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: IT WON'T BE LONG NOW...
Well, you made a mistake. You spent too long searching around, or you ran outside near the end of the day for just one more thing, and now you've been locked out. You can search around all you want, but the best shelter you can hope for is pressing against the side of a sealed up building. You do still have your tablet, though. Maybe someone on the network can give you some advice, or at least some comfort while you wait for hypothermia to set in.

TWO: CABIN FEVER
Maybe you didn't want that mistake of getting caught outside to happen again, but now you've ended up staying too long in one location, and cabin fever has set in. Maybe you're taking to the network to try and ignore the hallucinations. Maybe you want to tell everyone that you've figured out they're all in on your kidnapping. Maybe you ended up wandering off and now you'd really like to know if anyone can check back in the place you were at for your pants.


Action Prompts
THREE: AN UNEXPECTED MEETING
You're going about your business searching what seems like it might be an especially promising house--it's fully intact and there's even a working fireplace with some wood! It looks like someone else has the same idea, though, and you've run into them in the middle of your search. Do you share the potential wealth or try to kick them out? On the other hand, maybe you know who this is, or maybe you're just glad to actually see another person for the first time in ages.

FOUR: GOOD MORGUE-NING
You've just woken up in a morgue after dying in one unfortunate way or another. You have no idea where you are beyond that, but your tablet is insisting you can't stay here, so you should probably get out of here pretty quickly. Of course, bringing people back from the dead isn't a perfect science, so you're missing something important to you. Maybe you've lost your voice, maybe you can't remember where you're from, maybe you can't remember where you are right now. It looks like someone else is nearby, though. Maybe they can help you out?

Squall "Leon" Leonhart | Kingdom Hearts 2

[Leon had been busy... experimenting. "If you stay too long in the same cabin you'll go crazy" insisted someone when he suggested to organize some kind of headquarter and he wanted to check how dangerous it could be. If the effects weren't too strong he could consider to prepare two house and maybe organize a small group with a couple of guards to keep their belongings in a safe place and have the strongest -like him- as scavengers. Somehow the idea was immediately dropped as soon as the door locked itself for the night. What a moment earlier was an almost comfortable living room had now a rancid smell, most of the forniture was ruined and covered in mold... ]
...
[Disgusted he moved in and tried to touch where he knew there was a chair a moment earlier just to find the area empty. Wait, was he really sure he had seen a chair in the room? He could barely tell how the building was a moment ago... or where he was. The man slowly moved to the broken couch stumbling here and there where the wooden planks of the floor were curved or broken but as soon as he thought to be safe until morning -he just had to close his eyes and wait while repeating himself that nothing he saw was real- a familiar voice reached his ears "You failed them again, son...". ]
Cid?
[Jumping on his feet to look behind his shoulders only confirmed him he was alone... until he turned back to return in his initial position. He cursed, fell on the floor and crawled away from what was a disgusting pile of rotting meat that resembled two people he cared about. No, he already let Rinoa die, Yuffie and Aerith had to be safe in Radiant Garden and he... he... couldn't convince himself. His hand reached for the tablet and the camera, even if Leon couldn't trust other he could still try to sound nonchalant about his questions. A few buttons were pressed, quickly, and the camera was pointed to what he saw as the ninja's lifeless face.]
W-what do you see?
[An empty and clean fireplace, that's all the video shown.]

B

[What a wonderful cabin: he found wood, a fireplace and even a tattered blanket, with the food he got in the previous house he visited he could consider himself... probably safe until morning. Leon was almost going to settle down for the night when he heard the door open. Oh, great, a potential threat, just when he was about to rest.]
Who's there?

[Supplies. They're hard to come by, so there is a reason whenever anyone finds another building to stave off the cold overnight that they immediately set to searching every room, after ensuring the door is barricaded shut. Along with the threat of monsters, ensuring the place is safe to stay in. So it's no surprise as Hiro enters he isn't immediately aware of anyone else present, until he gets to searching the room Leon was in.

He pauses, stiffening at the voice, but then, none of the monsters talk. As far as he knows. Which means....probably someone else the admin pulled in. Not a familiar voice, which still has him a little cautious, but he isn't reacting by brandishing his broom at least, as he does slowly enter.]


Hey? I'm Hiro. Hiro Hamada. And you are--?

[Leon relaxed his muscles and sighed, thank God it wasn't a monster. It was stupid of him to settle in the living room without checking the rest of the cabin first but he was tired and the fact that the creatures of Norfinbury didn't seem able to teleport inside houses like his universe's heartlesses did... his brain tricked him into feeling a false sense of security and it worked. It definitely wasn't going to happen again.]

