How does one go the best about forcing an echo?

And, relatedly, is there a way to control what exactly is echoed?

[She knows that she is threading dangerous waters here, but she also needs a very specific thing that she knows her former self possessed.]


[Also, action option: Blaine will be visiting Chloe's farm around noon, poking around the area to find the shorter female. She wears normal, non-descriptive, though not quite her usual clothes (well, the thick brown jacket is normal, but the white pants and knee-high boots are definitely not something that she's been around town in before), and has a fairly large bag over her shoulder. Whoever might be there for whatever reason: Feel free to run into her!]

I know people who'd tell you that you're missing out.

[Those people are not her, obviously. She's not exactly a drinker - certainly not one who would drink enough to get more than slightly tipsy, she just doesn't trust the world enough for that - but she wouldn't say no to alcohol if it was paid for by someone else and she could still get it herself.]

"Stuff" sounds like you're avoiding an answer, and they can be rather traumatic, I've heard.

[strikeraid]

that makes sense except for the traumatic part
but what does that have to do with pink tiaras

[ text ]

[siesinddasessen]

Do you want to hear the ways in which those can be traumatic?

[It's gross. Don't do it, Skyler.]
