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: IT'S THE INSIDE THAT COUNTS When you found the SD Card containing XRAY.EXE, you couldn't stop yourself from being a bit excited. This is definitely going to be something useful. Or so you think. It seems normal when you try it on yourself. You see all the bones in your hand underneath the skin. Pretty cool. But then you keep trying it on things to see if it can see through things other than living tissue. And, well, you didn't really need to see the pulsing organs and bone structure of the cabinets. Definitely not the beating heart inside of the matress you've been sleeping on. Maybe someone will be willing to take this SD card off of your hands. TWO: GROWING PAINS You woke up with a crick in your neck. You're sure, at first, that you just slept funny, but the ache hasn't gone away throughout the day. In fact, sometimes when you rub the skin in the offending area you're pretty sure you can feel a protrusion just beneath the skin. Maybe it's all in your head, but you think you'd feel just a little bit better if you could have a second opinion. If nothing else, maybe someone would be willing to share some kind of medication with you to ease the stiffness. For all you know, all you need is another night's sleep to clear it up. Still, surviving here is hard enough without having a potential spine-related complication hanging over you. Best to get the all clear as soon as possible. Whether or not there's anything actually there at all...well, you'll just have to wait and see what the Network consensus is. Confusingly, the response may be different from person to person. Action Prompts THREE: THE BONE ZONE The second the two of you stepped foot into this house you knew you weren't going to be comfortable staying in it for the night. Unfortunately, lockdown hits before you can think about backing out and trying to find another option. So what's the problem with this place? Everything is made of bones. The furniture, the decorations, even the walls and floor. It's the best you can do to hope that they're fake. Maybe this was a house belonging to Halloween enthusiasts? With luck, you'll still be able to find some useful items in the drawers. With even more luck, you'll still be able to get some sleep tonight. FOUR: SPOOKY SCARY SKELETON You almost done realize that something's after you and your traveling companion. It's not until the snow-covered skeleton is hot on your heels that you realize you need to run. The thing hangs low to the ground, gliding over the snow like it's nothing, silent and camouflaged. It's the clinking of the bones as they tap against one another that tips you off. That, and the piercing bloodshot eyes it has--real, human eyes when it shouldn't have any. Fortunately, your destination isn't too far in front of you. If you hurry and utilize some fast-thinking, the two of you should be able to make it in to safety. The real tricky part will be making sure that it doesn't follow you inside. That's where teamwork comes into play. Hopefully, the two of you are able to work together.

[ Hello, Norfinbury, you're being greeted by someone who looks so very happy to be here. It's cold and it's dark, two things that only add to his happiness, or lack thereof.

But he's also just found an SD card and inserted it into his tablet. It does exactly what it says on the label, which is to act as a portable X-ray machine of sorts. ]

Fascinating. I always wanted to see the inside of my own hand.

[ Or at least, the bones in his hand. As he's shifting the tablet around, he happens to pass it over the object closest to him, which happens to be a mattress. What he sees causes him to nearly drop the tablet to the floor. ]

What in the-

[ He cuts himself off, but that surely is a beating heart apparently contained inside said mattress. Suddenly, the SD card is a lot less interesting. ]

Pleasant.

[ There isn't a lot that rattles Bond. He's seen it all, more or less, and on top of that, he's been through a lot.

But none of his experiences could prepare him for this room that's made of nothing but bones. ]

Is this meant to be real?

[ He asks of his traveling companion, a note of disbelief in his voice. The bones certainly appear real enough, but he's not quite sure he wants to feel them for himself. ]

Do those who happen to die here have the pleasure of being turned into houses?

[ If so, then he would rather not die. He doesn't much fancy the idea of his bones being used to construct a house. ]

In my experience, they're not allowed the pleasure to die.

[ Miranda's voice is (bone) dry as she enters the room, light on her feet to avoid disturbing anything that might be lying in wait. ]

- At least not during the present cycle. These were some of the previous residents, I suppose.

[ She pauses to consider a rather tasteless skull goblet. ]

Is that so? Well, isn't that unfortunate. Have our captors mastered the art of immortality? Or are you implying something else?

[ Something outlandish and impossible, perhaps. ]

So we have a similar fate to look forward to, I assume.

[ Maybe not one involving bones, but something equally pleasant to look at. ]

[Mycroft can deduce who works for...certain agencies. It's a probability of 93% this man himself does. Accent easily lends itself to the man being one of his own, but he doesn't know him. Which is worrisome.

The potential for someone with a high level skill set could be a welcome thing...or not.

If he's a rogue player, they would all be in trouble. He peers at the screen, attempting to deduce more, if he might recognize something about him.

~~He's more of a Sean Connery Bond fan.~~]

What's in the mattress?

[Regardless of his origins, there's definitely something strange going on at his location.]

Edited 2017-09-19 22:58 (UTC)

[ Bond would prefer not to be known, at least not right off. He still hasn't yet determined who can be trusted and who can't. Mycroft therefore remains on his vaguely suspicious list.

How this conversation goes may change that for good or bad. And he can be a rogue player but only when the situation calls for it. More often, he prefers not to go rogue. He's not above it, but it's hardly ideal.

~~Sean Connery has nothing on him.~~ ]

A heart. A beating human heart, to be precise. Or rather, I assume it's human based on its appearance.
