[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.]

September 28 | Arthur Curry and open to whoever wants in on this trainwreck

It hadn't taken long for Arthur to notice that buzzing after returning to town after leaving to celebrate Granny Curry's 100th Birthday Extravaganza. Skimming the network let him know where it was coming from, and so he decided he'd have to be subtle in his own investigations. After all, a school bus driver didn't have much cause to go over there without the benefit of a field trip.

So Arthur decided to go in disguise. He'd dressed as a tourist, complete with horrible loud Hawaiian print shirt (that he was actually quite fond of), a map, a giant camera hanging around his neck (maybe he'd get some pictures of the place without looking like a spy?), and a Swedish to English dictionary. The dictionary was, he thought, the best part of the disguise. He'd pretend not to speak much, if any, English if someone tried to give him any trouble. The plan was flawless.

Sure, he couldn't actually speak a lick of Swedish, but hey, he'd seen the Muppet Show. He could fake it, right?
