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.

Ramsay Bolton | Game of Thrones

ii; network

network id: bbbbbbbbbbbo7f

[The message is exclusively audio for the time being and really, it's taken an embarrassingly long time to figure out... how the fuck he's actually supposed to use this thing. Hence the nonsensical ID. Listen, the whole techno-electronic-touchscreen thing was incredibly fascinating for the first hour. Even that friendly little assistant was doing some good--

--until like, an hour later when it was still going. It's even bringing up some unrelated, nasty baggage which actually manages to strike a nerve. Alright! That's enough of that!

Now, Ramsay comes from a time when Microsoft Sam hasn't and probably never will be invented. As such, he's just going to assume that this here assistant is voiced or controlled somehow, by an actual living person!

Despite his ire, his tone does carry a jovial sense of bemusement.]

Who here would fancy a hunt?

[Not even going to elaborate.]

[animalize]

[ Well, that's not ominous at all. asdfghjkl replies back: ]

Why are you asking?

[flayerhater]

[Ah, asdfghjkl, abandon all hope ye who enter here.]

Well, I simply figure that it's better to make the most of our horrifically unfortunate situation here!

[He doesn't sound particularly horrified at all.]

And when game practically volunteers itself...

[animalize]

[ Flatly: ]

What game.

[ It's a question, but it doesn't really sound like one. Quite frankly, she's not sure she wants to know. ]

[flayerhater]

Well, for starters, the fellow attempting to advise me on this sordid contraption!

[Oh. There it goes again. Talking about his mother. Nope. There's a resounding crack as Ramsay unceremoniously smacks the device against the nearest wall.]

[animalize]

[ She scrunches up her face for a moment, both annoyed at the sound and confused about who he's referring to. Then, she perks up. ]

Oh, you mean Clippy?

[flayerhater]

Is that what its called?

[Hm. He peers down at the flickering screen which is blipping and blooping utter nonsense at him by this point.]

I almost feel as if I should be disappointed.

[What an anticlimactic moniker.]

[rubikscomplex]

[This guy is begging to be dicked around with. So, enjoy hotstud_xxx brightening your day with a faux British accent.]

My lord, my lord! A fox lies in yonder dell. Shall I fetch the hounds and horses?

[And back to his usual accent.]

You bring a gun with you, Lancelot?

[flayerhater]

[This... actually makes Ramsay pause for a second. Mainly because he has absolutely no idea what any one of these references mean. The fuck's a gun.

Doctor House made Ramsay Bolton pause for half a second. There may be a god after all.

Anyway, after a second, he does have the slightest inclination he's being mocked. But he's going to roll with it for now. Let's see how interesting hotstud_xxx proves to be. ]

A fox? Oh. I am afraid, I'm not very good at small game hunting, stranger. But I would be delighted to have you personally teach me a thing or two in such an art.

[rubikscomplex]

[Well, he has seen a giant rat thing - Burmecian - for something bigger, but it seems kind of cruel to send the new guy after her. Particularly when he'll probably end up getting murdered.]

I don't do personal lessons without an incentive. What've you got to trade?

[He doesn't do personal lessons at all, but let's see what the guy has to offer.]

[flayerhater]

[Well, sadly he's short on hostages at this particular time of day sooo... hm. Actual resources that he's willing to give up? To a total strange in trade of fox hunting?

HMMMM.]

My eternal friendship and undying loyalty.

[Bullshit.]

[rubikscomplex]

Wow.

[Okay, so the guy has a sense of humor. House can work with this. There's a smirk in his voice as he continues.]

I don't know that I'm ready to take our relationship to that level, Lancelot. I mean, we've only just met. I don't even have any string for a friendship bracelet, yet. How are we going to let everyone know it's for real?

[flayerhater]

[Oh you.]

No need to be coy, friend! We're all in this together, are we not? Let me just say that I speak from experience when I say that the bitter cold does wonders in bringing men closer together.

[That didn't sound weird at all.]

If it's a token of friendship you seek, I can most certainly arrange something. I'm not much in the art of crafting jewels but... I like to think of myself as something of an artist in other ways!

[vesicant]

[audio response from @compass5565, who mostly just sounds bored:]

I dunno. Do they have it coming?

[I mean, not that she's really morally opposed to people putting hits out on people. But where she comes from, blood hunts are kind of a big deal!]

Unless you mean like, deer. Then uh, good luck taking one down with a penknife or something.

[flayerhater]

Do they have it coming?

[Ramsay's repeating this like it's the most delightfully precious thing he's heard in his whole entire not-so-long life!]

And no. Though, hunting "deer" [namely, stag] is not entirely out of the question, I believe this particular hunt will hardly be that much of a challenge.

[vesicant]

[the hell is your damage, son]

So what'd they do? Nail your sister? Cut you dead in the street? Steal your parking space?

[flayerhater]

[Don't ask. It's better that way.]

No, no! Nothing so trivial.

[A beat.]

They're beginning to bore me.

[vesicant]

Uh.

[...'kay. She was sort of betting on the "boned a sibling and disgraced their good name" option, that seemed appropriate for this guy's archaic way of talking.]

So, what, are they in the same room as you right now or something? Fill me in, here.

[flayerhater]

[No, no. Leave that shit to the Lannisters.]

This... contraption which I'm presently using. Who built it?

[Answering the question with yet another question.]

network; @newangle

[baymaxing]

what, you think there's actually some animals around to hunt? like rabbit or deer or something? because i haven't seen any since i got here days ago.

[So. Yeah, Hiro is. Confused. Not in the least at the strange username - probably some other shmuck that's clueless about technology again. But on the initial response to showing up like this. Hunting. Gathering food is good, of course. But Hiro isn't sure if there even are any wild animals still around, between the weather and the shadow creatures.]

[flayerhater]

[What does twenty-something years of growing up in a universe and age with a grand total of zero technology save for a rickety elevator using a counterweight system do for you? Absolutely nothing.

It's going to take Ramsay awhile to punch out this message on his little touchscreen. House Bolton, at long last bested by House Jobs. Ravens were so much easier.

But! The message from Hiro is simply too precious to ignore so, after a good 30-40 minute stretch of figuring this horrifically complicated shit out...]

Or something. I'm not entirely certain where you've been for the past week or so, but I've seen no shortage in game!

[baymaxing]

what kind of game exactly? and what do you intend to hunt with? most everything seems in pretty short supply around here, unless you happened to find an actual weapon. best I found so far is an umbrella, so unless you found something better.

[Which. Is really. Not a weapon. He could make one. Could make a lot of things if he just had the resources to do so. But then, he is not going to complain if the guy has found some animals to hunt and potentially eat if it might help the food worry some at least. Potentially.]

[flayerhater]

[Oh. This is almost too much. Ramsay opts to just focus on that first question there.]

Shockingly, everything is not in short supply!

I'd like you to take a moment and consider the top three resources, be it plants, animals, minerals, or the like, most abundant in this quaint little town. What would you say those are?

[baymaxing]

the top three resources? gonna go with snow, wind and uh. more snow. to be honest. but otherwise, more of us seem to be showing up every so often. which i'm not sure if that's a good thing or what but.

[Not that. People could be what he means by hunting. Right? Surely not.]

[flayerhater]

[Ding ding ding ding.]

Fair point. I'm not entirely certain that it's a good thing myself. Fortunately, there are productive ways to make the most out of potentially horrible situations!

If you catch my meaning.
