melodiesoflife | 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!

[Yuna looks over at him curiously.]

Right now?

[She doesn't know if this is the time though they certainly have enough of it.]

[Bartz shrugs.]

Why not?

[A phrase that could sum up most of his life choices.]

[Yuna opens her mouth to protest but then promptly shuts it. She smiles at Bartz.]

Okay but you have to do it with me.

[Because it's more fun with partners.]

[He grins.]

Fine by me. Dancing's more fun with a partner anyway.

[Yuna's smile widens.]

Alright then, what dance should we start with.

[She peeks over her shoulder looking for a good, open, space that they might be able to easily move around in.]

[The park is nice and open. Bartz will gesture in that direction.]

How about a waltz? That'll be a good warm up.

[Yuna nods with a wide smile.]

Let's go then!

[She holds a hand out to Bartz. She isn't very great with the waltz but she knows the steps.]

[He grins and gives her a short bow before taking her hand.]

Shall we dance?

[He's not bad actually. He has an excellent sense of rhythm. But he starts it slow, keeping the initial steps simple.]

Yes!

[Yuna is happy that he saw fit to start slow. She falls instep with him, her eyes only occasionally glancing down. She's more used to dancing alone than with someone else.

It's easy to fall in step with him, her movement's matching his while her head quickly remembers the steps. She'll try her best to take cue's from the other hero but she might hesitate if she's caught unaware.]

[He keeps it slow and steady for a minute, just so she can get used to it.]

Not bad! How about this?

[He raises a hand, intending to twirl her around.]

[Yuna laughs softly as his hand raised in the air. She knows the moves and quickly spins before standing in front of Bartz once more.]

That was fun.

[It's exciting to be twirled around.]

[He winks.]

Glad you liked it. Wanna try to get a little fancier?

[Yuna's lisp curled into a wider smile.]

What did you have in mind?

[His own smile becomes a slightly mischievous smirk.]

Something like.... this!

[With that he moves his hands to her waist, lifts her up, twirls her around once and sets her back down.]

[Her surprise is evident when he lifts her, her hands holding onto his as if he might drop her. As her feet set against the ground she smiles, almost giddy at the feeling of being lifted.]

That was fun.

[Bartz chuckles.]

Dancing is always fun. Especially when you've got a good partner.

I think so too.

[And she plans to dance again now that the passion has been reawaken.]

Thank you for the dance.

No problem. It was fun.

[Bartz has been working hard to get this dancer job. He's definitely gonna enjoy it.]

I think I'll start working on a few new dances now that I have the time.

[Quite a lot of time, considering the situation.]

[Yuna laughs softly.]

That's probably a good idea. I'm not sure what to do with all this time.

You should just do whatever you want to. Whatever make you happy.

[Bartz takes a simple view of life.]

[There is nothing wrong with simple and Bartz's sentiments spark an idea inside of Yuna's thoughts.]

You're right. I'm so sorry Bartz there's someone I need to go talk to.

[She turns to walk about before stopping to run back and throw her arms around Bartz.]

Thank you!

[With that and a warm smile Yuna runs to find her cousin.]
