Echo Requests (retired)

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.

Threaded | Top-Level Comments Only

Player: Bri
Character: Nick Burkhardt
Reason for Echo: The first time he's hit low enough that he not only sought comfort in the form of public physical affection, but was the one initiating contact and pulling someone in for a hug (thinking you're turning into a serial killer and getting completely wasted'll do that to you, apparently)
Type and tier: Mental/personality | Tier 1
What is returned: His other self's comfort with and tendency towards casual physical contact/affection

Player: Remaix
Character: Cerise Bellefleur
Reason for Echo: Lily showing her her Precure Seed.
Type and tier: Tier 1, Item
What is returned: Cure Blossom's Precure Seed, which is the final component needed for her to transform into Cure Blossom.

Player: Anduin
Character: Kallie
Reason for Echo: Finally getting close enough to a Blood Key (Skyler/Sora).
Type and tier: Ability, tier 1.
What is returned: Enfrost spell. Gives her the ability to add a blue-glowy ~ice effect~ to a weapon/object she's holding, or even just her hands if she wanted- although the latter would probably be pretty uncomfortable/numbing if kept up for more than a few seconds. Causes a layer of spontaneous ice on stuff she hits that seems to sublimate instead of melt. Only 'castable' on herself.

Echo approved! Please update your info post.

We're sorry, but the sole mention of her name is not a strong enough canon recurrence for her chant. A memory wherein she's called Sakura would be more fitting.

Ah, I was going off the fact she says her name in her chant and she's never heard that word or name before but I can try to think of something else.

Player: Mawi
Character: Scoot Scoot von Toot toot née Veracruz
Reason for Echo: holly why did you become a zombie
Type and tier: Tier 1, memory.
What is returned: The memory of a certain pirate getting knocked into some moonlight, turning slightly undead, and rolling a medallion (that Sora actually has in his possession in keychain form) across his fingers in response. Also, the distinct impression that they were working together, but they didn't exactly get along.

Reason for Echo: OH MY GOD THE FUCKING JACKET IS REAL
Type and tier: Tier 1, memory
What is returned: From here to 2:32! Right before the name reveal. As with all of his Chain of Memories echoes, this memory comes severely damaged, with only the basic parts coming across (The fact that he's forgotten someone and has been carrying something from her the entire time, Larxene is BAD BAD BAD, general mind fuckery). He will get a severe migraine when he recalls it now and will experience more migraines if he tries to remember it again.

Player: DC
Character: Arxene
Reason for Echo: Blood Key encounter, here!
Type and tier: Tier 1, Ability
What is returned: A small amount of her lightning powers: she's not calling down proper lightning bolts yet, but she can make sparks (could cause a burn, but not very dangerous) or power a small handheld device such as a hairdryer for a minute or two.

And this one might be a stretch but hey, may as well request it.
Character: Arlene again
Reason for Echo: Watching the video of Paul Ben's death: specifically Miller and Edwards's dialogue about why they need to kill him. (Relevant thread.)
Type and tier: Tier 1, Memory
What is returned: (One day I'll actually link videos with these.) She remembers observing this bit of conversation between Axel and Marluxia (not that she knows their names yet):
"If ____ disappears, that would mess up _____ plans."
"I trust that you know what you need to do."
"Haven't a clue, really. Maybe you could spell it out for me."
"Vexen has clearly committed a treasonous act ______. You must eliminate the traitor."
"No taking that back later."

She doesn't remember the names "Sora" or "the Organization," for the sake of not having her know too much important stuff too soon. Would it require a Tier 2 for those blanks to fill in at a later date if she gets a memory about one of them? (Did that question make any sense?)

Edit: oh right she's going on the subway exploration so she'll need an echo for that too

Character: Arlene
Reason for Echo: Encountering the bit of Wise Snake's skin in the subway
Type and tier: Tier 1, Memory
What is returned: Pink stone, pink guy. She remembers the appearance of this guy and that he was a close associate of some kind.

Oh god I was spacey as anything yesterday and that didn't occur to me SO. Could I switch Thunderbolt out in favour of the weediest lightning spell, "sparks?" Sorry to be a giant pain in the ass sdfjkg

I ALSO FORGOT THIS

X2 MESSUP COMBO

Player: Still Louise
Character: Still Grumpo McWizardybook
Reason for Echo: Looking up what David Proud's deal was in general
Type and tier: Tier 1 memory
What is returned: The discussion of "them" putting a new artificial heart inside Proud will trigger memories of him doing the same thing to his apprentice Ildari. He'll recall that she died, but not that she later came back to life.
