Event || Window of Opportunity

[melodiesmods]

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!

Bloom was always awake early and started the day with a good meal and some exercise. When that was over she started to walk, heading off to start her daily patrol. With each step she looked around, she could see that people seemed to be what she assumed they were bothering him since the guy kept on walking.

So she figured she might as well stop them and to let the guy continue on his walk in peace. "If he said no, then he said no. Please stop bothering him." As she said the words she could see them backing off a bit before she looked at the guy. "Want me to walk with you, so people will leave you alone?"

[unetoned]

Billy gave the newcomer a confused look. He'd been fine on his own. The missionaries weren't anything he couldn't handle. Was having a pretty girl walking with him supposed to make people notice them less?

"I can take care of myself," he said, not wanting her to think he wasn't tough or capable, just because he was a teenager...or a white mage...or whatever other reason. But he also didn't want to be rude, not to a perfectly nice lady who wanted to help him.

"But I can walk with you if you want company. My name's Billy," he offered.

[dragonflame]

"If you say you can, I won't, but I'm just doing my job as a law enforcement officer. Bugging people while not against the law could turn into something with them." She wasn't sure if it would get worse, but given the way they were bugging people she couldn't say they weren't going to just to get money out of them.

"I'm Bloom, or since I'm currently working Lieutenant Bloom." She knew it wasn't long now until she could get another promotion to the next stage, but she knew it would be a while before that was possible.

[unetoned]

Billy blinked at her. He should not have been surprised; his friend from back home, Elly, was a cute redheaded girl who was also a high-ranking military officer. There was no reason Bloom could not be a police lieutenant. Billy just hadn't expected it.

"Oh. Um, ok, then. Is this normal, having solicitors on the streets, Lieutenant?" She seemed to think they could be a potential threat.

[dragonflame]

"I haven't seen them around before, so not really. I think today is the first times I've seen them anyway." She wondered if they were using what was going on with the post war as a reason to do this, which actually made the whole thing pretty disgusting in her eyes.

"They shouldn't bother people anyway not after what's happened. They should focus there efforts elsewhere."

[unetoned]

Billy shrugged at that. "Some people will always try to take advantage of others, no matter what the situation is. It's just a sad reality."

The only think that could really be done about it was trying to always help others, to counteract those types.

[dragonflame]

"That I sadly do know, but I always try my best to deal with it in my own way." And her way seemed to help a little bit anyway, at home of course, so she wondered if she would be able to figure it out here.

"Though one finds it's always a battle."

[unetoned]

Billy nodded. They had nearly reached the hospital, with no further hindrance.

"I know. That's what I'm working at the hospital, so I can help the less fortunate." Trying to balance out the evil in the world was the best he was going to be able to do.

[dragonflame]

"That's a very noble thing to do especially now during this time." She could see the hospital from the distance and knew that she will heading off in another direction soon. At least so she could possibly help out others.

"Alright... Do you think they won't bother you from here?"

[unetoned]

He nodded again. "Yes, I think I can manage from here." He had dealt with monster attacks at home. He had faith he could make it across the street to get to his workplace.

"Thanks. It's nice to know that the police force has someone looking out for the people here." He did not have much faith in establishments anymore, but he did have faith in people.

[dragonflame]

"There are others who are looking out for people apart from me, but the city is so big." With a slight bow, she knew to turn and just head off, he needed to get to work and she needed to keep up her job for the rest of the day.
