Echo Requests (retired)

[theearth]

New Echo Request page here!

Please fill out this form when requesting an Echo, then post it to this entry. The request will be dealt with as soon as possible.

When requesting an Echo induced by a past-life parallel/recurrence, please demonstrate clearly the similarity between the events, as well as the relation between the events and what is returned.

As of September 2013, Tier 2 Echoes can be granted once a month per character. Take care to specify the limitations and/or level of detail to the Echo requested! If you are unsure, suggestions will be gladly offered.

Reason for Echo: What caused the Echo, whether it be by a plot-related trigger or a canon recurrence. For the latter, this must be unusual enough to have been the first time the character has encountered it within Locke City, and strongly resemble a specific event from canon. Picking up a jug of milk from the store will not cause an Echo if it isn't any different than the times the character has done it before.
Type and tier: Physical change, power/ability, mental/memory, or item/creature. Tier 1 are the regular Echoes, and are typically a single memory/ability/item/etc. Tier 2 are essentially two regular Echoes rolled into one, such as an item and a memory or ability associated with it, or two directly-related memories, or so on. Currently only one Tier 2 Echo is allowed per month, so please be sure to note them somehow on your info posts.
What is returned: In the case of canon recurrences, these must be directly related to what has caused the Echo. Stronger recurrences = stronger Echoes.

[shiromadoushi]

Player: Fran
Character: Bakura
Reason for Echo: Exploring the depths under Tuning Towers with Ravi and co
Type and tier: Power/ability aaaand possibly 2? Pending approval.
What is returned:

Baa awareness: An innate awareness of the level of baa Bakura has. Normally Baa only goes down when Diabound is hit, but due to the limitations on him in game at the moment, it will also go down as he uses his abilities.

Tied to this, I'd like to mix in that Bakura's max Baa levels go up with every echo from Thief King Bakura he gets back. This would cause a very gradual lifting of restrictions (since in canon, Diabound can be out and about and use his abilities with no limits as long as TKB is awake and aware and not on the verge of death)

[tenaciousc]

Player: DC
Character: Michelle/Chell
Reason for Echo: Participating in the exploration as part of mission control!
Type and tier: Tier 1, Memory
What is returned: Being in a seemingly sealed chamber with transparent walls and few furnishings (a podlike bed, a table with a radio, and a talking toilet what the hell.), and greeted by a seemingly recorded voice.

Also, the tune that the radio was playing during that memory is going to wedge itself firmly in her head for a couple days. Earworms, man.

Apologies for the inconvenience - however, is there a particular link between the necklace and device themselves, or are they two more discrete items? If so then it'd be preferable to choose one - or grant both via Tier 2 Echo if you've not used Calista's for November yet.

If I have to choose, I'll take the ipad and throw out the necklace.

[hollowleg]

Also gonna go ahead and put in for Shiro's Tier 2 for November

Player: Bat
Character: Shiro
Reason for Echo: Exploring under the Tuning Towers, as part of TEAM DISTRACT PEOPLE.
Type and tier: Tier 2, Physical/Ability
What is returned: Shiro gains the ability to grow claws from his fingertips. These claws are long, black, sharp, and able to leave marks in steel. Additionally, he regains the ability to sense "reiatsu" (spiritual pressure). A sixth sense of sorts, used by Hollows for finding prey and avoiding bigger Hollows, the ability allows Shiro to judge a person's strength of soul, as well as tell if they're living or dead. In general, supernatural creatures have stronger reiatsu than normal humans. For now he'll have no idea what it is or how to describe it, and will probably ICly think of it as an improvement to his sense of smell at first.

[peacefulwinter]

Player: MaxSalsa
Character: Winter Adamas
Reason for Echo: Underground exploration mission, exploration team; if something horribly untoward happens, it'll trigger at exactly the right moment to make people not die. Otherwise, whenever everyone else triggers, because reasons.
Type and tier: Plot, T2
What is returned: [Memory + Power] A specific sequence of brief memories, mostly flashbacks to when Rikka and Mana were very young and Rikka's parents had just moved into the house next door; their parents introduced them to each other, and Mana pretty much bonded with her right away. Winter will remember the mental comment "I can go far with her," probably referring to Mana in context, and then she'll have a new shiny Lovies to use for her first actual magical ability: Twinkle Diamond, an ice ray. It has a little bit of startup time and isn't particularly spectacular, but it's definitely something. As with everything else, Winter needs to be in her form as Cure Diamond to use this ability, and if Raquel isn't around she can't use it.

Character: Winter Adamas
Reason for Echo: Thread I can't link while I'm on mobile; Banagher asked her what her favorite flavor of shaved ice. That happens to have been something that came up in canon.
Type and tier: Recurrence [memory], T1
What is returned: The memory of a summer festival with herself, Mana, and three other several other girls (the rest of her team, not that she knows that), each with a different flavor of shaved ice, and each sharing between each other, because, according to Mana, and which she'll remember, "it tastes better when you share it".

[reincarnationception]

Player: Void
Character: Daniel Lu/Fei Fong Wong
Reason for Echo: This conversation. In canon, when Fei and Elly meet up, he says her name without any prompting or prior information. He already knows her name, even if he doesn't realize it at the time.
Type and tier: Memory, 1
What is returned: Simply the knowledge of her name and a certainty that he already knew it when she told him.

