[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 only a few inches of difference, so it's not that bad. Better short than tall, at least. Brooke's neck would get tired way too fast. If Rachel's talking voice is at any inappropriate level, Brooke can't tell, because they seem to be able to hear each other perfectly.

Her hand accidentally brushes against Rachel's while they're walking, and Brooke hides a blush through a muttered apology. Then, in a normal volume, or as normal as the super double secret tinnitus will let them have, she says, "They're a lot more impressive than I thought they would be." She glances over at Rachel, then at the ground. Ostensibly, she's talking about the towers, but she really means the tremors and buzzing. She obviously can't talk openly about things that normal people can't detect. "They really shake up the skyline."

She looks over at the accidental contact, murmuring assent. It's cool, Brooke. "It's hard to focus on anything else." Rachel caught on, thankfully. The charade shouldn't be that difficult.

"I'll say." Good thing they both know exactly what the other is talking about. An idea striking her, Brooke looks around as nonchalantly as she can, trying not to make it obvious that she's searching for security cameras.

If there are any, though, she can't find them. "Wanna get a closer look?" she asks just as nonchalantly, tilting her head towards the Towers. She doesn't anticipate they'll be able to get inside, but maybe... well, maybe something cool will happen. Or something terrible. Who knows?