Leon. Looks like we're going to share this cabin for the night.

[Yes, Hiro could still try to find another shelter for the night, but Leon wasn't going to leave that place until morning. The simple idea of sleeping in a warm place for once was too tempting.]

baymaxing: (To the future)

[personal profile] baymaxing 2015-10-21 05:55 am (UTC)(link)
[Really, he isn't so surprised to find someone else. This is not the first time he's run into others when attempting to find shelter overnight. Leon hasn't outright attacked him or anything yet, so he figures he should be fine in staying. There's not much time if he did want to try for somewhere else anyway, at this point.]

Leon, right. Well, yeah. Looks like it. You new? I don't think I've seen you around, even with the tablets.
canyouhandlethismany: (Default)

[personal profile] canyouhandlethismany 2015-10-21 07:29 pm (UTC)(link)
[Leon frowns and shrughs, he checked every single message or video posted on the network but he never really had to add anything... and just took mental note of anything relevant.]

I have been around for a couple of days [That's a lie, he has been in Norfinbury for more than a week, but that's the easiest way to avoid questions.] I don't use the tablets too much and I've been busy scavenging around.
baymaxing: (My childhood)

[personal profile] baymaxing 2015-10-22 10:21 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah? Fair enough. I don't respond to everything myself. I did notice some new guys showing up though. Just hadn't run into any like this yet.

[Not that he's complaining. It's pretty rare to manage to run into anyone else simply by chance even. And he's sure there is way more to this place they haven't yet discovered in their wanderings and exploration and searching.]

Find anything useful during said scavenging yet?

[He sounds calm, but there's something about his expression that seems... Off. Tifa can't quite place it, but it's a little concerning.]

A fireplace. Why? Is something wrong?

[Tifa! Not his Tfa but in his world she still represented a good friend in his world... and maybe she was one of the few who weren't against him. Oh, everything was so clear now, it was all a conspiracy to keep him away from Radiant Garden!]

No. It's all okay. [His hands were shaking, he just wanted to run away but doors weren't going to open until Morning.] This room- please, Tifa, tell me what do you see. Do you see anyone else around? [ He closed his eyes and moved the camera around showing what seemed to be one of the most comfortable living rooms in the whole area... but it definitely wasn't what he was seeing.]

I'm not... Tifa, are you sure you don't see anything wrong by the fireplace? Bodies? [Usually calm and collected even in the worst situations, he was definitely one step away from freaking out like a scared child]

[Tifa had never bothered creating a username on the network, so it isn't shocking that he knows her name, considering it's displayed pretty prominently. But the way he's using it, with so much familiarity, unsettles her a bit.

And the way he's acting unsettles her more. Cabin fever? She'd had to explained to her, but she's never seen someone suffering from it first hand.]


It's just you. [She hesitates for a split second.] No bodies. What's your name?
canyouhandlethismany: (Default)

[personal profile] canyouhandlethismany 2015-10-20 09:23 pm (UTC)(link)
[And he repeats her name another couple of times, it's surprisingly hard to keep in mind she's a dear friend even if they started almost hostile to each other. But she had to find cloud and he was in the way, it was only natural. Yes, Tifa is a friend, an ally, not one of the crazy and cruel people who wander around in Norfinbury. If she couldn't see anyone else in that room, maybe...]

Are you... Sure?
[He points the camera at the fireplace once more, all he needs is to be reassured again. And again. And Again. The cabin fever already erased the little self control he had left... Leon is shivering, he sounds scared and desperate, but who wouldn't be in front of Yuffie and Aerith's corprses?]
The girls, I see them and they are... wait- why are you asking me my name? It's me, Leon! Remember the good times at the Coliseum? Or when you suplexed me in Ansem's... I get it now, you're not Tifa, you're just another sick trick of this place! I don't care if you treat me like a toy or a guinea pig but I... you... What did you do to the real Tifa? Did you kill her too?
[He sounds angry for a moment, then there's a long silent pause and he starts... sobbing. The strong, proud and stubborn Leon who does his best to appear strong in any situation is crying like a child. He was going to hate himself for that and his stupid idea to test the effects of cabin fever.]
This has to be a nightmare... this has to be a nightmare... this has to be a nightmare.

[personal profile] powersouls 2015-10-20 10:39 pm (UTC)(link)
[Well, she does have a mean suplex, but none of this makes sense. Luckily (or unfortunately) she has experience dealing with mental instability. That doesn't mean she's good at it, of course, but maybe she can just play along for now. Would that make him feel better?]

