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!

no subject
[She's informed him before, and he was so receptive that she started to take it for granted.]
We are currently trapped in a time loop. Some, like myself, are aware of it. But others are not. I'm currently trying to determine the area of effect in order to pinpoint its source, assuming it has a circular radius.
[Rukia looks at Cloud.]
I'm aware that it is unsafe to travel alone, even on a chocobo. If you wouldn't mind riding with me until approximately half past ten this evening, I would be grateful. That is when the loop resets, at which point I will return and attempt to explore in a different direction.
no subject
[He doesn't remember seeing her any time recently where it might have come up. He's about to press the point but then she goes and opens it up herself. His eyes go wide as she tells this tale and he's not sure what to make of it.]
Uh...sure I guess what we can. But what do you mean time loop? And How come I'm not aware of it too? [This sort of thing would normally be a Hero thing. Looks like it's time for Rukia to use whatever method it is she does to prove it.]
no subject
[She seems calm enough about it, just riding along. She's used to it by now.]
I could ask you to think of a number and guess it, but it seems to change depending on when I ask. All I can ask is that you trust me. It is not a prank.
[Rukia looks at Cloud, unsmiling. She definitely seems serious.]
no subject
[He quiets up as she looks at him. Her voice is a lot softer, a lot more serious than he's used to with her. This isn't the girl who was giving Zack the pettings of a lifetime.
Nodding he focuses on the fields ahead of them.]
Okay. I trust you.
no subject
[Now she smiles. He's said it before, but it still makes her happy to hear it.]
It goes without saying that I trust you as well. Every time I have asked you to accompany me, you have never let me down. You are a fine Hero.
[She thumps her sandals lightly into her mount's side to urge it along more quickly.]
We must cover as much ground as possible. The loop ends at approximately half past ten. If we manage to see the moon move past that position, we will know that there is a limit to the range of its effect. If not, I will return to the library at noon, and you will remember nothing of this.
no subject
I see. Does something happen when everything resets? Like a flash of light or something?
Whoops, pretend she said the 80th loop, not the 70th
[Or if it is, she gets zapped back too fast for her to notice what it is.]
Every time, I'm back in the library, holding a cheese roll in my teeth, unable to stop my books from dropping. I'm very...
[Her teeth clench.]
Very...tired of cheese rolls.
No worries
Ow...I'm sorry. And 80 loops...ten hours...wow...
[Furrowing his brow he snapped Zack's reins and spurred the bird to run faster.]
Come on, we have to find some way to help you all.
[He considers himself lucky he's not stuck in the same situation but for all he knows he might be anyway and just forgetting. It's not a thought he wants to dwell on.]
no subject
Thank you. I won't easily forget all you've done to help.
