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.

[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.

[neonnerd]

Player: Bri
Character: Benjamin Ratchet
Reason for Echo: Julien mentioning that his other self wasn't human, but that he liked them and wanted to protect them
What is returned: The feeling that it was the same for his other self

[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

[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.

[metalbent]

Player: Lucy
Character: Sophie Bai/Toph Beifong
Reason for Echo: Chatting with Vin about Vin's magic metal powers.
What is returned: Recollection that metalbending is a thing, and the knowledge that it was supposed to be impossible, until it was invented at some point while she was alive. Not aware she's the one who invented it, just an understanding of it existing/what it does/gdi where are my magic water powers. Sophie's annoyance at not getting cool superpowers continues.

Memory of being part of a rebellion against a hierarchal system will do acceptably well if it'd still be your preference! And with that Echo approved - please update your info post accordingly.

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!

[mood2wiingiing]

I will make sure any truly obnoxious typing is behind cuts, no problem! Thanks a lot c:

[stealinghats]

Player: Lavvy
Character: Victor/Vaati
Reason for Echo: Sneaking in my free water echo...
What is returned: A tiny bit of his shapeshifting powers. More specifically: eyes. As in he can sprout random creepy eyes from anywhere on his body, as large or as small as he wants (though that might take some practice and why would he even want to practice this besides learning how to not do it ever).

He can see through them like normal eyes, which is probably weird as fuck. They also serve as big obvious weakpoints because no one likes getting punched in the eye.

[skycutter]

Player: Trap
Character: Miles/Hope
Reason for Echo: Sophie calling his abilities "magic".
What is returned: A feeling of unease about magic in general. When Hope first started out as a l'Cie, he really didn't like his new magic powers and was happy to let the adults do all the fighting for him in the beginning. Miles for his part never thought of it as "magic" because he's a science kid and science =/= magic.


Reason for Echo: The Echo GDoc linked to him. Specifically the entry with the images of the red rose crystal and the sword.
What is returned: Lightning. Basically her name, real name (Claire Farron) and that she was/is his best goddamn friend and mother-sister-figure and she's the best damn thing ever okay. Because he's seen that crystal loads of times as Hope and while the sword looks strange, it is unmistakably a gunblade, which is Lightning's signature weapon.


Reason for Echo: Again that echo gdoc. Specifically the entry about a jungle with monsters.
What is returned: The Sunleth Waterscape. Not the name, but what it looks like, that it is indeed full of monsters, and that he'd been there before. Hope had been there on a school trip, even if he never visited it in-game. And yes, it is indeed full of monsters, but school officials probably led the kids through a safe area with none.


Reason for Echo: Again that echo gdoc. The entry of a pearl coming out of someone's body compounded with the sight of the rose crystal.
What is returned: Ability to manifest his eidolith. It comes out of the back of his left wrist. He wont know what the hell it is or what to do with it, and it'd be useless if he tried doing things with it anyway.

[espigeonage]

Player: Joysweeper
Character: Julien/Yuuya
Reason for Echo: Aaron forgetting while Krystal's on hiatus, becoming more like he was pre-game. Still considering Julien a friend, but quite suddenly keeping him more at arm's length and not remembering that trust they had.

It's a canon recurrence. Yuuya wasn't allowed to live nearby when Sakuya was growing up for fear of tainting him, but he visited every few months. When he was very young Sakuya was sweet and open, but as his station got to him Sakuya withdrew and became increasingly hostile. It felt very sudden to Yuuya and was an influence on his personal philosophy.
What is returned: This memory, "I didn't do it so he'd love me".

Basically it's the information that Yuuya has a brother who is beginning to be influenced to hate him, that Yuuya is not broadly liked and does not like himself but believes he has integrity, there's some horrible thing he did to keep his brother alive that he must keep secret, and there is hope.

[elarmintary]

Player: linda
Character: armin arlert | adam arnold
Reason for Echo: sneaking in a free water echo....
What is returned: Armin can see a shitty situation and come up with a damn good plan pretty quickly. I want Adam to gain just a smidgen of that thinking skill back.

[eras]

Player: Lucy
Character: Aria/Aradia Megido
Reason for Echo: Canon recurrence of the cast mate convo variety. :T This conversation with the Psiionic, mainly the last tag.
What is returned: The information that a long, long time ago in a galaxy far, far away there was indeed a rebellion led by some guy called the Signless. It definitely feels like history over personal knowledge, though.
