If you'd like to apply to Snowblind and would like to test the waters first or get a sample set up for your application, this meme is for you! We've even provided some prompts for you to use if you want (but feel free to make up your own). Here's how it works.
✭ Reply to this entry with a character you're considering apping into the game. 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: LIKE A MOTH TO A FLAME Something about the light of the tablet just seems so alluring. You feel compelled to it, checking the network every free moment, and getting agitated when you can't; you need to talk to people, you need to talk to them now, and hopefully they'll actually respond. Maybe others are having similar attachment problems...
Only one way to find out.
TWO: CAN WE GET ANOTHER LIFELINE OR TWO? So that's it. You're stuck. Maybe there's some kind of a coded message you simply can't decipher. Maybe it's as simple as something's blocking your way and you've got a few tools scattered around, but you can't figure out how to use them to solve whatever puzzle is keeping you from progressing. Or maybe it's something else entirely. Either way, you have no idea how to get around it.
Luckily for you, there's a whole network full of helpful - or maybe unhelpful - souls. Perhaps it's time to ask for some assistance? Someone else is bound to have some kind of insight.
Action Prompts
THREE: SWING BATTER BATTER SWING BATTER BATTER SWING The toy store is nice and cozy, even though sometimes it feels like the dolls are watching you. So you've stayed here for just a little too long, and you're starting to notice... things. But that's just your imagination, right? They can't actually be watching you. They can't actually be moving, either. That door opening? Those footsteps? Maybe they're just a figment of your imagination.
...or maybe they're not. Maybe you should take a baseball bat to whoever that is and find out.
FOUR: A FATAL FUGUE Sunset is fast approaching. You can see some buildings up ahead - if you hurry, you'll make it indoors just in time. But wait! Do you hear someone calling for help and feel compelled to investigate? Do you feel a debilitating headache coming on? Or do you suddenly get a really, really bad feeling about actually walking through those doors?
If you don't snap out of it, it could be deadly. Luckily, there's someone already in that house that might be able to drag you to safety, with or without your approval.
[The video starts with an exasperated-looking teenager, grimacing down at the tablet to make sure it's working.]
Sooo... I found this message thing, on one of the walls here. Looks like it's in some kind of code or something? I've been trying to figure it out in case it's something useful. Buuuuut...
[And they turn the tablet around at this point to show a message scrawled on the wall with what looks like some kind of paint or tar. Whatever it is, it's in some kind of double or triple cipher.
It could be useful. It could be graffiti. Right now it's just jibberish. There's a bit of pen scratching below them, trying to crack the code. But clearly she hasn't gotten very far. And Ellie didn't exactly want to just sit here wasting hours trying to figure out some random message that could be anything.]
Well, that's all I got.
Anybody else got any idea what to do with this? [Her voice drops to a mutter, clearly more for herself but still audible on the feed.] Cause I haven't got a fuckin' clue.
[And she's pretty good at scrounging around for that sort of thing. Not as good as Joel but... years of experience on his end. Guess it couldn't hurt to look around again. She ends up propping the tablet up so it's still facing the wall.]
Have you seen any other messages similar to it nearby, dear? [What sounds like an older woman's voice can be heard from the other side.] I believe you can take pictures with this device, so you could solve it somewhere warm hopefully.
@endureandsurvive; video (ooops I forgot to specify it's an interior wall)
It's certainly worth a try. Everything is a mystery here, dear. [It takes Toriel a moment to realize Ellie is actually inside. Ah well. Her concern stands still in its own way.] We're all working to figure things out.
If you see anything referencing MN poisoning it's worth taking. One of our resident doctors is trying to parse out the poisoning issues happening here.
[ Yeah, Billy's incapable of being helpful. On, like, a cellular level.
Terrible trait for a superhero, that.
The teenage boy in a cape and creative headgear on the other end of the line does at least appear to be studying the cipher, though it's nothing he has an experience with at all. ]
[Doesn't mean that it'll generate the same laugh factor. She appreciates the attempt though. Goodness only knew they needed more people with a sense of humor here.]

It would appear to be a cipher, miss. Depending on the variety, it may require a key. Have you identified any other clues in the nearby vicinity?
@endureandsurvive; video
Not really.
[And she's pretty good at scrounging around for that sort of thing. Not as good as Joel but... years of experience on his end. Guess it couldn't hurt to look around again. She ends up propping the tablet up so it's still facing the wall.]
What sort of key am I looking for?

@endureandsurvive; video (ooops I forgot to specify it's an interior wall)
[They're actually inside, though it's probably hard to tell because of the lighting - one of the walls is practically nothing but windows.]
Guess I can keep looking, though.

[Dear? That's the second time this lady's called her that. Ellie isn't used to dealing with anybody so overwhelmingly... maternal.
Ellie sets her tablet down on a nearby desk, and there's a nice view of the ceiling as she scuffles around the room, scrounging.]
Well, there's a lot of papers and envelopes everywhere.
@snailfan98, voice
@endureandsurvive; video
Wait, what? Nobody said anything about poisoning when I got here.
[Which... kind of seems like a bit of a glaring oversight? If it's that big of an issue.]
@snailfan98, voice
@endureandsurvive; permavideo
[She's sharp enough to pick up on the implications. And of course it's exactly what they needed on top of everything else.]
Well that's just great.
[There's shuffling as she starts looks through the papers a bit more thoroughly. Almost everything's too damaged or ripped apart to be read.]
video, @wiccandoit

-Have you tried speaking friend to enter?
@endureandsurvive; video
[So helpful indeed. And in turn, her statement is absolutely loaded with an equal amount of sincerity. Which is to say not very much.
The next statement earns a faintly baffled, mostly skeptical look.]
What's that even supposed to mean?
no subject
[ For a guy in that getup, he's losing confidence fast. ]
Fellowship of the Ring? It was a joke.
no subject
[One of the unfortunate side effects of living in a post-apocalyptic world. Pop culture is sadly nonexistent.]
no subject
- Have no clue what he's talking about, that is. Most people Billy knows don't come from a post-apocalyptic world. ]
Would you believe me if I told you it'd be hilarious if you were from my world?
[ Probably not, right? Billy's already waving it off. ]
Anyway. Sorry, I don't know much about codes; we usually leave that up to the android guy.
no subject
[Doesn't mean that it'll generate the same laugh factor. She appreciates the attempt though. Goodness only knew they needed more people with a sense of humor here.]
Android guy? Like a robot?
@highwind, audio
Have you found anything around it of use?
[ Kain must admit, he's found it quite a bit more interesting than he should. ]
Something else to help crack the code?
