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!

"...Yes. Thank you," she said, frowning quietly.
no subject
"The doctor will come by in a moment to check you over, but with that antidote, you should be just fine after you rest."
He backed away from her cot. "For your safety, please avoid hamsters in the future...no matter how cute they look."
no subject
Her slim fingers caught the sleeve of his uniform as Rukia turned her head to look up at him. She was still pale and slightly feverish, but her eyes were focused intensely on his face. He wouldn't remember this, but she owed him a debt.
"Your name. What is it?"
no subject
Not that Billy thought he needed supervision. He'd been casting white magic spells at home for a couple of years now. But rules were rules, and he did not want to lose his new job.
no subject
And tomorrow, it wouldn't even matter. She won't be arriving in the hospital a second time, and he won't need to cast Cure at all.
"If you were to receive a token of appreciation from a patient, what would you prefer, Billy?"
no subject
Not to mention that he suspected Rukia had a concussion and was not in a state of mind to be making rational decisions. It would be wrong to take advantage and suggest she owed him anything.
"Just saying, 'Thanks' is enough."
no subject
She continued to peer at him directly. Her gaze was tired, but lucid. She wasn't about to let him leave without knowing at least one small thing that he favored.
"Once you have done so, then I will thank you."
no subject
"...people at home used to give me bullets." It probably seemed like a weird thing for a healer to ask for, but it was the truth. Ammo was finite, but the need for ammo infinite. Most of the people Billy knew gave him a box of new and interesting bullets during gift-giving occasions.
"Now please lay back and try to keep still. Your body is still recovering from being poisoned."
no subject
Rukia smiled, chuckling softly, and closed her eyes. "I see. Bullets, then. You are an interesting young man." She folded her hands on her stomach, taking a small breath to relax herself.
"Thank you."
no subject
"You can stay here until the doctor clears you to go home. If you need anything, I'll be just outside, where you found me before."
Billy headed to the door, giving her one last glance to check on her before he exited the room.
no subject
And so, after the time loop was broken, a small package would be delivered to the hospital bearing Billy's name. It was a box of finely crafted ammunition, with a small card.
'With thanks, from another time.'
She didn't sign her name, as it would likely confuse him. But later, perhaps, they would meet again.
super late tag to wrap it up
But the message made no sense to him. Whoever it was knew him well enough to find a gift he'd appreciate, but he honestly had no clue who it could be. He hadn't done anything extraordinary to earn a reward.
Since he had no way to thank the person who'd given the gift, he decided to work extra hard at the hospital that day. Paying it forward was the best way he could think to return his mysterious benefactor's kindness.
