We all love smashing our characters in the face with Echoes, right? And yet, rarely do we have the opportunity to ramble about what they actually think about them and/or just what the hell they assume is really going on...!

RIGHT HERE IS THAT CHANCE. Fill out the below for each of your dudez or ladiez, then comment around with your own thoughts or offers to help with future plans or whatever. Hell, post ICly too, if you want! 8Db

Character: Julien/Yuuya
How long they've been in game: 139 days.
When or how long ago their first Echo was: First echo and entry into the game were less than a day apart.
How many total they've received so far: Seventeen!

What do they think of their Echoes?: Doesn't know Yuuya's name, but the first memory echo involved responding to the name "Apostle of the Violet Rose", so Julien usually calls him "the Apostle".

He knows Yuuya is extremely inhuman, obviously, and possesses wings. Aaron told him a while back that Julien's anatomical changes are all very avian, but Julien really wants to believe he's not turning into a bird, so he's going with "somewhat birdlike" and not even thinking much about that. As it turns out his general willpower and ability to be positive and focus also make him very good at denial.

"Angel" is still something he'd prefer, though... not at all the traditional sort. The gigglewater brought back that first memory (in which Yuuya hallucinated being a human healer-knight), which helps a little. He also knows Yuuya went into some kind of kingdom of the dead to rescue people or souls, and faced the monstrous soul-absorbing King that he couldn't fight while doing so.

He thinks Yuuya was a serious, set, kind of grim character, because a lot of memories come with serious mental anguish over something he did once to save his brother, and Yuuya's used that to fuel a kind of conviction/attempt to atone through saving people. He does want to protect humans, and there's the disturbing inference that there aren't many left.

It's weird that Yuuya owns a smartphone. Recognizable tech, even if it's weird-looking.

Julien is sure he'd be more useful if he was more like his other self, who seems extremely capable and determined. He thought Yuuya was always sure of himself and what to do, but the latest one seems to cast doubt on that - then again, he also feels certain that "I didn't do it so he'd love me" is the oldest one yet. He dreads it happening, but...

And on other things?: Julien wants to do things! And help. He... doesn't really know what to do but organization is good, and he sometimes thinks of useful details. Being "leader" stressed him out and people didn't act according to plan, but also no one was hurt or killed, which is good. He hopes very much that he'll not have to do that kind of thing again.

Even if he doesn't show it, he worries about a lot of people and what will happen to them.

He's... actually really torn up by Aaron forgetting. It's comingled with the latest memory, which is devastating. If that latest entry had come with video and he didn't have a moment to make himself look presentable, there'd be self-hugging, unpretty faces, and so on, and he's trying to fight back the idea that it's somehow his fault. But said memory also came with "Swallow it back, maintain hope, keep going and don't let anyone know", so he's got more of a facade up than if he hadn't gotten an Echo out of it.

Any plans for them in the future?: Hahaha. Ha. Aha. Boy is turning into a secret agent fantail pigeon. I know a lot about avian anatomy and physiology, and also Hatoful Boyfriend.

He'll have to get the bird uplift virus and start unwillingly spreading it eventually. He'll also have to learn about the virus that led to 95% of humans dying, possibly before getting the uplift virus. The future also holds a pigeon tongue, which is forked but not in the way you think, and feathers for hair, and hollow bones and bird blood, and ears which hear ten times faster, and thin tough skin, and a complex skin oil and related gland, and avian muscles, and magnetic-field-sensing organs, and the desire for flight.

Then he'll grow feathers and his hands will turn into wings and he'll have a tail, which... yeah he'll kind of fall apart then. Also somewhere in there are more Yuuya memories and artifacts. I'm excited about them too, I just can't ramble about them off the cuff like with anatomy.

--ooooh hey hey a thing.

Action log sometime where Julien stealths up behind Becky and scares the everliving crap out of her? And then I can Echo her a memory of Mrs. Frederic, who regularly stealths up behind people and scares the everliving crap out of them. (Rewatched an episode last night where a guy's getting something out of his fridge and she PHOTOBOMBS IN BEHIND HIM, holy crap.)

I should be back around after Labor Day. :D?

Huh! He could scare her inadvertently. There are people Julien might do that as like a test or a prank, but not many! Still, you can badly startle someone without meaning to.

Sure thing! Just make sure to remind me!
