psychometry permissions for

Cal has a relatively rare Force ability called psychometry or Sense Echo. Essentially, when touching certain objects, he can witness events connected to it. It's not true for every object, and seems to be somewhat dependent on if there's a particularly strong positive or negative emotion associated with it. For really intense, horrific memories, he can experience it as if he's literally in the body of the person going through the event.
To flesh out his experience on the Barge, please comment below with any memories of your characters (past or present) that he might be able to pick up on and what object might trigger the memory. If there are associated threads or clips from your character's canons that would provide some insight into the memory, that would also be appreciated but is by no means required!
Here's a form you can use if you'd like, or feel free to edit to suit your needs.

Character: Lark Tennant
Canon: Sharp Teeth
Object and Memory Triggered: His leather jacket, which his spouse gave him when Lark decided he needed to become a warden. So naturally, when this jacket is touched, Cal will see Lark's husband who looks to be about 70 and is clearly very frail and near death. The emotions here are inhumanly intense, like all of Lark's are: love and terror and anger are the most vivid.
His favorite tennis ball will come with A Lot. Sometimes it will just share a dog's-eye-view of a game of fetch, albeit a very athletic, trick performing dog, and the emotions will be of sheer delight and peace, like the wildest endorphin rush any human ever had. And sometimes that will be clouded by worry when the most recent moment attached to it was him 'tricking' sad people into playing with him. He does this a lot, so the faces will vary week to week.
