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: 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...
Oh, uh, wow. I don't recognize any of those. It could be worse! At least they aren't trying to offer you male enhancement pills! Or sign you up for weekly skag enthusiast newsletters. Orrr sell you discounted organs at low, low prices.
Unless they *are* doing those things, in which case I'm pretty sure that it couldn't be worse and you can disregard everything that I just said.
Oh, no! No skags!! There's a man with a big dog, though, which is almost the same thing. Right? ^w^ And the monsters here have a nasty habit of imitating things that are familiar, so. I suppose theoretically, skags could be a possibility? Huh. Maybe even monsters that imitate Vault guardians!! I think I'll just. Hope to hell that isn't the case.
[ She has to wonder... are skags just native to Pandora?
Okay, the mention of a vault guardian makes her double take. To herself. Silently. ]
soo....... ignore me if this sounds crazy... but these vault monsters or guardians - they're not here, right? how do you know about vaults? they're kind of a big deal where i'm from
I'm relatively sure that Vaults are a big deal wherever they show up! (*≧▽≦) Though here isn't one of those places. As far as we know. That means no guardians, either! Which is sort of ironic, considering my username. >w>; To answer your other question, they're a huge deal where I come from, too. Pandora - and Elpis - seem to be a major hotspot for Eridian activity! ♥
i could care a bit less about guardians and vaults when i'm getting mass-spammed, honestly... one thing at a time lol oh. hey, pandora is a name recognize. did you live there?
I certainly did! :O And if you recognize the name, it's a safe bet that you did, too. Or that you're employed by a company with interest in the planet and its resources, of course! In which case I suppose you could live off-world ( ｰ̀εｰ́ ) Which is the case for you? Or, um, *was* the case. If you don't mind me asking!
Angel is clearly talking to a real live bandit!! ]
You're a Pandoran native?? That's neat. I moved there - a thing with my dad's job, you know? For the record, silver spoons are thoroughly overrated. (^u^); Your life must have been so exciting!
Dude, ew. I hope those moments were the *good* kind of exciting, at least?
And right ┐(‘～`;)┌ I didn't really do any travelling at all. I worked from home once I got old enough to help out, so!! Dad qualified as a space commuter, though, I guess. Just between the planet and Helios, but that counts! Right?
[ Exciting, but obviously one big clusterfuck after another.
The way she talks so casually about her family commuting to Pandora makes her a bit wary. Dramatic flashback to all Hyperion scum visiting and mucking up Pandora even more... ]
yeah. it counts. it's pretty common. most people show up to pandora, can't cut it, so they sail back off into space. it's more of a bragging right at this point.
Mmmmm You don't sound too happy about it!! Not that I can blame you, considering what was happening on Pandora before I ended up here. Handsome Jack was mining the planet for Eridium and things were getting pretty messed up! I don't suppose that rings any bells?? It might help show how disparate our timelines are, if nothing else! ^^;
