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: LISTEN, DOLLFACE It's no secret that dolls have been the talk of the town, lately. People have been finding them all over Norfinbury: some rag dolls that seem particularly relevant to the Prophet, and some that are unsettling without the apparent connection. Still, it's surprising when you found a doll that looks like another one of the residents. You turn to the network, feeling unsettled, unsure what this could mean. Maybe you aren't alone, or maybe someone has a theory? Come to think of it, you're pretty sure that someone else mentioned finding something similar. TWO: TIPTOES.EXE IS HERE Sometime today you find an SD card that downloaded an app to your tablet. It's titled HIDEANDSEEK and has the picture of a doll as its icon. When you open it, it seems like it's a game to play against a digital opponent: a doll. The game appears to have two stages. In the first stage, the doll hides, and you need to travel around the house (is it just you, or does the layout of this house seem to always be the house you're in when you open it?) to find the doll. In the second stage, you need to hide yourself from the doll, and listen for its movements so it can't catch you. If it does catch you, it will be holding a knife. The screen goes red and the game crashes for the rest of the night. Somewhere on your body, a gash appears. It's nothing fatal, but maybe you should talk to someone about this on the Network. Action Prompts THREE: STRANGE THINGS DID HAPPEN HERE The house that you've found seems promising in terms of useful items to take with you, so you and your traveling companion have spent all day scouring the house for items. At first, everything's fine. Neither of you find or feel anything out of the ordinary. Lockdown approaches, you go to sleep without any additional trepidation...but an odd creaking noise fills your dreams. It gets louder in your ears until you can't stand it anymore and snap awake. When you open your eyes, it's there hanging just above you, swinging in a nonexistent wind: a doll with a broken neck, a noose tied around its neck. It looks just like you. FOUR: LOOK BEHIND YOU Maybe you're not unsettled by dolls--and maybe neither is your companion--but one thing is for certain: this house you've been locked into for the night has an odd, oppressive feeling to it. Maybe it's just because it's full of dolls, though they all seem ordinary enough. Nothing strange happens at first, but as the night goes on...you finally notice: wasn't that porcelain baby doll on the other side of the room the last time you were in it? Didn't you turn that other one to face away from where you were sleeping? The more the night goes on, the more obvious the movements become--sometimes, you even swear you hear the pitter patter of little feet. But nothing ever happens when you're watching. Maybe it's just your imagination. Or maybe, you realize in frustration, your traveling companion is trying to scare you. But is your paranoia worth the confrontation if it is? And will you even believe them if they swear their innocence?

[Cassel has pegged Trent as dangerous. That's not necessarily bad—almost everyone Cassel deals with on a day to day basis is dangerous, but that means Cassel is watching him just a little more closely than he would some of the people he's found himself stuck with for the night. He's planted himself across the room, back to one wall and pack against his side, and he's trying to ignore the now near constant pattering of feet across the floorboards. It's nothing, he tells himself. Nothing but this place screwing with them.

Trent, however, seems to think otherwise, seems to think Cassel is the one behind it, and Cassel apparently isn't doing a great job of convincing him otherwise. Trent also has a much handier weapon than Cassel does. Things aren't looking great.

So, went Trent lashes out again, Cassel does his best to make his body language as nonthreatening as possible, shoulders slouching to combat his height, eyebrows up and expression placating.]

I'm not doing anything, man. I've been sitting here the whole time.

Then what is that?! [Cassel isn't lying. Trent can hear the movement even if he's looking Cassel dead-on, but what if that's not enough? What if this fucked up snowy hell is just letting him see whatever seems best.

The ears on the mask flatten back, the muzzle twists, peels, bares fangs. He jerks around when stamping erupts behind him. The closest wall explodes where the wrench hits, leaving a crater.] Don't think I won't dirt you, asshole!

[When he turns back to Cassel, the wrench is raised to point in warning.] You think this is funny? You're the only other fucker in here.

[Jesus, the mask is unsettling, but Cassel doesn't flinch, at least. He really, really does not want to get his head bashed in, chance of reviving or not, so he raises his hands slowly, gloved hands open, his tone easygoing and reasonable. He could probably overpower Trent if he got the wrench away. That's a pretty big if.]

Hallucinations, right? Like that house with the cat no one can see, or the one with the shadows. It's not me. Why would I want to screw with you?

I've been around the block once or twice. Maybe I got somethin' you want, or maybe you just don't wanna share a room.

People fuck over other people for less. [The grip on the wrench doesn't loosen, but it does lower somewhat in its pointing threat.] If I find that doll again, I'll break its neck.

[Well, Cassel can't argue with him there. It's not very smart to fuck someone over who has a weapon when you don't, but Cassel isn't going to argue specifics, especially when Trent seems to be calming down.]

Good. Maybe we'll actually get some sleep tonight.

[Not that he's actually going to sleep, but, details! Look at that charming, boyish smile, Trent. You don't really want to hurt him, right?]
