TEST DRIVE MEME

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: TURN AROUND It's after lockdown, but not early enough to go to sleep. You've got everything sorted out, and now you're bored. Time to video chat on the network! Everything's fine from where you are... But unfortunately, there's something behind you. Something humanoid and creeping closer inch by inch, trying to sneak up on you without you noticing. Maybe the person you're talking to will let you know about that. The only problem? If you do turn around to look, you won't be able to see it. If your tablet friend can convince you to move to a different room and close the door, everything will be fine. If they can't, well, they'll be watching you get dragged off into the darkness before too long. TWO: CAUGHT ON FILM Normally, this doesn't happen. In fact, normally it never happens. However, something has gone a bit wrong today, and the tablets are turning on and off by themselves. This makes for some pretty disjointed conversations, with people popping in and out at the worst times. And, of course, someone might see you doing something you'd prefer they didn't see. NOTE: Please don't post anything sexual in regards to this prompt. While in-game the network doesn't allow for accidental posts, we thought you guys could have fun with it here! Action Prompts THREE: HORROR HOSPITAL After a long trek through the ice tunnels, you've finally reached the hospital! You've just stepped inside to see what there is to see... And the door locks behind you. Looks like it's curfew, and guess where you're spending the night? The atmosphere is oppressive and the tablets don't work quite right, but this is probably better than being outside. Maybe you'll have some company with you? And there are probably beds somewhere. FOUR: OKAY GUYS QUICK POLL You've run into some good luck--you've just found a blanket! It's soft and warm and if you fold it right, you're sure it will fit into your backpack. You're sure, but you can't tell, because it's already stuffed full of things. You're going to have to pick and choose what should stay and what should go... But hey, there are other people around! Maybe they can help you sort out your supplies! Maybe you can give them some of the stuff you can't carry! Maybe you can steal their backpack so you can carry more! The options are endless!

Sans the Skeleton | Undertale

[skelepuns]

[OOC: A few notes before we get started here. This game is a relatively new release, but I will be as spoiler free as possible! Sans never talks about his backstory to anyone anyway so there shouldn't be too much danger of spoilers - what's been seen in trailers is basically what you're going to get. Also, I'm still playing around with formatting his speech; for the time being, all of his dialogue will be in comic sans font and typed the way he speaks in-game. If you want me to drop the speech quirk, just ask~.]

[PROMPT ONE]

[Sans was usually asleep by now (and most times of the day, for that matter) but a friend on the other line had gotten bored and decided to give him a call late that night. Not one to say no to a friend in need, Sans obliged. Everything was going fine until his friend had pointed out, however, the looming figure that was apparently creeping up behind him.

Which, of course, was gone when Sans turned to look. He could only smile back at the camera, checking the corner of his eyesockets.]

y'know, it's kind of funny. usually I'm the one sneaking up behind people. this guy's stolen my schtick.

[PROMPT THREE]

[Creepy hospitals, eh? Well, Sans has slept in weirder places, he supposed, though this wasn't exactly comfortable. Searching through the rooms to find a better place to sleep than an old waiting room couch, Sans stumbled across someone he thought he recognized-]

oh, hey, papyrus, what are you doing h-

[Tugging on the arm of hanging skeleton, Sans suddenly discovered it was plastic....

What???

He was smiling, though he looked rather confused... and a little bit embarrassed...]

... is this some kind of joke?

[Well hopefully nobody saw him fall for that.]

prompt three

[quartzmelody]

I dunno, but it was pretty humerus to me!

[You can almost feel the "badumptsch" in the air as Aradia approached Sans from behind, shooting him two finger guns and a playful wink when he turns around to look at her.]

holy shit i love you i can't stop laughing

[skelepuns]

.... heh. heh heh heh heh heh.

[Sans turned to look at the person who approached him from behind, chuckling at the joke.]

wow. that's a pretty good one. i can see I'm not the only one around here with a funny bone or two in their body. what's your name, kid?

;9

[quartzmelody]

[Finally, someone who appreciated a good pun! Aradia grins widely at Sans, her wings fluttering just a little from behind her.]

Well, I've always got time for a joke or two~

[Only she would appreciate that one, though.]

I'm Aradia, it's nice to meet you! Stuck here too, huh?

