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

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.]

[It's natural for her to not be recognized. Miranda generally kept her affairs to herself, even from the rest of the people that could access the numbernet. She wasn't going to stop calling it that.

Still, someone racing past at that speed could only mean one thing.]


...You must be from the club.

[If he'd been at the Labor Day party, Suzaku might have noticed her tanning, and that seemed to have actually worked. Either way, this guy was no good to her panicked... although how much good remained to be seen.]

[Suzaku turned around to face her, absently picking a twig out of his hair. Rushing probably hadn't been necessary, but he really hated wasting time]

Guess you must be too.

[After all, no one else would know to call their strange involuntary group that. For his part, he didn't use the term. Somehow it seemed inappropriate, but it was an easy identifier and functioned well enough]

You here about those things?

[He nodded in the direction of the towers, fairly sure nothing else worthy of note was in the area]

[Well, she had no better name for it. The label was concise and serviceable.]

In a way. I already have a pretty good amount of information but there's some things you have to see for yourself.

[She wouldn't know of any other nice landmarks. A few months' veteran of Locke she may be now, but she still doesn't know downtown very well.]

[personal profile] ex_elude798 2013-10-02 05:34 am (UTC)(link)
I was thinking along those lines as well.

[Even if the buzzing became less tolerable the closer he got to it. Leaving the towers alone after what he'd seen and heard on the network simply wasn't going to happen]
vanisland: (disdain)

[personal profile] vanisland 2013-10-02 05:50 am (UTC)(link)
[It was that noise she wanted to investigate.]

You have a recording device with you?

[His expression suggests he finds the question odd, but he pulls out his phone anyhow. It's a fairly high-end model, with some obvious modifications]

Just this. Gets decent quality video.

[Because he assumes she means that sort of recording]
vanisland: (my slaves)

[personal profile] vanisland 2013-10-02 05:56 am (UTC)(link)
Wrong kind of recording, unless you have an app for voice only.

[Recording video is just going to take up extra RAM. A venture like this requires efficiency.]

[personal profile] ex_elude798 2013-10-02 05:59 am (UTC)(link)
Probably do, seems basic enough.

[He shrugs, toggling through menus on his phone until he finds it. Apparently his phone can do a whole slew of things he'd previously considered utterly useless]
vanisland: (not half bad)

[personal profile] vanisland 2013-10-02 06:12 am (UTC)(link)
All right. Let's find someplace quiet when we get there.

[It's all about perspective. Although she still needs to find out what perspective to use for certain things in her life.]

[personal profile] ex_elude798 2013-10-02 06:16 am (UTC)(link)
[Suzaku's still for a moment, apparently having not realized this had become a joint venture. Social skills; he has so very few.

But he shrugs and turns toward the towers. He's been telling people to work together for the sake of safety all along, he might as well do it himself]


Shouldn't be difficult. Don't think it's usually a popular destination.
vanisland: (poznerio)

[personal profile] vanisland 2013-10-02 06:19 am (UTC)(link)
[Neither does she. Oops.]

Even better.

[personal profile] ex_elude798 2013-10-02 06:21 am (UTC)(link)
Entrance is this way.

[He just assumes that he should start walking, so he does, pocketing his phone for the time being]

Think it's gotten louder, that noise.
vanisland: (Default)

[personal profile] vanisland 2013-10-02 06:43 am (UTC)(link)
That was to be expected.

[Seriously, how do you not know that already. And yes she also starts walking.]

[personal profile] ex_elude798 2013-10-02 06:48 am (UTC)(link)
Maybe so.

[The other day it sounded quieter, at least he thinks it did. But he doesn't consider it worth commenting on further. Instead, he continues toward the entryway.

Once they get there, he opens the door and waits. Ladies first, he knows that one]
vanisland: (Default)

[personal profile] vanisland 2013-10-03 04:51 am (UTC)(link)
[She briefly considers making a jab along the lines of "what, you don't think I can open a door or something?" but elects not to. She might have worse volume control now that the sound might drown out whispers.]

[ooc: the modteam confirmed the noise can't be recorded]

[personal profile] ex_elude798 2013-10-03 06:44 am (UTC)(link)
[Suzaku waits for her to step inside the building before following. He glances around, less than pleased to see the number of people around. What was the attraction for people who seemed oblivious to what was going on?

Something he probably couldn't understand]


Hm.

[After a few moments, he spots an area where people aren't milling about]

No one over there.

[ooc: Ahh, duly noted. Thanks for the heads-up]

[personal profile] vanisland 2013-10-06 11:24 pm (UTC)(link)
[This is a bit more people than she'd expected based on that comment, yes. This building is not a record-setter by any means... why?

She just nods and starts walking to the location specified.]

[personal profile] ex_elude798 2013-10-08 04:59 am (UTC)(link)
[Suzaku walks to the spot alongside her, and then tugs his phone back out of his pocket]

Let's see...

[Time to poke through menus again]

Why do you want to record this, anyhow?
vanisland: (a song from the heart)

[personal profile] vanisland 2013-10-24 04:09 am (UTC)(link)
Hidden messages, any pattern really. Even a very small piece of information would be useful.

[personal profile] ex_elude798 2013-10-26 06:02 am (UTC)(link)
Worth a shot.

[Anything does beat nothing. Now he simply has to hope it actually works.

And so he hits the button to start recording]
