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.

Is it alright if we put these on hold until actual mine thread occurs? I don't have an issue approving them as is, but since we've yet to even organize groups yet, it may indeed be planning a bit too far.

[scramasax]

Of course! And I'm glad that they're in themselves no concern, especially the rather wordily-described and probably somewhat picky first one. Shall I take 'em down for now, save, and repost later, or will that not be necessary?

[theearth]

You can leave this as is! Just send me a ping (this is Deus speaking, so either to this account or one of my forms of contact) when it actually happens, and I'll stamp an approval here. The only reason I'm not approving it now is because plot threads can sometimes go unexpected directions, so it's just to save us both the trouble of potential retconning later down the road.

[scramasax]

Oh, all the way understood! Apologies for the trouble and thank you!

[scramasax]

I hope that this is acceptable in method and in timing! The After School Numbers Club intend to explore the mines on their own tomorrow (without encountering the Sage, of course). Requesting clearance on the first Echo!

And I apologize for the waffling - the second Echo is subject to change. I'll indeed know better than to request Echoes distantly in advance in the future, believe me. X_X

But in regards to settling on that second one, if it isn't a bother for me to ask here, is it possible for Echoes to be delayed - for example, could a reincarnate see the Sage but not receive the effects of an Echo for a few hours later? Or would it only be possible if at all depending on the nature of the Echo?

[theearth]

Okay, I'm sorry, but can I ask for just a bit more detail? Namely, in what way is this a canon recurrence? If this has a totally obvious answer, feel free to let me know so that I can hang my head and feel stupid.

As for the second Echo delay question, I'll just quote the Echo page: "It's up to the player if the character receives it right at the start of their involvement, or at the end, or in the middle of the action. Or even a week afterwards." So, yes, you can delay the Echo effects if you wish.

[scramasax]

Absolutely, and don't - I do apologize for lack of clarity or clear sense on my part! Mentally, I suppose I'd just framed the grounds as blacking out due to injury - getting back up after his health is depleted is a part of his gameplay in canon, but it does canonically happen to him at the very least once. If that's too tenuous, alternatively, stabbing himself with his own sword - but that's a potential and non inevitable occurrence, and in-canon he does it deliberately out of curiosity on what if anything the damage is, as he's already very undead at that point.

And oh dear I've been missing that this entire time. X_X Settled for the future, then, and thank you!

[theearth]

Stabbing himself with his own sword, what a smart boy. But yes, sounds good to me. Approved and please update your info post with the relevant information.

You're welcome. I've been thinking of putting stuff like that in bold, really, just so that it pops out more for people reading. It's hard to see as is.
