[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.]

I... thought I'd already replied to this, I'm sorry!!

[personal profile] unimpressive 2013-12-14 03:18 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah, yeah! It doesn't look any different than usual, it's just...

[...Wait.] ...Do you feel that?
metalbent: official show art (= lady. say what now?)

NP!

[personal profile] metalbent 2013-12-22 07:32 pm (UTC)(link)
...Shaking, right...?
unimpressive: (cuando me levanta)

[personal profile] unimpressive 2013-12-30 06:12 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah... [A pause.] Yeah, that's it!

You... I don't know if we should stay where we are, come on.
metalbent: art credit unknown, please contact (- bandit. ready stance.)

[personal profile] metalbent 2014-01-24 10:15 am (UTC)(link)
Where are we going?

[ There's a pause as she speaks, because she's getting that empty feeling again...the feeling that always precedes something coming back. ]
unimpressive: (y nunca me confundo)

[personal profile] unimpressive 2014-01-24 08:38 pm (UTC)(link)
[He waits a moment before answering, forcing himself to relax as he does so. Whoooaaaa, okay, he is so not used to feeling tense, what is going on]

Closer to the tower? [A huff.] I don't know about this shaking, but we should still check out, huh?
metalbent: official comic art (- earth. let's not.)

[personal profile] metalbent 2014-01-25 07:32 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah, I mean...yeah.

[ That sounds a lot more confused and a lot less sure of herself than Sophie usually does. She looks a tad disoriented. ]

That works.

unimpressive: (he cruzao' 100 laberintos)

[personal profile] unimpressive 2014-01-28 10:25 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah...

[He's not far behind in that, still standing still. After a moment though, he shakes his head, then moves forward again.

Something's up with him, but he just can't seem to put his finger on it.]


Yeah, [a little firmer this time, though not by much.] The faster we get there, the better, huh? And we're practically there...

[Yet he can't quite remember getting so close anymore.]
metalbent: official show art (= lady. serious words.)

[personal profile] metalbent 2014-01-29 04:00 am (UTC)(link)
I think I can...

[ She doesn't quite finish the sentence, but she follows along, unable to quite believe what may be happening, here. ]

It's getting worse.
unimpressive: (cuando me levanta)

[personal profile] unimpressive 2014-02-08 08:27 am (UTC)(link)
[He takes a deep breath, nods, and actually remembers to speak afterward.]

It is. It's... [Another breath and they're there, they're really there, and that is definitely the same feeling he's gotten every time he's remembered something. Definitely.]

We're here. Do you feel something else, too? Not the ground, the...
metalbent: official show art (= seismic sense.)

[personal profile] metalbent 2014-02-09 01:31 pm (UTC)(link)
...Yeah...but it's more than that.

[ It's the echo, yes, but...she's... ]

...I think I can - see?

[ It's not the right way to say it, because that's not what it is, exactly.

But it's more than she's ever had before. ]
unimpressive: (cuando me levanta)

[personal profile] unimpressive 2014-02-13 08:06 pm (UTC)(link)
[Whatever's coming back, whatever it may be, it's not quite settling right in his head just yet, not quite coherent just yet, so he shakes his head, and focuses on Sophie's words here.]

You... You can see?! Your eyes?!
metalbent: official show art (- lady. dangerous bender.)

[personal profile] metalbent 2014-02-13 08:13 pm (UTC)(link)
Not my eyes, no.

[ That'd have her sitting down, hard. She wouldn't know how to process it, not that she knows how to process this... ]

I can...feel it. Where things are.
unimpressive: (yo no creo en la iglesia)

[personal profile] unimpressive 2014-02-17 08:54 am (UTC)(link)
What?!

[Maybe it's just his current state of mind, but it's not making any sense. It's not...

She can feel things?]


Like a bat or something?!

[Hardly the most tactful way to put it, but he's not exactly very good at that, even at the best of times.]
metalbent: official show art (= seismic sense.)

[personal profile] metalbent 2014-02-20 03:03 am (UTC)(link)
[ ...NOT TACTFUL AT ALL, but luckily Sophie has her mind on other things and wouldn't have minded anyway. ]

Uh...kind of. There's...vibrations in the ground, and I can...tell what they're hitting?

[ Why is this so hard to explain. ]
unimpressive: (y ver como las burbujas suben)

[personal profile] unimpressive 2014-02-22 11:06 pm (UTC)(link)
[HE'LL REMEMBER TO FEEL BAD ABOUT THAT... Later...

He breathes out a sigh, turning to look at her properly now.]


...Seriously? That's... That's so weird! So you, the other you, you could always see?!
metalbent: official comic art (- earth. wait what?)

[personal profile] metalbent 2014-02-27 06:57 am (UTC)(link)
Maybe? I can't...I don't remember about her, I just...can.

[ She sounds a little frustrated, there. ]
unimpressive: (puedo construir un cerebro)

[personal profile] unimpressive 2014-03-01 02:51 am (UTC)(link)
Okay, okay! It... It probably doesn't matter anyway! You've got it now, that's all. [AND IT'S PRETTY DAMN COOL, BUT--]

And... [--Wait.] You can tell where the towers are now, right?
metalbent: official comic art (Default)

[personal profile] metalbent 2014-03-01 03:06 pm (UTC)(link)
Well, yeah.

[ To demonstrate, she...points at them. She can point at stuff accurately now, SKILL LEVEL UP. ]
unimpressive: (y en la marejada)

[personal profile] unimpressive 2014-03-04 08:03 pm (UTC)(link)
[He laughs, a bit startled at that, but mostly pretty freakin' amazed.]

Whoa, you really can! Then, what are we waiting for if you can find it yourself now?!

metalbent: official comic art (+ fire. here's an idea.)

[personal profile] metalbent 2014-03-05 11:07 pm (UTC)(link)
[ ...OH, YEAH. She...

She's going to have to get used to this seeing-stuff stuff. ][ NICE SAVE, SOPHIE. ]
unimpressive: (la renta)

HOW HAS IT BEEN NEARLY 20 DAYS I'M SORRY...

[personal profile] unimpressive 2014-03-23 05:39 am (UTC)(link)
So we're going? [he asks, tone much lighter than before.]

I bet I'll still get there before you!
metalbent: official comic art (Default)

no worries! ...i screwed my html somehow...

[personal profile] metalbent 2014-03-23 11:10 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh, you're on, Peppy!

[ SHE WILL RUN THERE, EVEN. ]
unimpressive: (el tiempo no me mueve)

thank you!! and aww hahaha it happens to all of us...

[personal profile] unimpressive 2014-03-25 03:29 am (UTC)(link)
[He actually laughs now, definitely feeling much lighter than before. Definitely.]

Then you better just stop standing around! I'll get there before you even start moving!

[True to his word, he's setting off at a brisk walk, though he keeps his eyes on her.]
metalbent: official comic art (+ earth. SMIRK. covered eyes.)

[personal profile] metalbent 2014-03-31 01:16 pm (UTC)(link)
[ And she's racing ahead, sort of.

...Still has to pretend to be blind for the public, because of the cane, but. ]
unimpressive: (y dame la mano y vamos a darle)

[personal profile] unimpressive 2014-04-01 01:20 am (UTC)(link)
Whoa, whoa! You ran off before me!

[After a moment, he sets off after her, not really even paying attention to who may see them.

This is a totally normal sight and he'll hear no word otherwise.]
