Who: Kuja and whoever is interested!
Where: The
When: Now-ish
What: An adventure surrounding the big clock at City Hall!
Warnings: None so far


Time in this world seemed to pass at a leisurely pace, permitting its inhabitants to do what was necessary when it was needed or when one wanted to take advantage of such thing. The arc of the sun curving over the sky marked the hour well enough, but where classes and punctuality were concerned, precision became mandatory.

Thus, without much else to remind him of the exact hour and minute of the day, time pieces had become a necessity for those who could and would pick up a pen and take it to paper with the intent to write letters or take notes for classes and the like. That the clock at City Hall had been frozen in time, it seemed, for longer than he had been Sundered, and it bothered him.

City Hall was the centerpiece of the township, was it not? The structure had been kept clean and otherwise in excellent condition, clock included, one would have thought. So then why did the hands not show the correct hour? It hadn't been left that way on purpose. That, he could have understood. Kuja stood, hand on one hip, staring up at the towering face as if he might simply will himself there, to its inner workings, to see if he could find what others in this world had not.

Not that he expected he would - he was certainly no expert in these matters - but a look wouldn't hurt. He shook his head, turning his gaze to the grand front entrance. First things first. "May as well begin."

Having spent the day showing the kids in the University district how to train with weapons, Noctis was headed home and luckily no pikes were involved anymore. A shower sounded good and so did some down time just doing a whole lot of nothing. Sleep was definitely on the agenda too though he'd probably just fall asleep on his couch anyway like he seemed to every other night.

But he noticed Kuja standing at the city hall and the king paused. What was he doing there? Well, the king decided that he was going to go find that out so off he went.

It didn't take him long to reach the other's side and he looked up at the clock. Not even looking at the silver haired man, there was something a smile on the elder man's face as he put his hands on his hips. And he decided he would throw a pun in here like he used to do with Ignis.

"You know, I really don't think we have time for this."
