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.
[This isn't helping much. Dustin tenses, the pointy end of his fire poker out and tracing a neat path towards Merlwyb's chest as she leans forwards into his space.]
Didn't ask for a lecture on tactics, asswipe.
[Although she's made a more indirect point with him by now--she hasn't attacked him yet. She's cocky, he can see that, either a product of perceived power over him or confidence in experience or greater numbers, but in that case he would assume she wouldn't waste time debating with him. Unless it's the final option, and she's stalling for those reinforcements to show up. Dustin won't discount it.]
You think you can take me on, then don't waste my time trying to herd me around. Get it over with! [Dustin gives the air in front of him a vicious jab with the fire poker.] You keep fucking testing me and that power's gonna be the last thing you see, yeah? Go on! Try me.
Mayhap not, but you would be wise to learn from it.
[ As for the confidence, ehhhhh.... a little of column A, a little of column B...
She can practically smell the smoke pouring out of his ears as his brain kicks into paranoia overdrive though - it's written all over his face and in the tense set of his body. You don't need to have a PHD to know when someone's come a little bit unhinged. Doesn't stop her from continuing to be patronizing though. ]
And what, pray tell, would I accomplish? You have little of value worth the effort. [ Come on now, Dustin. Work it out for yourself. ] If you insist on arguing, do so with someone who has time to spare.
[ She's still acutely aware of the absurdity of the scene: a rabid hobo, menacing a giant with a poker, over a hall pass. You just can't make this tripe up. ]
Heh! [Dustin's mouth curls into a sneer. The little rabid hobo sees some humor in this, but it's not the same sort that Merlwyb sees, which is a bit dangerous.] Not arguing. I'm making a demand. Stay out of my way or I'll teach you a thing or two. Or is the plan to stand here and measure dicks with me until your buddies show up?
[See, now this has turned into an attack on his pride. Clearly much more dire circumstances than someone just trying to kill him. Dustin has his priorities in order.]
