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 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?

[poppycock]

That all depends if you are the sort of person who believes man is his own greatest enemy.

[ the awful jokes keep coming. ]

[reimagines]

[ That draws a sharp laugh from Will. The network was a good idea. ]

I know a few who would subscribe to that theory. The truth is man is so stupid that he becomes his own greatest enemy through idiocy. Nothing more, nothing less.

No offense meant.

[poppycock]

The opportunity of defeating the enemy is provided by the enemy himself. [ some casual sun tzu for prosperity.

with which he means to say he agrees. man's idiocy has done klaus well in many of the wars he's waged. (and it's also done him disservices.) so: ]

No offense taken.

So what's your fatal flaw? Desperation in this bleak winter wonderland, perhaps? No offense. [ he seems a little bleak himself, js. ]

[reimagines]

[ A quotation. How pleasing. His temporary companion is well-read, or at least has indulged in some wisdom for war and life. He echoes: ]

None taken.

Desperation would be one thing, right now at least. It's simply an unfortunate fact of life that man, in all his idiocy, also requires contact to coexist healthily and happily. Social creatures we are. [ Keyword there being healthily. ] I've also been told empathy is my fatal flaw under other circumstances, if you could believe that. Yours?

[poppycock]

[ "healthily" should be the keyword, but rarely has klaus' company ever been made or detained healthily. if only he hadn't recently found himself bereft of all but one of his family. ]

Pride. My unquenchable thirst to punish those who wrong me. Apparently. [ for the record, his loneliness and his answer are related. surprise! ] Do you believe it? That empathy is your flaw? Is that how you see it?

[reimagines]

That sounds like both pride and wrath to me. Pleasant flaws. They almost compliment each other. You must be a fairly frightful individual.

[ This is awfully deep for a first-time conversation, and Will almost has flashbacks to being in Hannibal's office. ]

It's not a flaw if it helps you save lives. I do what others can't. I believe that's called a gift.

[poppycock]

[ klaus smiles because he ironically considers being called a "frightful individual" a point of pride. he is frightful. ]

You sound quite prideful yourself.

[reimagines]

Like I said. Pleasant flaws. Life gets a whole lot easier after you embrace them.

[poppycock]

[ klaus has embraced them. a century -- no, even a few short years ago he would share this idea. life might be safer for his daughter, but it surely isn't easier for him.

but no matter. his family will come around. as they always do. ]

Well then good on you, finding your calling. May I assume you're in law enforcement? [ observational guess~ ]

[reimagines]

[ Good guess. There's a bit more of a delay in this reply as he deliberates on how to answer. In the end: ]

The answer to that depends on your feelings towards law enforcement. Are we going to have problems? What with your unquenchable thirst for punishment.
