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: TIME TO CHECK WEBMD
You've found the pharmacy, which is really convenient, since you're not feeling that great. Actually, you're feeling terrible. Maybe you have a fever, maybe you're coughing up blood, maybe you're vomiting... Whatever it is, you should probably try to get some medicine for it. Well, if you can figure out what it is. Maybe someone on the network can help you out? Alternately, you know exactly what you have--but for whatever reason, the medicine here isn't something you can easily understand. You have to choose between a couple of options, and you don't know the difference. Hopefully someone on the network can tell you which will heal you and which will probably kill you.

TWO: NOT SO HELPFUL AVATARS
Every tablet has the option for a customizable avatar that will talk to you and keep your tablet in order. Maybe you set it up, maybe you never checked it. Either way, it keeps popping up unrequested and being sort of... Odd. Flickering, talking in strange, mechanical voices, offering advice that's unhelpful at best and actively harmful at worst... Maybe it's even telling the entire network some things you've been doing you'd rather everyone didn't know.

Time to call tech support. Unfortunately, the best option is other people on the network. Good luck.


Action Prompts
THREE: SCHOOL DAYS
You've ended up in the elementary school. Maybe you're grabbing more food, maybe you're exploring. Either way, this place is creepy; the atmosphere is the sort that gets the hair on the back of your neck rising (potentially metaphorically, if you don't have hair or a neck). It's not long before strange things start happening. The sound of running and screaming children, doors slamming in far off or nearby hallways, pianos playing... What's going on? It's hard to tell what's really happening from what isn't happening. Maybe someone who's also exploring has some idea.

FOUR: SUPPLY SCRAMBLE
You've just walked into a house, and look, there's fresh fruit sitting right out on the counter! How long has it been since you've had some of that? It'll definitely help provide some much-needed vitamins and maybe it will ward off scurvy and the like. There's even more than one piece!

...And there's more than one person here, too. So, what are you going to do? Are you willing to share, or are you prepared to stab someone over a pear? Time to find out just how badly you want that food.

Yes.

[ From anyone else, the answer would sound like a glib non-sequitur. From Cole, it's perfectly sincere. Yes, he knows he doesn't always make much sense to normal people. Yes, he's okay with that. He hopes you are too, stranger. He doesn't want to cause any inconvenience or stress here.

What I'm saying here is that he's "UwU" personified right now.

It's because it is so quiet here. I can't feel the tangles any more.

[ His creepy, almost-dead gaze moves to the camera instead of his glitchy avatar on the screen. Unsettling! ]

It's the air. It's too thick.

[It is a bit unsettling, but Booker's seen worse. A little creepiness is fine as long as he doesn't become a threat.]

"Tangles"? Can you explain that part a little more?

[It sounds a little like Elizabeth's tears, almost. Though this guy is definitely not Elizabeth.]

[ OH WAS THAT A REQUEST, OKAY ]

When I'm not here, I take the tangles in people's heads. Tangles, teased - tamed, treating the tension and the terror.

I feel when people need me. I make the hurt better.
doesntrow: (but long as there are stars above you)

[...Oh. Well. That sure sounds like a thing.]

I hope you ask people permission before poking with their heads. Not everyone might enjoy something like that.

Don't worry. I only help if they need me.

[ That's the same as getting permission, right? ]

I don't go looking. It just happens. And then they forget.
doesntrow: (I'll make you so sure about it)

[personal profile] doesntrow 2015-08-24 09:34 pm (UTC)(link)
They forget? What the hell's that supposed to mean? You just... mess with their heads, and they don't even get to remember it?

I don't mess with them. I help them. I tell them things they need to hear, and then they don't need me any more. Remembering me would frighten them. That's why I help them forget.

[ He gives the feed a long, searching look. His stare is too off to be called piercing - he seems to be looking behind people when he stares at them, rather than directly at them - but there's a weird intensity to it nonetheless. ]

I could have helped you, how I was. You're hurting, or frightened. I can't feel it, but it's there. On your face.

I'm sorry for what happened.

[ Whatever it was. ]
