ok ok writes that down *writes that down* Now what are your opinions on you (And or you by proxy via your Oc's) interacting with the story and town of echo? and also who are your oc's what do they do? who are they?

Ooohhh an oc ask!!

My Echo-Adjacent furry Ocs exist in a story I've called Scholarly Scarlet that has similar vibes.

Nikoli Volk is a College Professor who, along with his sister Margot, is called back to his estranged fathers estate to claim a newly found part of his mothers will. They each recieve an envelope but are conflicted on whether to open them or simply throw them away.

Meanwhile, Nikoli's younger boyfriend Cory is challenged by a mysterious new stripper at the lounge he works for. He worked hard for his position and he won't let some lace wearing newbie steal his tips.

Finally, Margot Volk is happy for once. Her current boyfriend Charles is funny and she loves her job; but something in her dreams is wrong, and she won't stop until shes at peace.

General themes of queerness, trauma and family along with Echos brand of symbolic horror follow :]

If your looking for a particular link to Echo, Jakob, a side character and one of Nikolis Students, hails from the town; although Echos story holds little relevance in the grand scheme of things

Have a WIP of Cory for your troubles :]

Mhm Mhm Why would they not open the letters? Surely their mother would not... "whomever opens this letter first is stupid haha" them right? Also Some sort of echo in some form is canon? Neat but that was not what i was asking, Surely you have thought of some way one of your oc's would appear within the story right? Mayhaps going along with chase, Doing his project for him and such, just... Showing up for no good reason? And any other reason to be in the hysteria Event!

Okay that actually clears it up I was a bit confused initially

Jakob was living in Echo when the hysteria happened, only 11 and not old enough to move out yet. He only remembers it vividly, dancing around a bonfire in the middle of the desert, screams and gunshots; he rarely talks about it except when hes drunk (which happens frequently now that hes in college).

Chase interviewed him for the project.

Charles, Margots Boyfriend, is also from Echo, but has moved away to pursue a medical career. In his youth though, he definitely visited the modern Smoke Room.

On the envelopes, Evylin Volk (Nikoli and Margots mother) wasn't a kind woman. She and Gotov (The Father) kicked Nikoli out when they found out he was gay and were very controlling towards Margot until Evylins death via heart attack.

Margot wants to move on and Nikoli flat out hates her so both have second thoughts. The contents could very well be "whomever opens this letter first is stupid" or something far worse...
