Test Drive

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.

Mm, you might be right about that.

[It's not exactly a pleasant scenario to contemplate, but Al has rarely ignored the truth just because it's a hard one to face. Lab rats for some purpose is a fairly solid working theory... he just wishes that sacrifices for a mass philosopher's stone wasn't also a good working theory.]

That's why we need to stick together to find a way out of this, we're all the same boat and we need to pool our knowledge if we're going to get anywhere. It seems obvious that they want us separated and isolated, otherwise why wouldn't we all have arrived in the same place and with a base to work from? [Not to mention the frequent doses of helpful paranoia.] So working together is already going against them.

You realize I met you while you were wandering around alone?

[Just pointing out the obvious here, Al. Since they're getting to be such good buddies.]

And I do my best thinking isolated and alone. Most people are useless. [Never mind his team running around working together. They each have their methods.] And talk too much.

Yeah, I know, but I do have a group of people that I'm rendezvousing with in a couple of days. We split up briefly to search for more clues, but we usually travel together.

[He won't even address the UTTERLY STUPID idea that most other people are useless.]

I'll call them when we get stopped for the night and let them know where we are.

Think we can wrap it here! THANK YOU SO MUCH for an awesome test drive! <3

[House just grunts noncommittally. He's cold. He's irritated and not nearly high enough. He doesn't want to be here. And now he gets to play camp-out with Robo-Shirley Temple's brother. Well, the nights are long. Maybe he'll be able to talk him into taking off that helmet. Or maybe he can just get it off of Al while he's sleeping.

Should be fun.]
armoured: (silly] hearts)

Thank you too, it was great fun. Good luck with your app and I hope we can get CR in game <3
