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!

Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

[She tilted her head slightly, it must have been something big if she was in a sense grounded.]

What did you do?

[Yuffie tenses at the question, her shoulders knotting as if to give away the depth of her guilt. She doesn’t really want to tell Bloom considering the girls standing within the city police but she’d most likely find out anyway.

With her eyes case towards the ground and a slight pout she confessed.]

I looked at a lot of peoples files… without asking first…

[Yugi already did a great job of making Yuffie feel bad about it and then Mooshoo came in with the kill. It’s been rather awful ever since.]

[Ah, those files. Bloom never even went to get hers, but then again she didn't seem to find what those moogles read and she knew she had heard something about her past of being a dark fairy. But thankfully she explained that one easily enough.]

I can see why your moogle reacted that way, but so long as you learnt your lesson that's okay.

[Saying that Yuffie has learned her lesson is a bit of a stretch but she has come to at least ask people first.]

I didn't read yours if you are wondering. Though if you want me to I'd be game.

[Just putting it out there.]

I wasn't actually going to ask you if you had or not.

[She didn't seem to care all that much except for one part of her history, that of when she became Dark Bloom. That was a time she would not like ever to be brought up.]

[Whoops.]

You weren't?

[Yuffie cringes.]

I mean I didn't but everyone usually asks that.

I guess I'm one of those who just doesn't.

[She looked around slightly, she was starting to wonder if she should have maybe train a bit herself so she doesn't get rusty any time soon.]

But right now I think I am going to train.

You are?

[Yuffie’s head tilts to the side.]

In what?

[She isn’t sure what skills Bloom has and honestly the girl doesn’t look like much of a fighter. At least from what Yuffie has seen.]

I guess I need to get comfortable with certain jobs so I think I'll train with those.

[Pirate was a whole new thing for her and something she knew she needed to try and use more.]

[Yuffie frowns.]

Yeah, I meant what jobs. It's not like I can just assume what you've got equipped.

[She's mostly trying to see if it's something she can help with. Yuffie is used to fighting and she's used to fighting using not the kindest of methods.]

Pirate mostly, it's the only one I've not really got a hang of compared to the others.

[The rest she could do easily.]

[Yuffie laughs, her palm presses against her stomach as if it might contain the shockwaves caused by the giggles moving through her. Bloom, the police officer, wants to become a pirate! This it just too funny and it takes the young princes more than a few minutes to compose herself.]

If that’s all I can help you, I’ve mastered the Job and it’s a type of fighting I’m used to.

[Piracy involves a fair about of cheating.]

[Considering Bloom wouldn't use the job for things like that, only fighting.]

I see. I guess you must have a fair number of jobs right now.

I do and it's because I'm awesome.

[Yuffie grins before walking over to the weapons rack.]

Preference of pointy implement?

I don't think being awesome has anything to do with it. At least I don't think so.

[Not that she understood the system much anyway or why they need it in the first place for those who did have powers before.]

[Yuffie laughs.]

Probably not, it just gives me an edge.

[Pirates are able to use more than a few types of weapons so Yuffie holds up a gun and a small ax.]

For you. Please don't actually shot me. Just say bang.

[She gets a lot of threats to be shot and she doesn't want to actually deal with that.]

...I really wasn't going to aim at you. Though I guess I don't actually need to fire, just improve my aim or figure out how to better aim. And of course the recoil part of the gun.

[She knows that can be a thing and she didn't want to hurt herself trying.]

I actually wonder if we have a shooting range or something.

We do.

[Yuffie tosses her the gun and then pockets some ammo.]

I've been working on gunner for a bit and also, that's a 22mm handgun. There is almost no recoil but because you're new I'd hold it with two hands.

[She waves at Bloom to follow her before moving around to a different part of the training field.]

[She started to walk quietly. Her gun was safely in the holster for the time being.]

Got it. [That seemed obvious when she thought about it.]

[Yuffie stops at a range that looks like it's been well used. She knows that Vincent comes here which is the only reason she knows this place exists at all.

The ninja then waves Bloom closer.]

Here we go. Stand with your feet shoulder length apart, both hands on gun like so, line up sights and then fire.

[Bloom firstly removed the gun placing it to the side while she got herself sorted. Her feet were shoulder width apart as she slowly got the gun and gripped it with both of her hands. Sure here she had time to do this, but she knew she need the practice With her gun firm and aimed she fired at the target, hitting it at the side and not on target.]

I figured I wouldn't get it right away.

[Yuffie doesn't comment, instead she steps up next to Bloom, her palms shifting the girls waist and then lightly tapping her front foot to make it shift forward. When that's done she square's her shoulders and then raises Blooms arm.]

Now aim.

[She'll find the position comfortable but demanding, the energy in her shot now able to focus while keeping the gun straight.]

[She was still a little confused as she noticed what Yuffie was doing. Why this way, what was different to what she had been doing sheer moments ago. Shaking her head slightly she pulled the trigger once more. This time the shot was better but not dead centre.]

Closer that time.

Just keep practicing and go back to that stance.

[There isn't much else to it.]

Once you can hit the center you can work on moving targets though the tick there is to turn a moving target to an unmoving target.

[She nodded slightly, she was trying her best as she did a couple more slowly she was starting to feel comfortable at doing that quickly.]

Okay... I think I can do moving targets now.
