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?
[Korra looks up, wary, when she hears footsteps at the door. Quietly, she shifts her weight onto her feet, making it easier to defend or attack if she needs to. It's not pleasant, suspecting the worst of everyone, but she's learned the hard way that kindness is not what some people automatically default to in a life-and-death situation.]
It's not taken--uh, not exactly, I mean. I was just looking for supplies around here.
[Korra jumps to her feet anyway when she gets a good look at Sansa, brows knitting together in concern.]
Here, get inside. You look like you're about to fall over.
[She understands the mistrust. It is the same Sansa holds within herself. Too much can happen, and when everyone is on the edge of life or death, one cannot be too careful. That does not mean she does not recognize kindness though. Sansa keeps her head bent as she enters the cabin, pleased by the immediate warmth that envelops her.
Turning back, Sansa closes the door behind her.]
I have been seeking shelter for some time now. [The warmth is a comfort, but it nearly burns at her frigid skin, thawing parts of her already.]
You can stay here with me if you want. [Korra peers out of the window at the sky, a frown on her face.] I wasn't going to stick around long, but it's getting late. I don't want to risk getting locked outside when the doors close up.
[Sansa's probably already heard people crying for help on their tablets the previous few nights, if she's been paying attention to it like Korra has. Closer now, Korra studies Sansa carefully, noting the blue tinge of her lips--as someone who grew up in the snow, she knows all too well what that means.]
How long were you out there? My name's Korra, by the way. What's yours?
I was hoping for the same. [But nearly preparing for the worst. If she didn't come across another house soon, she might have been dead the next morning. It's a thought that has crossed her mind many times over. Rubbing her hands together, she does not want to think on it now. Sansa only follow's Korra's gaze out the window to look at how low the sun is in the sky.]
Most of the day. I wanted to see who else was out here. [Petyr, Mya, or mayhaps Myranda Royce. She's checked the tablet herself, but while she only has a vague understanding of it, she's not sure many from her world may even use it. It is a dangerous thing to go out and do, but it seems she is so far alone here.]
Alayne. My thanks, Korra. I am grateful for your kindness.
Looking for friends? [Now that she's seen what she wanted to, Korra moves away from the window toward the other end of the room, where it's warmer.] I've been doing the same.
[She'd left the tablet on the table when Sansa had come in, but she looks at it now, flinching when the bright light of the screen reaches her eyes. Even after a few days, she's still not used to technology like this.
Korra's silent for a second before speaking up again, sounding tired.]
And...it's not kindness. People should help when others are in trouble.
I don't have any. [Mayhaps Mya or Myranda, but she barely knows them both. There is Petyr, but he is more ally than friend, and it is harder and harder to place how she feels for him when she does not know if she can trust him. He has rescued her, saved her, and is giving her all she has wanted, but she sees the game he plays.]
Just people from home. [Other allies. Vale men or if there are any loyal houses to her family left. She doesn't know.]
They should, but often they do not. [For fear of looking weak or lack of resources or simply because they are cruel.]
You don't? [That has Korra feeling, and looking, surprised more than anything. Alayne seems nice enough. It doesn't make sense that she wouldn't have friends. For a second, Korra thinks of how lonely it had been in the compound, and how happy she'd been when she finally made friends in Republic City.
She opens her mouth, letting the words tumble out.]
Uh--well, if that's true, I could be your friend. [Korra gives her a crooked sort of smile.] We could all use some help around here if we want to figure out what's going on, right?
[Her smile is gentle. It is too much of an instinct to be wary, but the girl shows signs of genuineness. She is kind and almost naively so. Sansa remembers the time when she was, when believing that people should do the right thing.
But to have a friend again. She thinks of Lady Margaery, and her chest tightens for a moment. Sansa was nearly family for a time, before the Lannisters.]
That is true. Our survival may be dependent on it here.
Great. [Korra practically beams at her. This place might suck, but at least she's made her first friend here.]
Oh yeah, I wanted to ask you something. What do think they want us for? I mean, if they're leaving packs of supplies and something we can use to talk to each other, there should be a reason.