Leon... [She frowns, shifting a bit closer to her tablet.] Leon, it's all right. I just didn't recognize your voice at first. [It's a blatant lie, but he's crying, and she doesn't know what else to do. Who the hell is Ansem, anyway?] You're safe, it's okay, you're just... Seeing things. It's a trick.

[Tifa has no clue if she's actually helping or if this is making everything so much worse. But if she'd been hallucinating and someone like Cloud didn't recognize her, she thinks she would be that much more frightened.]
canyouhandlethismany: (013)

[personal profile] canyouhandlethismany 2015-10-21 02:42 am (UTC)(link)
[Oh, of course it doesn't. Leon will be surprised to find out there are two different worlds and almost perfect copies of his companions, he will try to learn more, understand more (and eventually end up awkwardly protective around Aerith and/or Yuffie if they'll ever show up after those hallucinations), but... not now. Now he's unstable and crazy, ]

... [He stares for a long moment to the screen, leaning closer to it and offering Tifa a splendid view of his pale skin covered in sweat, tears and his wonderful dark bags under the eyes.] It's driving me crazy, Tifa. There are bugs everywhere, Yuffie and Aerith are dead and even if you say it's a trick it seems so real. I can smell them, I can feel cockroaches crawling on my skin, it... I can try and focus on other things but you have to swear they're not here

[It seems to help, probably because he wants to believe her. Maybe Tifa is the newest addition to the committee but she still represents home in his mind.]

powersouls: (Default)

[personal profile] powersouls 2015-10-21 03:39 am (UTC)(link)
[This is getting more and more disturbing, but then he mentions Aerith and Yuffie. Aerith. Tifa inhales sharply. It doesn't make sense, that he can know all of them and she doesn't remember him at all, but Aerith's loss is still so fresh that Tifa can't even focus on that. Aerith's body, covered in insects... The thought is so horrifying that her mind recoils from it immediately. She has to take a moment to collect herself before continuing. ]

There's nothing there.

[She's repeating herself, but this time she sounds shaken.]

It's just because you've stayed in one place for too long.
canyouhandlethismany: (Default)

[personal profile] canyouhandlethismany 2015-10-21 02:41 pm (UTC)(link)
[He curls on the couch trying to press his forehead with the (for him) uncomfortable mess that are its pillows. He remembers something about not staying in a cabin for too long and maybe if he doesn't look at the girls he won't completely freak out. At least until morning when he will be compelled to abandon the house and find another shelter before the fever goes away...]

Are you sure? I... It's possible. Why did I stay here for so long anyway?
...
But it makes sense, I spent so long in this room, if they arrived I... I mean, it's not like you can't ignore Yuffie, right? And I would have... you see when someone kills someone else right in front of you, right?

[Leon is so confused he doesn't even notice her tone of voice, but he seems a bit calmer now.]

I'm sorry, you shouldn't see me like this.
powersouls: (001)

[personal profile] powersouls 2015-10-21 03:40 pm (UTC)(link)
[You definitely notice when someone is killed in front of you. And the way he talks about Yuffie cements in her mind that he really does know her. Does this place tamper with memories or something? She can't remember ever meeting a Leon, though, and she's certain she would remember someone with such a prominent scar.

When he apologies, she shakes her head and smiles. She's mostly gotten herself under control now.]


No, it's all right. We'll just have to get you through the night. Stay strong, okay?

[She's willing to sit and talk with him for as long as he likes, although she's a little nervous about saying something wrong and making him think she's some sort of hallucination again.]

canyouhandlethismany: (005)

[personal profile] canyouhandlethismany 2015-10-24 08:22 pm (UTC)(link)
[Okay, he can try to trust her. Her voice still feels familiar and she... she loved Yuffie and Aerith when thy were alive, didn't she? Oh, Gods, the smell of their bodies- no, he had to stay focused ]

Yes. Thank you, Tifa. I will try to sleep and ignore... them. Can you just.. keep the tablet with you? I may need some company. And be careful, you can trust no one here.

[Not going to happen, someone here is going to spend the night walking around and mourning his girls, often waking up people to ask what they can see in certain dark corners of the room. Sora, Riku, Cid, Cloud, Rinoa... everyone will show up at some point, some will even talk with him. It's going to be a long night for everyone who is willingly to listen.]

[ooc: Shall we eventually skip to the next day? When he's lucid again?]
powersouls: (018)

[personal profile] powersouls 2015-10-25 06:11 am (UTC)(link)
Of course.

[She's not sure about not trusting anyone. She doesn't think any of them are going to get through this without a bit of trust, but it's not really the best time to argue that point.]

[ooc: Totally cool with skipping forward!]
canyouhandlethismany: (012)

[personal profile] canyouhandlethismany 2015-10-26 12:45 pm (UTC)(link)
[There are sounds, short videos and empty messages sent randomly during the night, he can be heard screaming at some point, then only silence as soon as the doors are finally open.

