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?

Not necessarily. If the snow is packed tight, it'll trap your body heat.

[slay]

Well, I don't have any other plans tonight. Can you believe it, all the home and garden shows I watched, and HGTV never once taught me to build an igloo.

[gritted]

[ ?????? ?????? pop culture ????? ]

HGTV?

[slay]

Forget it. 21st century thing.

[gritted]

[ Oh. Interest piqued. ]

You're from Earth?

[slay]

Yeah. You?

[gritted]

Not until recently.

[ Ha ha good jokes. But she's been here long enough to know context helps, so: ]

I grew up on a space station.

[slay]

A space station
In space /??

[gritted]

No, it was in the ocean.

[ ??????? ]

[slay]

Shut up

[gritted]

You really want me to stop talking to you while you burrow into the snow, by yourself?

[slay]

no don't literally shut up, I
It's a thing we say.
Forget it.

[gritted]

[ Oh ok. Humor. She'll work on... getting some... ]

Do you not have any? Space stations.

[slay]

Well none with like real people in them
or not like
a lot of people who grow up there eating space food and not watching HGTV.
Actually most of our space stations are pretty much the source of HGTV
because they're satellites, not space stations.

[gritted]

Ok, seriously, what is HGTV?

[ YOU CAN'T KEEP BRINGING IT UP AND THEN NOT TELL HER ]

[slay]

it's a tv station
they show stuff like people buying houses in europe and remodeling

[gritted]

[ Oh. That sounds...... really nice........... ]

Where in Europe? What kinds of houses?

[slay]

Big ones. Nice yards.
Sometimes they're in like the caribbean, too. Vacation homes and stuff.
It's all rich people.

[gritted]

Privileged.

What are the yards for? Do they use them to grow food?

[slay]

Sometimes. Or for pets, or for kids to play, or barbecues.

[gritted]

[ She shouldn't ask more questions. It's rude, right? It's also not what's important when Muffy is freezing to death, but pets— ]

What kinds of pets? Did you have any?

[slay]

I had a goldfish once. I mean I overfed it but
Mostly people get cats and dogs. My family never did.

[gritted]

We weren't allowed to have pets on the Ark. They used up too much oxygen.
