All else equal, a winning move would stay a winning move... until and unless you changed the rules. Reg stood from his desk chair, walking to the fireplace. There was a brief moment as he walked from the travel room into the council chamber itself.

Author's Note: The idea for a Groundhog Day-style time loop centered on the Chuunin Exam originates with Perfect Lionheart's story "Chuunin Exam Day" (at least, that's the first place I'd ever seen the idea).

The core, on the other hand - the two alien races and their demands - is drama out of something and would do well with some elaboration. For one thing, while the Babyeaters are pretty well established (and have some historic analog in the Holocaust, as mentioned in the story itself), the Superhappies look much more muddled to me.

My uncle… I was guessing it was my uncle, had parked the car at the entrance of the driveway to force everyone else to find a place to park. I looked down the length of the street.
