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: SOOTHING AMBIANCE
Today in your searches you found a SD card full of ambient noise, primarily in the form of rain sounds. It's actually incredibly peaceful, a great find for those extra-stressful days. However...when you actually relax and listen to it in full, you start to hear what you're sure are subliminal messages peppered in between the sound of droplets and pouring water. Or maybe you really are just that stressed. It's not like you'd ever follow up on anything the messages suggest, like locking yourself outside or sawing through one of your limbs, but you really would feel a bit better if you could be sure if this is in your head or not. Luckily, the music downloaded itself from your SD card to a file on your tablet, so it'll be easy enough to send someone on the Network a copy and get their opinion on the matter.

TWO: AND NOW, FOR THE WEATHER
At first, you were sure that finding WEATHER_FORECAST.EXE was going to be an incredibly useless addition to your tablet's apps. True to your suspicions, the first several days you checked it showed nothing but blizzards. Hey, at least the readings were accurate! Checking it again, however, and you'll be surprised to find that the forecast has changed. It's now boasting fair, sunny weather. You look out the window and it looks like the cloud and snow has all cleared. What are you waiting for? Strip off those unnecessary extra layers and spread the word!

Of course, anyone you talk to will probably be quick to call you on your error. As far as everyone else can see, the weather is the same cold misery that it's always been. Hopefully, someone can stop you before you get yourself frostbite.


Action Prompts
THREE: ROOM FOR ONE MORE?
In a rather delightful turn of events, you and your traveling companion have found a house with a working bathtub! The hot water is only good for one use each night, so you'll probably want to stick around a few days to get the most out of it. It looks like it's your turn tonight, so you settle in for a nice relaxing dip...when you feel your head being pushed forcefully underneath the surface.

The feeling of being held there only lasts for a moment, not enough to cause any damage, but enough that when you come up for air, you're not left particularly happy. And who could have done it other than your traveling companion? You never saw or heard them come in, but it couldn't have been no one, could it? This might be a good time to have some words with them about their idea of a tasteful prank.


FOUR: SINK OR SWIM
In a less fortunate turn of events, the house that you and your traveling companion have gotten stuck in for the night is completely waterlogged. Leaks are springing everywhere and most of the items you find are coated in mold...but, well, it was this or freezing to death outside. Time are tough. You might not be very comfortable, but maybe the two of you can make it work with a bit of creativity...or selflessness. The top of the coffee table in the living room seems dry enough to set up on. If nothing else is certain, it's going to be a very long night.

I don't know! Last time I saw a real ghost one of my friends lit it on fire and that seemed to work pretty well, but I kinda feel like that's not an option in here.

[ Even if he had any elemental flasks on him, it sounds like being here would've rendered them inert. Plus this house is pretty small and full of things that'd probably burn as well as or better than a ghost. ]

Maybe try to hit it with something heavy if it shows up again? Whatever we do, we absolutely should not split up. That's always when they get you.

Well, pish, so we just sit on our hands and see if the spooky specter comes back?

[He paces and scratches his head.

Think, Jimmy, think!

What would Jessie and Meowth do?

MECHAS! YES!

Wait, no, there are no mechas here.

Well, he's out of ideas.

James launches himself at the door and starts pounding on it.]


There HAS to be another building out there somewhere!

[He throws his weight against the door but it doesn't budge.

He tugs on the knob and it doesn't budge.

He curls up, plants both feet against the wall for leverage and pulls with all of his might.]


What are these things made of!?
