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.

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.

Is this a memory Echo? Yes
Type of Echo: Memory, memory.
Are you using a Double Echo Token? Yes, the second from October
Reason for Echo: Canon recurrence during the Mother's Day event; this is the first time the mysterious gifts have appeared inside homes and flats without any signs of entry through doors or windows - it's as if they've been pranked by someone who could teleport into their rooms.
What is returned: Russell gains (1) a feeling of slightly exasperated but comfortable familiarity with knowing some people can teleport, and (2) memory of a conversation with Sans, in which his brother stood in the same room while reassuring that he was also at work somewhere else entirely (possible only due to teleporting back and forth)

Donatello thought he lost everything.

Is this a memory Echo? no
Type of Echo: Mental.
Are you using a Double Echo Token? no
Reason for Echo: Being, in human form, in the perfect position to flirt with a human woman who is able to push back. (He has touched Sadie before, but that situation really did not lend himself to any flirtative behaviour partly because Channing was licking her face, partly because she wasn't in a state to be combative about advances.)
What is returned: The trait of his personality where he will easily turn to somewhat crude and slightly threatening flirting when around a woman that he considers befitting of such behavior (in canon, this are women close enough to his own social standing and apparent age and/or who he thinks will push back. In Mossgate, the group will likely be "adult human women" for the moment.)

Is this a memory Echo? Yes
Type of Echo: Memory
Are you using a Double Echo Token? No
Reason for Echo: Rune's confusion over idioms about water birds, and Felicity's following confusion about what he was talking about reflects a conversation that Aziraphale had with Crowley about the antichrist and how suspicion slides off him like.... whatever it is water slides off of and ends with Crowley remembering suddenly that it is in fact ducks, confusing Aziraphale*.
What is returned: The memory of this conversation (under a page's worth of dialogue) starting from: "Suspicion will slide off him like, like . . . whatever it is water slides off of,"" which covers: 1) two people are looking for someone 2) they both have 'organisations' they can use for it (and they aren't very sophisticated) 3) said organisations won't "get people to shoot one another, they [won't] hypnotise respectable women" and ends with Crowley remembering that water slides off ducks. The conversation takes place in Crowley's Bentley on the way back to London from Oxford, accompanied by J. S. Bach's Mass in B Minor, vocals by F. Mercury. (pg 63-4 in my digital copy)

*"His forehead creased for a moment, and then he slapped the steering wheel triumphantly. "Ducks!" he shouted.
"What?"
"That's what water slides off!"
Aziraphale took a deep breath.
"Just drive the car, please," he said wearily."

Is this a memory Echo? Yes/no
Type of Echo: Physical change/power, memory
Are you using a Double Echo Token? Here!
Reason for Echo: Plot echo (Smol NPC encounter)
What is returned:

1. The memory of Alexia calling him a "impudent, arrogant, overbearing, unobservant dog" while whacking him with a parasol, starting at him hitting on her and ending just before he counterattacks.

2. The ability to shift partways - his human form develops pointy fangs and his eyes turn icier, gaining a black rim around the iris.

Is this a memory Echo? Yes, yes?
Type of Echo: Memory, mental trait.
Are you using a Double Echo Token? Yes, 2nd from November
Reason for Echo: Negative plot echo (dormouse disapproval)
What is returned:
Memory: The memory of when Empress Undyne appointed Papyrus to be The Most Important Royal Position, a plainly made-up position with an impressive title and the responsibility to "stand around and look cute." Undyne hoped he would be impressed and flattered by the title, enough to not be hurt or insulted that she still didn't let him in the Royal Guard - even after drastically expanding it in preparation for war. He wasn't really flattered, but pretended otherwise to her.

Personality: The trait where he connects dots in somewhat odd ways, ignoring cause and effect and taking somewhat superficial details to extremes. Like pasting cardboard muscles to his arms and putting sunglasses on them - to make a cool selfie that'll convince someone to become friends with him. Or creating a lopsided cardboard sentry station to make a pun - instead of a professional-looking sation for the sake of getting promoted. Or making spaghetti that looks photogenic but tastes horrific - because if aged alcohol is better for spending time aging in an oaken cask, then so is pasta.

