TEST DRIVE MEME

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: PAINT BY NUMBERS
You find yourself startled awake one night to a strange sound coming from your tablet. When you try to make it stop, the screen goes black. At first, everything seems fine when it turns back on. But then you realize that everything has taken on a grainy, pixelated nature. And it's not just the tablet itself, but the people who appear on video messages. The harder you look, the more the pixels take shape--and then you realize that everything is made up of tiny little numbers.

The longer you use your tablet, the more you're sure you see the numbers outside of the screen, as well.

TWO: I'M THINKING OF A NUMBER
You wake up and find a number pops into your head. And suddenly, mysteriously, you can't stop thinking about that number. What was so important that it came to you? You find the number appearing before you in impossible situations. The objects and circumstances that surround you somehow lead to that number. And you feel the need to tell other people about your discoveries. How important this number, whatever the number is, has to be. Maybe you can make them all understand. Maybe they'll be able to help you figure out its significance. Maybe the number will lead you out of here.



Action Prompts
THREE: HAPPY PIE DAY
You and your companion have found a bakery! It's an exciting place to choose to spend the night; not only is it a notably warm and cozy building full of useful tools...but you discover a smorgasbord of freshly baked pies laid out in welcome. How thoughtful! Clearly the spiders were generous with their last restock.

Unfortunately, when you slice into your first still-warm pie, your excitement quickly turns to horror...as each pie spurts and gushes with thick black blood.

FOUR: TAKE DOWN YOUR MEASUREMENTS
The building that you and your traveling companion settle into for lockdown isn't particularly noteworthy. It looks normal from the outside, and looks normal on the inside, too. At least, at first. But something bothers you that keeps you from sleeping. Something off. It takes you awhile to figure out what it is--but then it hits you. It's the walls. The measurements. They don't make sense. None of it adds up. How can this house be standing? How can everything line up the way it does?

You have to figure it out, using whatever you can to collect the numbers and do the math. Maybe your companion wakes up on their own and finds you enthralled in your work, or maybe you wake them up yourselves to tell them your findings. Either way, you need them to see what you're seeing.
