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.
[Gently, Emily shakes her head.] Not like the rats sometimes. These didn't say anything. I can hear their feet, though. I think they're up there. [She points toward the direction of the vent.]
They weren't real spiders, were they? They didn't make you sick. They made you better.
[He doesn't feel any different. He could be just the same he was before, or worse, poisoned maybe, slowly rotting from the inside. He wouldn't know. He doesn't understand this place at the best of times.]
They did, but I can't tell if they didn't do anything else along with it. They looked like they were made of metal.
So that means someone made them. They could be powered with whale oil. [But she's looking Geralt over a bit just in case he may seem different, in case they may have done something to him she hadn't noticed yet.] I don't know if they will like to be caught.
Maybe we should follow them. What if there's a big web where they hide nearby?
[There's no way he fits into this vent, and he's not leaving a little girl to follow some metal spiders with obviously some kind of power. That's just - there's no way that's happening.]
[Look--she doesn't know he isn't going to let her do something so dangerous, and she doesn't even really see it as dangerous. (Probably because she's never had to deal with Tall Boys, or Walls of Light, or anything else that uses whale oil power.] That's okay!
I can fit in the vents. You just have to get it open and lift me up.
And then what? What if they're dangerous, and I can't help you?
[Geralt shakes his head. This reminds him so, so much of training with Ciri, when she was little and had no fear in the world, no reason to fear anything, climbing the walls of Kaer Morhen. Geralt misses those days.]
[And he's not letting go, whatever you try to do, Emily.]
You know what we could do, too, if you really want to catch one? Think of a plan. A trap.
[No idea how they'd manage, but he's willing to talk about it. Who knows, maybe they can manage. He'd have to get injured again, though, which is not ideal, but if they have a solid idea and good execution...
Geralt is kind of an expert at baiting creatures, after all.]

*^_____^*
Should we try and catch one?

[Which is impossible without magic, really.]

I can't follow them into the vents, Emily.

I'm not letting you do that.

--just a look in the vent then? Or I could listen. You still have to hold me up, though.
no subject
FIne, I'll hold you up to listen closer.