[skelepuns]

[Yeah he didn't get that joke, but he grinned at it anyway.]

sans. pleasure's all mine. yeah, got locked in earlier, but it's no big deal.

[Sans grabbed the arm of the plastic skeleton and inspected it closely, trying to figure out what the heck it was for.]

d'you know why humans would keep something like this around?

prompt one

[fishious]

He isn't even doing it in a cool way! Remember that time you snuck up on the human?

[despite the icon, Undyne isn't wearing her helmet or her armor on her end of the feed. she'd already found out what it's like to deal with extreme temperatures and she wasn't ready to repeat it! not that Snowdin was that bad compared to Hotland, but this was different. how? shut up.]

Man! I sure wish I could've been there to see that. Instead of doing something important, like not slacking off!

Note for you: this is Worst End sans~

[skelepuns]

of course I remember. though I have no idea how YOU remember.

[He was pretty sure he never told Undyne that story, and, well, he was pretty sure nobody else could have told her either because...

Welp. Best not to think about stuff like that.]

i'm pretty sure sneaking up on humans qualifies as doing my job, doesn't it, undyne?

she's best end, so this'll be Fun

[fishious]

How I would remember? Um, maybe Papyrus told me? What's the matter, fill your skull with too many bone puns?

[he's acting weird, but that's probably no different than usual. if his brother were around, he'd probably just be telling her this is par for the course. and then say something about heading to Snowdin to kick a snowball around.]

You did half your job, but you didn't follow through! ...But I guess you didn't have to. Things turned out pretty okay in the end.

oh fun.

[skelepuns]

......

[Sans isn't sure he likes the implications of this conversation or where it was headed.]

right. so, the thing you said you saw. sounds pretty fishy if you ask me.

[Yes, let's change the topic with humor.]

[hummble]

Looks azif one's got ye actin the maggot. Alright there?

[ Someone definitely 'saw' all of that, yup. Sorry Sans. They also definitely look amused. ]

[skelepuns]

[Sans turns and smiles at the newcomer. Not that he has much of a choice given he has a skeleton face.]

hey now, don't stereotype. i'm a skeleton, not a zombie, I'm maggot-free.

[hummble]

Well, tat s'plains th' white. [ Since that....is about all he can see, actually. His eyes sight is terrible. ]

[skelepuns]

maybe I act lazy, but I still try to keep my bones from yellowing. so thanks.

[Did this person not realize he was a skeleton upon walking in on him doing this whole thing, trying to talk to a fake skeleton?]

hey so, do you know why a hanging plastic skeleton is in a hospital?

why hello there (it's for 3 obviously)

[htespagheti]

[And out of nowhere --]

SANS!!! OF COURSE THAT ISN'T ME! WHERE ARE THE RIPPLING MUSCLES THAT I HAVE SOMEHOW DESPITE BEING ENTIRELY BONES!

[Judging by the dopey look on his face, somebody whose name starts with P and ends with apyrus has No Clue how serious things are. Although, the cold is suddenly bothering him, so... that's weird............?]

I CAN'T BELIEVE YOU THINK I LOOK LIKE THIS. I'M ALMOST RECONSIDERING BEING GLAD TO SEE YOU!

friend, you are exactly what i needed right now. (Worst End Sans, as a warning~)

[skelepuns]

[Okay, Sans' emotions usually didn't do that weird thing where they roller coaster up, down, and up again, but it was happening right now and he was getting pretty bad whiplash from it.

Of course, he didn't show it. Instead, he simply turned to his brother with a wink, cracking an inappropriate joke.]

i dunno, you both look like a couple of bone heads to me.

with how cagey sans is, tbh papyrus will never even notice (tho he's true end)

[htespagheti]

HANG ON. I NEED TO REALLY EMPHASIZE HOW BAD THAT WAS.

UUUUUUUUUUGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH.

[Same old Sans. Papyrus might not really comprehend the severity of the situation, but their usual shtick still helps being benignly confused.]

WHAT ARE YOU DOING ANYWAY. ARE YOU REALLY TRYING TO NAP IN A SITUATION LIKE THIS????? UNBELIEVABLE.

[What else are they going to do, Papyrus, really?]

