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.

I think not the mannerrr in which I stored it was the issue, mold like this should not grrrow when the chill in the air is this biting.

[His retort is friendly sounding, and lack any possible edge of annoyance he might otherwise be feeling at Lutha's blunt suggestion. His expression doesn't even falter for a second, either.]

I am in the rrresidential area, near a large building that has caved in through its center. I believe it to be an academic building of some sort. I stand east of it.

Body heat still can cause moisture. It's aggressive enough to thrive off that small amount, that just means common caution is even more important than before.

[Read: don't blame the mold for your problems, bro.

There's a sigh from the other end. He's south, but given good motivation, he could make it that direction.]


Do you have anything you're willing to trade?

The thought that such mold could grrrow from such scant amount of heat is worrying.

[He's no botanist, or scientist, or any such that handles molds of any variety, and he won't claim to be it either, but the idea that body heat could cause such growth... it's alarming.]

I'm afraid I haven't much to offer. I was collecting food primarily, not wanting to waste my strength on what prrroves to otherwise not be a necessity...

[He's mainly grabbed knives for himself, knives and food, and now his food is, well...]

"Not much" is better than nothing at all.

[Unless all the strange creature had was garbage. But who knows. What the cat could consider trash, Lutha might consider decently usable.]

Look. Pretty sure I'm within a day or so from you. But I'm not going to turn around for charity's sake, and I doubt you want to leave yourself to starve.

Now's not a time to be modest.

Unless you fancy yourself a butterrr knife, I fear I haven't much to offer.

[No way is he gonna give up his good knives.]

Surely you have at least an ounce of sympathy or sense of solidarrrity with someone stuck in this hellhole with you? While I cannot say I can repay you immediately, I would doubtlessly be indebted to you.

I am a man of my word, and my debts do not go unpaid.

[He's looking a little weak as he speaks, as if the hunger is truly gripping him, and he is a man in need of saving!]

I don't work with debts.

[The word spits out of his mouth like poison on his tongue.]

A butter knife is still a knife, and it's still something. Show me it or whatever else you have, regardless of what you think it might be worth, or assume that I'm going to turn this thing off and let you rot.

[Which he could have about ten minutes ago. Should have, really. But this show of need is so goddamn pathetic.]
