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?
"Whoa, sorry!" The figure in the doorway has her furred hood drawn up to protect her face from the cold, but she throws it back now and shakes off the snow covering her.
"Didn't know someone else was in here," Korra says, giving Angie what she hopes is a disarming smile. Both hands sweep out to the side, showing the other woman that she's unarmed. "Mind if I join you? The storm's getting worse."
Oh, it's a kid. That does make Angie feel a bit less on edge. The girl does look a bit strange in those clothes, but they seem warm too. Maybe she's Canadian. Angie gives her a smile, strained though it may be before she stands and brushes dust off her skirt.
"Uh...sure, why not?" She says. "Can't see anybody enjoying being left out there in that. I was just about to..." She motions with her hand toward the fireplace.
"I've been looking around, hoping to find more stuff we can use," Korra admits, closing the door behind her in relief. While cold normally doesn't bother her, it's definitely starting to, now that her connection with water has been seemingly cut off.
Her gaze lands on the fireplace, and her expression brightens. "Oh, hey. I found a pack of matches in one of the other houses. If it gets too cold in here, we can use one of them for the wood and keep warm that way." She pauses, dropping her pack on the ground carelessly. "I'm Korra, by the way. Thanks for letting me stick around."
"Oooh, those'll come in handy," she grins and then nudges on of the logs of wood with her foot. "I thought I was going to have to stare them down until I burned a hole in 'em. One of the only times I've thought I should'a taken up smoking, you know."
Sorry, she has a tendency to ramble a bit when she's trying to keep the mood light. "I'm Angie. Angela, really, but I always think of my mother when people call me that. Pleasure."
She smiles faintly when she figures out what Angie's doing. Korra can't exactly blame her when she's been doing the same, forcing out the cheerfulness in order to forget what this place has taken from her.
"Yeah...I guess a lighter would've been pretty handy now." Korra drags a rickety looking chair closer to the fireplace, coughing a little a the dust that she sends up with her actions. "Ugh, looks like this whole place hasn't been used in ages. Have you seen anyone else around?"
Angie shakes her head, "Haven't heard another living soul since I came in here, 'cept you. I did take a look around, but there isn't much left in here besides the wood. Probably picked it over and moved on."
Or so she hopes.
"Have you seen anybody else around outside? I didn't notice any footprints but mine."
It's Korra's turn to shake her head. "I woke up in an empty house not too far from here, and I've been searching the place since then."
She fetches the bag she'd dropped earlier, tugging it open with a frown. "I found this bag and the weird flat thing right next to me. It asked me for my name and everything, how creepy is that?" Korra says, making a face. "Anyway, the bag has some food and water in it, but I don't think it's going to last long. Did you find one of those, too?"
"I found a bag, but I left it in another room while I was looking around. Think it was a bedroom," she admits. "I should probably find it before it gets stolen by someone else snooping through this joint."
She points a finger at the black...thing that Korra is holding and nods her head a bit. "I found one of those two but didn't know what it was. So I kind'a...left it there. I couldn't figure out how to use it. I hope it's not important. It's not, is it?"
Korra chews on her bottom lip, thinking. "Were there blankets in the bedroom? We could always draw them out here in front of the fire place and grab your bag while we're at it."
She sounds hopeful--blankets would go a long way to keeping them warm through the night, and they could keep the matches for another day. "And I don't know about the flat thing. I've never seen anything like it before."
"Oh sure, kid," she walks towards Korra and heads back out the doorway. "They looked on the spare side, but better than nothing, huh? Maybe we can check some of the other rooms for more."
She heads for the stairs because that's where she had been when she dropped her bag. "So, where you from? You know, since nobody's homegrown around here."
"Better than nothing," Korra agrees, already following Angie. "Even if they're thin, we could always layer them."
While her eyes scan the floor and the rest of the room for anything else they could use, she answers absently. "Grew up in the South Pole, but I've been living in Republic City for about a year now. What about you?"
