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.

[House is a master of avoidance. He managed to dodge clinic duty for years. This is spiraling out of his control, though. Very much so. It's important to remember that they're still on opposite sides of a telephone line and this guy has never seen him, though. They could also be miles away from each other. No need to panic.]

That's sweet, but I'm a lone wolf kind of cripple. [He hates that word unless he's using it mockingly, but let's go with that. Mr. Flayer probably couldn't even spell infarction, let alone understand it.] Except for the odd get-together. Keeps me hungry for the next kill, you know? Anyway, it'd ruin my street cred if I started walking around with another guy. People might talk, and I'm a really sensitive soul.

If I may be so bold, in my experience, lone crippled wolves are easy targets. And killing such a mighty and proud beast is never a pretty sight.

[Take Bran Stark for example! Or, well, the Stark family as a whole. WHILE WE ARE ON THE SUBJECT--]

Decapitated, gutted, burned alive. Their desecrated corpses proudly displayed for all to see. There is no trophy more sacred than that of a lifeless wolf.

[This would sound sagely if Ramsay weren't vomiting up gross metaphors for killing people.]

I guess a hunter would know.

[There's a significant silence that follows that.]

Let's play a game, Ramsay. [And back to a flippant tone.] Keeps things from getting boring. You find this lone wolf, I'll hang out with you. We can be buddies! Let me know where you're stuck each night, and I'll let you know if you're hotter or colder on my location. Otherwise, let's keep it to picture postcards for now.

[Likewise, another significant silence follows.

Then, almost like he's talking to a adorable brand new kitten--or, well, in this case, puppy...]

Lord Lone Wolf, are you offering yourself up for the hunt?

[Not even waiting for a reply, Ramsay claps his hands together.]

This lovely little village is just full of surprises, isn't it?!

[He exhales shortly, considering all the blah blah blah blah mechanics House is going on about. Yeah no. It doesn't work like that in Boltonville.]

Unfortunately, I won't be able to give you that little tip your vying for each night. I do however, promise from the bottom of my heart that I will find you and when I do, the two of us will indeed "hang out."

[He has no fucking idea what that actually means but he can deduct--]

Or, at the very least, you will.

[Fuck.

The last thing he needs here is to be playing hide-and-go-seek with Hannibal Lecter's ancestor. Well, there goes ever using the video function on this piece of crap network where Psycho can see. Or mentioning his location publicly.]

Groovy, bro. Sounds like fun. Just remember to send me pictures while we're apart. I want to know what sort of hot stud is chasing after this hot stud. You'll know me by my long, flowing raven locks and sturdy hind quarters, my lord.

[He's finding that kid in the armor, and he is latching onto him. Permanently. At least until he can find a shield who's less annoying.]

Sturdy hind quarters, you say?

[You can practically hear him winking over the microphone.]

Are you certain?

[This would have been more fun at the beginning of this conversation. Still, House can roll with it.]

This ass can go for hours. [In a direction away from Ramsay.] Hope you've got some good stamina from all those other hunts. Not that I want to hear about the other wolves you've been with. Gentlemen don't cut and tell, do they?

[Because he doesn't actually want to hear about something like this if it was just for this guy's sick pleasure. And let's face it, there's no way any of these hunts could have been done for anything else.]

Why, I've never hunted a three legged dog who took legitimate pride in their physical prowess!

[And, well yeah. House is debunking Ramsay's generally unsound state of mind pretty quickly. Even though Ramsay himself would happily argue that each and every single man, woman, and child he's killed and or/hunted in his lifetime have been 100% justifiable.

Spoiler, it's actually more like an estimated sum of about 0%.]

And you are indeed right, I can't exactly give away those scrumptious little details. Wouldn't want to spoil the surprise! Granted, given what you've told me, I'm certain you are going to prove to be an entirely different beast.

['Three legged dog.' Hah. Funny. He's been called worse.]

Guess we'll have to see. Kiss, kiss, my lord. I'll be waiting.

I know you will. I will look forward to our inescapable union, Lord Lone Wolf!
