[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.]

[Even with how distracted Miles is, he doesn't exactly miss someone running into him. He'll turn around and once he sees the files he'll bend over to help pick them up.]

My apologies, I was a bit distracted.

[ursoreckless]

Yeah, yeah. [luckily those files weren't full of loose pages otherwise he'd be chasing about now, yelling in his guttural Japanese and wishing he did carry a gun. but as he scrambled about for the last one, recognition hit.]

I guess I didn't expect to see you around here, Attorney Edgeworth.

[truthandlogic]

Why would it be so strange? One of the restaurants in the Tuning Towers happens to be a favorite of mine. [Definitely not the full reason, especially not explaining why he's actually dressed more like a normal person and actually quite casual for him, but it is a public place, after all.

He hands Shou back the files he'd picked up.]

[ursoreckless]

I thought that you cooked your own food.

[he half-bows in thanks, stuffing the files into his bag and securing them in place before sighing and rubbing the side of his jaw. the noise was the worse here, though it wasn't as bad as it was into the Towers themselves. it was still enough to give him a low-level headache.]

[truthandlogic]

Not always, I came here just earlier this week, in fact. It was a rather... interesting experience.

[The way he's speaking, it wouldn't be out there to infer that he's speaking more of having investigated this place already and the interesting experience is an echo or two.]

[ursoreckless]

Yeah? Do they have a new chef?

[so, he wasn't the only person hearing the noise this close to the Towers. Shou had been avoiding the network for the past couple of days, especially since his latest girlfriend has been interesting, but now... well, he was going to have to look things up.]

Mebbe I'll tag along... If you don't mind the company.

[truthandlogic]

They changed the music being played... so to speak.

[Miles frowns though, he would have preferred to not risk being around another person because he was enough of a burden to Karl previously and there's a good chance that will happen again.]

I don't mind the company if you don't mind that I am not a good dinner conversationalist.

[ursoreckless]

So no classical piano? That's a big step for them.

[then they both can be burdens since Shou's convinced that he's just as useless despite his weird reflexes.]

I can talk enough for the both of us.

[truthandlogic]

I rather like classical piano.

[Oh, weird reflexes may well come in handy. It's better than being perfectly normal and about the strangest thing being getting a weird statue or figurine.]

I would only hope you won't talk to yourself, some might think badly of you.

[ursoreckless]

So do I. It's good practice, especially if you go into the more obscure works by Russian composers.

[shou can cause a scene to let perfectly normal guy get away then since he can at least dodge things.]

You can always nod or I can babble in Japanese.

[truthandlogic]

That's fine. [Assuming that they even get that far.] I should also warn that the last time I was here there was a bit of a... mishap. Suspected to be an allergy I wasn't aware of, though I am not positive on that yet.

[Hopefully Shou understands the meaning there and that the "allergy" was an echo with a severe reaction and he's needing to investigate that more even if it does mean drawing attention to himself.]

[ursoreckless]

Sneaky allergies are the worst. [so he had an echo or something while in the place? Shou got what he was saying and would keep an eye out.]

I'll give you a hand if you need to get out of here without too much fuss.

[truthandlogic]

[Like everyone else did, of course he just lucked out and echoed back a weird phobia and a nightmare.]

It is appreciated even if I do wish to not trouble you. I merely wish to know the exact cause so I can prevent such a reaction from occurring again. Shall we go inside then and find out?

[ursoreckless]

[well at least he hasn't gotten a weird fashion make over. yet.]

It's no trouble. I mean, shouldn't we help each other out from time to time? It would make office politics so much easier to deal with down the road. [and he gives a slight bow like a properly brought up young man letting a senior proceed him.] Of course. After you.
