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!

"Not my best, but not my worst." A patron tried to charge the seeming young man from behind but she squared down and scooped him up into a headlock before slamming his face into a table.

"And you? A day to remember I expect?"

"I wish," replied the Adventurer, kicking one of them across the bar where they skidded and fell off it into a few patrons.

"This is my... I lost count, go around and I'm mixing it up before I go mad." He grabbed another who was charging him and he flipped the man over his shoulder. "I feel sorry if this is the last loop or whatever, because then I would have a black mark on my record."

"Likewise. I kept track at first but I think if I kept on with that then I'd only make it worse. It helps to just take a few and sleep through them as well." She didn't like having to give this advice. She hoped it would be over soon.

"But aye, that would be a bad thing. Still, if this is going on then there's a chance to be reckless if you want to take the gamble."

(ooc: would this loop be before or after the airship theft you think?)

"I took time to swing a golf ball into Biggs head after I got coffee poured on me. I'm probably going to be persona non grata there for a while." answered the Adventurer.

(ooc: before I think)

"I'm thinking something a bit more risky...one moment." She turned and shoulderchecked a bar patron before flinging him into another. However the damned fool got ahold of her as she did so and took her bandanna with it.

"Damn it." She seemed less worried about the loss of the cloth than her identity though. But the guy was now buried under another. Smirking, she glanced over her shoulder, "Perhaps we should chat elsewhere."

"Sounds like a plan. Pray, we should mop up these ruffians quickly." Clothes-lining one last one, he spun him around before tossing the poor patron into the last of the opponents.

"Through the window?"

Through the window on the ground floor? They could, but they could be surrounded just as quick. "If you want to do that, then I have an idea. Follow me."

Turning, she ran for the stairs and climbed them two at a time. If they were going to use a window they might as well take to the rooftops.

Grinning, he leaped from the ground floor to the upper level in a swift motion, and followed Kidd just as quickly. This was going to be fun at least!

Mary whistled as the man moved so well, her hair streaming behind her thanks to her lost bandana. Coming to the end of the hall she picked up a vase and threw it through the window before clambering out and leaping to the rooftops.

She couldn't do this as quickly or smoothly as she could without her Ninja or Assassin job but she still spent every day training to do it herself.

Sliding through the window in a smooth motion, he followed behind, dodging a grab. "Well they seem unhappy," he chuckled.

Drunk or not, the bar patrons would find it a lot harder to keep up with them as they leaped from roof to roof. "Most folk you'd find in a pub seem to be that way. Look at a girl long enough and you'll have a punch to duck for example."

"It's like the Ul'dah Quicksand bar. Lots of fights break out there, even if it usually settles itself."

More often than not, he noticed a so-called Nunh trying to lord over the Miqo'te.

Kidd laughed as they kept running, "Sounds a lot like Havana for me." She couldn't help but sigh as she vaulted over a chimney. She missed her old friends. But many of them had died before she was captured.

Bounding from roof to roof thanks to his Job, he grinned at her. "So what brought on the tavern brawl? Surely naught one to worry too much about, is it?"

"A couple fights all rolled into one. One man accusing another of sleeping with his woman here. A spilled pint there. An argument over a bet. And then it all rolled together." It was rather fun being able to watch them all swell and roll together once she found the starting points.

"It is like stepping into Ul'dah once more," groaned Meteor as he bonded along with Kidd with a shake of his head. "At least then you have "tribe wars" and broody adventurers with ludicrous stories mashing together."

"Like Nassau for me then. The Pirate Republic was a nice place for a little while." It didn't stay that way, but ideals were never easily reached. For now she could at least enjoy what this loop did offer her. The chance to act like her old self.

"So then mostly like home," he laughed, shaking his head. "I feel like some days we will see just what sort of craziness the world can throw at us."

"Well I'm sure you won't be disappointed. This is certainly new though."

"True. I have never quite experienced this sort of thing before. It took me about 50 loops before I took time off for myself. And another 10 to figure out what good or trouble I could get into."

I need to see just how far we can take this. If I gamble and I'm wrong I could wind up in jail or dead or worse...But if I'm right we can use this time to sneak into places or even blow off some steam.

"True. And there is a lot of interesting things to find after all."

"So...what shall we do before the next loop begins?"

"Hmm... feel like larceny. What about you?"

"Been thinking about sneaking into the castle...and maybe stealing an airship."
