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.

[respecting]

Player: Des
Character: Beat
Reason for Echo: A direct mention of the Reaper's Game by Neku! Which I intend to tag, of course.
What is returned: A memory from the scene from Week 1, Day 7, where Beat sneaks out to find Uzuki and Kariya.

Uzuki: Bleh. Day 7 is such a yawn. Not enough Players left, you know?
Koki: See? This is why I pace myself. Work too hard and you run out of work.
U: Yeah… We did rack up a ton of points this week.
K: And on the seventh day…we rest. The first day of many days off, I hope.
B: Yo…
U: Who’s there? …You!?
B: ……
U: We toasted your partner--you should be smoke by now!
K: Make another pact?
B: ……
U: So, like, what? You thirsty for revenge?
B: No!
U: …Huh? Then what do you want?
B: ……Answers. Tell me what I need to know!
U: You do realize…you’re in no position to make demands?
B: ……
U: I could erase you with my little finger.
B: ……
K: Aight, Skulls… You ask. Maybe we’ll answer.
U: Hey…Kariya!!!
B: What does it take? How do you Reapers do it!?

He will remember most of what's said, but not the Reaper's names, faces or where they were. They'll basically be silhouettes in his mind, so the only thing of their appearance he'll remember is the wings.

[strikeraid]

Player: Mawi
Character: Skyler Veracruz / Sora
Reason for Echo: HOLY FUCK THEY'RE REAL (he's seen sharp teeth on TV and in comic books but THIS GUY IS ON A LIVE FEED DANG)
What is returned: Flashes of images of various Heartless that also have fearsome jaws. And when I mean flashes, I do mean quick, half-second to second long flashes with no context. In order: Grand Ghost, Search Ghost, Trick Ghost, Hot Rod, Prison Keeper, Darkball, Shadow Stalker, Dark Thorn, and Infernal Engine. The Infernal Engine is VERY fuzzy and indistinct, as though the memory doesn't quite want to come back.

EDIT: HAHAHAHA YAY FOR A STEADILY DECLINING READING COMPREHENSION ABILITY

Reason for Echo: Ok, just seeing his face wouldn't have been enough, but that plus the beanie plus his signature BWAAAAA? There has to be something.
What is returned: The impression that he's seen this guy in a dark town with bright lights. No names, no sense of location, just an impression.

[truthandlogic]

Player: Nadia
Character: Miles Edgeworth
Reason for Echo: Naoto's post about Candy's disappearance, mostly the mention of the police chief being involved in the murder of Paul Ben.
What is returned: A memory of a case that involved another police chief, Damon Gant, who committed murder. He'll remember the very end of the case where he and Phoenix got Gant to confess to the murders of Bruce Goodman and Neil Marshall and he'll also remember Gant's words to him saying that they were the same and they both hated criminals and one day Edgeworth would understand. Edgeworth will also recall the sheer horror he felt at hearing those words.

And because of Gant's tendency to give people nicknames, Edgeworth will mistakenly think Phoenix's name is Wrighto and be confused about that as well.

[moarnomsplz]

Player: ellie
Character: Ax/Alex
Reason for Echo: delayed reaction from the tainted water
What is returned: A memory of the alternate future the Ellimist showed the Animorphs in The Stranger, which will give Alex basic information about the war in Ax's world: that it's been going on for his whole life, and that the enemy is a race of sluglike creatures who control their hosts. It'll also make him think the good guys lost, because I'm evil like that.

[hawaiianheir]

Player: Mon
Character: Makani Kapule
Reason for Echo: Tavia's degeneration into 8n 8ncomprehensi8le 8m8nt 8f 8s.
What is returned: Canon parallel! Mac will remember talking a lot with someone who did this all the time. Still no name, but he'll definitely remember the text quirk.

[theearth]

Echo approved! Upd8 thy info!

changed my mind, uh

[metalbent]

Player: Lucy!
Character: Sophie Bai / Toph Beifong.
Reason for Echo: Accidentally drinking the water after trying to avoid it. :T The problems with not being able to see the drinks your parents hand you and automatically accepting them.
What is returned: What Is Bending 101: Bending is a thing that allows people to control the elements. There are four types: Fire, Water, Earth, and Air. Sophie doesn't get knowledge of any of the sub-bending types (sandbending, metalbending, swampbending, lightningbending...) nor does she get any idea she's a bender or how one would go about bending, but just the general "hey this is totally a thing, and it rocks". She doesn't know about the Avatar/four-element bender, though. sounds like a giant CHEATER, though.

please destroy me omg i'm so sorry

[strikeraid]

Player: Mawi
Character: Skyler Veracruz/Sora
Reason for Echo: DID SOMEONE SAY REAPER'S GAME
What is returned: The following dialogue, along with the memory of his hand being held in front of him. The other's person extends their hand with a countdown on it.

Neku: Looks like you're not a Player.
Sora: A Player?
Neku: C'mon, keep up. In the Game.

