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?

THIS IS HOW I TYPE. LOOK JUST FUCKING ACCEPT IT AND TELL ME WHAT I NEED TO KNOW ALREADY.

[definingfuture]

you're like constantly yelling. it's hard to concentrate through the big block of text screaming at me. it's like being interrogated by ny traffic.

i mean if cars typed.

[quadrangle]

WELL EX FUCKING CUSE ME FOR HAVING SUCH AN OFFENSIVE QUIRK, SHALL I DIAL BACK MY TROLLISHNESS FOR YOU?? EXCEPT YOU CLEARLY UNDERSTAND EVERYTHING I'VE WRITTEN JUST FINE, SO MAYBE SHUT THE FUCK UP AND GET BACK ON TOPIC.
GLOWING EYES. WHAT DO WE KNOW ABOUT THEM? BENIGN FRIENDLY FUCK YOU TO SLEEPING SOUNDLY AND NOT LOOKING OVER OUR SHOULDERS AĹL THE TIME OR SHOULD WE BE GENUINELY CONCERNED HERE?

[definingfuture]

Right. Right, okay. I think the eyes are probably not dangerous at this stage. Or at least they aren't yet. The last time we saw glowing eyes they were other people and they marked some of us as enemies of the Prophet. So, I think we're okay.

That said, if they're here, the Prophet's followers might be too.

[quadrangle]

SO THEN WE'RE
PROBABLY OK? BUT WE STILL DON'T KNOW WHY IT'S HAPPENING NOW OR WHAT'S COMING NEXT.
ACTUALLY I TAKE IT BACK, THAT IS SO FAR FROM OK THAT I MIGHT PUKE. AND WHILE WE'RE AT IT, WHO THE FUCK IS THE PROPHET AND WHY IS IT SUCH A BIG DEAL IF PEOPLE ARE ENEMIES OR FOLLOWERS OR WHATEVER.

[definingfuture]

We're okay for now. I mean, generally when something is bad, we're stuck outside with it. I think being locked in is a good sign.

If they get closer I might change my opinion, though. Just. You know. Keeping that in mind. The Prophet is what people keep seeing references to in town. Especially when weird things happen. We've seen and heard what seem to be echoes of people saying to kill the prophet or praise the prophet, so it might be some kind of supernatural being causing the town to do crazy things. Uh. That's just a theory. Don't be scared.

[quadrangle]

OK. HUH. GOOD TO KNOW.
SO EITHER WE'RE FINE, WE'RE TOTALLY SCREWED, OR THIS IS A PRECURSOR TO SOMETHING BIGGER, MAYBE? I'LL KEEP WATCH, I GUESS.

WHY WOULD THAT SCARE ME. THIS PROPHET PERSON JUST SOUNDS LIKE A PSIONIC, IF ONE WHO'S GONE COMPLETELY SHITHIVE.
SO I GUESS PRETTY MUCH LIKE YOUR AVERAGE PSIONIC, REALLY.
