[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.]

Are you sure? It's pretty weird.

[yeah see soren here isn't so excited about this whole taking the stairs to a higher level thing and is just going at, you know, a normal pace. so yeah he's going slower but is definitely following along.]

[eras]

I'm absolutely positively sure! You can't creep me out. But you're welcome to try, I guess!

[ wow soren what do you have against stairs. Aria hits the landing first and will wait, though she crosses her arms. ]

[mood2wiingiing]

I'm not sure I wanna take you up on that. Besides, it's less a really creepy and more of a wow that's not what eyes should look like kind of creepy.

[hey he just doesn't see what the excitement is about okay, they're just stairs! he's not super far behind though realistically, he's just going at normal speed instead of fast speed, so it doesn't take him too long to catch up again.]

[eras]

So it's the first physical one you got.

[ And now it's time to go out onto the observation platform. This should look cool, right? ]

I think I can handle it.

[mood2wiingiing]

Yeah, it is. And it's kinda weird and I'm trying to just pretend it didn't happen really. It's only kind of working. [and following on out there and okay yeah admittedly that is pretty cool. not that he says anything about it because that would be giving in. he's definitely liking the view though.]

[eras]

I'm kinda doing the same thing about certain things! Although I guess eventually there will come a point when that's not really viable it's just...

[ Shrugs. And she points out at the view. ] You know, even if this is a bust in terms of sense, we picked a good time for it. During the day, the lights aren't nearly as pretty. Or, you know, noticeable.

[mood2wiingiing]

...It is pretty nice. I guess. [yeah he can't really deny that okay, so he gives in.]

[eras]

And I didn't even bring a camera! I should have brought a camera. I didn't know we were going to a tourist trap, though.

[mood2wiingiing]

I'd say you could try a phone but it probably wouldn't turn out too well. I guess you'll have to just buy a postcard.

[eras]

And take a camera on every outing ever from now on!! ...Anyway, the buzzing is definitely less up here.

[ ...It reminds her, actually. ]

Soren. Did you get a weird feeling when we came in? The sound...it's kind of like it was down below. In the mines. And when we heard it there...

[mood2wiingiing]

...I didn't really think about it. Maybe?

Wait did that happen in the mine too?

[eras]

Yes! After we heard it, Marisa and I - she had some weird broom, and that was back when I got the, you know.

[ She wiggles her fingers, which clearly means...

...well okay that's not very clear, but she means psychic powers. ]

I wish there were a way to check!

[mood2wiingiing]

Well, maybe... Do I look any different? Then I'll check you over and then... I don't know how else to check. [it's an idea okay shush]

[eras]

I...no? I mean, the glasses, but we talked about that.

[ why are pulsechoes so hard to spot. ]

I dunno, like...spin around?

[mood2wiingiing]

[he feels kind of ridiculous but he spins anyway]

[eras]

[ well, there aren't wings or anything.

...aria sighs after a second. ]

Okay, I don't see anything. You're still you.

[mood2wiingiing]

Good.

Okay, your turn.

[eras]

[ she spins, feeling about equally stupid, here. ]

[mood2wiingiing]

[looking looking ok no not seeing anything]

...I don't see anything weird with you either. And I guess no memories or we'd know it so...

[eras]

So either it's something not physical or remembered or we are just being paranoid.

[ sigh. ]

I wish we had like. I don't know. Mood rings, except for pulsechos?

[mood2wiingiing]

That would be cool. Or like if we just suddenly knew what we got as soon as we got it?

[eras]

Okay, see, that would be useful!! I didn't even know about the, you know, until I was tired and it just happened.

I would like to have a word with whoever set this up.

...That said, I guess we may as well go back down. And hit the gift shop.

[mood2wiingiing]

Yeah, seriously. It's kind of really frustrating.

You sure you don't wanna check it out more? [he's done too he just doesn't want to be talked into another visit really. he's the best friend to have ok.]

[eras]

Well...I guess we can take a phone picture? Or maybe we can come back later for pictures. I am not sure I will be coming back again if this is the weird source, honestly.

[ Sometimes she shows flashes of good sense. Sometimes. ]

[mood2wiingiing]

You should take one then. And then gift shop and then let's go?
