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?

That's right.

You probably did just hear me bumping into something but there are ghosts all over this town.

[He nods towards the window.]

Norfinbury is like a capsule holding the trapped memories of the people who used to live here.

[somehow the thought of trapped memories doesn't sound as strange to him as actual ghosts]

Is there anywhere I can find more information on these trapped memories? Like who trapped them and why?

That's something we're still trying to figure out. We don't know why their memories still haunt this place, but...

[He shrugs.]

I think whatever force it is that binds us here has them trapped as well. There is something here that won't let anything leave whether it's a person or a consciousness. We are all caught in the flow... The spiral, I mean.

If we find who or what is trapping us, we can probably free this place.

[he listens, thinking. Being in a place where nothing can leave... Well, that just sounds way too uncomfortably familiar. He just left a place like that. But if he broke out there, he can break out here]

Then I guess that's what I'll do.

[chaos's smile brightens at the words, though his eyes remain sad. Seeing such optimism and determination is a rare thing in Norfinbury and seeing a human express it warms him. If the human spirit has taught him anything over the millenia it's that hope never dies. It's a lesson he's only recently started taking to heart.]

There are many people here who'd be willing to help. Everyone has been working hard to learn what they can. There's still a lot to learn but we've made progress too.