Is this a memory Echo? Yes
Type of Echo: Memory/Ability
Are you using a Double Echo Token? Yes Gained Here
Reason for Echo: Chad told Jimmy that he should become more like a child.
What is returned:
Memory: the "Information Gathered About the Detective Boys" case, in which Haibara told Conan it was too dangerous to show off his deductive reasoning while their first grade teacher was watching them, and that he needed to guide the police detectives to solve the case while acting more like a child. He did so, but was then scolded by the other kids for acting too childish in front of adults.

Ability: The deductive reasoning that he was warned not to show off in the memory. This will allow him to make connections between his observations. He still won't be at his canon deductive ability, because he is still missing much of the general knowledge base that will allow him to interpret his observations.

The second item is Q'uila's Red Mage rapier, pictured active here.

What is returned:
Thom:
Double Echo
Memory: The discovery of his first D-Arc.
Item: First D-Arc (Note: At this point all screens will display the phrase "no data" in Japanese, because it will not be able to connect to Gizmo until he echoes back being made of data.)

Are you using a Double Echo Token? Yes, second DET received here
Reason for Echo: Dormouse echo received here
What is returned:
Ability: Nel will gain the ability to walk on the surface of water in liquid form. Still water will be easiest, but moving water will require her to try to balance as if she were walking on shifting ground. It does not require any particular concentration, but she has to want to be above the surface to walk (or below the surface to swim).
Physical Change: Her brown eyes turn gold in the iris.

Is this a memory Echo? No
Type of Echo: Mental
Are you using a Double Echo Token? No
Reason for Echo: For the first time a child hugged him while in human form.
What is returned: In RaW, a small child hugs Channing's trouserleg, to which he reacts kindly but also by putting some distance between the child and himself as quickly as possible, because having children that close to him causes him to have to relieve the trauma of losing his own child (and wife) to a murdersuicide.

Chad will, from now on, have the memory of their death flash in front of him whenever a child hugs him in his human form, with all the painful feelings attached to it that the trauma brings.

What is returned:
Memory: Dark Donatello consciously evading security measures when moving around the city

Reason for Echo: Talking with Walter about what to do about Mr. Helpful's request.

What is returned: Just this page here. As Rune is hesitant to about the circumstances but he still has a more important mission to worry about, as long as he isn't in danger, he's willing to help out.

Is this a memory Echo? Both, yay for double tokens
Type of Echo: Memory + ability
Are you using a Double Echo Token? Yes, using up half my triple from October (since saving it for a three-piece echo obviously wasn't gonna work, ahaha)
Reason for Echo: Benjiro picked Stone up and started climbing with him on his back. This is the first time he's ever been carried on anyone's back like that AND he's certainly never been climbed with! It echoes back to when he and Moon and some others were climbing around inside a floating leviathan with a city on its back.
What is returned: The memory listed above, clinging to Moon's back because he was too big in his own winged form to climb in the living tunnel they were in. He remembers a brief conversation where he tells Moon he was never planning to kill him when he first found him. He also echoes back his Raksuran strength, but not the bone density and muscle mass to actually do a lot with it because hurt himself and occasionally break things. It'll be fun.

Is this a memory Echo? Yes and No.
Type of Echo: Memory, pseudo-physical change.
Are you using a Double Echo Token? Yes; the third one earned here.
Reason for Echo: Glitter bomb from Mr. Neutral, aka Plot Echo.
What is returned: Memory of how Webmind developed coding for himself in order to "multitask", evolving himself an unconscious. Paired with this would be some of Walter's automatic thought processes turning digital. As far as I am aware, there's no way Walter can notice this is going on unless someone were to develop Websight akin to Caitlin's and could see those links being formed.
