Event || Window of Opportunity
Characters: All Heroes of Light.
Where: Aqures Ixen - Everywhere
When: September 25th - From 12:30 to 22:30.
Summary: Heroes of Light will relive the same ten hours over and over again until they find a solution. This may be a blow to what's left of their sanity, but that's also a window of opportunity! The OOC Post is here for more information! It's not too late to sign-up, anyone can still jump right into the event! However, your vote for the total number of loops will not be taken into account any more.
Speaking of which-- Votes are in and this time displacement madness will be solved after 191 loops. Practically speaking, this means characters going through every single loop will live 2 months, 2 weeks, 3 days and 14 hours in the span of half a day. Hopefully they won't mind the food for the day, the clothes they're wearing or what they were doing when the loop started, because that's what they'll be stuck with until the end. There are some events described below, but there will be no NPC replies. Feel free to partake in these events and of course, make your own!
Warning: Too many time loops may be bad for your mental health.
The Flence Salesman
— All Day Long —
There is a salesman from Flence in the city, and he is going for every person he sees in the streets. Adults, children or elders, humans or tarutarus, it doesn't matter to him so long as he can make money! He will try to sell to the characters specialties from Flence and some crystals at absolutely awful prices, but he's open to negotiations and beyond that, he's extremely persistent. Normally, nobody would care about this, but given the salesman isn't be aware of the loop, he'll keep doing the same things over and over again... Hopefully he won't see your characters, otherwise he might just bother them for every single loop.
Moogle Demonstration for the Future of Mognet
— 12:30 => 16:00 —
For a surprise one-day long strike, the Moogles are demonstrating! There are roughly 800 Moogles together (250 according to the government, 5000 according to the striking Moogles) in the demonstration, all singing slogans and some even holding placards with "More Gil and Less Work" or "Give us Kupo Nuts" signs.
They started at 10:00 and left from the 09th District, but they will go throughout every district and explain what their protest is about. They'll finish at 16:00 and will be back to the 09th District to eat Kupo Nuts and drink Chocobo Milk together.
Biggs' Grand Return
— 14:00 => 22:30 —
After a month spent in the hospital, Biggs is finally back! He leave the Hospital at 14:00 and head straight for the Castle of Aqures Ixen. Noticeably he still has a broken and bandaged arm, but he'll pretend to be totally fine and for that matter, he will be as rude and as unfriendly as ever. He will spend most of the day in the Castle, but will go in Palitutu's Lab by 19:00 to meet with Cid. Among other things, he will side-eye everyone and will accidentally splash Cid's coffee on a Hero of Light working there (or on a Moogle, should the Hero have the good sense to avoid Biggs next loop).
Renovation of the Blitzball Stadium
— 15:30 => 20:00 —
The repairs are going steadily and today, a special dome from Trano Golsaucia is being transported and placed on the Blitzball Stadium, brand new and much more modern than what Aqures Ixen used to have! On the downside however, the airship bringing the dome and the work being done on the stadium are all very, very noisy. So noisy that everyone in a two-district radius will be bothered by it.
Under normal circumstances it would have been only for a short time and easilly bearable, but here it will happen for every single loop.
Have You Heard of the Heroes of Light?
— All Day Long —
Throughout the day, a few people are going to go and knock on every doors in the city, to talk about a most fascinating topic: the Heroes of Light! They will speak about how it is said the Heroes of Light are in Crystallis and how they managed to defeat the empire without difficulties back during the attack! Then they will go on and ask for a contribution (hear: money) to help the Heroes of Light in their cause. Of course, these people are dishonest and the money will go into their own pockets, as they don't believe in the Heroes of Light to begin with.
And of course, they'll go knock on doors during every single loop!
The Accident
— 22:29 => 22:30 —
The one minute that started it all. Who is the imbecile who committed the mistake on Palitutu's computer? Is this a Moogle or a Hero of Light, maybe Cid or Biggs? Whoever it is, after the first time, at 22:29 the program will start again on its own and will activate the loop right at 22:30, sending everything back to 12:30. The characters may try to run more programs to block the computer, cut the energy source or even bomb the building if they so wish...
But these archaic and barbaric solutions won't prevent the next loop from happening. Only hard work and scientific solutions shall prevail!

A
THANKS, Luffy. Jack has been through enough loops to know what's going on, and he's trying to vary his activities from loop to loop, never get caught in a pattern."Hello?" Jack steps into the shop, but is instantly distracted by looking at MarKus' equipment. They're the kinds of things he hasn't paid too much attention to before.
Re: A
"Yo." A generic, yet friendly greeting from the owner himself.
Re: A
"I don't need anything quite so complicated. My last sword, ah-" Jack smiles. "Well, a very good friend broke it to stop me from doing something stupid. So, I guess I should spring for a really good one."
Re: A
"Oh yeah... that weird PacMan Guitar thing." he says, nodding. "I remember that. We took a while to design it to be practical and aesthetically satisfying."
And that's what he took pride in. Non-generic, custom shit... complicated stuff that challenged him. He was a mecha builder after all, not a real weaponsmith."
"So... you just want... a better sword? Like you don't even care what it looks like? Are you sure?" He raises an eyebrow.
Re: A
"Primarily, though, it's gotta be strong enough to not be able to be broken by a Monk bare-handed," Jack chuckles. "Also, do you have the stuff to infuse it with an elemental property, or would it be better if I collected that on my own?" Chiaki had mentioned that sounded like 'perfect side-quest material.'
Re: A
"I have some basic elements... Fire, Ice, Lightning." he says. "Though... I've got this Advanced Job thing I haven't had a chance to really test out yet."
And being stuck in the loop, he wouldn't for months of repeats. "If you find something better than the basics, that's cool, but... I've got the basics in surplus."
Re: A
"Where would you get a line on something stronger? There's got to be a trade in it somewhere, and I can't be the only person wondering about this."
There's a very long pause as Jack mulls something over. "Also, we were getting some things from home. Before. Not sure how Jessie-" whoops, "er, how Palitulu was doing it. But what would you need? Tech-wise, I might be able to help."
Re: A
He hums a bit.
"But word is that this... job combination I took I can fix myself up with good stuff... When I figure out how. Shit comes with time... sadly..." he rolls his eyes. Stupid non-magically imparting information.
Re: A
"But, well..." And Jack pulls out a paper and begins making a rough sketch for MarKus, explaining as he goes. Greatsword, but with a curved edge to the blade? He finds himself using slashing motions more, so, time to fit the weapon to the fighting style that he's gravitating towards. It might not even be doable or well-balanced, the way he's thinking about it, but that's why he takes it to the person who does know what he's doing.
Re: A
"But that said, this is the kind of stuff I like doing. I know that mundane work is what needs to be done, but this is the good work that I like,/i> doing!"
