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.

[ Give him another name.

He might use it. ]


And here I was thinking he cut the brakes. [ Or Mom had decided to run away with the kids. Wouldn't that be tragic? Might explain why Malia ran into the forest instead of going home. ] So you get into the forest at ten and what? Play Amazon princess for eight years while dad puts out a search on you?

Gotta hand it to you, most ten-year-olds I know are total wimps.

[ She'll admit she likes the (sort of?) compliment; truthfully, though, running off into the woods is probably the most cowardly thing she'd done. Too young and scared to face the fact that she'd tried to eat her family on a full moon—

Although now she's starting to question that memory. Things are coming back to her, bits and pieces that change everything.
]

Nine, actually. I came home last year.
rubikscomplex: (product placement | here's the thing)

[personal profile] rubikscomplex 2015-08-25 11:16 pm (UTC)(link)
[ Still not taking this seriously. That definitely wasn't a compliment from his end. ]

Forest life getting old? Tired of bathing under the silver moon in the majestic runoff from the local power plant?

[ Imitating the cadence of his voice, she asks: ]

Any of your business?
rubikscomplex: (question question | hmm...)

[personal profile] rubikscomplex 2015-08-25 11:19 pm (UTC)(link)
Gosh, you like playing the ice queen. Bet all the boys in the wood were after you.
animalize: (Default)

[personal profile] animalize 2015-08-25 11:22 pm (UTC)(link)
I'm not an ice anything.

[ Just socially inept. ]

There weren't boys in the woods. And if there were boy animals, I probably ate them.
rubikscomplex: (you're an idiot | coffee pls)

[personal profile] rubikscomplex 2015-08-25 11:25 pm (UTC)(link)
Kinky.

[ He's on audio, but can you hear the leer in his voice? Yep. ]

Your sexual awakening in the forest to one side, how about you tell me why you left?

[ Ew. Malia's usually the last to pick up on things like tone, but that comes across loud and clear. You're like 100 years old, dude, stop. ]

This guy found me and made me.

[ Not untrue; Scott made her human again, anyway. The Sheriff's the one who actually took her home. ]

[ Wow. 45. He hasn't even broken the half-century mark. Rude. ]

So, the chick who ran off and was living wild in the woods for years just went along with 'this guy?' Is this really a love story? Should I scrounge for some popcorn?
animalize: (Default)

[personal profile] animalize 2015-08-26 01:24 pm (UTC)(link)
If you want some popcorn, then yeah.

It's not a love story. But I told you, it's complicated. And I told you the story, so you don't get to complain anymore.
rubikscomplex: (not impressed | go away)

[personal profile] rubikscomplex 2015-08-26 02:40 pm (UTC)(link)
Listen, Keysmash, if this relationship is going to work out, you're going to have to give me more to work with. Play the straight man or play the idiot. Don't combine the two.

[ He has, at least, made it to the tunnels... the very slippery-looking tunnels. The things he does for drugs. Ugh. House is more careful in the placement of his feet and cane. ]

You told me the watered-down, half-assed version of the story. If I wanted that, I could have made it up for you. In the tunnels. How long are these things?

[personal profile] animalize 2015-08-26 02:53 pm (UTC)(link)
You're being an ass.

[ Honesty is the best policy with Malia, even if it's not very nice. She is neither the straight man nor the idiot; where she comes from, both of those roles are already taken. Still, she'd like to get rid of this awful sickness, so she doesn't hang up. ]

They're long. I don't know exactly how long they go, nobody's ever gotten to the end of them. But the pharmacy is maybe half a mile or something away from the entrance.
rubikscomplex: (listen now | i'm speaking)

We can wrap here or time-jump to the pharmacy. This has been a lot of fun. Thank you! 8D

[personal profile] rubikscomplex 2015-08-26 03:04 pm (UTC)(link)
You're being a dick. What a pair we make.

[ House swears under his breath when she mentions the distance. ]

You're going to be waiting an hour, then. I'll see you when I get there. Have a better story for me when I do.
animalize: (Default)

this seems like a good wrap-up spot c:

[personal profile] animalize 2015-08-26 03:29 pm (UTC)(link)
Okay.

[ That's all she says before she hangs up. It's actually progress, since she would have hung up without saying anything before. It's still not 'bye' though. ]
