Echo requests

[ourearth]

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.

Please keep in mind that any echo must be triggered by experiencing something for the first time (unless it is a plot echo) and that recurrence echoes may not be gained off-screen: At least the initial trigger must take place in a thread or toplevel. In addition, we always want to hear the answer to three questions: 1. What was echoed? (under "What is returned?"), 2. What triggered the echo? (under "Reason for Echo"), and in case of recurrence echoes 3. Why did it trigger the echo (parallel)? (under "What is returned?").

Is this a memory Echo? If YES, it is approved by default. If NO, please wait for mod approval before playing it out.
Type of Echo: Physical change, power, ability, mental, memory, item or creature.
Link to the ET/DET usage form: ET/DET usage form. (Put "New!" if this is your character's first month in the game.)
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, and strongly resemble a specific event from canon. Picking up a can of baked beans from the store will not cause an Echo if it isn't any different than the times the character has done it before.
What is returned: What the Echo brought back. If the Echo is not a plot echo, please demonstrate clearly why trigger and echo content work as a canon reoccurence.

Reason for Echo: Plot echo from the northern lights
What is returned: Jacob will completely lose all sensation and utility of his already-weakened right arm. This is because it is turning completely cybernetic, albeit with a lifelike covering. One more echo will restore its function; as it is, it does have an increased durability due to its (new/re)build.

What is returned: "The Way of Balance" - Benjiro will be capable of keeping his balance moving through difficult terrain (up, down, or across), and be able to correct his physical orientation when set off kilter (human level acrobatics that will not improve until his strength/speed does)

What is returned: A full deck of sixty that she had made herself (hand drawn and painted) in Eorzea (a deck of sixty is the Eorzean equivalent of a deck of tarot cards). It will require another echo to understand that it's not a tarot deck short 12 cards and how to actually use the deck of sixty.

Are you using a Double Echo Token? No
Reason for Echo: The Northern Lights (plot)
What is returned: The memory of flying, not in a plane or with a parachute, but under his own power, with the sensation that it's probably wings, though he cannot see himself, only an ocean far below him and the occasional cloud above him.

What is returned: A large scar acrost his chest, from the incident of when Kuro struck Yukari down. Not bleeding, but maybe with a sufficient amount of pain, to let him know it's there?

Is this a memory Echo? No since it's far too soon for DETs
Type of Echo: Ability (aka it's the other half of the Processing Speed Echo! 8'D)
Are you using a Double Echo Token? No.
Reason for Echo: Essentially, canon recurrence; the pitch is best explained in this plurk, brought on specifically because of all the effort Walter's putting in to this job, and the question he's (somewhat sarcastically) asking himself here. "Why not put all this effort towards curing cancer instead?" is the key point... since his preincarnation actually did that.
What is returned: Processing speed of Action! Since in both Walter's life and Webmind's, this is Crunch Time, and due to the deadline Walter's imposed on himself this is using absolute focus from both of them. Can't do that if your fingers can't keep up with what you're thinking, y'know? ;)

Is this a memory Echo? Yes
Type of Echo: Memory Echo (knowledge-based skill)
Are you using a Double Echo Token? No
Reason for Echo: Canon reoccurrence, tracking down and capturing small animals closely mirrors how Q'uila was taught the skills she needed to be a Hunter for her clan.
What is returned: It would bring back memories of how to track and hunt animals; from following their tracks to moving silently, and how best to kill animals like sheep for their meat and fur. Sadie would obviously have to practice these skills in order to use them but the Echo would let her remember being taught them the first time around.

Type of Echo: Memory
Are you using a Double Echo Token? Nope
Reason for Echo: Being kicked by a donkey. First time he's ever been hit that hard by an animal.
What is returned: The visceral memory of being punched by a large, genetically-engineered gorilla. He has no idea about the situation, just that. It happened.

Reason for Echo: Benjiro has always had consistent access to food. During summer break, his great aunts will lock him out of the house by accident when they leave for a London trip, and Benjiro is going to spend a few days getting by without much of anything to eat. He has never been this hungry in his life.
What is returned: Sharp teeth that come in one at a time over the next month. Dark Donatello had to fight for food and often went hungry under the control of his master.

Type of Echo: Power and Memory
Are you using a Double Echo Token? Yes
Reason for Echo: Sadie is going o a small trip sailing with her brother thanks to the wonderful hot weather. At one point during this outing Sadie slips, bangs her head and falls overboard and starts drowning. This is a reoccurrence of Canon where Q'uila had to obtain the blessing of the Kojin Beast Tribe so that she could breath underwater and cross the Ruby Sea.
What is returned: The ability to breath unrestricted underwater with no time limit and the memories of how she received the power from the Kojin.

CW: TERFs being TERFS. Also suicide.

Type of Echo: Memory~
Are you using a Double Echo Token? No
Reason for Echo: While at Pride and trying not to attract attention, Walter ends up conversing with a TERF, who initially doesn't realize Walter is trans. While Walter attempts to be diplomatic and potentially change this person's views, once the "well-meaning" bigot catches on things go downhill. Voices raising (and attracting the very-much-unwanted-at-this-point attention), the TERF says that, literally, he does not have the balls-
What is returned: And Walter thus recalls watching Hannah Stark being egged on into killing herself - and that, at the time, he was watching and did nothing. The line in question is a direct quote from the chat log.