Another video starts later, in the evening, and this time it's a private recording for Tifa: he is sitting in what seems a different house and he definitely regained control over himself. The man still seems a bit awkward, embarassed perhaps, but who wouldn't be afer last night?
]

I was experimenting. Moving back and forth from a building to another, only sleeping in the same building everytime- it didn't work.

[He frowns and looks away from the camera, the images of Yuffie and Aerith are still vivid in his mind and it's not pleasant even if he knows it was all a massive Hallucination. He's sure he saw Cid and Rinoa's heartlesses at some point, Sora called from help, but his mind was already so broken it only took bits from those visions. His sisters? Their corpses? Shit, heartless killed people everyday but they never left dead bodies behind, how long had it been from the last time he saw one?]


I won't repeat the same mistake. [He pauses for a moment and sighs] Thank you for your support, Tifa. I didn't know you were trapped here as well. Have you see anyone else?
powersouls: (023)

[personal profile] powersouls 2015-10-26 05:57 pm (UTC)(link)
[Experimenting? Tifa wouldn't do it, herself. She understands, maybe, wanting to see if what everyone is saying is true or just a rumor. But she doesn't feel it's worth the risk.

She shakes her head at his thanks. She'd want someone to do the same for her, and they have to help each other to get through this. But there's that familiar tone again, and now that the cabin fever is gone, she's not sure what to think of it. With Zack being alive, and the situation with Cloud, she doesn't know how to approach this. Is it her memories that are wrong? How can so many of them have experienced things differently, or not at all?

She decides to probe a bit before just jumping in and telling him.]


Zack and Cloud are here. I haven't seen anyone else, have you?

[If he recognizes their names, as well, she is going to be deeply thrown off.]

[personal profile] canyouhandlethismany 2015-11-02 12:04 pm (UTC)(link)
[Oh, he still has to realize that's not his Tifa. He knows so many people from Tifa's world and at the same time he never met them... it will be fun to figure out what's going on and it will only add to the general confusion. Leon seems very pratical for now, he just listens and nods- he is not happy with what he just heard but he's keeping a neutral expression for now.]

Cloud is here too? [Who is left home? Aerith isn't a fighter and Yuffie is a healer and supporter, with Tifa and Cloud in the city... who is left protecting home? Leon doesn't like it one bit.] Stick with him, keep this Zack person around only if you can really trust him and be careful. I know you're both strong but enemies here seem to be worse than the ones we have back home and they seem immune to physical attacks.

[He sighs, if they're all in Norfinbury they may as well try to work together, after all they've been a team for a long time... right?]
Is Cloud traveling with you? I'd like to speak with him as well.

[Sans was a bit surprised by the call from Leon, since he'd just been settling down for the night himself. Leon's voice sounded... uneasy, and it got the little skeleton feeling worried. Sans took the tablet in his hands and narrowed his eyesockets, inspecting the video feed.]

what am I supposed to be seeing, bud? there's an empty fireplace.

why, what do you see?

[personal profile] canyouhandlethismany 2015-10-24 07:37 pm (UTC)(link)
I see dead people.

[Congratulations, Sans, you're meeting this gut at his worst. And someone from other planets could probably say he's poorly quoting a great movie right now. ]

This place... it's the worst. And there's my family here, the're all dead because of me. I got them killed.

[He pauses for a long moment staring at the empty space. Illusions are playing with his mind and even thought he swore to protect both Yuffie and Aerith he does feel guity because... because...]

No... I killed them, didn't I?
skelepuns: (you really like swinging that thing arou)

[personal profile] skelepuns 2015-10-25 08:20 am (UTC)(link)
[Wow, ouch. Sans was not expecting that to hit as close to home as it did. The little skeleton lowered his voice in an attempt to calm the other.]

hey pal, stay calm. there's nothing there.

and your family. what happened to them? maybe you're not thinking straight.
canyouhandlethismany: (005)

[personal profile] canyouhandlethismany 2015-10-26 01:08 pm (UTC)(link)
But I can see them, I...

[The camera moves and a hand covered in black leather can be seen touching... the air. His movements are complex, thought, it's like he's actually caressing something...]

I can feel them. They... something cut them in pieces, I... [ The camera is dropped and you can hear him throw up. The screen keeps showing the wooden ceiling for a long moment, then he crawls back to it but the video only turns black as he presses it against his coat.]

I... this is so wrong. I... killed them because I couldn't protect them. Everything I ever did, I did for them. Now they're gone. And I'm still here. Again.
