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: DRUG PUSHING What luck! You've found a bottle of medication...only, oh, it looks like it's a prescription for one of the other people trapped here with you. You have a lot of power in your hands now: you could do the right thing and give it back without a fight, demand a worthy trade to see how badly they want it, or auction it off to the highest bidder. They're not the only ones who could use a painkiller or an antidepressant, after all. If you don't need it for yourself, you're sure to be able to fetch a high price (or bank some high gratitude points) for it from someone. TWO: CHECK YOUR RECEIPTS After a long day of traveling, you reach into your bag to scrounge up some dinner but you find that all of your food has gone bad. Everything, including the rations you stocked up on just yesterday, is covered in a thick layer of mold. Even the packaged nonperishables are somehow spoiled. Your whole backpack reeks of rot, and nothing edible has been spared. Maybe you can restock tomorrow, but what if you're not the only one whose food has been tainted? And what about the meal you had for lunch just hours ago? Your stomach turns. You'd better take to the network to get to the bottom of this Action Prompts THREE: WRITING ON THE WALL You've just settled into a building for the night with your traveling companion when you notice a message left somewhere on one of the walls. It's signed by a username you don't recall ever seeing before. It tells you discoveries and facts about the town you don't think are really real or should be followed. Tells you that they're heading in a direction they're convinced has the exit, and urge you to follow their lead. One of you thinks it's worth consideration. After all, why would anyone leave a message like this if they didn't mean it? But there are risks involved in chasing the assertions. Do you have the resources left to try? FOUR: CORPSE PARTY Just before lockdown, you and your traveling companion are about to seek shelter in the nearest building when you spot a huddled figure nearly buried in the snow. When you get a little closer, you see that it's a person wrapped tightly in a blanket. Neither of you recognizes them, but you can't be sure; the blanket covers their face. They seem to have succumbed to the elements, but it looks like they're still breathing! You manage to drag them into the building with you with seconds to spare. Good job, you've saved somebody's life! But, as you pull apart the blankets to check on your new companion, you realize that they're not a "somebody" at all... And you're locked in with it until morning.

Rations have gone bad, even those recently acquired. I've checked with a few others who have had similar instances of spoilage.

If you need food, let me know.

Four; batman monster-zombie au

[Safety is first priority for someone in the elements. Bruce is too confident to believe he can't handle a stressful situation. Then he gets one.

The hair on the back of his neck beneath the cowl prickles when the blanket is unraveled. At first, for a second, he thinks the person is already dead, frozen solid. Mummified. No--not dead.]

Get back! [His grip is terribly strong when he grabs shoulder and bicep to reel his traveling partner away. Instead of following up, Bruce promotes distance, putting himself in the way and using his bulk to back the two of them out of reach.] When I say run, you run. [His arms part to fan the cape out, shielding.]

Run.

[realhunger]

[Is this guy serious? Really?]

You're just gonna hand out food to complete strangers?

i need way more icons for this man

[srsbat]

[He's serious.]

If theirs is rotten, yes. Do you need some?

yes you do

[realhunger]

Yeah, all my food's bad.

[Oh, well.]

What're ya gonna do to make people pay for it? There's no money here either.

@Spoiler ; video ; two owo

[spoileralert]

Where are you? There aren't a whole lot of places to pick up food, if all of it's bad.

[srsbat]

[Well. Small world.]

A post office.

video

Not a good place for food.

[spoileralert]

[ She just. Kind of stares at him. For a while. Then she lets out a startled laugh. Well, it's good to have quality help. ]

Um, yeah, no food in the post office. You're close to the grocery store, though, so that's good.

So. Hi?

[ She's not wearing her mask, but her identity is clearly not a secret here. ]

[harlequinofhate]

Just go on and eat the weird gray ooze, squire. It's good for ya... What's the worst that could happen, anyway?

....Say, your voice is kinda familiar. Ever vacation in Blue Valley, Nebraska?

excuse me

[srsbat]

I'm more of a Fortress of Solitude kind of person.

[For several seconds, there's no more. Then:] Joker.

<3

[harlequinofhate]

You recognize my voice? Goodness, I'm charmed!

So what is it, why do I recognize that stern tone? I kill your family? Poison your town? Jaywalk in plain sight of a police camera?

Have you ever been to Arkham?

four because all about the garbage train

[acrobatism]

[ Excuse you. He's not running anywhere.

