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: SEE THAT WE CAN SEE It's late and you're settling down for the night when you notice a strange light coming from... outside? Through the heavy snowfall, you can just make out the haze of glowing eyes in the distance. Dozens of them. It's difficult to tell through the window, but they seem to be staring directly at you. Since it's after lockdown, you can't get outside to investigate, but maybe others in town are seeing the eyes too. You'd better take to the Network to see what's going on. TWO: BEHIND THESE HAZEL EYES You can't sleep. You've been trying, trying, trying. But every time you close your eyes, you see the eyes of the prophet etched into the insides of your eyelids. The symbol only seems to get brighter and clearer the longer you keep your eyes shut, the closer you get to drifting off. It chills you awake. Nothing seems to help. Maybe there are others on the Network who are having the same problem. Or, at least, someone who doesn't mind keeping you company through the long hours. Action Prompts THREE: THREE'S A CROWD You and your traveling companion are exploring what looks to be a perfectly normal building when you notice something strange carved into the wall. Is that an eye? Strange indeed, but what's stranger is that new carvings keep appearing, always where you're not looking. Soon, the whole room is full of eye carvings. Is your companion doing this? If not them, then who? FOUR: THE KNIFE'S EDGE Most everyone in town still has eyes that are either glowing or shaped like the prophet's symbol, and your eyes are no different. These are the same eyes that made everyone attack each other a few nights ago. Every time you catch a glimpse of yourself, maybe in the reflection of a window or the video feed on your tablet, you feel a little sick. Unfortunately, your traveling companion's eyes look strange too, and they're the opposite of yours. Both of you are in danger if those murderous urges come back, which makes it difficult to trust each other after what you've been through. It's late at night when a dark thought crosses your mind--you do have a knife. Not that there's any reason to use it, of course... Right?

Sheriff Rowe here. Is anyone else seeing the eyes outside the windows? I'm counting five pairs visible from Building 6, looking south.

[Reggie's eyes are shaped like these Prophet eye... things. He's honestly not sure what to make of it. Ever since waking up here, fresh from having concrete growing out of every bone in his body, he's been wondering if this is some sort of afterlife. It's nothing like they talked about at the ceremonies in the Big House when he was a kid.

He glances up from his tablet and over to his companion for the night. Their eyes are glowing. It's unsettling.

The sheriff reaches up the rub the back of his neck. There's the knife he picked up if he needs it. But he's really hoping he won't need it.]

Everything I'm reading about these eyes... it's a mess.

Lost our marbles, have we, Sheriff?

Funny.

If you don't see any eyes just say that.

Pray tell, what good would that do either of us? You'd go on thinking you weren't a lunatic and I'd go on being bored. A wasted conversation, truly.

I know I'm not a lunatic. But I'm wondering about you, now. Projection?

If you're stuck wondering, I'd hate to spoil the puzzle. Do you manage to actually solve crimes with that empty skull of yours, Sheriff?

[ It could be worse? I mean... not having to light a candle or use a flashlight is very environmentally friendly.

Cousland glances up from where she's been reading her book (illuminated by her own tablet - the glowy eyeball thing isn't quite bright enough for that) and offers Reggie a tired grin. ]

No kidding. It's not even useful. [ Shrug. There's a rustle of paper in the dark as she turns a page. ] Well, if anyone asks, you could just pass it off as a daring new fashion statement.

[ There's a telling pause. ]

...it's kind of eyeronic.

[ It's no Delsin-brand humor, but beggars can't be choosers. ]

[That gets a smirk.]

I see what you did there. Don't think I want to be in this season, if this is the hot new thing. Neither of us should even be able to see right now. You used to this level of weird or just naturally calm? I thought dealing with Bio... with Conduits was a handful.

Ehhh...

[ She waggles her hand in midair in a 'sorta-kinda' gesture. ]

Little of column A, little of column B. There's just no point in getting all riled up about it right now when we can't do anything about it.

What's a "Conduit"?
