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!

Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

Ever since the trip back to the past and him helping the moogle which turned out to be one of the betrayers, Fai has been wanting to help them more and more. So today he was there standing within the group of moogles, some of which were holding tiny little signs. Fai paused slightly as he could hear them speak.

"Maybe you could be a little louder? Would that help any? Maybe raise your signs if now?" Because apparently that was important.

Kaji is quite happy to see another of the heroes there, the two of them have run into each other enough times that Kaji can recognize him on sight. He smiles and raises a friendly hand. "I think they're getting quite good at this."

Glances at Fai with a smirk. "They have these in your world?" Demonstrations? Labor unions? All of the above?

He turned around, leaving them to chant the same thing over and over before shaking his head slightly. "No, this wasn't that common, if there was odds are I would of had to handle it or something." No instead he went around killing people, but he wasn't going to be open about that one anytime soon.

"People were loved and respected in my world, but that was so long ago for me now. It's werid to think about now. What about you?"

Hmmm. That's a pretty good question, actually. Kaji looks over the Moogles, and shakes his head a little. "Maybe in other parts of the world. Maybe before Second Impact. There were definitely a lot of people who should have organized like this. Whether or not they would?" Kaji shrugs and smiles. "Not always the Japanese way."

"In the aftermath of a disaster," Kaji waves a hand as if to indicate the buildings around them, "some people just feel lucky to still be alive. Don't want to make any more waves. It takes courage for the little guys to stand up and say 'Hey, things are still not okay.'"

"Well, even I have to admit things still aren't okay, but for these guys it's been that way for at least twenty eight years. I know because I had to help a moogle with deliveries while the rest were on strike back then. You would have thought they would of had more equal rights, but... things seem the same." He looked over to them slightly, it was quite a shame really, but he didn't even know how to help in that situation.

"It's so easy to overlook them, because they aren't human," Kaji says disappointedly. "Some people think that it's almost a charity, to let the moogles do work that no one else wants to do. But they don't realize just how powerful they are. And the way that the moogles live and get treated says a lot more about the humans in charge than the moogles, themselves." This much, Kaji understands all too well.

"Any info broker back at home would give their left arm for a network like this." Kaji shakes his head. "People in control of the information flow have a lot more power than people think."

"Isn't the world here full of other species though? Human is but one of the many, yet you never see them on strike." It just made it seem like they were treated much worse than the others, but Fai knew how powerful they could be, after all if they didn't have Mognet no one would be able to have anything delivered and everyone would be isolated.

"I know how we can help our own moogles, but one just hopes they figure out that moogles are doing an important job and are trying there best even thought one has left them."
