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.

The different incarnations of the Doctor won't have any effect whatsoever on the control room, if that's what you're asking? I'm a little confused haha. It's the Second Doctor's console room and will stay that way. The page covers it all.

[theearth]

Okay, just wanted to make sure!

So the console room ought to encompass a single tier 2 with the caveat that it will not be able to travel through time and space (for now. If that changes, we'll let you know.) John's key will need to be another Echo.

[dododo]

If the console room is non-functional for now, can he get the key? :|a I'd really like him to have it.

Player: Razorsaw
Character: Jasmine Tsukuyomi/Dark Precure
Reason for Echo: Snake plot
Type and tier: Tier 1, item
What is returned: Jasmine receives her ability to create and throw dark energy blasts.

Reason for Echo: Seeing her sister fighting a snake in the form of Cure Moonlight
Type and tier: Tier 1, memory
What is returned: The "final" battle between Dark Precure and Cure Moonlight, which ends in Cure Moonlight being defeated. She will be delayed in experiencing this echo until after the fight, experiencing it in a dream.

[theearth]

Yep, that works! You could also say some of the more casual functions come with it, like the condiment dispenser, loudspeakers, and opening the exterior doors. The other functions (invisibility, chameleon circuit, power other devices, and others like that) can be Echoed back individually or bundled into another tier 2 Echo. (Traveling through time and space will still probably be unavailable, but again, we'll let you know if/when that changes.)

Provided you're cool with this, then Echo approved as a tier 2 for the Doctor's console room (limited functionality) and key. Please update your info post and thank you for your patience!

[decelerate]

Player: bird!
Character: dallen sutherland (davesprite)
Reason for Echo: aria talking to him in her maroon texty goodness!
Type and tier: memory | tier 1
What is returned: this conversation up until he signs off on her (which is on the next page) because the rest of it is a different event altogether!

hopefully i am doing this right ahhh.

[dododo]

Thank you very much! C:

Unfortunately, we do not feel like an elementary school teacher would talk about the cruelty of fate to their students and so we have decided to decline this Echo request.

Second Echo, however, approved! Please update your info post and discuss random Phillipings with players before surprising their characters.

[darkhourdear]

I have actually seen elementary school music teachers talk about O Fortuna (though I guess more just reading the poem?? dunno if that would work), but if you guys think not that's fine. XD

[eras]

Player: Lucy
Character: aria/aradia megido
Reason for Echo: Octavia rolled the fluorite octet in a thread Aria was already in.
Type and tier: Memory, Tier 1
What is returned: Aradia got to see Virska use those same dice many times over the course of their campaign, but the on screen moment I'm going for is this very short thing which amounts to two sentences/the memory of a lucky dice roll from those same die during a battle (? she guesses).

i'm sorry i didn't plan for this.

Character: sierra callahan/serah farron
Reason for Echo: kallie telling her lightning was a soldier before and also HEY WE WERE PAST LIFE SISTERS.
Type and tier: Memory, Tier 1
What is returned: She did in fact have a sister who enlisted as a soldier in order to support them both, named Lightning. CONFIRMATION, BASICALLY.

ASKING FOR THE ECHO THAT'LL HAPPEN WHEN JAKE BURSTS IN ON THE CAST LOG MIGHT HAVE BEEN A GOOD IDEA, TOO. :| /smart why didn't i do these earlier

Character: sierra callahan/serah farron
Reason for Echo: Meeting Jake/Snow for the first time, set to happen in another round of tags. :|b
Type and tier: Memory, Tier 1
What is returned: From here at 4:54 ("And killing her is a mercy?") up to "It's your fault she - ". Which encompasses Snow coming in to find her and arguing for a second with Lightning about what happens next. GUYS, PLEASE.

[skycutter]

Player: Trap
Character: Miles/Hope
Reason for Echo: Jake coming into the log (which will happen shortly) like Ke$ha in that song. Which is obviously his first meeting with the guy.
Type and tier: Memory, tier 1
What is returned: Some tall-as-heck blond douche barreling into a creepy zombie to save Hope and some girl with orange pigtails. 8:30 to 8:43, where he says "Let's even these odds!". Aka first actual contact with Snow.

[theearth]

The second Echo is approved - on the first, however, for certainty's sake about how powerful are/what will she be capable of with the energy blasts?

[theearth]

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

[theearth]

All Echoes approved - please update your characters' info accordingly!

They're roughly as strong as a standard special attack. They vary in intensity on the show, but they're never enough to finish someone off on their own. They're usually in the form of energy balls that explode on contact.

[theearth]

What is the strongest you would cap it at - at its best, that is, how much damage do you imagine it might do to, say, a stone wall and/or a person?

[greenisthenewblack]

Player: Claire
Character: Sheila Go/Shego
Reason for Echo: This red glow is remarkably similar to the Go Team Glow
Type and tier: Power; Tier 1
What is returned: Sheila's getting her Go Team Glow back! It... doesn't make it to plasma yet. It just... glows. And is a little bit warmer than body temperature. She can control it, but it'll take some practice, and tends to pop up when she's mad.

[jasminebloominginshadow]

It would hurt a normal person without any powers or endurance fairly badly and blast the wall to pieces. It's not weak but it's not hideously strong. Most powered characters would be able to endure it.

[needsmorezippers]

Player: Bookie
Character: Neku Sakuraba
Reason for Echo: Holding a gun
Type and tier: Tier 1; memory
What is returned: Memory of his duel with Joshua-- beginning with Joshua counting down, and ending when he eventually drops the gun.

[nevergivesup]

Player: Jax
Character: Jake Harrison
Reason for Echo: Castmate meetup log; seeing Sierra's face + her sideways ponytail.
Type and tier: memory | tier 1
What is returned: The mysterious and immediate knowledge that THIS is the girl the name "Serah" comes from.


And there will be another Echo after he's sat down and gotten a better look at Miles, but the Echo depends a lot on what his face is gonna be like at the time so expect another request soon!

[theboywiththebook]

Player: chris
Character: Henry Cassidy/Mills
Reason for Echo:Snake encounter
Type and tier: Tier 2 Item
What is returned: Henry's storybook. Now, it's tier 2 because it contains a lot of the stories of the people from the Enchanted Forest. Considering the potential it has to give Henry echoes back if he reads it, it's a pretty big item. Of course, I'm willing to go by any limits you place on it.

[espigeonage]

Player: Joysweeper
Character: Julien
Reason for Echo: Snakes in a meeting!
Type and tier: Physical change, Tier 1
What is returned: Beak/tongue/glottis/choana - basically a change to the inside of Julien's mouth and throat.

The roots of his teeth will dissolve so the teeth themselves will shed. In their place something like the hard outer layers of a beak will push up out of his gums. It'll have the same general shape and color as teeth and be deeply grooved in the right places, so it functions the same and at a glance looks like teeth to humans. However it's keratin instead of enamel, less sturdy but also slowly growing. There are particular touch and taste receptors embedded in it.

For the rest, I drew a diagram! On the left is the human formation.

The esophagus and trachea are parted. The trachea can pinch closed or fit itself to the choana, a closeable slit in the roof of the mouth leading to the sinuses and nostrils. Deeper than the choana is a smaller slit leading to the inner ears - birds can "pop" their ears at will to adjust to pressure differences.

The tongue itself becomes longer and less flexible, narrower, bears a bone inside, and is forked in a particular way. If he doesn't extend it all the way or let people examine his open mouth it just looks like he's keeping his tongue narrow. And now he can no longer taste capsaisin. :(
