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.

[lackinginfaith]

Player: Jisu
Character: Caren
Reason for Echo: Being told by a bouncy, optimistic blonde that she should join the main group because of ~destiny and hope~.
What is returned: A memory of Caren rejecting Lucia's invitation to join her team and saying that, even if they all have to be together for a certain purpose, she doesn't trust them enough to go along with this. Kari won't recognize Lucia, Hanon, or Rina, nor will she know why she didn't like them or remember anything about their being princesses or needing to summon Aqua Regina.

Thanks a bunch!

[jests]

Player: Laura
Character: Loki
Reason for Echo: this comment re: forming a superhero team and their outfit(s) | the plot and point of the avengers was the formation of the titular superhero team, and loki's actions throughout the movie (and prior, given events in thor and nick fury's own admission as to why s.h.i.e.l.d had originally looked into the programme) lead to it, costumes and team and all, forming by the end.
What is returned: "The Avengers. That's what we call ourselves, sort of like a team — 'Earth's mightiest heroes' type thing."

THAT SINGLE LINE.

[healspec]

Player: The Guindo
Character: Ravindra Savarna
Reason for Echo: Watching the action replay of the sage's speech; it's linked to in the IC-FAQ which was thrown at him in his first post. He did this on the 26th and the speech was the 15th so I believe that is under the wire for getting an echo from it? Totally understandable if this is declined, though!
What is returned: The memory of his teenage self touching Alm's sun-pendant to become a Templar. No knowledge to put it in context, just the image of himself reaching out to it and a combined sense of hope and dread that makes it clear this was somehow life-alteringly important.

I apologize for the wait - the first Echo is approved!

However, in regards to the second, is their a particular detail in regards to mention of the Gems of Earth that would serve as a "reminder" of Laplace's Box apart from their being items of significance?

[theearth]

Both Echoes approved! Please add relevant data to your info post.

I thought perhaps given the way the Sage emphasized finding them as a means for keeping back the old ones, it may trigger a canon recurrence given Laplace's Box is seen as the one thing that may free spacenoids and earthnoids from their conflict.

If that's too much of a stretch, no worries! I just threw it in because it seemed similar to me but I can see how it is and yet isn't enough at the same time. :)

[teuton]

Player: linda
Character: prussia
Reason for Echo: with the whole 4th of july thing, and people trolling karkat with shittier national anthems than the prussian one. unfortunately, it'd be playercesting if i tagged the post, but julia probably saw it anyway.
What is returned: memories of this song

[twopercent]

Player: Skai
Character: Raiden
Reason for Echo: Karson's diatribes about government control and people being sheep: ie http://savetheearth.dreamwidth.org/97335.html?thread=7856183#cmt7856183
What is returned: Knowledge of the the Patriots and their world-controlling AI systems in Raiden's canon. (see subheading "The Manhattan Incident" for some of Raiden's direct involvement with the Patriots' AIs).

[playerspooker]

Player: Wingus
Character: Lina Inverse/Linda Ortiz
Reason for Echo: Discussing the prospect of taking someone she doesn't get along with and setting them on fire is somewhat parallel to her tendencies to throw magic around at people that cross her in-canon.
What is returned: A miniscule fragment of magical power, including the spell Dil Brand, a mostly-flash but little substance spell that does stun damage at most to people and a moderate amount of damage to property. The small amount of power would limit it to only being used once per day.

[coulrage]

Player: Xep
Character: Gunther/Gamzee
Reason for Echo: This lovely little panic attack.
What is returned: The memory of clubbing Nepeta to death - and enjoying it. He will not remember who Nepeta is, where they were or that they were trolls; just that there was a girl and he killed her for no apparent reason.

Am I a horrible person yet.

[talktothedoll]

Player: Airdra
Character: Mort Yokugawa/Kiyoto Maki
Reason for Echo: Combination of seeing Shuji's Taka Candroid and hearing Shuji's voice.
What is returned: He'll be struck by the inexplicable sense that he does not like this person, as well as the sense that this person will ruin all of Mort's plans. He won't know that he and Eiji were enemies back in canon and Eiji was able to thwart Maki's plans to end the world; he'll just have the negative sentiment that goes along with that sort of thing.

[sweetas]

Player: Pen
Character: Camille
Reason for Echo: A psychotic, Vermini-infested deer is about to come barreling through the front window of the cafe where she works. Occurring in this thread.
What is returned: Memories of the Folk, the term given to all supernatural beings in her world. Essentially she'll remember that things like dragons, kitsune, domovoi, fauns, centaurs and so on are all real and that they're referred to as Folk. She also remember the common human warning in her world "Trust not your eyes," a reference to the ability of most Folk to disguise themselves as humans or animals.

[professorwolf]

Player: Gail
Character: Professor Lyall
Reason for Echo: Interaction with a vermini in the scene with Alex
What is returned: His lover's journal, in place of the blank one he bought. It will mostly be blank as well, with only two entries in it at this time, both fairly early on and revealing nothing particularly incriminating (clothing choices, a trip to the theater, and a record of a conversation with a friend about a pair of socialite ladies of their acquaintance). The entries and book will be dated. Further entries will appear with later echoes :)

[theearth]

It seems like it's just a touch too vague, yeah, sorry. Plus, getting two Echoes from essentially one trigger isn't all that likely as well, save for during circumstances that are particularly... powerful.

[hopediesalone]

Player: Zero
Character: Protoman | Raul Light
Reason for Echo: Seeing Chris's creepy black-and-red robot eyes on this post.
What is returned: His creepy black-and-red robot eyes.

[entertainaplanb]

I completely understand if this one gets shot down; it's small and useless on purpose. (It's also headcanon that she'd have known this, but I balanced that by picking something from canon that would have plausibly been around in Rebecca's time.) ANYWAY.

Player: Jill
Character: Becky Samson
Reason for Echo: Karson's AMERICAAAA FUCK YEAH Fourth of July post, and her discussion on the thread about historical accuracy.
What is returned: Memory of the properties of Ben Franklin's lightning rod, with absolutely no additional context.

[searchforpeace]

No worries!
