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 blinks up at him. Is that what she's getting wrong? Is she trying too hard to impress her own emotional tactics on him? Rukia knows she's not the type to talk about what's bothering her. She supposes it's possible that what's bothering him doesn't exist anywhere outside of her own mind and assumptions. But still... How will she know when there's something causing him trouble? No one is completely carefree, and he's so tight-lipped about the past that she can't help thinking there really is something buried in his past that's giving him trouble today.]

[But he's asking her to let it drop either way. Begrudgingly, she does so, as she doesn't have any real alternatives.]


Would you tell me if there were something bothering you?

[She'll just ask it directly then. The expression on his face is a little more reassuring. If he could at least give her this, she wouldn't have to fret any further.]

[ Yuri was a lot more complicated than he led on so she was right on that. The tactic didn't work on someone who was well aware of many things in his life. He was always aware of the misfortune and fortune that he brought to others and himself, though his shitty luck never seemed to have changed since he found himself here, but there were people that made things a bit better for him to deal with. Yuri was not the type to share his issues or personal matters with anyone. He often kept it to himself.

Flynn was one of the few that he was pretty sure he confided to in regards to those problems but Flynn had always been with him since they were young. They strangely understood each other to some extent, even if it meant punching and beating each other up to make that point. ]


Probably not.I don't like getting all mushy with people about my feelings.

[ He shrugged. Aka, he's close to dropping this conversation too. ]

You shouldn't worry too much about my well being shorty. I get by.

[Rukia frowns, glowering at him. Then she relents with a sigh.]

At least you're honest about it.

[It's not like she's much better. After so many years of feeling isolated and alone, it's difficult for her to open up to other people about the things that bother her. So in a sense, she can understand. And since he answered so truthfully, she knows a little more how to react with him. When he calls her shorty again, she jabs a finger into his side. Stop that.]

Anyway, it's not a question of strength. I know you're capable of taking care of yourself. Just know that you may call on me for assistance, whenever you wish. I would like to return the friendship and help you've given to me.

[ He's not sorry for what he's saying at all really. ]

Honest is what I do best, Shorty.

[ He replied as they resumed walking. Yuri didn't find it isolating or lonely to not tell people about his problems. Really, he already had, but the person wasn't around for him to complain to right now. Yuri would just keep most things to himself until the time was right. He didn't need to involve people he hardly knew into his own personal problems. ]

Naturally. I'll let you know if there's anything I need. How's that sound?

That's sufficient.

[She smiles. The nickname still annoys her, but she's starting to pick up a little bit of affection. As long as that's there, she can't get too angry.]
