 [Jimmy was scribbling in his notebook, trying to work out a twist on a numeric cipher for his most recent story. In between scratching out failed calculations and experimenting with various cyphers and keywords, he manages to write out a certain number.]

But how is it that I can hear you talking right now? This is a notebook. I've looked through the whole thing, and there isn't anything like a speaker in it.

Honestly? No bloody clue.

If there's a scientific explanation to this we've yet to find it.

It's tempting to call it magic but that feels like a cop-out but we've yet to come up with something better.

[lovedramamoron]

[There was something about the idea of attributing something unknown to magic that Jimmy found very distasteful.]

...In that case I'll consider it as something that has not been explained yet.

[dragoonrouge]

Probably for the best, it's been driving a number of us a bit mad that there isn't really any readily available scientific explanation for this.

[lovedramamoron]

Has anyone figured out anything yet?

[dragoonrouge]

Look, we're putting together data on what's happening but the spread of variables are massive. N-one has yet to receive the same thing, the stimuli that trigger these events are just as varied as well, and none of us has been able to come up with an adequate explanation as to what's even causing all this to happen in the first place or why this is only focused on Mossgate.

[lovedramamoron]

Hey! I'm not criticizing. I'm just saying, this is something I want to figure out too.

[dragoonrouge]

Right...Sorry, it's frustrating to be making such little progress. Any extra help would be massively appreciated.

[lovedramamoron]

I'll be glad to help. I'm no detective, but I've gotten to be good at recognizing patterns.

[dragoonrouge]

Thanks. If you keep a track of what your Echoes are and what triggered it then we can compile and compare it to ours.

I'd make a spreadsheet but I feel like it's better not to store too much about this digitally.

[lovedramamoron]

I'm not entirely sure what exactly an echo is. Is there something I should look for?

[dragoonrouge]

A...feeling of emptiness, a sudden loudness of your heartbeat between your ears. If you don't see a...memory that doesn't belong to you or a have some sort of physical change, have a look about, you'll either find yourself with an object or some people have gained powers as well.
