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!

Ramza sighed. He should have expected as much. But he know Yuffie would want an explanation for why he'd been so absent lately, and he did want to know what was going on in her life.

"Very well. I..." It was harder to voice that he thought, but he turned his eyes down to his boots and forced himself to say it aloud. "In Aqures Tosf, a swordsman stole my blade...and I met someone who died."

Both of the events were weighing heavily on his conscience, which only made him feel worse for valuing a sword when a life had been lost.

"It feels like we lost so much in the past, and we gained nothing from it. We were there, but we were not able to save anyone."

A lot of people died that day but Yuffie knew that that was how history was. If she could go back to Wutai she wouldn't have been able to change anything then either. Which was why she fought for the future that she wanted. She couldn't really blame him for being upset, not for the death of those people or from loosing his sword.

She knew how precious items could be.

"Okay. We can't change who died so tell me what happened to your sword." It was as simple as that. If her friend had a problem she'd try and fix it. She was sure she could get it back though it'd be 27 years older now. They just needed to find it.

Well, that was true. The sword was the problem that could be fixed. Even though it felt selfish, now, to be so concerned over it. He nodded to Yuffie.

"A ruffian was causing a scene at a weapon seller's stand, so I challenged him to a duel. We fought, but he cheated and stole my rapier." It was embarrassing to recount it, but he and Yuffie had been through enough together that he did not think she would hold it against him for anything other than affectionate teasing, at least.

"That is what happened to me. Now let us discuss what you have been up to, princess." Because he was not going to let her get away with not talking to him about it.

"Eh?"

Yuffie grinned almost hoping that Ramza wouldn't get back to that. "Okay, but you need to describe this cheater so I can find him." Though she knew that wouldn't distract him for long. With a heavy sigh Yuffie began to talk, letting her rant take her wherever it might go.

"Let's see, I got back. I decided to help at the training yard for those small and quick like me. Had a fight with Tifa, Vincent, MarKus, and a few others. Ran into Reno which was weird. Made up with Vincent currently avoiding Tifa." She didn't know if she should really go into details about her and MarKus. It was complicated and she didn't really like it.

She'd rather just not worry about it but then it just felt like she was giving up.

Ramza nodded. He'd give her the details of the thief later. It sounded like Yuffie needed his ear, not his manhunt for the swordsman.

"Do you want to tell me more about it?" he asked gently. "You do not have to...but I am always here to listen."
