"Am I just imaginin' things, or is time... repeating?"

"Yes. You're not imagining things."

"Am I just imaginin' things, or is time... OK, first we doom an inncoent and now this? Come on, universe!"

"Deep breaths, Anya." Eki is becoming more stressed with every loop. "I'm... trying my best not to panic right now. But the desire to do so is overwhelming..."

"We should do something about it!"

"That's... uh... obvious, but it's the logical thing to do."

Time loops are the worse.This is an understatement.

OH GODS MAKE THIS STOP PLEASE

1. Using the power of OBSERVATION, Eki will jot down every little thing that happens during the time loop in their notes, making sure to write down the exact time they occur. Eki and Anya will then go around town and tell people when future events will happen. Things that would be too hard to predict without a time loop.
   "A squirrel will fall off that tree in one minute and twenty-seven seconds.
   "Did ya know that your stove will catch on fire in seven seconds? Might want to stop greasin' it if I were you!"
   Once these events occur, hopefully people will get a sense of deja vu and realize they're in a time loop.
   
   
2. It's time to divide and conquer. Eki and Anya will grab a map from the museum, and with a pen, divide it into several numbered areas. They'll assign each person a number and have them search the corresponding area for whatever artifact's causing this. While everyone else is searching on the ground, Eki and Anya will use their skysails to look from above and cover a broader area. They'll float back down periodically to assist the search teams.
   
   
3. Simple. Eki will just mark their notes on the time loop with a bookmark "borrowed" from Grunkle Ed, and stow away their notebook in their bag. Next time they take notes, they'll see the bookmark and turn to their observations on whatever in the Vortex they just experienced, but can't remember.
