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: DISTORTION
Something is wrong with the video feed. You're not sure what it is, but it seems that whenever anyone tries to post to the Network using video, their faces warp and distort like they're being ripped through with static. Odd, since it's only the people who show up blurry, and not the surroundings. Maybe you want to test it out with more people to see if everyone is experiencing the same problem, or maybe you just want to toss theories around about what the issue might be, but either way you turn to the Network for answers. Fortunately, the text and audio features are working normally, so you can still have conversations with the others without any problems.

TWO: STRAIGHT TO DETENTION
You had to head to the school in order to grab some more rations, but before you head out for the day you decide to explore around a little more. You've heard that people have had success in the past connecting with the Prophet here, so you head to Samantha's classroom and sit at her desk. When you speak up, though, trying to make contact, it's not the Prophet who answers.

Instead, you hear the sound of a sharp crack and there's a sting on the back of your hands, like you've been whacked by a ruler.

Raise your hand! If you don't follow classroom rules, I'll have to give you detention.

A shadow flicks behind you, the looming outline of the teacher that reprimanded you disappears before you can get a good look. The problem? You can't seem to find the exit to the classroom. Your sense of direction warps every time you get to where it should be, causing you to become disoriented and turned around. The neatly-lined desks suddenly seem to form a maze. If you want to skip detention, you may need a little help from the Network. Maybe someone can guide you out.


Action Prompts
THREE: NO SOLICITING
You're running out of time. You finally found a building you can stay in for the night...but it seems that someone else has found it first. And this someone else appears, for whatever reason, unhappy with the idea of letting you in to share the space. You know there's plenty of room for the both of you, and you don't have enough time to duck into another building for safety. You keep glancing nervously at the time on your tablet. It's cold, and you don't have much more time to argue before you're stuck out here.

If talking isn't going to get you much farther, maybe you can offer something that will make it worth their while. Or maybe you can even force the issue. You probably have something on you that you can use as a weapon if you're not confident that your own strength will do the trick.

FOUR: HOUSE AT THE END OF THE LANE
The house that you and your traveling companion have stumbled across has seen better days. As soon as you step through the door, it's easy to see what's happened. Everything has blackened and burned--every object and decoration charred to oblivion, a snapshot of some family's unwitting last moment together. The only proof that it had ever been occupied at all is the creamy white silhouettes that light up the kitchen wall: the perfect outline of a mother, father, and young child holding hands as they pray together before the meal they'd never eat.

Maybe you can still find some useful items stowed away inside the cupboards.

[ Steph is having one of those crying spells that people are liable to have when they've been trapped in a snowy hell for 9 months and the person they love the most died a month ago and still hasn't come back. She wipes her eyes furiously before turning to glare daggers at the intruder.

But then he has to look so scared and pathetic, and she rolls her eyes before pulling out her tablet to check the time. She's been here hours already, got comfortable, even dumped out the various pillows, towels, thin sheets and stuffed animals she carries with her to make her usual bed-nest. ]


I'm not gonna fight you. It's too late for you to find another place tonight anyway.

[He's used to being glared at. He takes it, keeping his back against the wall and averting his eyes after a moment. Irritated though she sounds, she isn't kicking him back out into the snow, and that is enough for now. He mutters a low thank you and keeps moving away from her toward the edge of the kitchen.

Bodhi pulls off his boots, carrying them toward the tile floor and tugging a towel out of his sleeve. He's quiet as he wipes the snow off the boots and into a pot he had been carrying with him, strapped to his back. Once the snow is off the shoes he sets them upside down on the tile and slumps in the kitchen doorway, his back against the frame and his knees drawn up to his chest to conserve warmth. He shakes his snow-covered hat out as well and tucks his hands into the opposite sleeves, trying to keep every part of him as warm as possible.]


I'm sorry. [He offers, a little louder after a moment, staring at the snow in the pot in front of him.] I didn't see any tracks. I didn't know anyone else was in here.

[ She spends this quiet time wiping at her face and trying very hard to stop crying. She just wants a little time alone, is that so much to ask?

Her voice is a little congested when she answers him. ]


I got here early afternoon, it's been snowing a lot.
