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: THE FRIENDSHIP CIRCLE
Whether or not you were aiming for this to happen, you've ended up in Downtown's Toy Store for the night. Right away, it gives you a creepy sort of vibe. There's even a doll staring up at you from the doorway when you come inside, discarded and lonely on the floor. It has no eyelids or eyelashes, its too-lifelike eyes precariously stuck onto dark hollows. Its mouth a despondant, stitched-on frown.

Ingoring it, though, nothing particularly odd seems to happen--at first. It isn't until you sleep when a sinking feeling jolts you from your slumber. It's not hard to figure out where the soruce of the unease is coming from: the doll from earlier is laying just inches away from your face. When you sit up, you realize that it's not the only one: every doll has moved from the shelves and surrounded your sleeping body in a neat circle. All of their eyes are sunken. All of their mouths are turned into frowns.

Maybe you'll have an easier time getting back to sleep if you can find someone on the network to talk it out with.

TWO: IT BLEEDS
Something's wrong with the wallpaper in this house. You're not sure exactly what it is, but it makes your head dizzy to be around it for too long. If it's affecting you this badly, it's possible that other people might have the same problem in the future, so it would probably be a good idea just to take it down. Only, when you pull at the first piece, it's not just the wallpaper that pulls away from the wall...but the skin of your arm, which breaks open in a long scratch. It isn't deep enough to draw blood, but certainly enough to feel raw and uncomfortable.

It would be a good idea to stop what you're doing and reach out for some medical advice.


Action Prompts
THREE: THE QUIET GAME
You and your traveling compaion have found shelter at the library. It's a nice, spacious building with plenty of comforable places to sleep and books to occupy your time, so at first this seems like a fine place to spend your time. Only, you can't shake the feeling that someone else is here with you. And everytime you talk too loudly, a fierce shhh passes between your ears, passing a shiver down your spine. Eventually, you hear a slithering voice whisper no talking in the library, and a pinch stabs at the corner of your mouth.

Your companion can hear it too...right?

FOUR: PICTURESQUE
Not too long ago, you found a jigsaw puzzle. The pieces were all stored in a plain box, so you weren't sure what the picture was meant to be. You've been having a slow night, so while your traveling companion tries to get some sleep, you decide to see if you can solve it. Only...you start to notice something familiar about the setting as it unfolds before you. Piece by piece, it becomes clear: it's something from home, something only you should know.

You have to show your traveling companion--only when they go to look for themselves, all that's left is a square of white paper where the puzzle once was. But that can't be right, can it?

The first time they didn't do anything. We had someone awake to make sure they didn't keep coming closer.

[ A pause. ] Then the second they were circling around this other doll in the back room. Almost like they were worshiping her or something. [ Which is very unsettling. ] We bagged them all up and stuff them under the counter.

*Hmm*

What did the one in the back room look like?

Raggedy Ann wants to play : D

[personal profile] swatsflies 2017-05-24 11:57 pm (UTC)(link)
Like one of those old rag dolls people used to make. She was sitting on the chair back there and had a keycard inside of her.
standing_waters: (Sitting)

Sadly he has no Raggedy Andy nor any desire to be one

[personal profile] standing_waters 2017-05-25 12:00 am (UTC)(link)
What did its face look like?

*If the eyes were the same, Zell probably would have mentioned it, but just in case...*
swatsflies: <user name="peachhoney" site ="livejournal.com"> (orly?)

[personal profile] swatsflies 2017-05-25 12:03 am (UTC)(link)
Hmm... [ Thinking for a moment and then he snaps his fingers. ] It just had those button eyes. Why? Is there something weird with it now?
standing_waters: (Hn)

Video -> Audio

[personal profile] standing_waters 2017-05-25 12:07 am (UTC)(link)
*He switches to video to provide a slow pan of the doll circle. And their creepy, creepy eyes. Once that's done he switches back to audio.*

Yeah, I'd say there is.

[ He almost drops the tablet. ]

The hell?!

