#dopplers

-A doppler impersonates Geralt and then instead of fighting just has a conversation with him. Two Geralts at once. Let your brain chew on that for a moment.

-Geralt speaks Mermaid

-Dandelion/Jaskier is responsible (in canon) for writing the story of The Little Mermaid based on one of Geralt's contracts

-Dandelion/Jaskier wears a rainbow jacket??

He was serious.

“Geralt-”

“I said go. There’s nothing else to say.”

“But-” A look cut him off. His icy eyes froze the bard in place, and Jaskier could feel his heart beating like a rabbit’s. Something had to be wrong.

“Enough. I have tolerated this for long enough. I have no use for an annoying bard with no musical talent. Now leave. Before I make you leave.”

The Witcher drew his sword, and for the first time in his life, Jaskier felt true fear.

He had never felt this before, the prickly feeling slowly engulfing his body, his body frozen as he stared into Geralt’s eyes. Sure, others had been scared of Geralt. But never in Jaskier’s life had he thought he would be scared of the Witcher. Eyes he had looked into so many times he had them memorized, their unique color and pattern like a second home to him. He didn’t understand- he couldn’t understand. What had he done?

Geralt had left for food, and come back, well, different. His movements off, his body awkward. Obviously Jaskier had assumed he was injured, and when he had moved towards him to look for the injury that was probably worse than Geralt was letting on, the idiot, the Witcher had physically flinched back.

And now, well, he was genuinely scared. Because Geralt wasn’t injured, he wasn’t cursed. He just hated him.

Maybe sleeping with the Mayor’s wife in the last town had been the final straw. Maybe it had been getting them kicked out of a tavern for getting in a bar fight.

“Now.” The growl jolted him back into reality, and he forced himself to move.

Danger. And this time there was no Geralt to protect him.

“If I ever see your face again, I will kill you.” The promise, the treat, shook him to his core.

It seemed he was truly unwanted everywhere.

Goodbye.

He left.

meaning the ones that have survived are very, very old, but they don’t show it in how they think/behave because they’ve spent most of their very long lives as animals with no concept of time or no ability to attach meaning to memory, and the Dopplers who have made a home among humans became humans relatively recently in the scheme of things

Makes sense that they are all just very old and wouldn’t reproduce— first of all, what are the odds that any two at a time will have compatible uglies to bump, or that one would recognize another if one was a human, and one was, let’s say, a deer? and it would explain why their continued extermination has been so successful. There’s a finite number of them

Ahhh @default-mode I’m sorry this took so long to respond to! I try to reply to asks on my laptop and I’ve just been doing literally nothing but playing TW3 for like... two weeks, and having no time for owt else. Sorry!

But DANG that is some hard angst you have there, especially with real!Jask being dead. I like the idea of playing with the notion of what makes you “you”, although oh my god I don’t like the idea of Jask being dead. Why is he dead?? What happened?? ARGH MY BOY.
