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.

excuses, excuses. They probably make epi-pens for apology allergies these days

[she takes some stairs two at a time to catch up with him, but then she's stuck moving inch by painful inch behind him again. The more he talks, the warmer and madder she feels, until she's nearly shaking. No room to move around him—and she's not about to bowl over a guy with a bad leg, no matter how awful he is.]

[so instead, when she can't take his monologuing any longer, she simply vaults over the railing to her right and drops the short rest of the way to the ground floor. She rounds the bottom of the staircase and charges up to face him, stopping a couple steps below.]


Oh, will you shut up! [she kind of looks like she wants to set him on fire with her brain, but at least she's remembering her indoor voice.] Most people have the decency to accept help, when it's offered them, without picking apart why. Would you rather I take my "death stick" and leave you, alone, to whatever fate finds you? Would you find that more honest?
rubikscomplex: (friends | smug smile)

certainly in Hiro's time. He should roll the kid for his shoes AND his epi

You dropped down the stairs... so you could get in my face. Nice.

[Struck a nerve, then. That's always fun.]

And I would find it more interesting. [He raises his brows and smirks at her.] I'm just a curious guy - a Curious George without the Man In the Yellow Hat following me around. [Just the Man With the Oncology Specialty.] I would rather you turn around and get down the stairs so I can. Makes getting out of the creepy building a lot faster. Funny. I thought that's what you wanted, too. But by all means, I know we've got nothing but time. Personally, I'm banking on horror movie logic here. I'm the misanthropic bastard. I'll survive for at least 45 minutes. You? You'll get killed off for audience sympathy and to make the hero try really hard.
lancingintherain: art by me (ANOTHER RANDOM ENCOUNTER)

tsk, tsk; stealing from a child. Shameful

[OOC: since your app's in, I won't mind if you want to drop test drive meme threads now/soon!]

[it's clear to her that he isn't taking her seriously, even after her dramatic last-ditch parkour maneuver, so her fury starts to burn out. She turns around without a word when he mentions it, her posture looking tired more than anything, and is back on the ground floor in a moment.]

[Curious George and his yellow-hatted friend are easy to dismiss as folklore or historical figures from his world or something, but after his bit about "movie logic", she looks at him over her shoulder in disgust.]


...Unbelievable. Pain medicine, my arse. You're high, aren't you?
rubikscomplex: (smug | told you so)

Like shame would stop him

((OOC: Think we can fade to black about here. Thank you so much for a wonderful test thread! Hope I get in and looking forward to frustrating poor Freya beyond reason, then! 8D))

Why can't it be both? Prescribed narcotics are really good pain meds.

[Also completely legal and approved of by the FDA. It's so nice to have the government and doctors on your side. House makes it down the rest of the way and smiles at her, purposefully making the expression vacant and 'drugged out.']

Go ahead. You wouldn't want somebody high leading the way, would you?
