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: YOUR COOPERATION IS APPRECIATED When you wake up, you find that a new application has been downloaded to your tablet. It's titled "SURVEY" and is exactly what it claims to be--although there's no explanation to why it's appeared or what it is for other than the note that claims the survey is not opt-out and that your cooperation is appreciated. And more troubling, the questions become more sinister the farther in you answer. Such questions as, "on a scale of one to ten, how would you rate your stay?" and "have your needs been met in a timely manner?" become more akin to, "if you had to chose between the two, would you eat your hands or your feet to stave off the hunger?" and "are you sure you are not the last one still alive?"
Perhaps someone on the Network would like to discuss what this could mean--and if there are any consequences behind finishing or refusing to take the survey.
TWO: NOT SO HELPFUL AVATARS Every tablet has the option for a customizable avatar that will talk to you and keep your tablet in order. Maybe you set it up, maybe you never checked it. Either way, it keeps popping up unrequested and being sort of... Odd. Flickering, talking in strange, mechanical voices, offering advice that's unhelpful at best and actively harmful at worst... Maybe it's even telling the entire network some things you've been doing you'd rather everyone didn't know.
Time to call tech support. Unfortunately, the best option is other people on the network. Good luck.
Action Prompts
THREE: SPIDERS IN THE WALLS Somehow you or your travel companion injured themselves. A quick call to the admin fixed this, but now you can't help but be gripped with the burning curiosity of where the helpful spiders she deployed have gone. You saw them scramble toward the vents, but by the time paralysis wore off they'd completely disappeared. Only now you can't stop thinking about them. Where do they go to? How can they be trapped or followed? You swear you hear little mechanical pattering inside the walls. Maybe you can find some sort of tool to help you break into a vent around the house. Or maybe your companion can convince you to rest before you hurt yourself.
FOUR: SCHOOL DAYS You've ended up in the elementary school. Maybe you're grabbing more food, maybe you're exploring. Either way, this place is creepy; the atmosphere is the sort that gets the hair on the back of your neck rising (potentially metaphorically, if you don't have hair or a neck). It's not long before strange things start happening. The sound of running and screaming children, doors slamming in far off or nearby hallways, pianos playing... What's going on? It's hard to tell what's really happening from what isn't happening. Maybe someone who's also exploring has some idea.
Uhm... Okay, so, I thought it would be kind of fun to test out that hollow-friend feature? And I'm pretty sure that might be the worst idea ever, and it might be a tupla so I'm having serious reservations about doing anything else. Is, um, anyone else having any problems with it?
Like, is it maybe telling you to just strip and run outside because if so that's one, not a good idea, and two, also not the correct response to wondering if it's possible to make cinnamon toast crunch with just toast and sugar.

Okay my highschool experience was not good but that really had nothing on elementary school. Like, uhh, you talk to me when your whole gymnasium is overrun with hob goblins and talking lizards in the middle of what should be your crowning moment of awesome climbing the rope. Like at least the evil that was Sunnydale high was karmically destroyed in the big bad - or, actually I guess everything was kind of destroyed anyway? But it was definitely the most satisfying to see that come down, even if it was really upsetting at the time.
[ Aren't you lucky. This guy said he was a demon hunter - and he is, for sure, in a way - but this whole trip so far has been a rambling meander down memory lane. He knows his stuff maybe, he's survived a bunch of different apocalypses, but everything is kind of messy and it's not great. Andrew stops mid rant, freezing like a startled chicken at the sound of giggling coming off far down the hall. ]
Okay! That is never a good sign! Let's do - Um. Actually, okay, so crazy theory - how about we just whole up in a classroom and snack on trailmix and make some charts on probable causes?
*He's been quiet and listened to every one of Andrew's little theories and anecdotes, only adding things every so often to confirm he was actually listening. But this was a direct question so he pauses for a moment before replying.*
I guess it wouldn't hurt, but can't ghosts or spirits walk through walls?
*He's pretty sure ghosts can. Not 100% on spirits, though.*

Two; @fenri; audio;
[Because obviously, that's the important thing to be gained from this entire thing.]
