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: HUNTING SEASON
You wake up in the morning to find that a new application has appeared on your tablet. It's labelled "SCAVENGER HUNT" and when you open it, you find a long list of items that, if the title is anything to go by, need to be collected. At first, the items seem rather innocuous; things like bottle caps, napkins, Scotch tape, mittens. As the list continues, though, the items become a little more interesting. Where are you going to find "one pint of type O- blood"? How does one collect a "cry for mercy"? Does the "human sacrifice" need to be human? Most importantly, what are you supposed to do with these items once you've collected them all?

Maybe you should check your list with the Network. Some folks might be willing to pool resources.

TWO: ONE, TWO, SKIP A FEW
Sometime yesterday, you noticed that a timer placed itself on the Network. Contacting the Admin about it provided no explanation, of course, and nobody's tablet buddy seems to have any answers. It started from zero and began counting upwards, seconds ticking away like lightning, but nothing was happening, so there was nothing to be done. Suddenly, however, you can't help but notice the count stutter and jump upwards to 99 hours in. And then, at 100, it stops and vanishes. As far as you can tell, nothing's changed, but it's disconcerting enough that you can't get it off your mind. Maybe someone else on the Network has some theories.


Action Prompts
THREE: WHAT WE DO WITH THE SHADOWS
You and your companion decided that, for whatever reason, this house was worth investigating. It took something unorthodox—like moving all the furniture to one place, illuminating certain segments of the room, reciting a message, or maybe something else—but by doing it, it seems you've invited another guest. It's a shadowy figure with no face and no discernible limbs, and it goes wherever you go, lingering behind you just so that you can only ever see it out of your peripheral vision. Your companion can see it well enough, though, and sometimes it follows them instead. It doesn't seem to be hostile, but can you know that for sure? Either way, lockdown has already fallen, and you're stuck with it through the night.

FOUR: WHO LET THE DOGS OUT?
You’ve just gotten comfortable for the night with your traveling companion when something odd happens. You hear an animal. A dog? A cat? A bird? Maybe the sound is coming from outside, or in the other room. Maybe you feel it brush or flutter past you without anything being there. Or maybe you even see it…just out of the corner of your eye, as it darts around a corner. You feel like maybe it’s trying to alert you to something, somehow. Or maybe you just really want to see if you can coax it out. Careful, though, get too close too quickly and you may aggravate it. As phantom as the animal may seem, the claw marks you receive for your trouble feel very real.

It sounded like a bark to me.

[There's a pause, and she smiles wryly.]

I think. I couldn't tell you anything more specific than that.

Lucky you.

[ Matt almost scoffs. Ah, to have the comfort of sight. Must be nice. But back to petting this dog before he gets petty. ]

What's your secret, huh, boy? You didn't do that on purpose, did you?

Something tells me he isn't going to share his secrets.

[Because he's a dog. Kind of.]

Is this going to be one more thing for you to give your food away to?

[ Ah, dogs. Even when you're cute despite being glitchy, you give Matt trouble. This is why he never follows through on the seeing eye dog thing. ]

I have no idea what you're talking about.

[ Yes, yes he does. ]

[GOD, MATT. Natasha responds so, so dryly.]

Oh, you haven't noticed? Maybe the food mysteriously disappearing from your pack after we run into other groups is a glitch, too. I should ask Tony.

[ Okay, he smirks. He didn't think he could hide it from her anyway... ]

Could be. Maybe he should keep an eye out for that.

[Natasha gives him a Look. She knows he can't see it, but it makes her feel better.]

What am I going to do with you if you starve?
actuallydaredevil: (aw gosh)

[personal profile] actuallydaredevil 2016-09-19 04:49 pm (UTC)(link)
[ It's ok, he can feel it. He knows. ]

I eat enough.

[ That shrug is not very convincing, Matt. ]

Other people need it more than I do.

Matthew.

[Oh, look, pulling out the Full Name.]

There's a difference between helping someone and giving away everything you have. Last time I checked, you can't subsist on pure stubbornness, although I'm sure you wish you could.

[ oof, someone's in trouble... ]

I would argue that I have before, but I see your point.

[ He just... won't follow it because he's Matt Murdock. ]

[personal profile] redrooms 2016-09-21 01:43 am (UTC)(link)
[Natasha lets out a long-suffering sigh. Being friends with Matt Murdock is a cruel fate.]

You'd argue almost anything, but that doesn't make you right.

[ Truer words have never been spoken. Matt does not deserve any of his friends.... ]

I'm a lawyer, it's what I do.

Lucky me.

[Matt please let her rest.]