Not dead - whatever that thing is, it's not dead, which freaks the hell out of Dick, but okay, look, he's not going to panic. Instead, he startles and dance-stumbles a step back when Bruce pushes them, and then frowns mightily at Bruce's instructions, a protest already on his lips way before Bruce even gets out the run. ]

Run where exactly - and leave you alone with - absolutely not! [ Annnd the thing on the floor groans, slithering out of the blankets slowly, dragging its long, disgusting nails on the wood. ]

get my damn cinnamon roll son OUT OF HERE

[srsbat]

[Naturally, Bruce still doesn't budge.] Nightwing. [Dick, you made him use The Batman Voice, and he would have full named your ass if aliases weren't so ingrained in him.] Stay back, and don't touch it.

[Warily, he takes another step back, making sure to take Dick with him.] Even if we're separated, you need to find a room without windows, and you need to lock yourself in.

Do you understand?

nope

[acrobatism]

[ Dick can't help the general flinch at The Batman Voice - it's been a while since he's heard it, honestly. Not only is it that voice but it's his alias, too, and his expression sours slightly. Bruce doesn't have to use it here, and Dick doesn't appreciate the orders. ]

I understand you're going to be stubborn about this. [ Dick says, grouchy in return. ] I'm not leaving you behind, sorry. It's not happening.

[ He's bigger than he used to be, Bruce, he's not Robin - not easy to push back. ] We can deal with it together, or we can find shelter from it together. Whatever it is.

[ Whatever it is has reduced to writhing on the floor, making choked, sobbing noises. ]

2 - @1000gentlepoints, voice

[myrmidowned]

[Well, he's never one to turn down free food, whether he needs it or not. If some do-gooder is willing to part with theirs, so much the better.]

You found somewhere to restock already? Mine's looking like someone left it out on the porch in the middle of summer, and it's been awhile since I last ate.

[He's lying through his teeth, of course, but. Eh. That's who he is.]

[srsbat]

Not yet, but I'm en route to check a usual supply depot.

Where are you?

[myrmidowned]

I'm bunkered down in that shed just off the school.

You anywhere nearby?

@hotstud_xxx; text

[rubikscomplex]

so, either you're a dick who wants to hand out spoiled food
or you're an idiot who thinks he's going to jump on his snowmobile and deliver food to all the hungry orphans of snowhell
which is it?

i'm leaning toward idiot
but dick would be more fun

look, batman will also punch you in the dick, house

[srsbat]

It's an offer to take or leave. With several instances of food spoiling, I doubt you have many choices.

I can make runs if you're in the vicinity of a supply.
Do you need food?

RUDE, Batman. Aren't you a superhero or something?

[rubikscomplex]

and you're doing this because...?
looking for favors?
wanting people to be beholden to you?
i mean, sure
that'll probably work for most of the schmucks here

four

[devoutish]

[A crimefighting superhero and an unrepentant gang leader? Maybe not the best mix. But they'd ended up in the same area by chance and only one house had been reachable before lockdown, so they're stuck with each other. Alfie helps drag the body in, doing his part to unwrap blanket from its face. He thinks it's a corpse too, at first... until it makes it clear that it isn't.

He ignores Bruce's order to run. This thing isn't an anomaly. Presumably - hopefully - it can be killed, and if he can, he'd rather take care of it quickly than spend the entire night trying to avoid it. He throws down his pack and pulls out a butcher knife, advancing on the creature.]

Out of the way.

[If Bruce lets him, he'll move forward to stab the thing in the neck.]

LMAO ALFIE NO

[srsbat]

[Old habits are hard to break, especially for Bruce. He's surprisingly quick for someone of his bulk (which Alfie might relate to) and for someone with a cape; he grabs Alfie at the elbow and forearm, using his other hand to roll the knife-holding wrist forward and to the side firmly.

Alfie will have to let the knife go to spare cramping and pinching pain. It isn't slow; instead, a rigid and fast pop of movement. He at least makes sure Alfie isn't far enough ahead to be easily attacked.] No. [Even though he's let Alfie go immediately, he already expects retaliation, and he's ready.]

There's better ways to apprehend.

[devoutish]

[He drops the knife immediately, but takes note of where it falls, so that he can hopefully grab it up at the next possible chance.]

We are not gonna apprehend that thing; fucking hell. We are gonna kill it fucking dead.

2. Voice; @quinntessential

[clowngirl]

I'll take a turkey club on rye, hold the mayo, with a side of curly fries, and a large grape soda.

Big preference on "to go".

[srsbat]

[You too, huh.]

You'll have to settle with crackers and then use your imagination.

[clowngirl]

[Clowns: Never leave home without them.]

What about service with a smile?

That part's gonna be non-negotiable if you're lookin' to get a tip.
