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: LIKE A MOTH TO A FLAME
Something about the light of the tablet just seems so alluring. You feel compelled to it, checking the network every free moment, and getting agitated when you can't; you need to talk to people, you need to talk to them now, and hopefully they'll actually respond. Maybe others are having similar attachment problems...

Only one way to find out.

TWO: CAN WE GET ANOTHER LIFELINE OR TWO?
So that's it. You're stuck. Maybe there's some kind of a coded message you simply can't decipher. Maybe it's as simple as something's blocking your way and you've got a few tools scattered around, but you can't figure out how to use them to solve whatever puzzle is keeping you from progressing. Or maybe it's something else entirely. Either way, you have no idea how to get around it.

Luckily for you, there's a whole network full of helpful - or maybe unhelpful - souls. Perhaps it's time to ask for some assistance? Someone else is bound to have some kind of insight.


Action Prompts
THREE: SWING BATTER BATTER SWING BATTER BATTER SWING
The toy store is nice and cozy, even though sometimes it feels like the dolls are watching you. So you've stayed here for just a little too long, and you're starting to notice... things. But that's just your imagination, right? They can't actually be watching you. They can't actually be moving, either. That door opening? Those footsteps? Maybe they're just a figment of your imagination.

...or maybe they're not. Maybe you should take a baseball bat to whoever that is and find out.

FOUR: A FATAL FUGUE
Sunset is fast approaching. You can see some buildings up ahead - if you hurry, you'll make it indoors just in time. But wait! Do you hear someone calling for help and feel compelled to investigate? Do you feel a debilitating headache coming on? Or do you suddenly get a really, really bad feeling about actually walking through those doors?

If you don't snap out of it, it could be deadly. Luckily, there's someone already in that house that might be able to drag you to safety, with or without your approval.

That was like, the second thing I tried. It's indestructible, like everything else.

[Come on, Cloud, none of this is helping!]

I tried asking nicely, too. Maybe you should give it a shot.

[W E L P.

Look at you. Calling him on his shit.]


Tried punching in the number backwards?

[He'd usually leave this sort of thing to Kunsel, okay.]

[Fiona swings the tablet back around to face the door.]

It's not all letters and numbers. Symbols, too, and those aren't on the keypad.

[She sighs. Lock picking she can do. Code breaking is definitely not at all her thing.]

We might as well start guessing at this point.
meteorrains: (Decipher All The Signs)

[personal profile] meteorrains 2016-03-07 07:35 pm (UTC)(link)
Wouldn't want those eight years to go to waste.

[In other words, he has no idea what any of those symbols are supposed to be. Except one looks oddly like a set of bunny ears.]

Any other clues or just what's on the door?
plundering: (075)

[personal profile] plundering 2016-03-07 07:48 pm (UTC)(link)
At least someone has my best interests in mind.

[It was more like a half hour, but. Details. She pauses for a moment, looking around the room again, which is unfortunately pretty bare.]

Nothing else I can see.

[The door is getting a half-hearted kick with the toe of her boot, though.]
meteorrains: (Got A Reputation For Yourself Now)

[personal profile] meteorrains 2016-03-07 08:02 pm (UTC)(link)
Sounds like someone needs to.

[Half an hour. Eight years. Same thing.

Let's see. There's the bunny ears. And that... that definitely looks like a carrot.

Which begs the question; What do rabbits and vegetables have to do with a cipher?]


Any idea what a rabbit has to do with anything?
plundering: (008)

[personal profile] plundering 2016-03-07 08:12 pm (UTC)(link)
Uh...

[What. Okay, that does sort of look like a rabbit?]

I found a keychain with a rabbit on it in the other room.

[Which she kept. Because it's cute. She takes a second to unhook the bunny from her pack, and then she's examining it in the light from the tablet. There's nothing written on it, but there is a serial number stamping into the rabbit's butt.]

Think this has anything to do with it?

