I have a few questions for the Network in general about echoes, if people would be so kind to answer them.

What do you think the echoes are?

What usually prompts your echoes?

What is the strangest incident that produced an echo? What is the most mundane? If you don't want to give specifics on an incident for either of these, some generalizations would still be appreciated.

Do you get echoes from the strange incidents that is usually associated with the alien things, Re: Wise Snake, the lights in Vegas, etc?

How many people remember other people on the Network in their echoes?

Thank you for anyone who answers.

By the way, I have something for you.

[okay, alright, he switches to video too. He squints at the image for a few seconds, not sure what he's supposed to be seeing, but then he gets that weird pulsating feeling again. He takes in a breath, and nods.]

Yeah, they're--yeah. Sam and Tucker. My best friends, actually.

[It's so weird, remembering people he's pretty sure don't exist and feeling like they should be his closest friends.]

...How did you know?

Re: [Video] Filtered

[ghostly_heiress]

I remembered seeing you with them, in a cafeteria. [There's a pause.]

Danny, how common do you think it is for someone to be half ghost?

[Video] Filtered

[gogoghostpowers]

[Well that's an unexpected question.]

...Not much, now that I think about it. The way I heard about it from another ghost, it sounded more like he thought I was a-a--a legend, than someone who was real.

Why?

Re: [Video] Filtered

...

It's really weird, to not have a heartbeat and then suddenly have it.

[gogoghostpowers]

Do--did that happen to you too?

Re: [Video] Filtered

[ghostly_heiress]

Yes. Right after I saw your friends. You wanted to talk and I...changed.

[gogoghostpowers]

And you had the white rings and stuff when it happened to you too?

Re: [Video] Filtered

[ghostly_heiress]

I did.

And...there was also the way you spoke to me.

[Video] Filtered

[gogoghostpowers]

...what did I say?

Re: [Video] Filtered

[ghostly_heiress]

Not a lot. Actually it was more talking around me, but the tone and the attitude...

Honestly, it made me think of shows where the older sibling is really annoyed at their younger sibling.

Which on it's own may not mean a lot, but everything else going on makes it a lot harder to brush off as just being a thing that happened.

[gogoghostpowers]

So...what? What do you mean?

I was treating you like a little sister, and we were both half-ghost...you think we actually were siblings?

Re: [Video] Filtered

[ghostly_heiress]

With that and a few other points, it does seem highly unlikely that we are not related.

And I've found out it is very possible to have siblings on the network you were not related to in the other lives, so presumably the reverse can also occur.

[gogoghostpowers]

Maybe--I don't remember having any siblings, but I don't remember being an only child either.

...come to think of it, I don't remember much of whoever my family was supposed to be, either.

Re: [Video] Filtered

[ghostly_heiress]

Maybe you haven't been able to encounter anything unique enough to prompt the echo affect?

[Video] Filtered

[gogoghostpowers]

Maybe...maybe not. I don't know yet.

I guess we'll have to wait and see.

Re: [Video] Filtered

[ghostly_heiress]

That seems the best course of action.

[Paaaause.]

Um. But...we should consider. What we'll do, if it is true. I mean, I can get if you don't want to make it a big deal or anything! Just we'll be remembering a lot of each other then and I dunn-don't know. We should do something about that.

[And she's been pretty calm and sounding oh so polite this whole time, but that was just a bunch of nervous kid right there.]

[gogoghostpowers]

...like what?

Re: [Video] Filtered

[ghostly_heiress]

....

Probably get to know each other here? Maybe?

[gogoghostpowers]

Alright, well, uh...where do you want to start?

Uh. Hi, my name's Danny Fenton, I'm almost 16, I go to Locke High, my parents design roller coasters and think up conspiracy theories?

Re: [Video] Filtered

[ghostly_heiress]

I'm thirteen an-

[Then she just STOPPED for a minute.]

Fentons who design rollercoasters.

You don't mean they're THOSE Fentons.

[Video] Filtered

[gogoghostpowers]

No, I mean those Fentons. Trust me, I've test-ridden enough prototype coasters in this house to know.

Re: [Video] Filtered

[ghostly_heiress]

Oh my gosh. Oh my gosh, oh my gosh, oh my gosh, seriously?! [And it's like she actually sounds her age, wow.] I've always wanted to ride one of their roller coasters, they always looked so awesome!

[gogoghostpowers]

[Wow, this is the most excitable and kid-like he's ever seen her. It's kinda nice, seeing her act her own age. The prim and proper "I speak/write better than the high schooler" thing was getting kinda weird.]

Really? Well, if you wanna go, I could get you free tickets. My family...kinda gets to go whenever we want, since my parents practically designed half the park.

Re: [Video] Filtered

[ghostly_heiress]

Can you? That would be AMAZING, I've never gotten to go before, no one was ever willing to take me.

[Video] Filtered

[gogoghostpowers]

[He laughs a little.]

Sure, I can do that! I'll ask 'em about it tonight.

The only thing is...the park is kind of outside the border where you get to maintain all your pulses. And it's not just pulses--it's anything that happened because of the network. Last time I went with a friend I made because of the network, and we didn't really remember each other.

I don't know if that boundary thing changed since then--last time I was there was, uh, August, but I figured I should give a warning.
