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.
[ The most important thing here, Dick has found out, is staying dry. Which is why he's currently in the process of switching his wet clothes out for dry ones. He seems to have no issue with stripping, though he does it in a very quick and brisk fashion, in the bathroom. The door's open, though. Tony's a guy, it's fine.
Dick is a little worried, though, and it's that last question that has him raising his eyebrow and peeking out around the door. ]
No, I don't, but I'm not going to be disappointed if there ends up being none. Should I be expecting it? Because I really think I've had enough blood on the outside after today.
Mm, well, I'd love to know where she gets those helper bots from.
[His comment is innocent enough. Tony is looking at all corners of the open room that he's in while Dick changes clothes, scanning the corners for weaknesses at the edges and paying particular attention to the vents. Too small for a human. He looks back at the open door of the bathroom.]
But I guess we can't go to them. We'd have to get them to come to us.
[ There's a pause, and then Dick leans around the door to give Tony a very firm Mom look. ] We're not cutting off any limbs to see if the spiders come running.
[Tony looks back with wide, innocent eyes. It's a bit forced, yes, but he's practiced the expression enough to make it look mostly genuine.]
What? Goodness, no, I love our limbs. We can't catch them without all our limbs attached. I was just thinking of giving them some encouragement, that's all. They seem responsive enough.
[He lays that out like a business proposal. See, Dick, the benefits are all there. All they have to do is go for them.]
[ Dick does not buy that innocent look, Tony! He's seen that face on his teammates in the past, he is well experienced in being the Mom Friend. ]
You said your name is Tony, right? [ Dick moves out of the bathroom, going to stand in front of Tony with a skeptical look. ] What's your idea of encouragement, Tony?
You remembered. I'm touched. [As if there was really any reason for Dick to forget. But Tony is playing up the charm and humor, which tends to work when he wants something. Dick doesn't seem like the type to fall for it, but he can always try.]
I just want to invite them out for another visit. [Tony taps on the wall, listening for echoes.] Come on, don't you want to know where they went? Those guys are way more interesting than anything else we have to deal with.
[ Dick is amused, at least, but he deals with Jason back home. He's used to the charm-your-way-in. ]
Okay, I admit that they're interesting. [ Dick agrees, folding his arms. ] I just don't think they're interesting enough to bleed for. What exactly do you think you're going to do with them if they actually do come out? I doubt they're going to let you touch them - they paralyzed me, earlier.
[Tony feels along the wall, tapping in different places and rubbing his palm over the surface like he's smoothing it out. He tilts his head thoughtfully at Dick's questions -- valid ones, to be sure -- and purses his lips a bit.]
I just want to get a better look. Aren't you curious? Even a little tiny bit?
[Come on, Mom, where's your sense of adventure and discovery? Tony does realize that Dick makes a good point, though. He needs to find a way around being paralyzed.]
Okay, then I won't touch them. [He frowns.] I'll need something to hold one. Maybe we can find some old food cans around.
