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.

The trigger scene admittedly hasn't happened yet (there's a thread started for it on the scene I posted, but Anthony-mun hasn't replied yet), but it involves someone under Lyall's protection being injured while in a precarious position and then healed. I don't know yet how badly. There is going to be an echo on Anthony's part too (or it may have already been requested, I didn't check) that I believe gives him some damage resistance or self-repair.

The original scene is part of Biffy's rescue at the end of Blameless. He's been in a prison under the Thames for a few wees, and Lyall and his Alpha rescue him and get him back up to the surface. There's a brief firefight, and Biffy is shot and dying by the time the trouble is over with. Lyall convinces his Alpha to try and turn him to save his life, and the turning works, healing Biffy and making him immortal. The connection is someone under Lyall's protection who he cares about being injured (and of course Lyall is likely to panic and think he's going to die, because he's a biology teacher, not a 300 year old werewolf X3 ), and then healed again.

If that isn't enough of a connection, I'll withdraw the echo request. I just doubt I'm likely to get anything closer to this canon moment :)

Okay, so I talked this over with Anduin and we agree that while there are strong parallels for "someone under Lyall's protection" getting grievously injured, the healing part is rather more tenuous because it seems like, from Anthony's request, that it's going to be more like damage resistance than healing and it's an entirely internal rather than external force responsible (i.e., no one is stepping in to heal Anthony with or without Lyall's intervention).

From this perspective, we feel as though it would be best if the Echo memory were limited to just the part where Biffy (that name I can't) is seriously injured and Lyall fears for his life. If that would be doable, please let us know.

Alternately, I wouldn't doubt that there's a chance you can get a stronger parallel later down the line. After all, combat stuff has been seen in the past to ramp up now and again, and with healer characters around... well, you never know.

Huh, I guess I misunderstood the intent of the scene. I was under the impression that another character in the scene was healing him. Yeah, that changes the situation quite a bit, so this works better! I'll save the rest for later, and keep the werewolf bite aspect still a mystery :)

Thanks much, I'll go put this up to my info page.

[theearth]

Awesome! We'll go with that, then, and... you already know/are doing the info post thing, so I guess that's it.

You're very welcome, and thank you for being so understanding.

Indeed, if I may I thought that I'd clear up that in the original plan, Joshua Christopher/Joshua Simmons would've gotten to use his healing powers for the situation, but Haley seems a bit busy. Apologies for the confusion.

[theearth]

That does clarify things. Thank you.
