Echo Requests (retired)
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.

Character: Winter Adamas | Rikka Hishikawa
Reason for Echo: [Plot] The pink lights in the sky.
Type and tier: T1: Item
What is returned: Rikka's Cure Lovies, a small golden pin she and the other DDPC girls have. By itself it's largely uninteresting; the pins effectively "choose" a Cure candidate, and they seem to briefly drown in them the first time they're given one. It also has the power to protect its bearer from certain specific ailments caused by Selfishness; namely, it prevents infection by a certain ailment the enemy group gains access to mid-season. Oh, and it's the "key" that lets Rikka transform into Cure Diamond via Raquel. Winter at best will suspect it from past Echoes, and Raquel can't assume the correct form yet anyway. That comes later.
Reason for Echo: [Recurrence] When the fainting spells start later this week, Winter will be experiencing something not unlike a recent event in Rikka's canon - the bad guys develop a tree that plants seeds of selfishness in people's Psyches (hearts), initially causing them to fall into a coma, but later (theoretically) causing them to turn into the monsters Rikka and her team normally fight en masse. The team narrowly evades this fate, as a side effect of a last-minute powerup. Winter herself will be trying to shake her classmates back to full consciousness, to no avail.
Type and tier: T2: Memory + Memory
What is returned: Winter gets two related memories out of this, which are so close I'd call them a single memory, but they're long enough (and notable enough) I'm going to count it as two. She and the rest of her team are watching a report on the TV about mass fainting in town, which turns serious as the girls watch people collapse on the screen, including the reporter, cameraman, and studio newscaster; they're able to see odd black orbs enter the victims just before they collapse. There's a thud behind them; they'd been just about to sit down to dinner with their collective parents and guardians, but all of them have fallen into comas, and no amount of shaking or calling wakes them. While Mana's worrying over her mother, one of the black orbs tries to hit her, which Rikka notices far too late to do anything about... and then her Lovies shines, she shines, and the orb pops. The girls immediately conclude the Loview protected her... and that's all Winter gets to see. She doesn't get any knowledge of what the orbs were or who the other girls were; Rikka was far too busy worrying over her mother to pay them much attention.
Reason for Echo: [Plot] Tuning Towers investigation.
Type and tier: T1: Pet > Power
What is returned: Guess who's going to be able to fly again? Raquel's getting his flight back, and with it his independent movement capacity in general. While he prefers to stay with Winter (as his original did with Rikka), sometimes circumstances dictate he be somewhere either, either to investigate something while she's tied up (usually at school), or when she's afraid he might slip up and betray his decided lack of being inanimate. Winter is much less inclined to let him go off on his own, but if the need arises, she'll let him go off somewhere. Raquel has no way to communicate with Winter while he's away, short of finding a way to dial and use a phone somewhere (or going through another network member). If he tries to leave Locke (or rather, the effect radius from the Tuning Towers), he'll be unsummoned and reappear by Winter's side shortly thereafter, severely disoriented. Anything he was holding drops to the ground, so he can't use this as an out for fetch quests. Raquel also can't carry heavy weights; at most, we're talking a few pounds, maybe fifteen or twenty if he's really pushing it. Raquel's walk speed is about half Winter's; his fly speed is about twice Winter's walk speed; it's magical flight, so there's no visual or auditory tell he's in motion, other than that he's moving, but he still can't go through a storm without either getting blown away or possibly needing repairs. All this information will go into a separate panel on Winter's info sheet for him. (At some point, a certain Echo for Raquel will probably necessitate I turn him into a discrete character combo-apped with Winter. That... will be later.)

In regards to the second, however, resemblance between the proposed trigger and the events that'd be shown in the Echo might not be quite enough for a Tier 2, as civilians will not be fainting rather than spacing out - nonetheless they'll be becoming less responsive/reactive. Might we request choice between or simplification of the two memories requested for a Tier 1?
