General roleplays

Re: Where Matt has a real identical twin named Mike who is sighted and is Daredevil
I read the stuff you posted, I'm glad you decided to. Also, theres nothing wrong with fluff, I think this story probably needs a halted dose of it to get away from the angst overload! :) Yeah, he doesn't have to talk to Foggy now, he can do it whenever, so Matt doesn't know abut it. Maybe the fight should be a few weeks down the line from where we're at now, give Matt chance to be ignored a few more times when he tells Mike to fess up, give Foggy a few more chances to be confused about Matt inventing a brother, so Matt gets good and pissed about it all (he seems reasonably chill right now, just being happy that Mike's back in his life)
Also, you're right, the invited in thing does sound a bit vampire-y. I thought it when I wrote it, but I couldn't think of another way to say it. Might be best to change that!
Where do you think the story should go from here though? I'm thinking cut to Mike talking to Foggy, maybe Foggy's POV and him analyzing everything, trying to work out whether there could actually be two Murdocks, then deciding there is no way this isn't the same Matt he spoke to that morning but in different (way more hideous) clothes. That could be where h invites him out to Josies, maybe with the intention of telling him later, but gets distracted by some girl or decides to leave it a bit longer.
I'm definitely with you on the Mike vs friends thing. Also by this point in his life, he probably wouldn't know how to make a friend. It's not like he goes to school or has a job where he can meet people in a normal way. So even if he did want normal friends, which you're right he probably would be afraid to do, he probably wouldn't be able to, so he might be a bit jealous of Matt for that.
Dates etc, not sure. I guess Mike hasn't been around the whole time Matt's been at Columbia, or he would have mentioned him to Foggy, but when he actually disappeared, could have been after they graduated high school or before Matt moved into the dorm at college. The six month thing isn;t set in stone, but I'd say setting it around March time might be best, if we actually have to name a time of year, for the reasons you said. And yeah, he might not have been away really. He might have been keeping an eye on his brother. He might even have been impersonating Matt for longer than he realizes!
Re: Where Matt has a real identical twin named Mike who is sighted and is Daredevil
Yeah - I think the fluff and fun should help balance out all the lovely angst. And yeah, I like the fight being a few weeks out.
Actually, I thought the vampirey statement was kinda cute for Mike - he does kind of show up almost like this otherworldly creature - the only one who knows he's there is Matt.
That works for me - if I had continued, I would've sent him after Foggy. Maybe Mike pretends to be distracted by a girl or whatever - he can't go back to the dorm where Matt is... Then Foggy is confused that when he arrives home Matt is already in bed asleep... LOL
Yeah, probably more than a little envious. Poor Mike.
Do you think Mike believes in Stick's war? Or is he with him because it's the only thing he can see himself doing? (Well, until maybe he has the Man in the Mask/Daredevil identity going for him for a while.)
LOL Yeah, maybe even on the first day... Had to make sure his brother was going to be ok. (Part of the reason I wanted to reason it out was to figure out the weather. Well, that and help me figure out what Mike is thinking.)
Re: Where Matt has a real identical twin named Mike who is sighted and is Daredevil
Right, I'm going to try to write some Mike votes to See Foggy stuff tonight, see if I can come up with anything good!
Good question on whether Mike believes in the war or not. I'd say he probably does, actually. If his whole life he's had this stuff drilled into him, and he's seen the Hand in action, he knows about Black Sky, yeah I'd say he's probably been pretty much indoctrinated into it. But just becuase he believes in it and that it's the right thing to do doesn't mean that he wants to do it. Might be he'd much rather disappear and have a more normal life, but if he does that, Stick's definitely going to try to recruit Matt. Also, yeah, after however many year of just fighting and being Daredevil, he's probably not going to be able to realistically see himself doing anything else anyway. So he leaves that to Matt and lives a normal life vicariously through him.
Re: Where Matt has a real identical twin named Mike who is sighted and is Daredevil
Yeah, I like the angle where he's really mostly in it to protect Matt. (Heck, Matt of season 2 didn't even need that much - they just had to be in his territory.) Well, that, and he probably wants to keep people safe.
