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...

DOOMED...

[ Between the stuttering words and the small smile turned wide eyes, it doesn't take much for Zack's expression to soften. Looks like the kid's had a rough first day or so there. And it's only going to get rougher from here in. It's more than enough reason for him to take the blanket he had been huddled in and drape it around the new occupant's shoulders.

The question admittedly makes him stiffen... but in the end, if he doesn't pull away, Zack puts a hand on the boy's shoulder, giving it a squeeze.
]

I'm not gonna let you freeze, no. [ He nods in further confirmation before offering: ] It's Zack, by the way.
seekthelight: (This is gonna be good)

YUP.

[Sora's been through his fair share of terrible things. The difference between those times and now? He had people with him. When he'd arrived in this place he'd been alone and that was honestly scarier than anything else. No Donald, no Goofy. No Kairi or Riku. It was just him in a strange world without a keyblade.

So yeah, he was a little scared and a little unsure of all of this.

But the blanket around his shoulders, a gesture of kindness that Sora greatly appreciates, has his smile reappearing in a soft manner and he allows the other's hand to rest on his shoulder.]


Thanks. I'm Sora! [A bit warmer now and feeling at ease thanks to having shelter, he's more than willing to perk up some.] It's nice to meet you, Zack.
heroproceeding: (you think I'm being serious when I'm jus)

=v Your heart buddy is probably bluescreening right about now. Eh, Ven.

[ Being a little scared and a little unsure in a situation? That's... That's very understandable.

But in all the fear and despair Zack's faced, it just makes that gratitude light up like a beacon. Casts a flicker of surprise across the SOLDIER's face before his smile widens marginally. It's been a while since he's seen someone this genuinely bright in the dark of the situation. It's kinda refreshing.
] Likewise. [ He nods in emphasis. ] Can't say this is the place I would'a picked to meet, but eh.

[ There's a vague shrug before he just leaves it at that, already shifting away to go tuck his hands into his pack, rummaging. ] So, Sora. You eat anything lately?
