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?

"Totally. Also it was a nuclear wasteland."

No she does not even look like she's joking. She thinks back to her history books.

"2015 that's....37 years before the resource wars."

[genuinepleasure]

Clint can't help but stare for a second, noting how serious she was being and frankly finding himself a bit unnerved by it.

"Resource war?" he repeated, trying to get a feel for that. "What the hell happened where you're from that there was a need for a war over resources?"

[vaultexile]

She shrugs. "Well I'm just going from my history books mind but the European Commonwealth got in a war with the Middle East over oil. America ended up annexing Canada and got invaded by China. The UN and then EC got dissolved and it all lead up to the Great war in 2077 when everyone launched their nukes and nearly destroyed the world."

[genuinepleasure]

"...And here I thought an alien invasion was the worst thing that could happen."

He couldn't even imagine what something like that would do to the world, couldn't imagine living in a place like that. And yet this girl here was living proof that apparently it happened and it got ugly.

"How the hell did the world survive that?"

[vaultexile]

"Apparently people are really good at bouncing back. There were also underground vaults at least in America. ...well most of them were horrible experiments set up by the people who built them but at least a lot of them kept the radiation out."

She trails off because yeah, the vaults. ...the vaults she's explored were pretty terrible. She's nineteen and she's been through enough stuff for several life times.

"Everyone's pretty isolated in small settlements at the moment. I grew up in one of those underground vaults so I'm only getting to see it for myself recently."

[genuinepleasure]

Clint's quiet, soaking all of that in and trying to imagine what would happen to the world he knows if something like that happened. The Avengers--SHIELD--they did everything they could to protect the world from threats but would they be able to stop something like countries going against countries? Nuclear war hadn't exactly been in the handbook.

"...Sounds like you're one hell of a girl to survive that sort of thing," he admitted, smiling slightly before looking down at the table. "I've been through some pretty crazy stuff but that's a whole new level of insane. I'm not even sure Cap would be able to really process that and he was frozen for sixty years then thawed out and lives in the modern day."

[vaultexile]

"My life's been kinda a ....adventure?" She shrugs slightly. "Something like that. Recently anyway. Before that I was just a kid growing up in a vault who was going to be a doctor one day."

And then everything happened at once and her life became so much more complicated...and violent.

"How does your friend deal with being in the modern day?"
