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.

[ The Cat, being smaller and closer to the ground, is uniquely qualified to search for hidden doors.

In his own world he would be able to stretch his magic out around him, feeling for anything that wasn't as it seemed.

Still, he could check the floor up close and personal more quickly than his human companion, and he does exactly that in a grid pattern. ]

[An excellent team. This cat seems more useful than Kyuubey anyway, who does nothing more than speak in half-truths and create monsters.

Once she's confirmed they're alone she's going to go help. Thankfully, this is one of the few useful times wearing heels comes in handy. Starting at one corner of the building she'll start stamping her heel on the feel, listening for any hollow sounds that could indicate a hidden tunnel.]

[ The Cat is way better, he only refuses to speak! The half-truths are just a natural side-effect.

He doesn't find anything, and once he's finished a complete grid search he begins checking nooks and crannies. With his night vision he can see in dark places better than Homura can. ]

[Homura is going to take longer. Sadly, she doesn't have any cat abilities to help, so she's stuck relying on her very human ears. She wants to be thorough anyway, even if it means doing something very dull.

Of course, when she doesn't find anything she's going to start trying to pull furniture around to look for any indication of a tunnel. Tables and chairs are easy enough... the shelving? Not so much when you don't have magic strength. She isn't about to give up easily though, even if means having to clean the shelves of any remaining toys to make them lighter.]

[ The Cat can't help with moving furniture, but he knows plenty about humans and overexertion. He watches her work, but when he thinks she's starting to get tired he nuzzles her leg. ]

[She jumps at the contact then relaxes, glancing down at the cat. Okay, that is cute and she is getting tired, and as cold as she's trying to be the idea of sitting around and maybe petting a cute cat holds a little appeal.

Sighing, she leaves the shelf where it is, instead sitting down with her back against it. This was probably a good choice, her limbs feel like jelly.]

[ Once she settles down he climbs up into her lap. This way she'll have to rest if she doesn't want to upend him. ]

[Homura narrows her eyes slightly, unsure if the animal is just being an animal or doing that deliberately. After Kyuubey she really doesn't trust cute things, but paranoia over a cat sitting in her lap is entirely possible.

After a moment she sighs, leaning back a bit more, her hands on the ground rather than attempting to pet the animal. She's eyeing the shelving, thinking there must be some easier way to move those things.]

[ She doesn't try to get up, so he begins to purr. Humans tend to find that comforting, in his experience. ]

[It's kind of nice, in a normalcy-that-never-happens-these-days kind of way. Homura stares down at the cat for several more moments, then sighs.

And it takes a few more minutes, but eventually she'll rest her hand on the cat's head.]
