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?

[ It was something Corvo had prepared himself to hear, but it didn't make the blow any less painful. His jaw clenches and his grip on her hand tightens, but he had enough restraint to keep from squeezing too tight. He couldn't hurt her. He would hurt everything but her.

He would make plans to do so if he had to. ] ... How did it happen?

[The way she won't turn her head to look up means, thankfully, there's some shame in it for her. But she still holds Corvo's hand.] It wasn't on a purpose.

It was... this place. That's what Mister Alfie said. It was the town. It made people do not nice things. Miss Tifa and I... we killed them, Mister Alfie and Royce. We didn't mean to, but... they felt bad.

We thought we would be safer.

[ Corvo wouldn't be able to stand it if she were able to look at him. As terrible as it sounds, he didn't want to see her face with news like this. He never wanted her to be able to look him in the eye.

He certainly couldn't when they spoke of Dunwall. That couldn't change. ] Did they hurt you? Alfie and Royce? Did the town...?

[his shitlist:
tifa ☒
alfie and royce ☐
the entire town ☑]

[SORRY, PAPA...]

No... Mister Alfie and Royce are nice to me, but they say they aren't nice people. Mister Alfie runs a distillery, like Slackjaw, with his Jewish family. He's a "gangster." Royce says he takes things, and once he had to take a book and put it back. He works with his friend, Hadrian. Miss Tifa is nice. She is really strong. [She finally manages to look up a little.] The town isn't very nice.

It's always very cold, and there's not a lot of food. The pretend lady, the Admin, she said there is a shortage. Everyone got worried.

Sometimes, monsters come out to eat you. One time, everything got very blurry and fuzzy. People would disappear, in and out. Mister Alfie says the town makes you do things you don't want to do, like hurt people. It makes people very sick.

Oh, and don't eat Cheetos if you find them. They taste like funny cheese.
