[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.]

McDonald's sometimes does catering to corporate conventions. In this case, they have a booth set up outside a wheat growers convention, for when the attendees get tired of reading and talking about wheat and wheat by-products. They're set up between the panda express and the subway.

Being the responsible young employee that he is, Sam has been one of those chosen to help man the booth for a change of scenery from home base. A nice chance to get to work more or less outside in these last few nice days before fall really gets down to business with the gloom and rain.

Unfortunately, the convention is held within a block of the Tuning Towers. Sam did his best to stay professionally friendly, but after a few hours the buzzing noise has given him a pounding headache. He's currently on break, a little ways from the booth, lying on a bench with one arm over his face and looking kind of ill.

Hope you don't mind a late tag

Youou has tried his best to keep away from the towers in spite of his curiosity, the headache he gets from the 'usual' bussing is already playing hell on his temper and he doesn't want to risk worsening it. But this time he doesn't have much of a choice than to be in the area and since he already has to put up with the additional pain he doesn't see any reason to not take a quick look around.

Which of course turns out to mostly be a complete waste of time, because he doesn't really know what to do once he finally arrives. On his way back, however, he catches sight of a young man lying on one of the benches looking a bit sick. That, combined with his knowledge of the damn buzzing, would be enough for him to walk up to check if the kid needs help. But in this case it's also helped by the fact that, unless he's mistaken - which he very well may be with this annoyance in his ears-, but the kid has slightly different aura to him. Which, of course could just be because he's ill, or it could be a numbers thing. Those things has a tendency to happen after all.

"Hey, are you okay?" He keeps his voice as soft as possible while still making himself heard. He doesn't want to worsen any possible headaches by being too loud.
