after making sure, he let me in. I entered and let out a sigh of relief. Then, I heard the door to the office open. I turned around and saw the doorman with their things.

Doorman - “Hey, Y/N, how was work?”

“Good, what about yours?” I asked, hoping they wouldn't discover me.

Doorman - *sighs* “It was a bit hard - more doppelgängers than usual. Actually, one told me something interesting.”

That caught my attention. “Like what?” I asked, a little anxious.

Doorman - “Well, actually, it didn't tell me. More like it yelled at me. They said, *mimicking the doublegänger's “voice”* 'You had let one of us in, so how come I can't get in!' *thinking* But I haven't let in any doppelgängers, since no one has died. So what did it mean?”

I was nervous at this point. My kin knew that I was inside, and I started to grow more paranoid, which unfortunately the doorman noticed.

Doorman - *smiling* “Hey buddy, don't worry about it. I bet that doppelgänger was just trying to make the whole building suspicious about each other. That's why you can't tell anyone else, okay? I only told you because I needed to get it off my chest and because I know that you won't tell anyone else.”

“Yeah, thanks for trusting me,” I said and relaxed. I noticed that the doorman looked at my head. I didn't understand why. “Do I have something in my hair?” I asked. They looked at me in the eyes and smiled.

Doorman - “No, nothing. Don't worry about it. Well, let's go to our rooms. Tomorrow is a workday again.”

I nodded, and we both headed towards our floors.
