Player: MaxSaslsa Character: Winter Adamas | Rikka Hishikawa Reason for Echo: Plot: Pink lights over Tokyo Type and tier: T2: Items + Memory What is returned: A large wooden crate (coming about to Winter's hip) full of Miracle Bouquet Lights; while we never see the actual Lights en masse in her movie specifically, just about every other appearance has them either in such a crate in a large quantity, or created from thin air as the plot demands because there wasn't budget to show the crate. Miracle Lights, in general, are pink plastic sticks that are about twice the length of an AA battery, and about as wide. The tip is clear plastic, with some kind of decoration; these have a small bouquet of flowers. Wave the Light and wish with all your might to help the heroes that are attempting to save you life and/or world (normally the Precure, but in this setting...), and you can grant a little bit of power through your wishes.
Functionally, the Miracle Bouquet Lights are going to be a way for non-combatants, and civilians, to influence the outcome of the war a tiny little bit. After discussion, the Lights can be used to support anyone, not just the Precure, and since they're not going to see any use until the invasion starts, they have basically infinite reach within the Echo barriers. Think of the Numbered person you're rooting for, and wave the stick. That's it. The Lights don't technically have a cooldown, but in general, they don't give any more power when they're already giving power.
In canon, a whole city's worth (a whole world's worth?) of Lights gives the Cure team of the year new powers, usually a new transformation, and restores their vitality after they've usually been pretty badly beaten up. The votes here for "who to help" are going to be a little more spread out, so the Lights here will mostly supply revitalization of physical and mental energy, and a burst of speed and power for a little bit. The energy is not at all subtle when it's coming in; it's bright pink, and you glow while under its effect. It doesn't last terribly long, but it's generally long enough to make a big difference. Distributing Lights across the barriers is going to be the hard part, of course, but Winter will find a way.
Winter's going to also be getting back a memory of what these are, and what they're used for. That comes from right at the end of the Dokidoki movie, as the girls are largely wiped out, and Mana's about ready to fall but not prepared to give up. (Canon provides that Mana, who is in this mess in the first place to recover her grandmother's wedding dress, gains the shiny new Engage Mode as Cure Heart. But Cure Diamond isn't Cure Heart, actually engaged or not, so I'm not going to ask for that back. But I'd sure take it if I had a shot. /shakes fist at canon) When it seems like they're going to be wiped out, Rikka feels power flowing into all of them, and it's like she can go on again. And then they all give their remaining power to Cure Heart, and she goes straight to her new overpowered solo super mode, and saves the day. Or, at least, that's the assumption - Winter isn't going to see anything past Mana transforming into Cure Heart Engage Mode.
Reason for Echo: Recurrence: automatic reaction when she first is exposed to vacuum. Technically only triggers while she's at least Super Cure Diamond, since that's when she first gets it, but it should function in any transformed state. Type and tier: T2: Ability + Memory What is returned: Remember that time Cure Diamond flew through space to save Cure Rosetta from being killed by a tree monster trying to wilt the Earth's flowers? Winter's going to. The team was brought into low orbit by a friend of Alice's, after Alice flew in her spaceworthy fighter jet based under her house to space to stop the monster before it could get away with anything. The monster had her on the ropes, until Rikka and the others showed up to help blast it into oblivion.
Conveniently, Cure Diamond's second-tier form is capable of normal function in space; since Diamond doesn't have any way to propel herself without the wings her special forms grant, being able to survive outside atmosphere doesn't actually mean anything because she'll still die of exposure, hunger, or whatever else results from her inability to return to Earth. So Winter will Echo back Diamond's ability to act normally in space, but it'll only really function while she's Super Cure Diamond (or any higher form), or if she was in that form before being shot out of it. So, uh, maybe it would be better for her to just have it always on in case she falls unconscious. I dunno, whichever seems more reasonable.
