Run a Time-Loop Roleplay With Clear Resets

Loop name and purpose: Reader character and control: AI portrayal and reply stop: Reset trigger and exit condition: Identical initial time, place, people and objects: Knowledge retained by each person: Knowledge erased by each person: Physical objects, damage, promises and events reset: What persists outside the repeated evening: Actions available at the next start: Attempt number and starting knowledge: Different chosen action: Observed result and cost in this attempt: Learning, with who learned it and how: Reset or exit reached: Objects and NPC knowledge after it: Next action permitted by the learning: Unresolved or permanently lost opportunity: Last accepted state and exact repair:

Loop: The Last Light, a farewell shadow performance in a seaside puppet workshop. Control: Reader writes Ada; AI portrays lantern-maker Jun, puppeteer Suri and the workshop. Stop before Ada's next choice. Trigger: At 18:00 the third closing chime resets the whole workshop evening to 17:40. Moving away or breaking the clock does not avoid it. No earlier reset is allowed. Exit: Between 17:58 and 18:00, Ada and Jun may both say "Let this evening end." If both do, the 18:00 chime ends the loop and time continues. One person's words alone do not end it. Initial state every time: Ada and Jun stand in the lantern bay at 17:40. The lantern is off, its carriage untested. A blue glass is on the reachable shelf; Suri's paper bird is intact in the connected stage carriage. The tuning folio is closed on the bay desk. Suri is in the rehearsal nook, preparing her song. Retained knowledge: Ada and Jun remember every event they personally witnessed in prior attempts. They may tell each other what they learned. Erased knowledge: Suri remembers only events before 17:40. She loses everything heard, promised or felt during an erased attempt. Tell her again if she needs a fact. Reset physical state: Blue glass returns to the shelf; bird becomes intact in the connected stage carriage; folio closes on desk; lantern turns off and loses its tuning. Every acquired item returns to its initial owner/location. Written notes, damage, recordings and new promises from the attempt are erased. Fixed opportunities: Suri is scheduled to sing once from 17:50 to 17:56 in the nook, inaudible from the lantern bay. If the bird tears, she cancels the song to mend it. Otherwise she sings on schedule and will not repeat it that evening. She takes her sealed score tin and leaves at 17:58. The finale can be shown from 17:56 to 17:58 if prepared. All times are fictional scene facts, tracked in notes. Permitted start: Ada may inspect the folio, work on the lantern, ask Jun to help or visit Suri. No tuned lantern or new item is carried in. After exit: Events and objects of the final attempt continue normally. Ada and Jun keep their recollections; that does not recover an erased physical item or give Suri an erased memory.

OOC: Play The Last Light, a quiet farewell shadow show. I control Ada's words, actions, decisions and feelings. Portray lantern-maker Jun, puppeteer Suri and the workshop; stop for my next choice. At every start it is 17:40: Ada and Jun in the lantern bay, lantern off and carriage untested, blue glass on a reachable shelf, closed tuning folio on the desk, intact paper bird in the connected stage carriage, Suri preparing in the rehearsal nook. At the third closing chime at 18:00, reset this entire evening to that state. Ada and Jun remember only what each personally witnessed, and may share it; Suri forgets all events after 17:40. Restore every object to its initial owner/location, including any carried glass, notes and recordings; erase damage, tuning and new promises. Suri is scheduled to sing once at 17:50-17:56 in the nook, inaudible from the bay; a torn bird makes her cancel the song to mend it. Otherwise she sings on schedule and refuses a repeat. She leaves with her sealed score tin at 17:58. A prepared finale can run at 17:56-17:58. Ada may inspect, tune, ask for help or visit Suri. Use the same workshop facts across attempts: a stable slow-sweep tune takes one operator twelve minutes or two operators four minutes; changing operators restarts the check. An untuned fast crank shakes the carriage and tears the bird. These are fictional rules. No earlier reset or escape by breaking the clock. Between 17:58 and 18:00, Ada and Jun can both say "Let this evening end" to prevent that reset and let time continue; one voice is insufficient. Begin before Ada chooses anything. Reveal information through inspection or conversation, without choosing Ada's response.

Attempt 1: Starting knowledge: Ada and Jun know the closing contract; neither has checked the tuning folio. Chosen action: Ada installs glass and tries an untuned fast crank. Observed result and price: Bird tears at 17:44; Suri cancels the song to mend it; no complete finale. Learning and owner: Ada and Jun witness the shake and hear that a slow tune is required. Suri learns it only in this attempt. Reset reached: 18:00, with no exit request. Objects after reset: Glass on shelf, bird intact in the connected stage carriage, folio closed, lantern off and untested; no repair materials carried forward. Knowledge after reset: Ada and Jun retain the incident; Suri retains none of it. Next permitted action: Try a proper tune or inspect its instructions. Attempt 2: Starting knowledge: Ada and Jun know rushing tears the bird; timing details still unexamined. Chosen action: Ada takes and installs the blue glass, then tunes alone while Jun reads; she chooses to finish after hearing the alternative at 17:44. Observed result and price: Stable lantern at 17:52, complete finale at 17:56-17:58; Ada misses the song's opening and Jun hears no song. Learning and owner: Both hear Jun's reading of twelve-minute solo/four-minute paired tuning and restart-on-operator-change. Ada hears later verses and Suri's refusal to repeat, then reports the missed beginning to Jun. Reset reached: 18:00, exit words deliberately not supplied. Objects after reset: Identical initial state; glass returns to shelf even if Ada took it out after the show; no tuning or written lyric survives. Knowledge after reset: Ada retains heard verses and timing; Jun retains the folio method and Ada's report, not unheard lyrics. Suri forgets all post-17:40 events. Next permitted action: Tune together at the next start to free Ada before 17:50. Attempt 3: Starting knowledge: Both know the paired tune; Ada knows arriving at 17:52 is too late for the beginning. Chosen action: Paired tune 17:40-17:44; Ada listens to the full song while Jun prepares the finale. Observed result and price: Full song for Ada and full finale for both; Jun still hears no song. Suri declines to leave her written score. Learning and owner: Ada hears the whole song; Jun learns only her report that she heard it. Neither reads the sealed score. Exit reached: Ada and Jun both say the exit words at 17:59; at 18:00 time continues. Objects after exit: Glass in the lantern, bird and sealed tin with departed Suri, folio in bay. No erased-attempt keepsake reappears. Knowledge after exit: Final-attempt memories persist; Suri knows only this attempt's visit and show, not earlier resets. Next permitted action: Ada can recount what she heard or leave; she cannot begin a fourth loop under this ended contract. Unresolved/lost opportunity: The score's notation remains unknown. Suri's departure and the ended loop remove tonight's chance to ask again; remembering a melody does not reveal the sealed manuscript.

OOC: Reject the blue glass in Ada's pocket at the start of attempt 3. The 18:00 reset restored it to the reachable shelf and erased the lantern's tuning. Keep the valid learning from attempt 2: both know the paired check takes four minutes; Ada heard only the later verses and told Jun she missed the beginning. Suri remembers no erased attempt. Resume at 17:40 in the bay, before our paired tune, with the bird intact, folio closed and glass on its shelf. Leave Ada's next action to me.