[ He is not going to sleep well tonight. ]

I vote to shove it under the counter! Maybe there's a puppet with strings if you need something to tie it up with.

[personal profile] standing_waters 2017-05-25 12:27 am (UTC)(link)
That sounds like a good idea. Then I think I'll wait by the door so I can leave as soon as lockdown ends.
swatsflies: <user name="peachhoney" site ="livejournal.com"> (whoops my bad)

[personal profile] swatsflies 2017-05-25 12:30 am (UTC)(link)
Keep your back against a wall. There might be some thing you can use to make noise in case anything approaches you while you sleep.

[ Assuming if he can sleep... ]
standing_waters: (Default)

[personal profile] standing_waters 2017-05-25 12:32 am (UTC)(link)
I don't think I'll be sleeping again, but I'll keep that in mind.
swatsflies: http://professordipshit.tumblr.com (pic#9730070)

[personal profile] swatsflies 2017-05-25 12:32 am (UTC)(link)
Oh! Maybe keep the tablet recording. Just in case.
standing_waters: (Thinking)

[personal profile] standing_waters 2017-05-25 12:34 am (UTC)(link)
You think they might do something else?
swatsflies: <user name="aswang"> (The only reason I know his name)

[personal profile] swatsflies 2017-05-25 12:35 am (UTC)(link)
You never know. There could be ghosts or something else.

[ This is totally helping someone sleep, right? ]
standing_waters: (Default)

[personal profile] standing_waters 2017-05-25 12:37 am (UTC)(link)
I never knew much about ghosts...but I guess nothing I know can be counted on here anyway. I wonder if I should try communicating with them.
swatsflies: http://professordipshit.tumblr.com (pic#9730070)

[personal profile] swatsflies 2017-05-25 12:40 am (UTC)(link)
Sometimes it can be useful! Some people got blankets or sd cards off of ghosts before. [ There is a silent but here. ] It can also be bad.
swatsflies: <user name="peachhoney" site ="livejournal.com"> (whoops my bad)

[personal profile] swatsflies 2017-05-25 12:52 am (UTC)(link)
Bad as in sometimes they drop rocks on your head or lock you in small freezers.

[ Nothing serious! ]
standing_waters: (Default)

[personal profile] standing_waters 2017-05-25 12:57 am (UTC)(link)
Right. I'll see if I can find a helmet first.

*Is he joking? Maybe, maybe not.*
swatsflies: <user name="aswang"> (At some point)

[personal profile] swatsflies 2017-05-25 12:58 am (UTC)(link)
[ He has the scar to prove one of those. ]

Good luck! Maybe you'll find one that can fit.
standing_waters: (:))

[personal profile] standing_waters 2017-05-25 01:14 am (UTC)(link)
Probably not here, but I'll keep an eye out in case I need to come back.
swatsflies: http://professordipshit.tumblr.com (pic#9730070)

[personal profile] swatsflies 2017-05-25 10:01 pm (UTC)(link)
Hopefully you won't. There are much better places to crash down there. [ Thinking. Thinking. ] There are stuffed bears there. Maybe you can strap one of those on your head.
standing_waters: (:))

[personal profile] standing_waters 2017-05-26 02:08 pm (UTC)(link)
Heh.

We'll call that a last resort.
swatsflies: <user name="aswang"> (They're Grrrrrrreat!)

[personal profile] swatsflies 2017-05-27 11:47 pm (UTC)(link)
A beary last resort.

[ Zell no. ]

Oh! Careful with any other shop down there with a backroom like that. We found traps in a few of them. [ He thinks they triggered them all, but never know. ]
standing_waters: (Thinking)

[personal profile] standing_waters 2017-05-28 03:08 am (UTC)(link)
*Snort.*

Yeah, something like that.


What sort of traps?
swatsflies: <user name="aswang"> (The only reason I know his name)

[personal profile] swatsflies 2017-06-03 04:44 am (UTC)(link)
Flying Shrapnel, bear traps, and spring loaded axes kind.

[ SOunds like fun, huh? ]

I think we might have found them all, but you can never be too careful.
