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.

[espigeonage]

Player: Joysweeper
Character: Julien

Reason for Echo: Julien losing the last person he looks up to and might personally consider an authority figure. (Aaron's still around, but thanks to de-networking he's demoted to "person I care about and have to help and protect" - he wanted to lean on Aaron if things got as bad as he fears, but now believes he can't or shouldn't) Followed by the strongly emotional thought that no one's going to be there for me, I have to do this alone, basically.

It's a recurrence! Yuuya saw all his authority figures killed or made helpless early in his childhood, and must have had a similar realization.
Type and tier: Mental, Tier 1.
What is returned: Reinforcement of that thought. No one will swoop in and make it better for him, no one will always stand by him. In the end he's got to face a lot of things alone. He has to do it. He can do it.

Reason for Echo: Helping with Blaine's rescue mission. He'll not encounter any snakes, but Yuuya's very used to search-and-rescue missions, so, recurrence!
Type and tier: Mental, Tier 1.
What is returned: Yuuya's weird calm in (most) emergency situations, which has helped in such missions. It can be shaken, but it's very difficult; otherwise he can generally keep cool and focus, and save most reaction for later?

Hostage tries to strangle him? "...sorry, did I scare you?" Monster picks up on his most terrible secret? "That has nothing to do with the fact that you're in my way." Takes a tank shell for someone and is horribly burned? "Are you okay?" Accused of the murder of someone whose body he cut up? Stay relaxed-looking.

This will probably be the first of many, thanks Thomas

Player: Airdra
Character: Tater/Torin
Reason for Echo: Thomas said the word Kyoryuger.
Type and tier: Memory, Tier 1
What is returned: Knowledge of a team called the Kyoryugers. There's a vague idea of what they all look like while transformed and the knowledge that he is the one who brought the team together. He'll have mentor-ly feelings about the team.

The second Echo is approved! Please add relevant data to your info post.

In regards to the first request, however, Aaron has forgotten the network before - and it did provide Julien for an Echo trigger! To clarify, in what way would he interpret this instance as different from the first enough to induce another Echo?

It's in Julien's reaction - the first time the focus was on Aaron, and Aaron's feelings and attitudes changing. This time Julien is more struck with what it means to him.

In the months since that's happened he's had more changes and dread has started to mount. He's had people he relies on move out or forget - Aaron's the last one, and they'd just reconciled in handwaved stuff. Julien's convinced that he will struggle, and there's no one now in that quasi-parental role who'll try to step in and help. So he has to either give up, or resolve to try and face it himself, and he hasn't thought about it like that before.

[tenaciousc]

Player: DC
Character: Mi(chell)e
Reason for Echo: Maybe a stretch, but Anders asked if she remembered herself in a fashion-challenged outfit.
Type and tier: Tier 1, Memory
What is returned: The memory of GLaDOS informing her: "That jumpsuit you're wearing looks stupid. That's not me talking, it's right here in your file. On other people it looks fine, but right here a scientist has noted that on you it looks 'stupid.'" And maybe the following line about "a medical degree in fashion".

This is incredibly silly.

[siesinddasessen]

Player: Kira
Character: Blaine Frost
Reason for Echo: Canon recurrence: Verbally applying the word "cadaver" to Armin/Anthony where he can hear it.
Type and tier: Memory, 1
What is returned: This page and the two before it, excluding the Christa-half of the last panel.

[sugarslice]

Player: Mini
Character: Angeline Strauss / Stocking Anarchy
Reason for Echo: Sara's post on sex-positive tenta-porn.
Type and tier: Mental, tier 1.
What is returned: The memory of being wrapped up in the tentacles of a giant octopus Ghost and enjoying it (9a).

[cava]

Player: Zero
Character: Cain Hashimoto
Reason for Echo: stalking a bird and a nerd
Type and tier: Tier 1, memory
What is returned: The vague awareness of the 37th Super Sentai, the Voltasaur Team Kyoryuger. He hasn't encountered them personally (...yet) in canon, but they were a wrench in a plan he was involved with. It results that he'd at least know of them.

[strikeraid]

Player: Mawi
Character: Skyler von pooplord skybutts dickweed mcgee
Reason for Echo: he's going with this rescue and he's gonna see himself some snake statues for the first time :)b
Type and tier: Tier 2, abilty and item!
What is returned: I'd like to upgrade Spark to Sparkra! It's bigger, shinier, and damagier now, and he has finer control over it. I'd also like for him to get the Cosmic Chain!

[predestinarianism]

Player: Corinne
Character: Evelyn/Zelda
Reason for Echo: Three kids walk into a subway tunnel to find some spooky snake statues!
Type and tier: Tier 1, power.
What is returned: Prophetic dreams! Specifically, the occasional (always mod-approved) very vague symbolic dream that warns her of coming danger. (And, also, just double checking that it's okay for her to have a dream about the underground snake boss, in super vague terms as described here!)

[radiantchicken]

Player: Airdra
Character: Tater/Torin
Reason for Echo: Karl's post about being modified by the cops. Tater hasn't encountered any of that sort of information yet. In canon, Torin modified a few surviving dinosaurs into Voltasaurs.
Type and tier: Memory, Tier 1
What is returned: Memory of creating a creature called a Voltasaur through modifying really huge lizards. He is not really sure how he accomplished this, except that he accomplished this and that it had to be done.

[needsmorezippers]

Player: Bookie
Character: Neku Sakuraba
Reason for Echo: Feeling betrayed by a mentor figure with wings (aka Karl's reveal)
Type and tier: Tier 2; memory
What is returned: Memories of the artist called CAT- specifically their artwork and that Neku admired them greatly. Also a memory/sense of after having met CAT (though he doesn't know their identity), discovering that CAT was completely willing to do shit that would get Neku killed.
