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 WON'T BE LONG NOW... Well, you made a mistake. You spent too long searching around, or you ran outside near the end of the day for just one more thing, and now you've been locked out. You can search around all you want, but the best shelter you can hope for is pressing against the side of a sealed up building. You do still have your tablet, though. Maybe someone on the network can give you some advice, or at least some comfort while you wait for hypothermia to set in.
TWO: CABIN FEVER Maybe you didn't want that mistake of getting caught outside to happen again, but now you've ended up staying too long in one location, and cabin fever has set in. Maybe you're taking to the network to try and ignore the hallucinations. Maybe you want to tell everyone that you've figured out they're all in on your kidnapping. Maybe you ended up wandering off and now you'd really like to know if anyone can check back in the place you were at for your pants.
Action Prompts
THREE: AN UNEXPECTED MEETING You're going about your business searching what seems like it might be an especially promising house--it's fully intact and there's even a working fireplace with some wood! It looks like someone else has the same idea, though, and you've run into them in the middle of your search. Do you share the potential wealth or try to kick them out? On the other hand, maybe you know who this is, or maybe you're just glad to actually see another person for the first time in ages.
FOUR: GOOD MORGUE-NING You've just woken up in a morgue after dying in one unfortunate way or another. You have no idea where you are beyond that, but your tablet is insisting you can't stay here, so you should probably get out of here pretty quickly. Of course, bringing people back from the dead isn't a perfect science, so you're missing something important to you. Maybe you've lost your voice, maybe you can't remember where you're from, maybe you can't remember where you are right now. It looks like someone else is nearby, though. Maybe they can help you out?
1 [ Talk about a bad night. No booze, no loud music. Where does a girl have to go to get a good shot of whiskey to wash away the cold? She could use a fireball shot or two.
Or five.
The cold wind is setting in quick but she has a strategy for blocking out the elements for as long as she can. Good thing her three hundred dollar jacket works as an insulator to the cold. She dug into the outer wall of fifty foot snow and snuggled herself inside. It's crass, dangerous but effective.
Sofia switches on the screen choosing the voice function. ]
Hey, all you assholes that locked the door? Open up. Wouldya let a fellow human being freeze? [ A scoff. ] There's gotta be someone out there.
3
Sit down and shut up.
[ She shreds some scrap pieces of paper and tosses it over on log of fire. The others were shuffled out to save for later. Why burn it all now? ]
If you know what's good for ya, you'll sit close. I'm not freezing my ass of 'cause you might be havin' a bad day.
We aren't heartless, the town is. We have no control over these locks.
[There's an edge to the voice that responds, the despairing, anxious fear of a man praying he doesn't have to listen to someone die.
There's no way he's disengaging. He's not heartless. He's not leaving this person alone even if he's not really with her.]
...I'm sorry. Try to find some other shelter, if you can. Keep your body moving; do exercises once you find some source of shelter. Try to find a covered place a fire might survive.
[There is an immaturity to him in spite of him being older than anyone should be, that much is unavoidable when one is persistently curious and has an unshakable faith in the basic good of humanity. But his shorter, simple sentences are the product of fear, fatigue, and cold; his shelter for the night will keep him alive but it's not exactly the best insulated.]
I'm afraid I've had no luck with those, either.
[A pause, in which the rustling of cloth is heard, and the sound of soft, thin leather soles on a wood floor.]
I don't think anyone could leave one of these houses if we wanted to. I don't understand how all the locks are...
[Another pause and a tired sigh. He's not being very helpful. At least walking around in search of a lock he could actually manipulate helped him warm up a little more, helped shake loose some of his lethargy, for all the good any of his energy will do him.]
I'm sorry. I wish I could do something more to help. But if you've dealt with weather like this, I don't think advice for desert nights would be of any use to you. It's the only experience I have with deadly cold like this.
[Shaun may not like migrating, but this is the closest place he could find, and it's almost dark. And he is most certainly not getting stuck out there in the blizzard after knowing that pretty much everyone freezes to death.
Still, doesn't mean he likes being pushed around, thank you very much.]
I'm a big boy now, I can talk if I please.
[So there.
(At least he closes the door behind him. Again, not super keen on the dying of hypothermia thing.)]

Tough luck on getting a reaction out of her, whoever brought them here. She doesn't do repeat offense all that easy. ]
Already on it, buster. This isn't my first trip on the winter wonderland express. [ A sigh. ] Ya tried any of the windows? Maybe they'll open.
