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.

nothing ventured, nothing gained here, nonnie

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

[perfero]

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.

[rubikscomplex]

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

[perfero]

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.

[rubikscomplex]

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?

[perfero]

[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.

[rubikscomplex]

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

[perfero]

[Yep, somebody's getting way to close to the truth for her comfort. This guy is about the last person she wants to discuss Madoka with, and sadly it's pretty clear if she says anything he'll just keep needling away until he's figured out too much.

So she does the smart thing and closes the conversation on her tablet. Congrats House, she is officially giving you the cold shoulder.]
