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!

She was about to put another mouthful in, sure that the question would make it clear he was unwelcome. The chopsticks pause halfway to her mouth.

Goddamnit people here were so annoying! That had not been a rhetorical question! His answer really pissed her off, some people eat shit?! Then again, she'd sort of put herself in the position for that to come up with what she said to try to send him off. He took it to a different level though.

Fai receives an angry glare, "All food is good! Somewhere there's always someone going hungry, I'm sure they'd give anything to have a bite of what you consider shit!"

"And that is because they are hungry. I'm not saying all food is bad, it's just some people have preferences. What I don't eat someone else will, even here the food I don't eat or what we have left in the cafe, I've been giving to those who can't get food. It never goes to waste that way and it helps those that are in need." Because he wasn't sure what else he could do in those kinds of situations, especially since a lot of them were homeless because of the whole war. Besides it was something he knew his friends would do.

Instead of saying anything further, she takes a drawn out bite, slurping the noodles down while looking away slightly. When she talks again, one couldn't say she sounded friendly -- but the anger was gone.

"A cook, huh?" He'd probably have a lot to say about the perpetual junk food that her "diet" consisted of. "Must be fun working around food all the time."

"It's an interesting job, a fun one to when you can see the happy faces of people enjoying it or finding out what they like and what they don't like." He knew that much anyway and it did always make him smile when they enjoyed it, even now when those who no longer have homes to go to right now.

"Though I am always looking for more people to help me, even if they aren't employed." She seemed to have some idea about food and one that was different from her own after all.

"Heh." People just should be happy that they have food. "Do they make stupid faces when they don't like something?"

There's another bite of her noodles, this guy obviously hadn't taken the hint and left so she just had to endure him. Her chopsticks click together with her words, not the best with table manners. "Are you."

"No, sometimes people just keep how they feel hidden, which I have been known to pick up on." Most in part of the fact he kept a lot hidden during his life, but for now though he was just going to order something to go so while he waited he still had the time until the next time skip.

"I am. But I guess... Hearing what you have to say, I can actually understand it." It made him wonder how he managed to live where he did for god knows how long.

"So long as they ate it all. If you cook something and people waste it just because they don't like it -- you should kick their ass."

The noodles done for, Kyoko raises the brim of the bowl to her lips and starts sipping down the broth.

"I think some do, others don't but I use that for others things or at the currently moment to people who need it if people don't touch it at all." He didn't like people who were too picky, he had a few of those in his cafe from time to time, although lately that seemed to change.

He had been told he would have to wait a bit before it would be ready as he didn't mind at all, he was fine by waiting.
