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.

there's a point to everything
except here

and maybe i'm being conspicuous to avoid the appearance of lying for anyone who isn't you

Are you sure?

How convoluted. All for a bottle of pills.

[She's getting the sneaking suspicion he's being argumentative for the sake of it....]

[What ever would give you that impression?]

is this a philosophical question?

pills are important
which is why it continues to be interesting that you're going to wait where you are
for an entire day for me to come pick them up
instead of just leaving them where they are and walking off
you get invested quickly in crap for someone who doesn't care

It could be.

No. I would rather not be held responsible if I left them alone and they were stolen.

[Though this in itself is becoming more of a hassle than she wanted. Thanks, @hotstud_xxx.]

can we be sure of anything
when we don't even know if this is real?

held responsible!
you're cute
no one would hold it against you
except maybe me
and i'd just call you a useless idiot
pretty much everyone is
so

We can't. Though, there may still be a point to it. Whether that point matters at all is more important.

Are people that indifferent, or do you have a reputation?

Someone else wants the bottle.

[Oh, hell no.]

someone else didn't contact you first

[Just get that out of the way.]

or are you really here to bargain?
i can move you down to 'c' still

and i've got a reputation
alfie solomons
take a look on the bottle there
ask around for it

I mean the empty bottle, not the pills.

Do what you want. I don't see a reason to try and change your mind.

I see. Well, your reputation doesn't matter to me either.

[But she does have an answer as to whether the people here are completely indifferent or not. Thanks.]

what the hell do they want the bottle for?

and you must be great at parties
charming all the girls
or all the boys
or both

so what does matter you, great sheik of indifference?

I didn't ask.

[Yeah, as if she's answering that honestly. Sadly she doesn't like to lie, so have a mysterious, vague answer that's basically the text version of her signature hair flip.]

I wonder.

[Well, you just went from vaguely interesting to someone to screw around with until he gets an answer on that, Homura. Congratulations!]

do you have some aversion to asking questions?

and wow
don't you sound cool?
i'm picturing you putting on sunglasses
walking away as an explosion goes off
the who starts playing in the background

You seem to be obsessed with asking them.

[Taking out witches does require a lot of explosive weaponry.... Not that she's going to confirm any of his smarm.]

Trying to provoke me won't get you an answer.

i've heard curiosity only kills cats
i'm in the clear

trying not to provoke you hasn't gotten answers
and this is more fun

How confident of you.

You'll get bored eventually.

well, y'know
even if it does
the whole no one stays dead thing
that's a thing

you'd be surprised what can interest me
so, let's come back to why you're doing this
we've established you're not a complete moron
if you're a bleeding heart
you're the kind that hides it
if you're looking for favors
you're doing a crap job
combo a/c?

I've heard that. Still, overconfidence leads to carelessness.

[Not that she really expects anyone to take her advice at this point.]

I'm neither.

[If this was a verbal discussion that response would be half-hearted at best, because she also doesn't expect him to stop bothering her.]

underconfidence leads to paralysis and nothing getting done

[Just saying.]

so what are you?

[In her experience, it's safer.]

It can keep you alive, in the right circumstances.

Nothing. It doesn't matter.

nothing ventured, nothing gained here, nonnie

you're something
"full of it?"
first thing that comes to mind there

Is there anything worth gaining here, aside from a way home?

It also doesn't matter what others think of me. You'll come to your own conclusion. I won't try to change your mind.

you really wanna get into a philosophical discussion, don't you?
all right
i'll bite
we gain love, friendship, and all those heartfelt moments just before we die

[The bite comes laden with sarcasm.]

and while i would normally applaud your stance on people's opinions being worth crap
little bit irritating right now

I imagine you only get those things if you go looking for them.

[And guess who isn't going to do that.]

Because it means I won't play your game. Well, it can't be helped. You'll have to find someone else who cares.

does the phrase
2edgy4u
mean anything to you?
cause i've been accused of being a tryhard edgelord
and i'm pretty sure you're worse than me
that's impressive to an extent
but right
you don't care
i mean
you're obviously not dead or trying to be
so you have something you care about back home
someone?

[Okay, so he's more perceptive than she realizes. That is... really not good. She's trying to keep herself at a distance for a reason here and she certainly doesn't want to talk to an asshole stranger about Madoka. Not talking about Madoka is about the only thing keeping her from having a complete and total breakdown.]

Make as many assumptions as you'd like. I won't confirm anything.

but you won't deny them, either
that's interesting
you were earlier
telling me you weren't any of the above
did i wear you down or hit a sore spot?
so, it's a person

going by the whole "too cool for skool" vibe you've got going on...
girlfriend?
boyfriend?
the one you want to be your girlfriend or boyfriend?
but damn if they aren't oblivious
so you tell yourself you don't care
even while you pine

or you've got a pet dog you miss
but i'm gonna go with the first thing
better drama