[warriorscribe]

[When everyone in your traveling party seems to be too exhausted for nightmares but you, staying awake by yourself gets boring fast, once the adrenaline winds down.

Why he'd reached out to the living skeleton, of all people, he didn't really know. Maybe it was because he was the only one he'd seen network activity for so late at night. What Enoch hadn't counted on was for things to be lurking in the darkness behind Sans.]

So why would you be sneaking up on people? A prank?

[He'd at least learned Sans appreciates humor (that part's hard to miss, honestly). But mostly, he's distracted by watching the background. He'd definitely seen the shape moving back there, but where was it...was it still there?]

[skelepuns]

someone's gonna have to put a little bit more backbone into it if theyre going to try and prank me with my own gag.

[He simply grins at the bad joke. Doesn't appear that the thing stalking him is actually putting him off too much.]

let me know if you see it again, cause they seem like theyve run off. anyway, you want some more bad jokes to help you sleep? or I can tell a bedtime story.

[warriorscribe]

[Enoch chuckles a little halfheartedly at the pun, visibly nervous. He's still not accustomed to the artificial glare of the tablet's screen, but sometimes, when he happens to tilt it just a fraction in the right direction, he sees the shadows behind Sans slip and shift.]

I'm...honestly not sure. I think I can see something behind you, still, but it could be a trick of the light...

[He doesn't sound convinced; it's nothing like what he's seen before.]

3 IT'S TIME TO GET 2SPOOKY

[dioception]

[Okay so at first, he thought this was a kid just kind of tugging on the arm of a skeleton, and upon further inspection, that was pretty close to what it is... except that this kid was also actually a skeleton.

What was Dio even supposed to say to that. A skeleton kid in a hoodie talking to a skeleton. He hadn't drank enough to deal with this right now, and he should really just turn away and leave, but this was really just too strange of an incident to pass up without some sort of interaction, so the vampire heaves a sigh, making his way over to the two skeletons.]

Doesn't look like this one's as chatty as you are. And it's a might bit more naked.

oh no it's 2spooky

[skelepuns]

[Hey just because he was really short and maybe a little immature sometimes didn't mean he was a kid, that was just rude Dio. He paid bills, he clearly qualified as an adult.

Sans looked over his shoulder at Dio and gave a tiny grin.]

maybe not the strangest thing I've ever seen, but naked plastic skeletons is... not something I expected to run into. humans dont make a whole lot of sense sometimes.

Re: oh no it's 2spooky

[dioception]

[Well you certainly couldn't tell that he paid bills by looking at him, what with his posture and hoodie, and the being a skeleton. That tended to make one think that you have less responsibilities. I mean, Dio was a vampire. Do you think he paid bills at all??? NO.]

To be honest, it is not more strange to run into clothed, taking skeletons, though I must agree on the second front.

/SLAMS ON | three

[barkingchaos]

[Squeak squeak squeak.

Don't worry, Sans. No one saw you...except for the wolfdog with the pink collar, chewing on the foot of the plastic skeleton happily.

Squeak squeak squ-

Well, okay. She didn't see you at first, but after he speaks, Rahti's ears prick up, and the albino wolfdog stops chewing on the plastic skeleton to trot over to Sans, sniffing his pants before sitting down and tilting her head.

Okay. Uh.....where is his flesh smell. Why does she smell nothing but bones what is this]

hey sorry for being late to respond to this, been in a bad funk lately

[skelepuns]

[Whoa whoa whoa. Some of Sans's friends were dogs, but he tried his best to keep some boundaries in place. Being a skeleton he had to be a bit careful about getting chewed on. So when Rahti came trotting over, Sans took a cautious step back.]

whoa didn't see you there.

[He very slowly held his palm out for Rahti to sniff.]

hey pal, don't start chewing on me, ok?

it's ok, I've been there!

[barkingchaos]

[Don't worry, sans - She won't hurt you. After a quick sniff (and a thought about taking a lick, but he might react badly) she looks up at him and 'smiles', panting.

And then she breaks the 'dog' facade entirely.]

I won't! What's your name, mister?

[What's REALLY interesting is that she sounds like....well, like what would happen if a dog tried to talk human words.

Then again, Sans might be used to that sort of accent, considering.]
