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.
well, there's always the tried and true message of chucking it in the toilet that'll fix it for sure trust me i'm an expert at tech support please be aware this call is being monitored for quality assurance
You'd need to make thing that can withstand being frozen and thawed--and therefore wet--in this environment anyway. It's about time.
But 2050? Didn't realize we were that far into the future. [If he's noticed the newfound cooperation of his tablet, he's not commenting on it. It's like when the nurses notice it's quiet on the unit: there is nothing worse than using the word itself--it's like asking for chaos to break loose.]
that'd be on account of the nanobots swimming around in our veins mn and nima look em up oh or the who whole everyone is dying of radiation sickness thing that happened a week ago go ahead i'll wait
[Good thing you were patient enough to wait, House--because Foreman does go to look it up. It doesn't take him too long to skim through the information, to poke through the network, and to realize that House isn't full of shit.]
So we're all dying of radiation sickness, all of the time, but for these nanomachines and the admin--NM and NIMA. Which seemed fine, except for when they lost power, which occurred just a week ago, at which point everyone above ground did start actively suffering the symptoms of radiation sickness.
This sounds like a bad sci-fi movie, except it's happening.
To be fair, most of the time you're full of it and nobody should believe you. I think I'd take the unholy monstrosity of the depths theory above the nanomachine theory if I didn't know you.

If the on and off switch worked do you think I'd still be fighting with the thing?
I'm sorry. I don't understand that command. Please say a command.
