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?

I miss sleeping without fear of becoming a popsicle.

[And maybe Ignis' cooking. And Prompto's jokes. Even Gladio's criticisms.]

My friends too, of course. What I would give to be back in Lucis...

Aw, Norfinbury isn't so bad. With a little time and effort this place could be crap!

[That would be an improvement.]

[That gets a smirk from him, unseen of course, but it can be heard in his voice.]

Oh yeah? I guess crap is better than what we're presently stuck with, but I don't know if I'd say it's worth the effort of improving. Never been a fan of the cold, and I don't see us changing that any time soon.

[He's not a fan of the heat either, but he'd take it over being a princicle right now.]

There's a question...

The people running this place can make robot spiders and these tablet thingies, you'd think they'd be able to heat these houses up for us or something.

Tch.

Well, it's less a matter of not being able to, and more so they probably don't want to.

At least, that's how it seems to me.

You think so?

Sometimes it feels like someone here needs our help. I just don't know who that someone is.

It all seems a little convenient that they can power these tablets, and everything else, yet can't do anything to make our stay more comfortable. Maybe there are those who need our help, but I can't shake the feeling that the reason we're all here isn't because they want us helping whoever that is.

We're here to fill some kinda population quota or something aren't we? I mean, that's their official reason for it.

We probably aren't even supposed to actually be on this planet...

[He manages to avoid sighing at that.]

But we are here. I'm here. If there's someone who needs help I can't just turn my back on 'em.

That's the reason they want to give us, sure.

[Doesn't mean he believes that's all they're here for. They might even be lying about that, who knows for certain.]

Well, neither will I, but we also gotta be sure we can take care and help ourselves too. Can't go helping anyone if we get ourselves killed, now can we?

Nope.

Talkin' about how I might die any moment is a great way of helping me sleep, thanks.

Sorry.

I guess I can't shake the thought of it, considering our situation.

[A small laugh.]

I'm just messin' with you.

You're so serious, you know that?

Guess I just haven't been in much of a playful mood as of late. A little hard to be, when most of me is numb.

Sounds like it's time to cheer up, then.

Mopin' around isn't gonna get us outta here any faster.
