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: TRIAL BY CANDLELIGHT You wake up one morning to find that an app has downloaded itself to your tablet. It's titled CANDLE.EXE and has an icon to match. When you opening it, you're greeted with a dark screen that features a gently swaying candle flame. Above it reads: LEAVE AN OFFERING? If you hit "no", the candle snuffs out. Your tablet shuts itself off abruptly, before rebooting to reveal the app has vanished. If you hit "yes", the candle flame turns purple and the app closes, but doesn't disappear. You have the distinct feeling that small, indiscernible piece of yourself has gone missing...but there's nothing stopping you from opening the app and making another offering...again, and again, and again. TWO: PAPER TRAIL The last several days have been productive. You and many others have split up to explore a newly opened area of the town as quickly as possible. One night, as you're searching the place you've found, you make a unique discovery: a folded note that appears to have been written in blood. The paper is delicate parchment, but with careful fingers you're able to unfold it and read what appears to be some sort of haunting hymn that centers around the Prophet of Norfinbury. However...it cuts off abruptly, and the corner of the page is even numbered. You have a feeling there are other accompanying pages, but you can't find any scattered around the house. Maybe you should take it to the Network. It could be that someone else in the area has found another page. Action Prompts THREE: I CAN HEAR THE BELLS All things considered, you and your traveling companion have been having a reasonably easy day. Even the building you've chosen to spend the night in is peaceful. But then, shortly after lockdown hits...it starts. The sound of churchbells chiming. At first, it's distant, but they seem to be ringing closer and closer to the outside of the building, clanging and clammering so that you feel as if there's an earthquake in your skull. It drives you crazy, or maybe it even hurts--so why can your companion sleep so easily? Don't they hear it too? Maybe you should wake them up so they can help...or suffer by your side. FOUR: A POUND OF FLESH You and your companion reach a building just in time for lockdown, and notice right off the bat that something isn't right. Namely, your eyes can't help but land on a bloody message scrawled along the far wall. It reads: A POUND OF FLESH TO SAVE US Beneath it, there's a single metal bowl on a small table. The table is covered in blood, as well as the bowl, but it's empty...for now. Surely, you aren't about to chop off a hand just to see if there's anything to this message other than general cultist insanity, but you can't knock the sense of foreboding that weighs down the place like a stone. For better or for worse, you're going to have to spend the night here, so the two of you may as well talk about what you've found. Maybe you'll be able to come up with some sort of theory about what could've happened here in the past.

[ No it's the best idea and it also doesn't involve Squalo doing shit nor losing more limbs, so he's strongly in favor of it. ]

[ It's also always fun to watch children suffer and die, or something. ]

I used to have a sword. [ Squalo notes bitterly as he checks his own belongings, probably even more modest. Part of the whole ending up in a different realm thing was apparently that you couldn't bring a friggin spatha along. Peasants, whoever was running this show. ]

[ He does finally retrieve a small roll of bandages and quirks an eyebrow inquiringly. ]
