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: 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...

[The wall is cracked from where the blow landed. His knuckles are bruised under his armor. Vorin can see the blood and ooze staining his gauntlets, hear the squelch and squish of ruptured tissue......he would swear upon his own name that these things were real. Doesn't even think to doubt the senses which have saved his life so many times before. There are still more eyes opening up across the expanse of wall, looking at him, seeming to mark him for something terrible, so Vorin punches those as well.]

I hate invertebrates. And now they've found us.

[There is, of course, nothing there.]

SORRY FOR LATETAG

[Of course. The hallucination isn't shared so Dustin sees the exact sort of nothing that's really there and being punched. Dustin's brand of hallucination, on the other hand, fills in the blanks as he looks around for what the actual hell Vorin is talking about--with a sheet of little spiders moving across the windows, so close together that he almost can't see the outside at all. He could believe it. He knows the little bastards flood the vents, the plumbing, the drywall probably. The drywall that Vorin is starting to crack.]

[Dustin raises the fire poker and keeps walking ahead.]

Yeah, so don't let them in! [He's not stupid enough to put himself between Vorin and the wall he's punching, but he's got just enough gumption to try and guide him away. He aims to thread the pointy hook of the fire poker around one of Vorin's horns as a very rough sort of lead.] Get away from the walls, dumbass!