[worldmother]

Player: Sheepy
Character: Elly O'Connell
Reason for Echo: This conversation, particularly the most recent comment. Fei and Elly, upon their first meeting, have a conversation where he makes the same observation, practically word for word.
Type and tier: Memory, tier 1
What is returned: Remembering the conversation almost immediately following pointing a gun at Fei, where these same words are said. The implication here is that, while she did shoot, she misses him by a mile. She'll also remember the fight immediately following, when she was jumped by forest gnomes.

[von_uberwolf]

Player: Eric
Character: Angela Roth
Reason for Echo: A full moon combined with a butcher shop within ten blocks of Angela
Type and tier: Tier 1 physical change
What is returned: Bloodhound level sense of smell

[flamberge]

Player: Olga
Character: Karl Aurion/Richard Locke
Reason for Echo: Exploring the subway/tunnels.
Type and tier: Memory/Mental, Tier 2
What is returned: Knowledge on how to be a proper knight & remembering all the fun pillars & stuff and then for the Tier 2 part, it would be the desire to actually behave like a knight & put all that into practice.

[selfassured]

Player: Heather
Character: Derek Hale
Reason for Echo: Exploration mission - Interference team.
Type and tier: Ability, Tier 1
What is returned: The weird sort of sub-vocal howling that the werewolves do. Altered vocal chords, I guess it would come under?

Character: Lutece Twins
Reason for Echo: Exploration mission - Mission Control
Type and tier: Memory, Tier 1
What is returned: Memory of Monument tower with a general recollection of the specimen observation area inside.

[espigeonage]

Player: Joysweeper
Character: Juliyuuya
Reason for Echo: Exploration mission - Mission Control.
Type and tier: Tier 2, physical and... power? Birds are weird.
What is returned: a) Pigeon hearing, b) Pigeon... emergency time perception.

He's already got pigeon ear inner anatomy and hair cell regeneration. Pigeon hearing isn't particularly sharper than in humans, but they can hear vastly lower frequencies. Low frequency sounds carry far further than higher ones. A pigeon in the center of the continental US can hear the ocean on the East, West, and Gulf Coasts, and the wind against the chains of the Rocky and Appalachian Mountains, extending hundreds of miles. Also audible in this way: auroras, explosions, storms, waterfalls, meteors, earthquakes and volcanoes, tornadoes, some kinds of engine, the various animals that communicate with low frequency sound. Incoming tsunamis, seismic events, and tornadoes can be heard minutes to hours before they can be detected by human senses. It's how many animals can sense these things coming.

Also, avian temporal sensitivity is ten times more acute than in humans. Sounds too fast and complicated for humans to really grasp are heard with much greater fidelity and complexity. With enough practice Julien might become exceptional at vocal analysis and more precise imitations. Temporal sensitivity ties into the next bit:

Birds see faster, hear faster, and can produce sounds faster than humans can. Their reflexes are faster. Bold ones seem to wait until the last possible second to move out of the way, and they can fly swiftly and surely through chaotic tight spaces like underbrush, that require tilting and folding wings out of the way to pass through.

So, this is not quite superspeed, since only his voice and senses can entirely keep pace. And it's not that everything is always in slow motion, either. But if something moves quickly enough to startle him, or he is alarmed, Julien's perceptions speed up briefly, so that the world seems to move at one tenth its normal rate. Humans have a little of this already, when there's a crisis and sometimes the world seems to slow briefly. But like this it's more pronounced, happens more often, and can to some extent be controlled.

[italktofish]

Player: Airdra
Character: Arthur Curry/Aquaman
Reason for Echo: He's participating in the expedition log.
Type and tier: Item and physical change, Tier 2.
What is returned: He will be regaining his Aquaman suit, minus any context as to what it is other than his. He will also be regaining the superheroic physique necessary to pull this off, although he will initially attribute it to his new vegetarian diet working out really well for him all of a sudden. Basically, he'll suddenly be in peak physical condition without actually having to work for it, much to the delight of everyone who has had an unpleasant physical Echo, I'm sure.

[acequeen]

Player: Pam
Character: Kallen Kouzuki/Regina Akamine
Reason for Echo: Regina taking part in distracting the cops during Ravindra's Tuning Towers expedition
Type and tier: Tier 2 - Physical/Mental
What is returned: Let's start with the mental part first. This time, there's a brief second where she smiles at a boy with black hair and purple eyes as she tries to insert a tracking device on to him, but suddenly there are scattered flashes of a casino here and there, with herself dressed in a bunny suit for some reason, getting her hair roughly pulled by a sleazy-looking casino owner. Cut to her sucker punching the owner in the face and doing a fancy crane kick to knock him down, then it also cuts to her doing mid-air flips to beat up a small group of men in black suits until the visions end with her grabbing a boy's wrist and dragging him away.

By the way, this echo marks the very first time Regina actually sees Lelouch, and no, she won't know who the heck he is, but for some reason there's the need to save him from something. She also won't know exactly why she dressed up in a bunny suit to begin with.

Now here's the physical part: she now gains the ability to do some dramatic gymnastic maneuvers such as mid-air flips! To make things fair, they'll be at around 45% gained.

[theearth]

Approved, yo. <o

[theearth]

NO.



.... Er, I mean, yes. Approved.

[espigeonage]

Player: Joysweeper
Character: Julien
Reason for Echo: Danny coming perilously close to the truth re: the pigeon disease.
Type and tier: Tier 1, mental/knowledge.
What is returned: "It's called Carneades." He's heard it before, now he'll hear it again.

That's it. Just three words.
