So I believe I recently made an incredibly unfortun8 error in judgement and declared the pink light pulse to be the worst pulse ever. What with the buzzing and the migraine I got l8r and the assumption that I didn't get shit from it. I thought it was a bust! A stupid dumb lamey-lame loser pulse for chumps.
8ut! As of today, certain things have come to light. I am an incredibly m8ture and modest individual and this is me st8ting publically, for the record, that I was ABSOLUTELY WRONG. 8)


[ At this point, the message switches to Shitty Webcamovision! Particularly observant viewers might spot Octavia's trademark red shoes off in the top-left of the screen. Most people, on the other hand, will probably just notice the HUGE-ASS PILE OF TREASURE SHE'S STANDING ON HOLY SHIT WHAT. ]



Hey, guys.

Check out my sweet booty.

[ With that - and a magnificent shit-eating grin - she literally rolls out of sight of the camera, giggling like a loser. BEST ECHO EVER. ]

No, it's made of some kind of black metal I've never seen before.

[He holds his hands up to the screen, letting her see the onyx-like ring, all black, the head a flat hexagon.]

Books? What do they say, have you read them?

[drama8om8]

...Lame. Is it a magic ring? Does it give you cool powers or let you do magic or turn into a knuckleduster when you need to punch the shit out of things?

And one of the books is like. A stupid lame LARPing manual for losers. The other was past me's personal diary filled with personal things.

Like, really super personal.

[stagnantair]

I don't think it's magic! At least, it hasn't shown any signs. If it's radioactive or something I guess I'll know in a couple of years...

You got your past life's journal? That's fascinating... You should know all about who you were then, right?

[drama8om8]

Wow, okay, keep your radioactive deathring the fuck away from me, dude. Wow.

[ Perfectly serious YOU CAN'T BE TOO CAREFUL WITH ECHO SHIT OKAY... ]

And yeah! I was a pirate fairy called Spinneret Mindfang. And my mom was a spider who stole me at birth and tried to keep me from my destiny, which was being hot alien fairy Jesus. I was kind of a big deal!

[stagnantair]

I'm just saying it's a possibility, that's all.

That... sounds really interesting. I guess nothing's too far fetched when it comes to Echoes, right?

[drama8om8]

You're damn right, newbie. I would like to congratulate you on being so incredibly credulous and believing about all this! Most losers get all dumb and fussy and "bluh bluh that's bullshit" about the fairy Jesus thing. You get eight coolpoints for taking it in stride! I predict great things for you.

[stagnantair]

I'll save them for prizes later.

[He smiles.]

I just know that nothing's impossible. Improbable, maybe, but not impossible.

Besides, like you said I'm new. I can't go around saying everyone's crazy just yet.

[drama8om8]

You'd be surprised how many people do break out the "you're crazy" routine! Like wow. Dumb imaginationless losers, much?

Also I should get your name, I guess. Since you're new. I'm Tavia! And I am basically a veteran here at this point. Yeah!

[stagnantair]

It's Gavin. Nice to meet you, Tavia.

So you've been on the Network for a while? Anything I should know?
