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.

    [ Thomas had finally touched the correct button to get the video to begin recording. He stops biting at the nails on his hand and adjusts it to focus on his face. It is dark, and hard to distinguish much beyond immediate facial expression.

    He is clearly worried. If the video had better lighting or focus, one could confirm a somewhat glazed expression, weary bags under his eyes, and a feverish complexion. Mostly, his own tendency towards hypochondriac behavior is wearing him down with worries. Still, it is hard to blame a man who has seen so much death caused by what would be considered not much more threatening than a common cold now.
    ] Good evening, everyone. I apologize profusely for any I might be bothering or worse, waking in this late hour...

    [ Everything past seven at night was late to Thomas, and anything past nine was inexcusably rude to be pestering others, especially strangers.

    His accent, to note, has a faint hint of what might seem like a subtle mix of a Welsh and Canadian dialect. This is, essentially, what was mostly responsible for the origins of his own regional beginnings of what we now know as a Southern accent.

    Alas, I...I am quite certain I am dying. I understand there is a 'pharmacy' from which I can purchase medicines, but I'm afraid I require a physician to note what ails me before I attempt such a journey. Is there anyone who takes private house calls?