[gogoghostpowers]

This may or may not fly, I don't know, so let's try it!

Player: Lisa
Character: Danny Fenton
Reason for Echo: Canon reoccurence--Danny's parents have been building a large sign on their house proclaiming "FENTONWORKS" on it. They have also, for the first time, decided to try building a test coaster that expands to the roof of their house.

It doesn't look exactly like his house in canon, of course, but the expansion of his parents' business and proclamation of their name to the outside of their home, so that anyone who walks by knows exactly who lives there and what is going on inside, will give Danny a sense of deja vu.

What is returned: A strong sense in his mind that there is a town called Amity Park in Illinois and that it's a mid-sized city. The nagging feeling that his house is supposed to look even more outrageously unsafe and ridiculous.

[rota]

Player: Trap
Character: Toni/Naoto
Reason for Echo: Finding out that the chief and a detective were involved in Candy's disappearance plus her conversations with Nick and Alex in her post, particularly about the invaders.
What is returned: Tohru Adachi. Basically his appearance, that he's a detective too, that he's responsible for the kidnappings and deaths of a few people and he does have murderous impulses behind the unassuming face, but not his voice, name, motives, number of victims or method. She'll also know that he's been working for creatures that aren't human, and that there's something really off about him. Just not what it is, or who he works for.

Obviously, Adachi is human, but he's been working for things that aren't, being indirectly responsible for the murders and kidnappings and attempting to bring the Fog World into the Human World. I think the fact that the chief and the detective are working for non-human entities in really shifty ways is enough to ping her for Adachi. He's also been possessed by one of these entities, which is the "something really off" part about him.

[wirsinddiejager]

Player: Aave
Character: Alan
Reason for Echo: Talking with Ryan about how they might have known each other in their past lives, leading to Ryan telling Alan he'll have to work hard if he wants to save lives.
What is returned: The scene this conversation parallels: during hand-to-hand combat training, Reiner lectures Eren on a soldier's duty to protect others.

[carsharkkonishi]

Player: Nadeline
Character: Raimu
Reason for Echo: Neku's post, belatedly, after Raimu drinks a glass of water.
What is returned: A memory of having someone push them, then get hit by a car, killing them instantly. They won't remember who pushed them, or what happens afterwards.

[theearth]

Before we formally stamp approval, Neku's mention/discussion of the Reaper's Game and a glass of contaminated water ought to grant her a potential of one Echo each! Would you like to request a second Echo along with this - one for each cause - or stay with just the one?

[contravenes]

Player: Sire
Character: Natsuno
Reason for Echo: This part specifically as he's starting to feel stupid for even entertaining the idea as long as he's had. It more or less mirrors canon where at one point Natsuno thinks he is being stupid for actually believing that a vampire killed his best friend.
What is returned: The memory of himself asking this and a vague recollection of asking Toshiro if Megumi was truly dead. This was the memory he was dwelling on at the time of believing he was stupid. He will remember asking the question of if it was possible for Megumi to come back to life and Toshiro laughing, more specifically.



Reason for Echo: Talking to Karson about insomnia... Yes, in fact Natsuno did suffer from insomnia in canon due to Megumi stalking and HE ALWAYS KNEW WHEN SHE WAS THERE.
What is returned: Vague recollection of yes, this was an issue before. Why? He has no idea.

I'm so sorry I'll never let these pile up again...

[schild]

Player: Jan
Character: Ryan Brown/Reiner Braun
Reason for Echo: Bertl's steaming during their not!date
What is returned: The feeling that he's known Bertholdt for most of his life.

Player: Jan
Character: Ryan Brown/Reiner Braun
Reason for Echo: Ellie mentioning she was the "female type-titan" who crushed him in his memory.
What is returned: Oddly enough, more fondness for Annie, and a sense that the extent of their friendship was a secret. (This is headcanon, as it's shown that the three were likely childhood friends, but due to their "mission," they didn't hang out much in their trainee days.)

Player: Jan
Character: Ryan Brown/Reiner Braun
Reason for Echo: Seeing Alan's sweet Survey Corps jacket.
What is returned: A jacket of his own! It's not really Ryan's style, but he'll recognize the symbol from some of his previous echoes. Maybe also that the symbol on it belongs to the "Survey Corps," though he won't remember what that is exactly. (Second bit is optional though, if it's too much, just the jacket itself is fine.)

Player: Jan
Character: Ryan Brown/Reiner Braun
Reason for Echo: Alan mentioning he lost a bunch of his limbs, but they were gonna grow back.
What is returned: Power upgrade! Ryan would regain the ability to heal larger wounds, and faster (no regrowing limbs yet though.) He probably won't find this out until later, anyway.

Player: Jan
Character: Ryan Brown/Reiner Braun
Reason for Echo: Alan suggesting they knew each other in their past lives.
What is returned: The fact that that speech Reiner told Eren (a previous echo) was told to Eren. So it would kind of just un-blur the memory.

[theearth]

All Echoes approved - please go forth and update your info post accordingly!

