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?

youre kind of setting yourself up as a shitty cosmic punchline by insisting that youve got this


[ Just. Quit fucking knocking on nonsensical alien wood you dweeb. ]

and dont stay up all night!!!! >:(
quadrangle: (rah rah rah)

[personal profile] quadrangle 2016-12-31 04:27 am (UTC)(link)
[Jade do you really want to bring up knocking on alien wood with someone who fantasized about you making out with yourself.]

UGH, BUT THIS IS DIFFERENT? MOSTLY. IT'S JUST FURNITURE.
AND AGAIN, I'M FUCKING NOCTURNAL, WHAT AM I SUPPOSED TO DO? IT'S NOT LIKE THIS SHIT IS GOING TO FIX ITSELF.

FUCK i walked right into that!!!

[personal profile] eclecticbassist 2017-01-02 05:23 am (UTC)(link)
well humans are diurnal but i adapted to sleeping at weird times ok!
sometimes i slept all day and woke up in the middle of the night


[ Even if that sleep was induced by psychic meddling. Ugh. She's still skeeved out by the fact that Vriska was responsible for all the time she spent on Prospit. ]

you could try not sleeping at all for a day and going to bed the following night
that usually resets your internal clock
id stay up with you if you wanted :)
quadrangle: (weh)

I'M JUST SAYIN' also yeah screw it text "color" is happening

[personal profile] quadrangle 2017-01-02 06:30 am (UTC)(link)
STAYING UP DURING THE DAY ISN'T THE PROBLEM, TRUST ME.
BUT MAYBE I CAN WORK HARDER AT WEARING MYSELF OUT BEFORE NIGHT COMES? EXCEPT THEN WE HAVE SHIT LIKE THIS HAPPEN AND I NEED TO BE ALERT JUST IN CASE SOME UNSPEAKABLE ABOMINATION COMES BUSTING THE DOOR DOWN.
MAYBE I SHOULD JUST STAY UP THROUGH IT ALL. I MEAN I DID IT ONCE RIGHT? IT CAN'T BE THAT HARD.
