[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.]

"If you can give me a few minutes I can probably get up the tower. Do you have a cell phone? If we exchange numbers I can text you what I find."

"A couple of minutes? That should be doable. Where do you want me?" She rattles off her phone number to him.

"Try to get that guy distracted," Ez said, punching in her cell phone number. He send her a text to verify, and turned down his phone."

"There are some stairs over there, I'm gonna try to slip into them. Shouldn't be too hard."

Luci nodded slightly, making her way toward the guard he mentioned. She just had to talk to him for a few minutes, right? If she didn't see Ez actually go up the stairs, she wasn't doing anything inherently bad. Wasn't that how that worked?

After maybe 10 minutes, Luci received a text from Ez.

"I'm in. Sound is fainter. Going to look around a bit."

Another 20 minutes later, and Ez appeared suddenly behind Luci.

"Phew, that was interesting. So I found something weird, but I don't really want to discuss it here. Let's head out, is there a place we can be away from prying eyes? We can use my place if we need to."

As Ez walks up behind, Luci smiles up at the security guard. "Thanks again for your help. And thanks for the tip, I'll have to try that place next time I'm out here!" Waving, she walked back toward the other blond.

"Something weird? Like what? Hmm, what time is it?" Looking down at her watch, she makes a bit of a face, chewing on her inside of her lip. "Mm. I need to make a phone call first to check in. I'll be right back."

Stopping at the entrance outside, Luci pulled out her cellphone, looking at it. If she called and explained the situation--or at least as much as she was willing to divulge--she wouldn't have much leeway. Whatever Ez found in the towers, he obviously didn't want to discuss it there, and the curiosity was eating at her. She would need more time.

going to rachel's to study for test. be home late. will call when i get there.


She sat with her thumb hovering over the send button. She had gotten away with a bit of a white lie as far as training sessions went, but this ate at her a little bit; there was no truth to this statement. Still, it was important...

Send.

Ez waited patiently all the while, leaning up against a nearby wall.

Once done, she walked back over, slipping her phone in the pocket of her blazer. "Sorry about the wait. My place is no good, unfortunately. I should have a bit of time, though."

"All right. We should be good at my place then. C'mon, let's go.
