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!

[Well this was rather interesting to say the least. She hadn't been expecting to see anyone just dancing. But she figured they got the Dancer Job that was given out recently.]

Practising dance steps, I take it? You look like you are enjoying it.

[line_piece]

Yeah. It's fun to learn a dance from one of your favorite games.

[dragonflame]

I don't know about games, but I always enjoyed different types of dancing. It was great exercise as well as fun.

[Although she currently didn't have it equipped to use such abilities.]

[line_piece]

Dances from games are the only kind I've ever really done. But they are fun.

[dragonflame]

I guess they can be fun, I mean after all a lot of dances like ballet are mostly dances that have been done before. Although ballet is not the best for ones feet after a while.

[line_piece]

It's not? How come? Is it different from other dances?

[dragonflame]

It can effect a dangers feet because they are always en point, which means they put all of there weight onto the points of there feet.

[line_piece]

It sounds painful.

[dragonflame]

It can be since all your weight on just that point. That's why there feet get messed up if they do it for long enough. I do it from time to time, but I'm not like the experts.

[line_piece]

So yours didn't get hurt like that?

[dragonflame]

I don't exactly do it correctly on the tips of the toes, so no it doesn't hurt if you do it like this...

[She doesn't go on her tip toes be instead her toes were flat on the ground as she lifts herself.]

Like this sometimes.

[line_piece]

It still looks really graceful.

[dragonflame]

It is very graceful and it makes you realize just how hard the dancers work and how much they must hurt there feet to be able to make it look like though

[line_piece]

I knew a dancer in my world, before I came here. She was one of the best in the world at Japanese traditional dance. I never got to see her perform, though. I wonder if she had to practice a lot too.

[dragonflame]

To be a master of a certain dance, I assume so many hours would have been out into practice, so in your friends case I assume so.

[line_piece]

It sounded hard. She couldn't even put her clothes on without help.

[dragonflame]

I can't say I know much about Japanese culture, so I have to assume the outfit she has to wear makes it hard to put on by ones self, thus why she needs the help?

[line_piece]

Yeah. Another friend of ours had to help her with the obi.

[dragonflame]

I assume that is something one can;t do alone. Would you happen to know why?

[line_piece]

It's really long, I think.

[dragonflame]

Really long... [She pauses for a moment.]

I guess that is a good enough reason for the help. But um... What other dancing do you know?

[line_piece]

Pretty much just this. I have a rhythm game I play sometimes, but that's not really dancing the way most people think of it.

[dragonflame]

That is a different kind of dancing. Kind of like backing dancing at a concert at least.

[line_piece]

Kind of, yeah.

[dragonflame]

Kind of? It's closer to that than most other dances. Not that I've studied any of them. Though i guess some could be those kind of dances one might find at a party as well.