[THAT WOULD BE STUPID. So it probably does.]

[Considering he recently went on an entire quest that was spurred on by a single visit from a ghost cat, it actually wouldn't be the weirdest thing he's seen happen lately.]

Couldn't hurt to try.

[What will be behind door number one? A million rabid rabbits? A ton of moldy rabbit pellets? A stock of once fresh and now barely recognizable carrots?

Another door, smaller door? Curious minds want to know.]
plundering: (025)

[personal profile] plundering 2016-03-07 08:35 pm (UTC)(link)
Alright. Let's give it a try.

[She punches the serial number into the keypad, which flashes once before the door unlocks audibly.]

Nice.

[Swinging the door open, andddd...

Fiona jumps, letting out a very undignified noise as the light from her screen falls on what looks like, at first glance, to be some sort of horrific, eyeless, severed bunny head hanging from the ceiling of a closet.]


Shit.

[It's just the head of some sort of mascot suit. Least cool reaction ever. Give her a second to get her heartbeat back under control, Cloud.]
meteorrains: (Hidden Meanings Deep Inside)

[personal profile] meteorrains 2016-03-07 08:44 pm (UTC)(link)
Guess those eight years weren't wasted after all.

[And then door is swinging open-

And what lies inside is far more horrific than anything he could have possibly imagined.

There's a definite moment's worth of cringing before the realization catches up with him.

This? This is going to be the sound of Cloud laughing at you, Fiona. Please enjoy it.]


You gonna make it?
plundering: (066)

[personal profile] plundering 2016-03-07 08:50 pm (UTC)(link)
[WOW CLOUD.]

Ugh. Shut up.

[Fiona yanks the head down and peers inside.]

Is this seriously it? Some loser's fursuit?
meteorrains: (But I Just Liked Your Tattoos)

[personal profile] meteorrains 2016-03-07 08:52 pm (UTC)(link)
[Like you wouldn't have done the same thing in his position.]

Maybe it'll look good on you.
plundering: (052)

[personal profile] plundering 2016-03-07 08:54 pm (UTC)(link)
[No, she totally would have.]

Is that the kind of thing you're into? Because you can have it.
meteorrains: (Hidden Meanings Deep Inside)

[personal profile] meteorrains 2016-03-07 09:01 pm (UTC)(link)
[Then don't get so offended.

What is this?

What is this?

Someone who can finally out sass him. What a precious, precious gift.]


Clever.
plundering: (003)

[personal profile] plundering 2016-03-07 09:04 pm (UTC)(link)
Hey, I try.

[It's a beautiful, natural gift or something.]

Seriously, you want it? You might have trouble squeezing your hair inside, though.
meteorrains: (We Both Remember What I Said)

[personal profile] meteorrains 2016-03-07 09:07 pm (UTC)(link)
Think I'll pass.

[Excuse you, he knows you did not just make a dig at his hair.]

Wouldn't you have the same problem with that thing you call a hat?
plundering: (042)

[personal profile] plundering 2016-03-07 09:10 pm (UTC)(link)
[w o w, Cloud, don't talk shit about the hat.]

My hat is amazing, thanks. But I guess you wouldn't know class, with that sweater vest you've got going on.
meteorrains: (Everybody Knows And I Feel Left Out)

[personal profile] meteorrains 2016-03-07 09:15 pm (UTC)(link)
[That's what she gets for insulting his hair. Deal with it.]

Don't be jealous. I'm sure you'll find something better eventually.
plundering: (009)

[personal profile] plundering 2016-03-07 09:21 pm (UTC)(link)
You never struck me as the optimistic type. Think I should go all black for that brooding and mysterious look?
meteorrains: (Ever Since I Left The City You)

[personal profile] meteorrains 2016-03-07 09:24 pm (UTC)(link)
Don't want people to think you're trying too hard.
plundering: (032)

[personal profile] plundering 2016-03-07 09:25 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah? Are you speaking from experience?
