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.

It would be best to leave the invisibility limited to Diabound to begin with - but that said, Echo approved! Please add relevant data to your info post.

[shiromadoushi]

So is that a "only Diabound" or "fumble around with it just being Diabound with it a bit before figuring out how to ninja about?"

[theearth]

Only Diabound - apologies for the ambiguous wording!

[shiromadoushi]

Got it! Shenanigans later, then!

[skycutter]

It's completely acceptable. Thank you!

[unwakingwaters]

Player: TealDeer
Character: Maya Aaronson / Aqua
Reason for Echo: THIS STORY SEEMS VERY FAMILIAR
What is returned: Watching Kairi's grandmother tell the story to Kairi.

[struckout]

Player: Anduin
Character: Kallie / Lightning
Reason for Echo: Particularly fiery happenings requiring a DARING ESCAPE, followed by her actually catching the culprits responsible a day or two later (belated mystery plot shenanigans).
What is returned: Part of Lightning's inexplicable gymnastics skills. She'll be oddly light on her feet from now on, with a just short of supernatural sense of balance... and the ability to jump over things and backflip with a lot more ease than most people. It may take her a while to fully realize / get a proper handle this, however.

Reason for Echo: Guzzling tainted tap water just like everyone else.
What is returned: The memory of strolling up to a PSICOM grunt, handing over her weapon, and insisting she be put on the train to be "Purged"- seen here. Just her conversation with the man up to going and getting in line, plus a sense of her desperate/turbulent/determined emotions at the time. No other context. 8Db

[ursoreckless]

Player: Alec
Character: Shou Chinen/Sho
Reason for Echo: drugged water plot
What is returned: He gets back his Mallepa street accent which is a weird combination of Japanese, Chinese and Taiwanese. That includes slurring words, the use of yakazu slang, and a dash of 'are you messing with me' growl. It's not that noticeable by non-Asian people, though his English will suffer a slight thickening of his accent because of it.

[destinedforrock]

Player: Blue
Character: Cinderella (Rarity)
Reason for Echo: Tainted water consumption.
What is returned: The geode that the breaking-open of which triggered the reveal of Rarity's cutie mark; in tact it looks like nothing but a large rock, about twice her height and as wide as she is long across - it is hollow and lined inside with likely cheap but very colorful crystals, which little Rarity had gotten harvested and implemented into her first extra-special-personal-touch set of costumes.

[carolinesays]

Player: Yubi
Character: Caroline / GLaDOS
Reason for Echo: Gigglewater
What is returned: A memory of the precise storage location and capacity of the neurotoxin canisters, located at the Enrichment Center. This is completely and utterly useless knowledge, except that it was apparently a vital enough detail for her to memorize.

[wordsgate]

Player: Haley
Character: Sam Iwata (Sasame)
Reason for Echo: Tap water!
What is returned: The memory of preting with Himeno. (Which will give him a better understanding of what he did as a knight and also an idea that Takako wasn't the only Pretear...)

[seriallylucky]

Player: Kd7sov
Character: Felix/Fred Vandenberg
Reason for Echo: Tainted water
What is returned: A memory of Gaia Falls, where the ocean spills over the edge of the world. Specifically, he'll remember being on a ship, ocean on one side and a waterfall on the other as far as the eye can see.

[unwakingwaters]

Player: TealDeer
Character: Maya Aaronson
Reason for Echo: Drinkin dat tap water
What is returned: The Bind spell. Bind roots people to the spot for a few seconds. It does not deal damage, and while people's feet are bound, they can still wave their arms and use projectiles.

[schild]

Player: Jan
Character: Ryan Brown
Reason for Echo: Inspiring Alan to take his powers seriously and fight for those who don't have the strength to do the same (This is an echo to a similar conversation Reiner has with Eren, where he talks to Eren about the importance of being a soldier and fulfilling his duty, which in turn inspires him to take his training more seriously.)
What is returned: The memory of the original speech itself, as well as the fact that he was a soldier (though not what kind or anything specific)

Player: Jan
Character: Ryan Brown
Reason for Echo: Bertholdt's name
What is returned: The memory of the fact that he knew someone named Bertholdt, at least as a child.

Player: Jan
Character: Ryan Brown
Reason for Echo: Tap water event
What is returned: Fond memories of his training days, and the fact that he had lots of friends back then. (If you wanna get specific, he remembers long days of training and bonding with the guys at dinner, that sort of thing.) No specific names or faces stick out other than happy feelings.

[toobig]

Player: nor
Character: Bertholdt Fubar
Reason for Echo: Tainted water plot!
What is returned: Bertholdt will remember a distinct feeling of being above others. Seeing humans like they're ants, that sort of "above." Because he's that Colossal Titan, yo. He won't understand why, but he'll also experience a sudden, horrifying thought that he could just crush them.

[eras]

Player: Lucy!
Character: Aria/Aradia Megido.
Reason for Echo: Canon reccurrance! Vriska attempts mind control on her; Vriska has tried it before in canon, without success. Relevant part: "I'm not scared of her. She can't control me. She's tried, it doesn't work."
What is returned: Psychic resistance to spidertroll mind control.

[elfstoned]

Player: Krystal
Character: Aaron Strider
Reason for Echo: Tainted water
What is returned: The silver-star cloak pin that's the super secret symbol of the Rangers of the North

Player: Krystal
Character: Mamoru Nakamura
Reason for Echo: THERE'S SOMETHING IN THE WATER
What is returned: Reflexive, involuntary, violent reactions to sneak attacks, or even sudden movements around him in his sleep. This is most effective when the timing is comedic.

[entertainaplanb]

I actually also have an unanswered comment for the tap-water glop; if this comment makes it too much of a pile-up I'll gladly forgo the second one on that comment. I wasn't expecting this thread to go where it did when I put that request in. Now on to the meat:

Player: Jill
Character: Becky Samson
Reason for Echo: Mamoru mis-nicknaming her; Jack gave Rebecca a nickname and she hated it.
What is returned: She'll be exponentially more likely to insist on people using her full name/introduce herself with her full name.

[reapsthewind]

Player: TealDeer
Character: Christobel Starsky
Reason for Echo: Sabotaging an experimental airplane? When have we done this before?
What is returned: That while Decepticon was the name of Starscream's faction, that Cybertronian is the name of their race (as well as the name of their planet)

iiiif possible also a very brief urge to just blow the damn planes up, which she fortunately makes her Will save against >>;

[allinvein]

Player: Azi
Character: John Mitchell
Reason for Echo: That tasty delicious water.
What is returned: John recalls the following conversation:

An unknown woman: You don't get to be left alone! You don't get a life and lovers and hope! You are poisonous! You are wearing other people's clothes. You are not human.

Mitchell: You have such a redundant view of the world. God made man in His own image. What if that included His rage? And His spite. And His indifference. And His cruelty. What if God made us too? We're all his children, you see. God's a bit of a bastard. Look at us both. Covered in other people's blood and talking about morality. But there's one difference between me and you. You had a choice.

The woman is named Lucy, and while he'll remember her face, he won't recall her name or her importance to him.
