Who: Gilbert and Fox
Where: The Plaza
When: Early morning, April 25th
Status: Closed

[Fox was still unsure as to how exactly he got roped into this. Gilbert wasn't even being that insistent about it. Excitable, maybe. Perhaps he just had a longing for these kinds of things. His life had been pretty quiet in this city, and when it came down to it that was unusual. Nice, sometimes, but if he was being honest with himself, there was a lot that he was missing.

Since the hadn't exactly specified a meeting point, he just waited for the human to show up by the coral.]

I guess you're right...I'm just wondering if this place is still going to be deserted or not. It's one thing for a village to be here without people, but an entire city? Feels like a horror movie.

Yeah. Maybe it'll be full of zombies~ ahahah... [that would be pretty fun!]

Zombies...

Well, we won't find anything if we just stay here. Can you see anything that looks like what we might be after?

Nah, not from here. Best if we move into the city proper. [starts walking]

[Fox begins to follow after.]

So what exactly do you plan to do if we do find that source?

Stop it, of course. I mean, if it's just this place that's doing the dream cast whatever, then it shouldn't affect the old network we had. Probably. Theoretically.

...maybe.

Right. You make it all sound so straightforward.

It's pretty straightforward. Find communication tower, bust it up if it's working, check to see if the dream thingy is still being broadcasted. Simple.

Whatever you say. I guess our first problem is going to be finding the tower, which won't be easy to do from the streets in city itself. Maybe we should find higher ground?

Climb one of the buildings? Yeah, that should work.

[Fox sighs, later, once they have moved some distance into the city.]

I guess this place really is deserted...

Yeah, all we need is some tumbleweed, or a loud gust of wind to complete the isolation [Gilbert was a bit uneasy. Deserted cities put him on edge - it was a nation thing] Oh! Wait, I think I see a communication tower!

[Fox honestly couldn't decide which would be more unnerving, the city being deserted or the city being...full of people. Where did this stuff even come from?]

Really?

There, see? [Gilbert points at where a tall tower sits behind the building closest to them]

That doesn't look too far...

Especially if we jog. C'mon! I'll race ya! [And there he goooooooooooes~]

W-wh--

[....oh. Fox sighs, again. It's still too early for this. He picks up his pace enough to keep up, but doesn't have any intentions of trying to win.]

[Gilbert reaches the base of the communications tower first, out of breath since he sprinted, and dramatically sprawls out on the floor while he waits for fox. Oooof he really was getting old. That wasn't a nice thought]

... [it was too quiet in this city though, and there was no telltale hum of electricity coming from the comm tower. Who knew if it was still in service?]

[Now there was the tower, but where did he...? Oh.]

You okay?

Yup.[Gilbert flips up onto his feet, although he staggers on the landing. Smooth.]

Looks like we struck gold. It's got a transmitter station attached, see? [the tower was perched atop of a single story building, which Gilbert hoped was the transmitter station] So that means we can see what this thing is broadcasting. Although... [frowns] your keen foxy ears hear any electricity humming about?

[His what?]

No. I don't hear anything, really. The whole place sounds dead.

Hm, that's gonna be troublesome. [Gilbert moves over to the door. It's locked. He kicked it open - and that was always fun to do] Let's nose about then!

Do you want to head straight up to the tower? Or should we look around the building first?

Well, the building will do, me thinks. Going up the tower'll be useless if the electricity is out.

Heh. And here I thought you were just going to try and blow it up.
