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.

A friend then. Or a woman you think is pretty. No, can't be that second one. I said a man, I mean a man.

[Not that he's concerned. Vaguely concerned.]
Sick, manic, obsessed, or paranoid?

But the most important one is that these are nanomachines, an outside mechanical creation that has been placed in us. They are not self replicating, otherwise any malfunction would be rectified. This means the transfer of any from one to another would only transfer the problem, not create a solution.
Remove your nanomachines to give to another, you only make yourself sick. Or do you plan a sort of eternal round robin game of transfusions?

[That's not as lovely as it sounds. John is his assistant, he's not much good at assisting if he makes himself sick. Better to risk an unknown who's less important to Sherlock.]

Sherlock, I can't ask someone to try something I'm not willing to try myself. That wouldn't be fair to them. I'll be all right, okay?

What a good idea to ask for volunteers to help with this, John. I'm sure people will be lining up once they know it's to help out with the MN crisis.

There, was that so hard?
no subject
I'm not taking donations, anyone. Thank you.
no subject
Dr. Watson will be conducting the experiments and, therefore, is unfortunately unable to use himself for samples. All volunteers gratefully received.
no subject
[No, he won't, because Sherlock is alive and he's real and he's here. And maybe that last part is terrible, but god if he isn't selfish enough to be grateful for it.]
Everyone, please do ignore him. Speaking as his doctor, he's an idiot.

Fine, whatever you say.

[Not denying it.]
It would be in your better interest to just save us both the trouble and agree not to do it now.
no subject
[About some things. Being a selfish prick most of the time is one of them.]
As I said, I don't even have the equipment. Once I do, we can talk it over. All right?
no subject
[He's getting a little annoyed now. John is so irritating when he refuses to see sense.]
I've told you that I can't afford to have you sick or dead from experiments that could easily be done on someone else, that should be the end of the discussion.
no subject
You've been here six hours, I've been here a month. I know you're god's gift to all the stupid people in the world, but stop fussing like a mother hen. I've been through a hell of a lot worse and lived to tell the tale in the last 48 hours.
no subject
Fussing like a mother hen? He is not fussing like a mother hen. Besides, six hours is more than enough time for him to have come leaps and bounds ahead of John, the man never observes, he only looks.
Annoyed now, he's the one who just stops answering. Because he's a child in man form.]
