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!

[Yugi had figured out the lab might have the answer they all seeked and found himself there to take a look around. Looking high and looking low, he wasn't able to see anything that might be what they needed. Information, or at least an answer. When someone spoke up, he turned his head, his hands holding a book of some kind.]

I know they can be complicated but I've never managed to use one before.

[An exhausted-looking Johnny plopped down in front of a computer, looking at it doubtfully for a moment.]

I never even used 'em much back home, even. Except for my phone, I guess. Used the hell out of that. But it ain't even close to being the same.

[Not much in common between these things and an old iPhone.]

I was hopin' that... [He stops, and looks at Yugi questioningly. No sense in dancing around the questions.] You one of the folks unstuck in time, as the sayin' goes?

You meaning being in the loop and aware? That already answers your question, I am aware of what is going on and that is why I am currently here. That and just trying not to go insane by doing something different.

[Though that doesn't help with the situation at all.]

Though computer wise, these ones actually seem to work different from say I guess earth computers...From what I've seen.
charming_jerk: (thinking)

[personal profile] charming_jerk 2015-09-29 08:27 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah, they sure do. But considerin' how many loops we've been through now, we got time to learn, right? I just hope this is the right idea. I'm runnin' out of 'em. Not that I had many to begin with.

[personal profile] sizedoesntmatter 2015-09-30 11:54 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah and I do wish I had the hacker job equipped right now. Could have made it much easier.

[He sighed slightly before looking at the other.]

Do you have that job?
charming_jerk: (blue)

[personal profile] charming_jerk 2015-09-30 01:42 pm (UTC)(link)
I don't. Now I wish I had. I only ever considered banking combat Jobs, besides Bard.

[He's thinking hard about it though.] Do we know anyone who might?
sizedoesntmatter: (143)

[personal profile] sizedoesntmatter 2015-10-02 11:27 am (UTC)(link)
I guess we balance each other out in that regard as I prefer Jobs that don't, so I have the Job but currently can;t equipped it because it will just revert to the way it was before when time starts over again.

[He paused about it for a moment.]

I get the feeling that there might be someone, but if they aren't like us would they want to help?

Anyone else is just gonna think we're nuts.

[Johnny wracks his brain, trying to think of if he knows any Programmers. He suddenly remembers a conversation he had with Chiaki, about how she turned over to it from Bard and was learning to make tamagochi.]

Chiaki! She might still be one. I have no idea if she's caught in the loop or not yet, but even if she's not, she might be willing to believe us.

That I am aware of, so unless I know they are like us, I try and not give it away.

[Because that would be pretty stupid if he had to admit. Then again would trying to blend in and pretend everything was okay really be the smartest of ideas?]

Mabe we could find out somehow... Though as to how I don't exactly know.
