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.

I'm not real familiar with what you guys use for last rites, so... [ Small shrug. ] 'Sorry' feels like a good enough substitute.
[ He spares the shape one more glance before backing away, doing his best not to disturb much in their immediate area. When he feels as though he's given them enough space, he turns and trots toward Steph, falling into line without much thought. ]

Find anythin' good? [ Best to try a less morbid topic, he thinks. Wight cranes his neck to get a better look inside one of the cupboards, not quite sure if it's already been checked. ] I'm just hoping everything in here isn't burned up too. Would that count as being precooked?
[ Is that an appropriate joke, given where they are? Maybe not. ]

Me neither, honestly.

[ She glances in the direction of the silhouettes, but her eyes stop at the corner between wall and floor. ]

Nothing yet, but I haven't checked even half of the drawers yet. Spiders stock the houses sometimes, but not very often and not with a lot.

[ She doesn't really see the humor just now. ]
bonezoned: THERE'S STUFF EVERYWHERE (WHAT'S THIS?)

Sssspiders, 'kay. I'll keep an eye out for 'em. [ Spiders weren't that bad. But what were they doing somewhere this cold? Were they okay here? Wight wants to ask, but thinks better of it, instead opting to start looking through the higher-up parts of the cabinets. It's not long before he's got as much of his head as is possible inside one, doing his best to feel around with one hand all the while. ]

Can't say I'm all that picky when it gets down to it! A little's better than none at all, right? [ His voice is a bit muted, and the fact that he seems to be trying to enter the cabinet probably isn't helping. If it wasn't for his horns getting in the way, he would've already been in there at this rate. ] That's...if nobody else's come through here. Doesn't look like it, really?
[ Wight leans in even further, giving a questioning growl as his claws brush against something hard with a soft clink. He grabs it carefully, wiggling his way back out of the cupboard-- now that he's got it in the light, he can tell it's a short can of...mystery, given the fact that the label's seen better days. ]

How 'bout this? [ He tosses it a little ways into the air, catching it easily. ] If you wanna take the chance on it.

Population's too spread out.

[ She shrugs. Then she leans in to peer at the label, trying to make sense of what's left of it. ]

Sure. Worst case scenario we can dump the contents and use the can for something else.

[ Then she turns away to try the cabinets on the adjacent wall. She climbs up on the counter to look inside. Which she can do, because she's a reasonable size. ]
