Part of my interest in cr with Chad was the hope of a memory echo or two about the Annoying Dog from Undertale. We've had a good few threads with them, but for various reasons our threads were either dropped before the on-screen interaction reached a moment where I felt justified in requesting an echo, or else they were threads where they were already getting an echo for a plot reason - that didn't involve the dog.
Looking back, I think I was being overly cautious about when I felt justified in requesting memory echoes. There were some chances I could have asked, and probably been permitted. Since we're starting up again, I figured now's the best time to give it a shot before putting the idea to rest.
So I looked through my thread history, and found a plausible moment: the moment when when Russell first learned that Chad was sentient. Would it be possible for me to do a backdated echo from that moment, and use a DET to get two silly moments of the Annoying Dog hassling Papyrus? If it's necessary that a DET be from around the time of the echo, I had a DET in the October 2018 activity check that I didn't use until April 2019.
These echoes wouldn't retcon the way Russell came to bantering and bickering with Chad, but him having those memories would make sense to me as a component of why they fell into that dynamic.
Link to character's info post:Info post. Is this a memory Echo? Yes Type of Echo: Memory Are you using a Double Echo Token? Yes, I hope. an Oct 2018 token - shifting later tokens forward if possible - or the first Dec 2018 token if it's best we not mess up the order of what tokens I already used, or no if neither of these is an option. Reason for Echo: Learning that a menace that's been plaguing his life is a sentient, annoying, little white dog What is returned: Memory of the annoying dog stealing his special attack while he was hanging out with the human, and - if the DET applies - memory of the annoying dog climbing into his bed and bothering him with its cold feet