[hollowleg]

Player: Bat
Character: Shiro
Reason for Echo: talking to Neku about the Reaper's Game/the Afterlife
What is returned: A vague memory of people dressed in black carrying swords leading the souls of the dead to the afterlife, and the inherent wrongness of people coming back to life in the context of how the afterlife works in Bleachland.

[detectivetroll]

Player: Bri
Character: Nick Burkhardt
Reason for Echo: Canon parallel - having dinner with Monroe in this WIP thread, complete with wine, jazz music, and awkward conversation about Echoes and weird things
What is returned: The canon memory of having dinner with Monroe, complete wine, dim lighting, jazz music, and awkward conversation about weird things


Reason for Echo: Canon parallel - buying Monroe a nice bottle of wine in return for Monroe going to Tamara and Emmanuel's meeting
What is returned: The canon memory of buying Monroe an expensive bottle of wine in return for doing some snooping

[enrages]

Player: linda
Character: karkat vantas | karson valenti
Reason for Echo: candy going missing and breaking that news to the network
What is returned: in canon, karkat feels ridiculously responsible for everything that happens-- from the trolls dying to giving the universe cancer. i want karson to get back that ridiculously heavy sense of responsibility for everything ever.

[metalbent]

Player: Lucy!
Character: Sophie Bai/Toph Beifong.
Reason for Echo: Talking to Miles about his magic water abilities.
What is returned: She knew a girl with magic water abilities! Katara. Katara was the first waterbender Toph had ever met, given most were wiped out/in the North Pole, and this is the first magic water person Sophie's met. She'd only get Katara's name/possibly friendly feelings.

[healspec]

Player: The Guindo
Character: Ravindra Savarna
Reason for Echo: This thread where Ravi affectionately calls Alex an idiot during a joking conversation about Ravi (not) being handsome. It's the topic + word use that creates the canon parallel.
What is returned: The knowledge that he used to call Alex an idiot as a term of endearment pretty regularly and in a maybe more-than-friendly way

[carolinesays]

Player: Yubi
Character: Caroline/GLaDOS
Reason for Echo: Reviewing the experiment footage for this, when they come in
What is returned: The layout of the first five test chambers, seen from a camera's-eye view -- just a memory of all these clean white rooms with buttons and platforms and boxes. She doesn't remember the portal gun or what the glowy oval things are yet, just that the rooms were for testing something.

[mood2wiingiing]

Player: Kya
Character: Sollux
Reason for Echo: The gdoc he was linked to, specifically "Some asshole named "Sollux" who types like a ginormous tool"
What is returned: typiing liike a giinormous tool

[theearth]

Echo approved! Please add relevant data to your info post - and we'd also like to request that you place any text posts in which Soren will apply the extent Sollux's toolii2h typing habits behind a cut for ease of viewing on scrolling through posts; optionally but also greatly appreciated would be inclusion of a troll text permissions-checking post on his journal.

Thank you for compliance - and apologies for any inconvenience!

[shortspoken]

Player: Louise
Character: Annabel Lyons
Reason for Echo: Protecting her weak point against Karson's attacks. I can't believe I'm doing this.
What is returned: While in her titan form, Annie was seen to protect her weak point - the nape of her neck - by cupping a hand over it, just as she did with her nose in the thread linked above. This seems really tenuous and silly if you're not canon-familiar, so I should point out that when she first does so this is a huge deal. She's the first titan the scouts ever see doing such a thing, and it's one of the telltale signs that she's far too intelligent to be a normal titan.
ANYWAY. I'd like Annabel to remember doing this, and by extension remember that titans' weak spots were at the backs of their necks.

Reason for Echo: Ryan talking about that one time he got squished, nbd.
What is returned: The memory that oops, yes, she was the one who did that. She and Ryan already worked it out from context, but I'd like her to actually get the memory of it herself: squishing Reiner, him writing something on her hand and cutting his way out.
She won't remember the exact words on her hand (as they're in Post Apocalyptic Anime German or something idfk), but she'll remember that they were directions to a thing she was looking for.

(one day you will get echo requests from me that are literally just black solid spoiler bars
and when you highlight them
they will reveal more black spoiler bars)

[doomedtheworld]

Player: Nick
Character: Vanessa
Reason for Echo: This post where she figures out she can use steel to jump around to high places.
What is returned: Vin's tendency to "perch" and gravitate towards high places. She won't be creeping among the rafters or chilling on gargoyles like Batman yet but she'll do a few odd things like sit on the back of the chair instead of the seat and she'll be much more comfortable with heights in general.

[dorkytracksuit]

Player: Aki
Character: Dasraa
Reason for Echo: Aradia told him about the different blood colors.
What is returned: Remembering the rebellion he was part of. No specific memory, just a realization about the hierarchy and fighting against it.

[dorkytracksuit]

Alternatively if it has to be a specific memory then him talking to people in the rebellion at one of signless meetings. trying to convince them to rebel.
