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: WAKEY WAKEY You're drawn out of your slumber when your tablet emits an earsplitting SCREECH. No amount of shaking it or hitting it will get it to shut up for five whole minutes, but at the very end it cuts itself off what sounds like a piercing scream. Well, that was weird. Maybe you should check in on the network - someone might have an idea of what that was. Or maybe they'll be just as lost as you are. At least you can all be confused together... TWO: DON'T LET THE BEDBUGS BITE... It's past curfew, and you've been locked in for the night. But for some reason, you just can't manage to get to sleep. Nightmares giving you grief? General insomnia problems? Well, at least you've got the network to keep you company. Maybe you can get someone to tell you a bedtime story. Action Prompts THREE: INCONVENIENCE STORE Congratulations, you've managed to stumble upon the Mallard River Market! But you're not alone. Among the shelves of junk food (just as well-stocked as you would expect from any normal store) you'll find one - or more! - other people there with you. Here's hoping you're not both after the same box of Frosted Toaster Pastries, because things could get ugly fast. Don't linger too long, either; at 7PM, you'll be compelled to leave whether you want to or not and will only have about an hour to find somewhere to take shelter... FOUR: RUN RUN RUN AS FAST AS YOU CAN It's late. It's cold. There's a bunch of snow around you and you can sort of make out vague shapes in the distance that might be buildings, but in these conditions it's hard to tell. Regardless of what they are, though, you're going to want to hustle - if it hits 8PM and you're still outside, you're not going to make it through the night. Perhaps that person up ahead can help you? Or - if you're already safe and sound - maybe you should head outside to get that poor soul struggling outside in to shelter before they freeze. Good luck!

[ He blinks at her nervousness. Music wasn't something that was really 'worth' another thing, was it? It was just a thing. Link had offered because he couldn't tell a story in return. Well, he knew a story, but he didn't quite know how to tell it.

Not for the first time, he misses Navi acutely. She would be able to tell a story...

She's not here though. He puts her out of his mind for now and gives Duck a nod. His expression is still fairly neutral, but there's a suggestion of a smile at his lips now. Even without an open one his eyes remain gentle, however. ]

I'd like that.

[Thankfully, Duck is used to people who are most expressive in their eyes. Or, well, one person, at any rate.]

Great! Okay, here goes! [She takes a deep breath. Here's hoping she doesn't try to get through it all in one quick go.]

Once upon a time there was a mermaid--um, a person who's half-fish and half-girl! [She has learnt that not everyone in this town is from the same place, so she adds that just in case he doesn't know what a mermaid is.] She really liked to sing, and she had the most beautiful voice in the entire ocean! But she didn't want to be in the ocean anymore, she wanted to live on land, with the handsome prince who was the most wonderful dancer in the kingdom. She wanted to sing for him and watch him dance!

[...now that she thinks about it, this story isn't entirely dissimilar to her own...

She pauses as a flush creeps up her face. Well, at least she didn't rush through the whole thing at once.]

[ Half girl, half fish? Well, there's one woman Link immediately pictures. His finacee, as a matter of fact. Whatever that means - something to do with marriage. Whatever it was, he nods as Duck describes a mermaid, encouraging her to go on.

When she starts to blush, he tilts his head and raises his eyebrows, the openly curious expression gentle and encouraging her to share what the problem was. That was the intention of it, anyway.

Maybe he should say something... ]

We call them Zora.
