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!

Yeah, I know. But without alchemy, it's going to take some time. Like the old days, right? But no, I'm not sure Truth is involved -- I don't see anything, none of those transmutation circles, the alchemical symbols. Something doesn't feel right.

[ back when they didn't know as much, when all they had were books and papers. but here, what happens if Al's seal gets damaged, his armor is damaged? it's a new world entirely for Ed. ]

Are you okay, though? You're safe?

[armoured]

[Al has been so busy worrying about everyone and everything else, that he hasn't even considered what they might do if his body got damaged here. He's relatively sure that it's not like a normal person where he would just heal over time, and Ed doesn't have the alchemy skills to heal him here.]

Yeah, I'm fine, it's just...

[He hesitates. Of all the people, Ed will be the one who truly understands the weight and significance of the next few words.]

...I have to eat here.

[forfeits]

[ count on Ed to worry about every little detail concerning Al, especially in a new place with no alchemy. but he doesn't have much time to worry about Al's armor when the next text comes through.

there's a long pause, silence between messages, before:]

What? How?

[armoured]

I don't know how. I've not got my body back, it doesn't make any sense.

[He's still a hollow suit of armour, he just apparently requires sustenance to live now.]

[forfeits]

That's not possible. Al, you're hollow. If you're eating, where is it going?

[ this is more alarming than anything else he's experienced so far. something in this place has changed the armor Al is in, given it human qualities. it's both exciting and terrifying all at once. ]

How does it feel? It doesn't hurt, does it?
