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.

Character: Winter Adamas | Rikka Hishikawa
Reason for Echo: Pink lights over Lapland, viewed in person!
Type and tier: T2 (free): Ability + Memory
What is returned: Winter, as Cure Diamond, is getting back her improved control of ice in the form of being able to make things out of ice - objects, platforms, and so on. She's also getting back a memory of Rikka doing this, when she formed a staircase of ice to descend safely into the inside of what looks like a glacier. Out of nothing, a spiral staircase of opaque ice forms down, and Diamond starts on her way down while calling for Cure Heart. The memory doesn't cover much, since it's a pretty long way down, but it communicates the flow of control needed to refine her ice to that degree.
Reason for Echo: Pink lights over Christmas Island, on television!
Type and tier: T2 (free): Memory + Memory
What is returned: The identity of Alice Yotsuba, heiress, friend of Rikka, and civilian identity of Cure Rosetta. Mostly what she looks like and a few base mannerisms - extremely polite, soft-spoken, will of steel, protector above all else. She'll also see a memory of the first time Alice transformed, starting when Heart and Diamond are in trouble against a boombox Selfish, which has wrapped them up in magnetic tape and is using sound waves to stop their communication and break their focus. A pink limo screeches to a stop on a higher part of the plaza the girls are fighting in, quickly letting Alice out, who stands and watches what's going on, before taking an enigmatic pose on the overlook, and holding out a hand to Lance. Winter can't quite catch what's being said - Diamond's ears are ringing and there's some distance between them - but there's a swell of relief to see her there. From there, it turns into the familiar transformation sequence she's already seen, yielding Cure Rosetta as the memory ends.
