[Have you heard this voice before? It's probably hard to tell considering how absolutely toneless her voice is as she's speaking. Or maybe that's the dead giveaway? Either way it's pretty obvious this is going to be the opposite of a long emotional monologue.]

If I were to attempt to induce one of the memories, visions, whatever they are.

What would be the most effective way? I'm not stupid enough to think there's a foolproof way to make it happen, but I'd like to know if there's something I can do to increase my chances.

[A long pause, either deliberating on what to say, or whether or not to just stop talking.]

I had my first echo well over a month ago. Nothing since then.

[Oh shit it's this girl again. Maybe he'll get through to her this time?? More importantly, maybe he'll find out if she's a serial killer or not for sure.]

It's not really something I believe can be induced. All a matter of fate, as usual.

Interesting you've only had one, though. I've had two over the course of my first week. [He's not bragging. Okay yes he is.]

[talkshitgetsis]

[Perhaps she'll find out the same??]

You again.

"Fate."

Seems more like luck, to me. There's a cause for everything. I can find out what it is. Something to help.

. . .

Two in one week?
That's nice. [ooh she jelly]

audio

[shouldertheburden]

Haha, no, I'm sure my second one would have to be absolutely outstanding luck if it isn't fate.

But that neither of my experiences were negative or had ill effect on me, that may just be good luck. It seems some people that trigger these visions tend to come out anxious or outright traumatized. I wouldn't be quick to try and trigger another, myself, out of that concern. Keep that in mind and tread lightly.

I thought you didn't care about them.

[:| Sis.]

[talkshitgetsis]

I don't.

. . .

But I want to be able to talk to you about yours. Not as an outsider.

[neopianangst]

Maybe I won't have any more.

[Hahahahahaha]

Drink tap water.

[talkshitgetsis]

I've been staying away.

Does it still cause gigglefits?

text

[synchronous]

Yeah. But if you can find an excuse to keep to yourself for a few hours till it passes, that's a freebie echo right there.

A personal encounter with the mutated creepy-crawlies haunting this city may do it. Still, this is not recommended for your personal health.

Otherwise, it appears quite random.

[talkshitgetsis]

Sounds like a last resort.

[summit]

I don't think forcing it would be, a good idea?

[talkshitgetsis]

I'm not one for superstition.

audio.

[summit]

Less for superstition, and, more for maybe not wanting to see a whole bunch of things, at once? Or, receive them.

Okay so there's a few known factors

> encountering the works of the enemy. as mentioned, the tap water works, so does if you meet the monsters like that other person said. other stuff we know works: if you find snake statues.

i heard that there's still monsters in the mine, if you're desperate.

> heightened emotional responses to things. this one's kind of more of a roulette because i think whatever it is has to mirror something in your past life... but if you've got an intense emotional moment that is connected, stuff will come back

for me I'm starting to get kind of an idea of what triggers me, even if there's still a lot that's confusing. sometimes I think I've got shit from a whole bunch of different people. idk.

"Past life"

Is that a joke?

[She gets a nice view of Victor's unamused face, complete with distressingly pale skin and red eyes, with bats flapping around in the background.]

If you're expecting some kind of superpower or a fascinating memory to brag about, you might want to reconsider your motives.

[video]

[talkshitgetsis]

It isn't for bragging rights.

[somedaytogether]

I can't offer any advice on how to induce - and in any case that seems to have been thoroughly covered by others - but may I recommend that you find someone you can contact afterwards? The echoes you receive may be pleasant, and I hope they are, but they could also be traumatic or disturbing. Is there a close relative or friend you could discuss what you experience with?

[talkshitgetsis]

I...don't have to worry about that.

[That's what her brother is for.]

[struckout]

If you can get away with not having any more, I suggest hoping it stays that way.

Re: text

[talkshitgetsis]

I have a good reason.

I know it may not be easy.

[Audio]

[originaloddcouple]

I'm... not sure that's the best idea.

I mean, Miria and I went about a month without a memory-pulse-echo-thingamajig... and we weren't too happy with what we got...

[Audio]

[talkshitgetsis]

I know they can be unpleasant and I don't care.

Okay?

[wannabered]

Um, I'm not sure the most effective way to give memories it if you don't know what you're causing? I've managed to do it before, but I had memories of the person I was trying to give them to.
