[General Log] Tuning Towers, Sept. 22 onward.

[theearth]

Who: Any and all!
Where: The site of Tuning Towers (and/or en route accordingly), at the heart of the business district in Locke City's downtown.
When: September 22nd and onward.
What: Following that mysterious buzzing sound to its strongest point! Perhaps you made plans with numbered associates for a trip downtown, or perhaps you went a-wandering alone to follow the noise yourself - surely you'll hardly be the only one.



[Tuning Towers, the third-largest building in the United States and Locke City's most prominent feature, from a tourist perspective in one sense and quite literally by another - look up and marvel, if you will, should you not be a bit too distracted by the circumstances.

Even if you needed to focus to tune into the buzzing in your brain at the start of whatever trip you took, you'll find that by the time you come close enough to the tower to feel a rising sensation of tremors beneath your feet - unnoticed, as far as one can tell, by the crowds, which almost never lack presence around the building - you'll be able to hear it very easily without even trying. It isn't terribly intrusive in the first couple of days after the return of the lights in the sky. As September moves on and into October, however, the intensity will grow all the more overbearing.

It is, indeed, even worse if you enter the building - only the ground floor is accessible to the unauthorized by the tower's maintenance and management or personnel of the companies making use of it. Apart from that, among the indoor crowds, you'll find nothing unusual on the ground floor - and if you'll find that the buzzing loses its strength the higher you go if you take a trip up to one of the observation floors.]

Growing worse the closer we come to those it seems.

[She casts her gaze in the direction of the building. This close up, she finally seems to realize what she's looking at - a huge tuning fork. Why it just now strikes her she isn't sure but she glances back to Regina, expression tight.]

Though it's almost frightening to consider going closer, isn't it.

[acequeen]

[As Regina lifts her head up to gaze upon the tall, fork-like structure, her frown tightens up, eyes narrowed at it with her expression just as tight as Audrey's.]

... I'm not afraid of some building.

[She says with conviction, despite how unsure she feels on the inside, not towards the structure itself obviously, but what might ensue if she steps foot in it. Still, a little peek can't hurt, would it?]

[searchforpeace]

[Audrey's tone takes on just the faintest tinge of amusement. It's scant and quiet, more a breath of it and in no way true enjoyment. The uncertainty gently seeps off of Regina in the same way most people's emotions seem to for her.]

Then you're stronger than myself.

[Still... she's as curious as the other woman seems to be and says as much aloud.]

I can't leave without looking though. It's almost like it's drawing us here anyhow, whatever this sensation is.

[acequeen]

Maybe.

[It's a barely audible response, though, meant only for her own ears to go along with the wry smile on her lips. Subconsciously, Regina reaches for something around her neck, hidden under the jacket that she's wearing and tugs on the strap a little.]

Then we should give it a look. What's the worst thing it could happen?

[Other than the potential idea of it being a trap, but she likes to think she can handle those.]

[searchforpeace]

[Audrey's voice rises in a brief mumble.]

A great many things.

[With that said though, the blonde begins to make her way forward.]

Still, we'll never know unless we look, yes?

[acequeen]

[Regina is about to add that it's truly a rhetorical question, but the need to get inside the building pushes the thought aside, and she follows Audrey with her hands in her pockets.]

Then let's go. I want to know exactly what we're dealing with here.

[searchforpeace]

Right.

[No use standing out here and discussing it anyhow, they may as well charge forward. Proceeding forward though doesn't mean the sensation of buzzing slackens any though.]

[acequeen]

[It definitely doesn't. In fact, as Regina carefully strides over to the door, she's quickly hit with the urge to clench her teeth, her shoulders gently vibrating, almost in tune to the buzzing, and her eyes widen ever so slightly. A second later, she glances warily at Audrey to see if the other person is feeling it, too.

Somehow, she also feels like her skin is vibrating goosebumps along the way. Very, very odd.]

Almost there...

[It's an idle thought that's pointlessly said out loud, but it's to pump herself up, as silly as it sounds. Her hand reaches for the door handle and tugs it outward, making sure said door is opened for Audrey to walk through.]

[searchforpeace]

[And pumping oneself up is desperately needed right now. The idea isn't quite as appealing once she nears the door and she feels sympathy for Regina's wide-eyed and wary glance.

Audrey takes in a deep breath though and strides through, expression far too determined for someone just walking into a building. The building itself inside isn't anything too unusual, at least from what the blonde can make out through the annoyance of that buzz.]
