You can include the name of your character and the fandom in your subject line. ✭ Comment around to others on the meme, whether you're in the game already or not. ✭ Now you have a sample ready for your application! ✭ So go reserve and apply when reservations and applications are open. ✭ Seriously, do it.
Network Prompts
ONE: SPAM IS MEANT FOR A CAN You awoke today to find a private message in your inbox full of glitchy text from an unreadable username. It doesn't seem to be from @ADMIN, and it's doubtful that any of your fellow unfortunate survivalists have the ability to send a bunch of garbage text from a dummy username. Any attempts to contact the sender of the message only yield silence.
Perhaps your friends on the network will have a better idea of what's going on.
TWO: DING DONG PING PONG You found an app on an SD card that lets you play a game--the app simply refers to it as "game," but those who are familiar with Earth's gaming history will recognize it as Pong. The graphics have been updated, but the mechanics are as simple as ever. Just bounce the ball back and forth and try to hit it past your opponent. This version lets you play with a friend over the network and supports chat simultaneously, so you can video or voice chat while playing with someone!
Or you can use text, but that would probably be inconvenient while you're trying to play.
Action Prompts
THREE: BABY IT'S COLD OUTSIDE The blizzard has been raging worse than usual for nearly a week now, making travel incredibly dangerous. You and your travelling companion have been stuck in the same house since the weather went out of control, and it's starting to have an effect. While you've not yet succumb to the dangerous fugue that would lead you out into the snow, cabin fever is definitely starting to set in for you...and whoever you're stuck with.
As long as you keep telling yourself the eyes on the walls aren't real. You're the only one who can see them, after all.
FOUR: A TENT-ATIVE FRIENDSHIP Everything has locked down for the night, and it looks like you're trapped outside. This almost certainly means death, but maybe you don't have to take it lying down. You walk for a while, and--what's that? Through the snow, the light of your tablet faintly illuminates the shape of a tent. It seems someone else is stuck out here, too, but they've been luckier in their searches than you.
Time to go see if they'll take pity on you for the night. You probably don't have much longer otherwise...
[ He didn't recognize the voice, wary eyes raising to the side of the tent from where the voice came. He decided not to open the tent, not yet. Not until he got some answer. ]
What are you doing out here?
[ Honestly, he knew that answer. Exactly what Kain himself was doing out here. Locked out and trying to survive. Well, if this was a person. Here, one could never be too careful... ]
My name's Sora! Please I need--I couldn't get inside anywhere!
[And obviously this person had been in the same sort of situation.
His limbs seemed heavier and it was harder to get through the snow, his pace slowing a bit as he took a few deep, albeit shaky, breaths. Sora only allowed himself a moment before he was moving forward again, arms wrapped around himself now as everything started to kind ache.]
[ A few moments of farther deliberation, a scowl cast across his face. On the one hand, he couldn't just leave the person out there... ]
Well then, hurry up.
[ Before too much more thought could be put into the matter Kain moved forward to unzip the tent entrance. If he were on the opposite end he would wish a speedy rescue himself. ]
[Sora turned around, stumbling backwards towards the tent a few paces as he turned his light to try and find whatever creatures the other was talking about.]

Wait.]
Creatures??

What creatures?
no subject
Crystals- Don't stay out to find out!
[ Kain had not seen them himself, but he'd heard stories. He felt he'd rather freeze than run into them. ]
You're trying not to die, not to assure your death!
