I'm bored, so I have questions for you.

What is the largest item, being or whatever else that you've ever pulsed back? Was it large from the beginning, or did it only grow to its current size later on?

[She's of course asking completely out of boredom and nothing else, and her question is meant to be this broad - not because she's trying to draw out a very specific type of answers (the biggest living being that you have ever pulsed back, but that would be too obvious perhaps). ...And her claim to boredom is partly true at least. Too many long-distance flights with long waits in taxi as of late.

See, she even adds another question. Super not actually interested.]

And what is the longest that you've ever gone without pulses?

You can shift. How?

I wish I had enough time to get bored! [It's not meant maliciously, more in wonder. Doesn't Blaine have hobbies to distract herself with?]

But to answer your questions, I think the longest has been a month or so? I don't get them as often as some people on here, I don't think. I've never echoed back anything that grew! I've got a spear, though, that's pretty big. And a big, old fashioned dress!

[Robyn's still feeling a little sore and shaken from her run in with the mob, this is a very welcome distraction.]

I haven't really echoed anything back big yet. The biggest thing I've gotten is a really dramatic looking cloak and hood.

I think the longest I've gone without an echo has been three weeks at the most?

I've gone around a month without before. Usually it's not more than a couple weeks. As for size I know Anais got the birdgod thing and obviously there's the giant robots.

[Yes, but they are all physical - she's not much of a reader or gamer or even TV-watcher. Not having any of those for years helped with that.] I've been travelling and waiting around a lot on the job, lately. It's a lot of sitting or standing around without a task. [Much less so then she'd make it sound - bodyguard work after all includes a lot of prevention and keeping an eye out for everything - but still.]

Weaponry and clothes, then. Anything else?

Clothes seem to be popular. Maybe those pulses think that our current fashion sense is just bad.

[...hm.] How long have you been numbered?

Birdgod thing?

[That sounds large, and like a living being - and really, he phrases it weirdly enough to justify such a question.]

...A month is the highest that I've heard of so far.

why are you asking.

Because I want to know. Why else do people ask questions?

[To distract others, for one, but that's not the point of this conversation.]

I received two pulses relatively close together that caused some trouble for me...I've not had one since. It's been nearly two months now. I almost wish that one would happen so I can stop anticipating it... Though, to answer your first question, the largest thing so far has been a gold ingot.

You should take up knitting or something - something you can put away easily and come back to. [Helpful Åsa is helpful.]

I had a memory about tanks once! I'm glad I didn't echo one of them back, that would have been really awkward. Although I was helping to destroy them so I guess they weren't mine.

[Two months. So she's not the only one that has had a break that lasted longer than a month, at least...]

What kind of pulses? [Considering that her last ones where rather inconvenient as well.]

Is that the only item that you've gotten so far? [And have you gotten anything that was alive?]

I'm not some little granny. [She has a reputation to uphold to stay successful at her job. No knitting.]

...so you think that just because you tried to destroy something, you couldn't echo it? That's rather optimistic.

Knitting's kind of fashionable these days, I thought? I know there's some ladies at work who knit! Unless they crochet. What's the difference anyway?

I thought we could only echo things that belonged to us?

Here. That was weird. Apparently it's now a robot and can disappear, but it showed up all at once. I've known people who were off-network for some months and came back on, does that count?

Haven't pulsed back anything bigger than myself yet. And yes, that includes my current shrunken down body.

Oh, you pulsed back a clone? How is he? I hope you've checked him thoroughly, wouldn't want to have him suddenly lock you up in a basement and take your place...

Could she control it?

No. I want to know how long people went without while networked. ...Who was off network for multiple months and then returned?

Not in my line of work, though it sure seems like a fitting hobby for people that surround a naive cutie like you.

[Why decide between hitting on someone and insulting them when you can do both at the same time and hopefully cause some entertaining reaction with it...]

And how do we know that that is the case, and not just something that we assume? Plus it would have not been us, but some other person that probably looked similar.

It could talk to her and understand her, but she was really unwilling to do anything with it at all. I suggested flying on it or having it go stay somewhere else, and she was like nope never. So idk. Lucy. I think she's off again now.

ok but why do you want to know this. its kind of a specific subject.

Don't be ridiculous. Though a clone would have been cool too.

Could be. I mean it is a very nice cloak after all. I'd wear it around if it didn't make me stand out like crazy in public.

A couple months? Since about mid-April. Why?

I haven't had a pulse since the first blackout. And then it was just a hoodie.

[ ... ]

The hoodie is small.

[ #notatitan ]

That sounds a bit naughty, you know.

In terms of inanimate objects, a large and ornate shield. In terms of animate ones, my present body.

[Magical anti-aging echoes beat the random shield hands down.]

As for your second inquiry, no more than a few weeks, possibly a month at most.