Are you using a Double Echo Token? Nope
Reason for Echo: Finding a shark tooth necklace that was essentially a mirror image of one he once owned ~in another life~.
What is returned: A strong, fierce possessiveness of the item- and a nostalgia, as though it was something he had long ago and just now found again.

Is this a memory Echo? No.
Type of Echo: Item
Are you using a Double Echo Token? No.
Reason for Echo: This will be the first time that Sadie will have ventured underground with the basic trappings of a miner and geologist, safety hats and torchlight. Q'uila was a high-ranking member of Eorzea's Mining Guild and so spent a significant portion of her life exploring geology on her adventures and mining underground.
What is returned: Throughout it, all her most precious possession related to this most important job of her's was her field book, a large, bursting at the seams, leather book containing all of her notes on the crystals, ores, minerals, and formations of Eorzea and beyond. The tunnels are exactly the sort of place that Q'uila would have ventured for the express purpose of adding to her extensive notations on the geology of her surroundings. However, this notebook is written in Eorzean script and would require time and effort to start decoding it.

This is for two echoes!

The first one is one I have already proofed, and the next one is a permission request!

Are you using a Double Echo Token? I guess?
Reason for Echo: 1) During the Petting Zoo fiasco, Kirk's Poor Impulse Control and Juvenile Criminal knowledge returns to Pike, almost getting him to steal a rabbit.
2) Kirk's multitude of Allergies slowly return to Pike, including things such as Paracetamol, Apples, and various other mundane and everyday things (and various future things, too, but those won't apply. This is part of fanon interpretation that builds from Canon where Kirk has an allergic reaction to the Melvariun mudfly virus, and as he was born in Space it was suggested that he had quite a few.)

Reason for Echo: Exploring the tunnels under the cliffs. Benjiro has taken a subway before, but never walked through tunnels the way his preincarnation did to travel through the city. Specifically, following a tunnel to a larger open space (cavern).
What is returned: Memory of using the future New York’s sewer system to travel back to the false lair of the dark turtles.

Type of Echo: Memory
Are you using a Double Echo Token? No
Reason for Echo: Recurrence; talking to Walter about superspeed and seriously considering what it would be like to have that.
What is returned: The memory of Luke encountering the android Guri in Xizor's palace and fighting her hand-to-hand, being outmatched, discovering for the first time that he could call on the Force and vastly boost his speed and perception - there's a detail I like where he feels like he's moving and acting at the normal rate but the world is slowed and there's a crackling in his ears - then defeating her, and offering her a hand.

Reason for Echo: Chihiro is going to go to a one-time beginner painting lesson with Sadie.
What is returned: The act of painting will give her a memory echo of Monx making the deck of sixty that Chihiro received during the northern lights. The deck was hand drawn and painted.

Is this a memory Echo? Yes
Type of Echo: Memory
Are you using a Double Echo Token? Nope
Reason for Echo: Getting lost in Exploring the underground tunnels are similar to the smaller and less traveled side tunnels under Tokyo in Tokyo Ghoul.
What is returned: He will regain memory of the tunnels that ghouls built underneath Tokyo that were originally built for training purposes. They are expansive enough to travel through Tokyo, though there are sections that are not well maintained.

Is this a memory Echo? Nope!
Type of Echo: Power
Are you using a Double Echo Token? No.
Reason for Echo: Sky hasn't really been in any setting quite like the underground tunnels before, and while there gets buzzed by squeaking bats in the close space. Luke's been in a lot of different tunnels but being rushed by bats is juuuuust enough like traveling through Qom Jha spaces under Niruan. The Qom Jha are small batlike aliens who communicate through a combination of chirping and weak telepathy; Luke cooperated closely with them and relied extensively on his ability to sense and communicate with people using the Force.

What is returned: Luke has sort of a skill tree for the power he used to understand and talk to the Qom Jha. To comprehend speech he first had to be able to read into minds somewhat, to be able to reach into minds he needed to be able to sense them/sense life.

This means 'hearing' the pattern of life in his vicinity, with the conscious minds of animals being brighter than plants and sentient beings even moreso. He could learn to distinguish sentient beings from animals by their presence, and to sense their location is relation to him. It's very hard to understand much of this input at first, but the more he knows someone and how they think the more their presence might indicate - more or less alert and agitated. It's not mind reading and is much shallower than real empathy, which is a later thing.

The range for now is, I'm not sure, fifty feet?

come to think of it-
Is this a memory Echo? Yes!
Type of Echo: Memory
Are you using a Double Echo Token? No.
Reason for Echo: Listening to presences for the first time, being confused and unable to understand.
What is returned: A brief memory of talking to Mara Jade on Wayland, helping her pick out individual minds from the general feel of the pattern of life around them, and thus be able to locate and count people by sense.

"Try looking for deviations. The ways the minds are different from each other. That's the best way to resolve them."
