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.

[formermagicalgirl]

Player: Nadia
Character: Takako/Fenrir
Reason for Echo: Hanging around the art gallery for long enough to get the safe echo.
What is returned: An ability to drain energy from living beings (basically gain some equivalent of Leafe so her abilities don't weaken her greatly). For now it requires direct touch (contact with her skin) and only works plants, animals, and insects, not on humans. It won't be enough to kill the creature, just would make them a bit tired (or wither slightly in the case of a plant). Also the innate ability to control it decently well so she doesn't draw too much attention for it.

Reason for Echo: Not yet threaded, but Sasame-mun and I plan to have a scene where Tamara ends up nearly passing out from how out of control her new ability has been and the fact that it is powered by Leafe and she has no way to gain it except from herself. This will happen in the art gallery after she's gained the safe echo.
What is returned: A memory of this scene minus the stuff with Mawata. So basically just remembering that she did a fake bit of hugging and kissing Sasame.

Player: Deus
Character: Casval Mass
Reason for Echo: Lingering around, though not touching, the gallery statues.
What is returned: A memory of himself conversing with Banagher Links in Palau. More specifically, he'll remember the cup of tea he made for him, and the very last bit at the end, when he voices the hope that "someday, we'll come to understand each other".

Reason for Echo: Bumping into Brendan, his glasses falling off, and seeing his violet eyes WIDE WITH IMPASSIONED INDIGNATION.
What is returned: Violet eyes are a particularly striking feature of Full Frontal's lieutenant and personal guard, Angelo Sauper. Angelo also has a... similarly volatile temperament. Basically, he'll remember Angelo's identity, and that he was an "important" person to him. And that his eyes and hair were purplish and stuff.

...I may do a network Echo later too but I can't think of anything else for right now. So. Yeah.

process my echo

[wordsgate]

Player: Haley
Character: Sam Iwata/Sasame
Reason for Echo: Hanging around the art exhibit!
What is returned: Some of his old sword-fighting skills back. He'll now know how to block and strike on a basic level and a few basic stances. (However, his former strength and athleticism won't return with this for now, so he might struggle to lift and properly use an actual sword.)

Reason for Echo: Like Takako-mun mentioned, Sam's going to catch Tamara when she has a fainting spell due to her abilities, resulting in a canon-reoccurrence.
What is returned: The memory of faking an embrace and a kiss with Takako (although anything concerning the reason behind it--Mawata--will be blanked out until another echo). He'll also remember that it was definitely faked, but he was still rather happy about it. There's...there's a video she's linked up there and stuff. C'mon you're not going to make me link it again right? ...Right??

[theearth]

And... then they kissed? And then there was lots of male on male kissing everywhere, right?

Approved for both, I guess? I feel kind of confused. Maybe you should just go update your info post.

baka mods just don't understand our forbidden love

hmph

[northless]

Player: Effy
Character: Robb Stark
Reason for Echo: Hanging around the statues in the art gallery.
What is returned: The lyrics to The Rains of Castamere.

[professorwolf]

Player: Gail
Character: Randolph Lyall
Reason for Echo: Hanging around the museum statues for an hour or two
What is returned: Memory of watching the battle between his former Alpha and his current Alpha, and the former Alpha's death; this comes with a sense of fear and anger at the former Alpha, worry about his plan not succeeding (he doesn't get any memory of that this plan is, except that it culminated in bringing this new wolf to fight the old wolf), and finally satisfaction when the abusive Alpha dies at the teeth of Conall Maccon. The memory ends as he begins to introduce himself to Conall as his new Beta.

[edhwierfan]

Player: Kamilah
Character: Aeron Penning / Arthur Pendragon

Reason for Echo: Hanging around the statues
What is returned: Connection with the Pendragon crest. (Sense of familiarity and pride in it, accepting it as his symbol of sorts).

Reason for Echo: The hauntings
What is returned: Extensive (theoretical) knowledge of weaponry; knowing what they are, knowing how they're supposed to be used (but still unable to use them effectively at this point!)

[edhwierfan]

Makes sense! Would dividing this into three or four echoes in total (before he reaches Arthur's previous level) be good for you guys?

[espigeonage]

Oh, also! I was reading Spook! Infrasound - sound too deep for humans to consciously pick up on - can sometimes has effects on humans. Causes odd sensations, changes in emotional state, may make figures appear in peripheral vision. Electromagnetic activity can have a similar effect.

As it happens pigeons are more sensitive to both of these than humans are - they can hear much lower sounds and have magnetic sensors in their beaks and eyes.

[angelskills]

Player: Kero.
Character Colette Brunel.
Reason for Echo: Hanging around the art gallery, but not touching anything.
What is returned: Insomnia, reflective of one of the first things she had to give up when she was losing her humanity - the need to sleep. She'll still sleep now, of course, but she'll have a hard time doing it or won't feel like she needs it for long periods of time.

[elfstoned]

Player: Krystal
Character: Aragorn
Reason for Echo: People-watching in the art gallery
What is returned: Half of Narsil. The pointy, utterly useless half that he can't hold without cutting himself.

He does have seven Echoes so far, and if you want to veto this, I totally understand -- I can just say that he wasn't in there for a full hour/went in the afternoon and came back in the evening.

[consiliarius]

Player: Rose
Character: Sanosuke Harada
Reason for Echo: Fun haunting times (particularly the howling dog noise)
What is returned: A memory of the Shinsengumi having to hunt down a loose rasetsu in Kyoto so it wouldn't terrorize the city. Because a howling dog totally sounds like the pained cries of a not!vmapire amirite. From a...distance...

Also he wouldn't gain any knowledge on what a rasetsu is from this memory except they're creepy as hell and fast and have white hair and red eyes, yes.

Just... as a gentle FYI, non-game or culture specific terminology (yandere, everybirdie) is better off avoided in explanations to avoid confusion. Because I'm honestly kind of more confused than before regarding what you're trying to say here. If this ability is honestly so vague in canon that you're not able to expand upon it reasonably to someone canonblind, it may be worth rethinking as an Echo request. And after me rereading it three times, squinting really hard, and still not really getting it -- yeah. That's a problem. In addition, the "has to be inferred" portion implies that this is basically headcanon, and I'm wary of approving those without some justification behind it.

Basically, I'm going to need a more legible, condensed version of this before I can approve it.

[theearth]

After giving this some thought, I'm going to allow this, but I'd ask two things:

1) That Diabound not be summoned constantly, so we don't have the ordinary populace freaking out at GIANT DEMON SNAKE THING;
2) That Diabound not be granted any further abilities for a while, given its capability to Wreck Things on a considerable scale. Like, a while a while.

If you're down with both of these stipulations, then Echo approved.

[theearth]

You don't need to request the Echoes separately! I trust you to pace it reasonably on your own (say, after a week, SUDDENLY EPIC AMBUSH STRATEGIST, another week, LOOK HOW GREAT I AM AT PROTECTING PEOPLE, etc.) But if there's ever any doubt before pushing him up a further tier, feel free to ask a mod.

Does that make sense?

;_;

Echo approved... I guess... go update your info post, monster.

[theearth]

Nope, this is cool, given that it's relatively minor in comparison to the others. Approved, go update the info post, etc.

[theearth]

Echo appROOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOved! Get it? Because it sounded like... oh, never mind. Just update that info post. MY JOKES ARE HILARIOUS

[theearth]

Both echoes approved. Update x2 your info post x1!
