Echo Requests

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.

As of November 2014, Characters who have had their echoes for over a year can cause echoes in other people This is involuntary, cannot be controlled by either character and doesn't require a recurrence. The receiving character must have 15 echoes or less; they must be physically close to the other character; only tier 1 echoes can be caused that way; one cannot give themselves echoes. Both players must, of course, have consented to this oocly. A character can receive echoes through this mechanic no more than 10 times, and only up to 3 times from the same character. If requesting one of these echoes, please indicate the character from which the echo was received.

Reason for Echo: What caused the Echo, whether it be by a plot-related trigger, a person 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.

Reason for Echo: Plot echo - ghost encounter

Player: Abby
Character: Lucas
Reason for Echo: Rakka talking about having missing memories.
Type and tier: Tier 1, memory
What is returned: Philip also has missing memories, his entire life history and his name as well. He'll remember the time, early on in the series, when the concept of family pushed him up against one of those holes in his memory, where he was unable to remember anything important about his family except that he believed himself to have had one at some point.

peacefulwinter: (What a wonderful idea...)

[personal profile] peacefulwinter 2014-07-23 02:40 am (UTC)(link)
Player: MaxSalsa
Character: Winter Adamas | Rikka Hishikawa
Reason for Echo: Winter and Lazarus talking about Rikka; did Rikka love Mana? Was the reverse true? She hasn't really... thought about it before. She was kind of trying not to, but it's coming up anyway.
Type and tier: Tier 2: Item + Memory
What is returned: A memo on a small sheet of note paper, in Japanese. Winter's Japanese isn't quite up to snuff yet for proper written communication, but there are a number of words she's made a point of being able to read. Japanese, as a language, has several ways to express "like" and "love", and many of them fall in ambiguous places... except for one or two. When Mana goes away for a King of Student Council Presidents tournament of some kind (which is a trap, but that's another Echo), she leaves several memos behind to direct Rikka in finishing the large stack of work that needs to be done in her absence. A couple are reminders, at least one is an apology. And one's a message that basically works out to Mana having complete faith in Rikka, and leaves "I love you, Rikka!" at the end. The word she uses is "aishiteru", which is all the way on the "love" end of the scale and is not ambiguous whatsoever.

She'll also remember when she first found it; Rikka was in the student council room with Alice, trying to dig through the massive backlog, and they find several of these notes over the course of the afternoon (the memory seeming to skip a few minutes between each note), and then they find this last one. Rikka reads it carefully, and just seems to pause for a moment, looking out the window wistfully, and one thought Rikka didn't dare voice will clearly come across: "I love you too, Mana." The memory will end there.

Character: Kevin Steele | Chrono Harlaown, [personal profile] truthcharted
Reason for Echo: Oh hi, Natalie. Or should I say, Nanoha Takamachi. He's meeting her here for the first time.
Type and tier: Tier 1: Memory
What is returned: The name Nanoha Takamachi, and the title Ace of Aces. Aaaaand the knowledge that she was under his command at some point in some kind of military organization he can't quite reach for the name of. Maybe in another Echo, perhaps.
Edited (TOTALLY GOT THOSE WORDS BACKWARDS, oops. Fixed wording in the second Echo.) 2014-07-23 02:41 (UTC)

Player: Claire
Character: Shelia Go/Shego
Reason for Echo: Sheila goes to her first Karaoke party since she was a kid
Type and tier: Memory, tier 1
What is returned: Pretty much this scene, where she's dragged to Friday night karaoke with her boss. And accidentally inspires him to become a hip hop star.
espigeonage: (🏃We'll walk slowly)

Player: Joysweeper
Character: Julien/Yuuya
Reason for Echo: Getting tattooed was difficult - Julien's skin is very thin and soft now, so the experience was excruciating. He stuck it out because he's stubborn and really wanted a particular phrase on him.

Yuuya's got really high pain tolerance! He pays little attention when wounded, even badly, if there's someone he's trying to protect.
Type and tier: Mental, Tier One.
What is returned: Some of Yuuya's pain tolerance. If he has something to focus on, he can stand much worse than without a focus.

Reason for Echo: Swimming while birdy. He's only been in shallower water since changing. Yuuya is a fast and powerful swimmer despite being a bird, mentioning rescuing drowning swimmers.
Type and tier: ...Ability? Tier One.
What is returned: Ability to swim really well, mostly through using his wings.

Reason for Echo: Fiddling with the computerized security system at the Stark house. Yuuya's a master of unauthorized access and can make yet more advanced systems sit up and beg.
Type and tier: Ability, Tier One.
What is returned: Ability to manipulate computerized security systems with ease.
mistakesmakeuswhoweare: (Cleavage Ahoy)

[personal profile] mistakesmakeuswhoweare 2014-07-25 04:56 am (UTC)(link)
Player: Ardruna
Character: Isabela
Reason for Echo: Isabela mentioned owning a boat before moving to Locke and Ariel asked if she was "Captain" or "Skipper," and Isabela responded that she preferred "Captain."
Type and tier: Memory, Tier One
What is returned: Her title/position of "Captain." Isabela literally introduces herself as "Captain Isabela" upon meeting Hawke, and in the comics declares that she "is many things, but a damned good captain."
notbloody: (Default)

[personal profile] notbloody 2014-07-25 02:09 pm (UTC)(link)
Player: Kira

Character: Thorir /Thorin
Reason for Echo: Host-like presence/plot echo
Type and tier: Mental, Tier 1
What is returned: A part of Thorin's personality, specifically the part where he in 90% of the cases really doesn't see a point with being polite by hiding his disapproval/contempt/etc and the like. He'll still be able to, he'll just be much less likely to see a reason for doing it.

Reason for Echo: Seeing Hjalti in hospital after he got beaten up by the mafia and talking with him about how he battled them.
Type and tier: Mental, Tier 1
What is returned: He already remembers flashes of Dwalin in battle, and he'll now remember why he remembers so much of him in battle: Dwalin was his right-hand-dwarf (which didn't mean that he was constantly around him or that he was necessarily his adviser, but he was his right-hand-dwarf). And that part of this position was that he got into fights with people at Thorin's side and afterwards looked a bit beaten up (while surviving stuff without much injury that would have felled others).


Character: Floweregg
Reason for Echo: Plot echo/encounter with an altered mafia member
Type and tier: Ability, Tier 2
What is returned: The ability to understand and speak, write and read all types of Swedish that were used in the last 500 years, all on the level of a child.

most awkward echo request ever

[personal profile] sylvanguard 2014-07-26 05:36 am (UTC)(link)
Player: Lills
Character: Tauriel/ Ariel Boisvert
Reason for Echo: Ariel decides to take their relationship to the next level after this conversation

wirsinddiejager: (sir yes sir)

[personal profile] wirsinddiejager 2014-07-27 08:03 pm (UTC)(link)
Player: Aave
Character: Alan
Reason for Echo: Misunderstanding Octavia's talking about Spidermom to mean that her mom has somehow turned into a titan, paralleling an offscreen scene in canon where he learns about Connie's mom turning into a titan.
Type and tier: Tier 1, memory
What is returned: The fact that Connie's mother and everyone else in his village turned into titans and that presumably all titans were originally people.
