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: STAY HYDRATED
The shocking lack of vegetation and general isolation will probably make this feel much more special than it honestly is, but when you wake up one morning, you discover that a new app has appeared on your tablet! It's called WATERME and when you open it, the app prompts you to give a name to a cute little flower seed hopping up and down on your screen. Once you've named your seed, it asks you to drink some water. Generally, it seems like the kind of app that helps people remember to keep hydrated! How sweet! Whenever you drink some water, the seed seems happy. It eventually grows into a little bud!

Except, when you don't drink any water, your seed seems upset with you, and asks you why you want to hurt it? Why do you want it to die? Aren't you friends? Don't you care? You start to feel thirsty--too thirsty, more thirsty than you've ever felt before. So, maybe you should drink some water and help your seed out! Maybe you could talk around about the phenomenon...or maybe you just want to brag about how your seed is cuter than all the other seeds.

TWO: FLOWEY POWEY
After a period of time, your tablet freezes. One of two things happen. If you refused to water your seed, it disappears along with the app. If you did water your seed when it asked, it blooms suddenly into a big, beautiful flower! Be proud of your flower child, they've grown so big and strong. Except, its happy smile transforms into a malicious grin, and thorny vines spring out across your screen like a vice. Your tablet unfreezes, but the vines squirm and move things around, stealing bits and pieces of your text as you write and moving and hiding your applications mischievously.

This could just be an adolescent phase, but maybe you should try and find someone with Malwarebytes.


Action Prompts
THREE: STAY AWAY FROM THE BIG YELLOW ONES
You and your traveling companion have stumbled into the building that has an attached greenhouse filled with poisonous plants. Even on a good day, it's good to be cautious of where you place your fingers...but today you get the distinct feeling that something in the greenhouse is off. In fact, what's going on with that pod-shaped flower hanging around in a far, dark corner? It's pretty large for a potted plant.

When it opens up to reveal rows of sharp, jagged teeth lined along rough, flesh-like yellow petals, you realize that it isn't a flower at all. You've locked yourself in with an anomaly. The plant creature falls down onto four leafy legs and propels itself forward on vines--better act quick!

FOUR: NEXT STOP, ABERCROMBIE
You could have died in a number of ways--and, in fact, maybe you don't even recall dying at all. Still, you must have died, because as you wake up you aren’t where you were before. You’re in a bodybag in the columbarium morgue...and strangely, you have a distinct memory of someone placing a bouquet upon your chest, weighing you down as if each flower were as solid as a stone. There’s no visual to accompany this memory, as if your body was already dead when you felt it happen. It would be easier to brush it off as a fluke...except now all you can smell is rotting flowers--so strongly that they could be all around you. Of course, when you unzip yourself, there’s nothing there that seems to be the source of the smell.

Fortunately, it seems like there’s someone else there with you, in the part of the building outside of the morgue. Maybe they can help you, and figure out what happened. It would be nice to know, at least, if the smell is just in your head.
