**Situated in the heart of downtown New York City, The Triumph is a towering spectacle of human ingenuity and human failure; though 135 stories in height, taller than any other building in modern New York, the building is only partially finished; a quarter of the building, a golden spire, exists only in scaffolding.
The Triumph was the first large project in the effort to rebuild New York, and recieved enormous amounts of funding from various organizations. It was hoped that, when completed, the building would spark interest in the rebuilding effort and serve as the template for a new, grander New York. Ironically, the building succeeded too much; groups, excited by the opportunity, started creating buildings around it, to the extent that by the time it reached the decorative spire the project did not have enough funding. Though several projects went attempted to raise the money to finish it, none of them proved successful.
As a result, the design of the building was modified somewhat to allow the top floor to be used as a bit of a viewing platform beneath the girders. And although not complete, the Triumph is still the home of several large companies; most prominently that of noted industrialist Eugene MacDonald, who has been campaigning for the position of Mayor.**

Sing lustily and with good courage.
Be aware of singing as if you were half dead,
or half asleep:
but lift your voice with strength.
Be no more afraid of your voice now,
nor more ashamed of its being heard,
than when you sang the songs of Satan.
"OOOOOOOH! PRETTY!" Micah sarcastically screams at the top of his lungs as he skips into the building, holding his small backpack. Although his family has been able to live with his eccentricity for their life, most strangers havn't, and Micah smiles and waves at the people who stare at him. Walking into the lobby, Micah looks around for an elevator or stairs (if he finds one, he will take it to the top floor).

**He found an elevator, sure, but it didn't go to the top floor. The buttons stopped at around floor 90.**

Micah hops in the elevator, and presses the button for floor 90, figuring its the quickest way to the top. As soon as the doors close, and he is alone, he looks around for a security camera on the elevator.

Sticking his tongue out at the camera, Micah turns away from it, and whips out his GPS. Going through it, he starts looking at the locations of where people have said the last "Old Ones" were sighted. Intruiged, but yet still clueless, Micah had decided to set out to find who these "Old Ones" were. And the tallest building in New York City seemed to be good enough for him. When the elevator stops, he steps out onto the 90th floor.

Irritated by the gift shops, Micah goes up to the nearest register without a line, and slams his hands down on the counter. Grinning like a madman, he says "I've got questions, and I'm not going anywhere 'till I get answers." *clears throat* "Now that the cordialities are out of the way, how does one get to the....observation plateau?"

*Sigh* "Fine. But just becuase I'm so darned good-looking." And with that, Micah forks over 20 of his precious gold pieces, and says "Now, how do I go up?"

"Thank you very much, kind madam" says Micah and bows, deliberately winking. He then sprints to the elevator, presses the buttons as many times as he can, and waits for the elevator. When it comes, he gets on and goes up to the top.

"Wow." breathes in Micah, being rather serious for once. He had never seen anything like this in Nevada.This building was truly amazing. But somehow he wanted more. He quickly looked around to try and get the populace. ((Basically, if there's anyone official-looking or not))

**Not really, no; the place wasn't particularly popular because of the high admission cost.
There was, however, a man in a suit on the other side, talking on his cellphone.**

A) If the scaffolding/railing is low enough ((you said there was one overhead)), he will attempt to climb up as high as he can go to get a better look.
B) If that fails, he will go to the railing by the suit and appear to gaze around the city while eavesdropping.

Hmmm, Micah thought to himself. He certainly didn't want to blow any more gold than he had to, so he guessed it was time for a stroll. As he left the Triumph, he tries to look for a local who might happen to be nearby the building/in the lobby.

((Nevermind, I just wasn't sure if they'd hang around the building, it seems to be more of a tourist trap. I was just talking anyone without a I <3 NY shirt on =P))<br/>
Micah exuberantly walks up to the nearest person and introduces himself.
"Hello sir ((or ma'am, not sure)), I would like to know if you have heard of these strange people called The Old Ones.
