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!

[ Oh. Oops. Jim realizes he's set off a nerve and is at a complete loss as to what to do about it. A world bound to a single planet - not unlike where they were now - is unimaginable. He'd barely left his sleepy corner of Montressor before the voyage to find Flint's trove, but the possibility was always there for him in the most frustrating moments of claustrophobia. ]

They gave up? Just like that?

[ Christ above. Marie inhales on the cigarette deeply, looking away. Her voice is utterly bitter as she replies, ]

I was born after the 'incident'. I failed to be indoctrinated in the fear. I am the inventor of faster than light travel. I intended to help humanity, but my goals were perverted by others. The test ship is no more.

Are you going to rebuild it?

[ A shiver passes through him, as if to remind him where they are. ]

- If we ever get out of this place.

[ She hesitates. It's not like her to hesitate, but the question strikes her in a strange and painful way.

It was her life's work. It could either save humanity from smothering itself to death on a polluted planet, or it... could be used to kill them all outright, make them slaves to a mad machine.

The dice will always be thrown, Captain, no matter what the stakes. She had said that once, on Earth's surface smoking a cigarette over grey waters as Captain Diego had conveyed to her that he thought the situation was a dangerous one. ]


Yes.

[ Already she was Cassandra. Why not be Sisyphus as well? ]
