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 - Blood Keys team combat with Bakura, Annie, and Russel; December 11th.
Type and tier: T2, Memory + Memory
What is returned: A conversation early in the school year between Mana and Rikka, regarding Mana's recent awakening as Cure Heart, that quickly devolves into a discussion of the (apparently popular with fourteen-year-olds) Oscar Wilde short story "The Happy Prince", with the ending notably left out. Specifically, Rikka summarizes the idea of the Happy Prince, a gold-leaf-coated statue with gems in his sword and eyes, giving everything of himself to those less fortunate, and a swallow that tries to dissuade him from giving so much of himself but eventually gives in and makes the statue's deliveries of his gold leaf and gems to the poor. (Eventually, the Prince keeps the swallow too late into the winter, and she dies at his feet; his lead heart cracks in two at the sight. This isn't relevant for this Echo, though Winter will probably find it out when she hunts down the story... assuming the Oscar Wilde work that it's sourced from still exists in Locke City. A children's book version also exists in Dokidoki canon, for another character to find and read, with the ending intact.)
Coming out of the story, Rikka tells Mana that the pinkette is just like the Happy Prince, and Mana half-jokingly tells Rikka that that would make Rikka the swallow. That memory ends with the image of a red-faced Rikka objecting on principle, and another memory follows: it doesn't seem to be much later in subjective time, maybe a day or two. Cure Heart is standing before Rikka, apparently having just transformed; the shock is plain on Rikka's face. But one spoken line comes through from Rikka, strong with emotion and resolve: "Please, let me be your swallow!" Cure Heart looks back at Rikka with a shocked expression, before it shifts into a confident grin, and an "okay". That's all Winter sees from this one.
[Effective knowledge gains: cementing that Mana is Cure Heart, and the prince and swallow relationship between Mana and Rikka, as declared, because it's played for spectacular ham aside from the actual descriptive value.]
