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?

[ SO CLEARLY, she misses him. A lot. Because he's the best dad ever. Gotchaaaaaa ]

No no no that can't be possible. People don't just up and "disappear" from their turbomansions out of ECHO range Angel. This had to be Pandroa. Like an even more ass-backwards than usual part of it. Like seriously. There's no plumbing here Angel. These people live like savages so how about you quit kidding around and fire that moonshot.

People generally don't get lifted from their near-impenetrable bunkers and dropped here with their siren abilities stripped from them, either. But here we are.

 

Also regarding the plumbing: the toilets should work, and provide an emergency source of water should you need it. Just one of the many useful tips I've learned here! I'm sure things are seeming less savage already. ♥

[ WAITwaitwaitwait. Yeah maybe Jack has some words to say about all that sass with the toilets and the like, but he kind of stopped reading anything after that very tiny, very i m p o r t a n t first bit. ]

What.
Do you mean.
You're not.
IN
THE BUNKER

I mean that my current location completely fails to resemble a highly-fortified structure out by Thousand Cuts.
I understand that might be alarming for you. But try not to worry, I've been doing fine here for the last few months. I'm with friends.
(I've made a lot of them. And only *some* are bandits!)


[ Angel might be enjoying this. Just a bit. Teeny tiny little ittle bitty bit. ]

The last few MONTHS?
You'd better tell me where the HELL you are right this secon


[ And then, like, something glaring suddenly becomes apparent to him. Like. He really should have thought of this, because for a moment the realization fills him with a gut-wrenching dread/rage sort of combo. ]

You're not hooked up to Eridium

[ How is she still alive ]

Correct. I'm entirely Eridium-free. Despite some of the facilities here being centuries behind our own level of technology, their medical advancements are incredible.
Not only can they purge someone of Eridium (and the associated dependency on it), they can regrow limbs. Remove old ailments and scarring. Protect against radiation sickness. They can *bring people back from the dead.*
And it's all accomplished via nanomachines! It's pretty cool.


[ See how neatly she sidestepped the "where are you" issue

DO YOU SEE

[ YEAH HE DOES AND HE'S NOT VERY HAPPY this is super-confusing and stressful and makes him angry??? Why can't you just stay in your Princess Prison Chair like a good girl Angel? ]

That's impossible and we both know that.
So why don't you be a Good Girl, Angel, and tell daddy where you are so he can come and kill every one of those scum-sucking bandits and take you home mmkay?


[ Jack is n o t h a p p y miss. You're like, grounded. If grounded means never leaving your Eridium prison ever again also control collars 4lyfe. But with less memey words, because memes are stupid. ]
phaseshifter: (:?)

[personal profile] phaseshifter 2016-11-24 03:33 pm (UTC)(link)
We also both know that I'm too smart to throw impossibilities at you and expect you to believe them as some kind of distraction. Which means you may want to consider the idea that I'm telling the truth.

You may *also* want to consider the fact that I've been just fine without you for several months, that we can't go home, and that my friends will kick your *ss if you try anything.
(One of them is a vampire! He's really cool.)
hijackass: (seriously blake)

[personal profile] hijackass 2016-11-25 12:16 am (UTC)(link)
[ Sweetie, what has he told you about reading all those tween novels on the ECHOnet? I mean seriously. You're his daughter, have some taste. Vampires aren't cool unless they're killer and deadly and actually you know what, scratch vampires entirely. Have something cooler.

Also, have less friends. ]


It's cute and all how you think they actually give a damn about you Angel, really. Now be a GOOD GIRL and tell me
Where.
You.
Are.
Maybe do it sooner rather than later? That way maybe I only make their deaths half as slow and painful.

[personal profile] phaseshifter 2016-11-25 12:42 am (UTC)(link)
You are *impossible!* And the sooner you realise that you don't have any power over anyone here, the better.
You don't have a robot army or a bazillion guns, and you can't get away with death threats!!
Ugh. Why am I even bothering to try and reason with you
The point is that you don't get to know where I am, and being an *sshole isn't going to change that!


[ THIS IS THE WORST, JACK IS THE WORST ]
hijackass: (ugh bandits amirite)

[personal profile] hijackass 2016-11-25 01:00 am (UTC)(link)
Language Angel. [ Don't think censoring yourself with asterisks changes that rule missy. Jack knows a pottymouth when he sees one?? Literally in this case since it's all text which is actually really freaking annoying because it's not giving him any hint as to where she is.

He wonders if he can hack this stupid thing and get it to cough her location up. ]

[personal profile] phaseshifter 2016-11-25 01:12 am (UTC)(link)
[ The next response takes a minute or two to arrive. Mostly because Angel is holding a swear conference with her bandit pals. THAT'S A THING. ]

I respectfully suggest that you go eat a million fetid skag asses, because they might make your breath smell better. Dickhole.
