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?

Clementine | The Walking Dead (game) | OTA

two.

[Clementine had found a small cabin with a fireplace and some necessities; she also had enough food for at least a week or so. Though she didn't really believe in staying in one place too long, she'd grown tired. And stopping here a week or so couldn't hurt, right? Wrong, apparently. The hallucinations soon began. A feeling of being watched grew into the image of eyes in the walls. The eyes have since changed again, into a dead body that stands in the corner of the room, rotting but still drawing breath.

It's just one, staring at her and making the slow groaning breaths she's grown so used to. Sometimes it looks like her mom, other times it looks like her dad, or Lee, or Kenny, or various other friends she's met over the past few years.

It doesn't move, and for some reason neither does she. If Clementine were in a sane sense of mind, she would already have furiously bashed that walker's head in with any hard object nearby (even the tablet would do). But she's disoriented, somehow confused by it, and she keeps seeing something in front of the walker - like a deep dark pit that might suck her in if she gets too close. So, she stays where she is. And the walker stays where it is.

All she has now is the people on the other end of this tablet. People she's growing sure she can't even trust.
]

has anyone else seen a walker in their room?

a living dead person, I mean.


four

[Clementine should be dead; she froze to death, she should be out of her mind and clawing for flesh in the snow. She's not dead though, and she has her own mind, she doesn't want to hurt anyone; she's not a walker. There's still something very wrong though. The place she's woken up in is cold, and pretty quiet, but she can't tell where she is. No matter how wide her eyes open, she can't see anything. She's blind.

Clementine tries not to let panic settle in, feeling her away along the edges of the building, holding tightly to the tablet that tries to tell her over and over that she should leave. How can she? Without being able to see where to go -

She stops in her tracks though when she hears a noise ahead of her.

Hello? Is someone there?

[Even after staring at the message for a minute or two, it still doesn't make sense to her. So she replies, curious despite herself.]

How can a dead person still be alive?

[personal profile] neverbitten 2015-05-15 04:06 pm (UTC)(link)
like a zombie

[She's heard that word used more commonly around here to describe what she means.]

where I'm from, when people die they come back again as monsters. monsters that don't care about anything but eating human flesh.
braavado: (I didn't think it would go that badly)

[personal profile] braavado 2015-05-15 06:08 pm (UTC)(link)
[She hasn't heard of a zombie either, but this time Clementine's description at least clears things up.]

Haven't seen any of those around.

[A pause, and then she fires off another message.]

What makes them turn into zombies? I've never heard of the dead doing anything like that before.
neverbitten: ([hm] that keeps me alive)

[personal profile] neverbitten 2015-05-15 10:56 pm (UTC)(link)
I don't know. it just happens. when anyone dies where I'm from, if you don't destroy the brain you turn into one.

[Her eyes go yet again to the corpse standing in the corner, before she adds,] I guess it happens here too.
braavado: (Promise me you'll be careful)

[personal profile] braavado 2015-05-16 03:56 pm (UTC)(link)
[Well, that's only slightly worrying. And Korra can guess why she'd asked on the tablet now.]

You see one right now?
neverbitten: ♪ in the water ~ anadel (Default)

[personal profile] neverbitten 2015-05-16 09:55 pm (UTC)(link)
I think so. but I don't think it can hurt me right now.

[If that... makes sense.]
braavado: (Did he just hack that radio)

[personal profile] braavado 2015-05-17 05:33 am (UTC)(link)
[Korra isn't ready to relax just yet, though she does feel better that Clementine feels marginally safe--if it can be called that.]

Why do you think that? Is it stuck outside or something?
neverbitten: ♪ in the water ~ anadel (Default)

sorry for the late response!

[personal profile] neverbitten 2015-05-24 07:56 pm (UTC)(link)
no it's stuck inside. I just know it won't hurt me.

I know you probably think I'm crazy


[That's sure what she's beginning to believe.]
braavado: (So that's why you kept me there)

np!

[personal profile] braavado 2015-05-25 07:54 pm (UTC)(link)
[Admittedly, Korra is pretty confused, but this is also the first time she's heard of zombies. There's bound to be a bit of a learning curve.]

I don't think you're crazy. You know more about these zombies than I do.

What's it doing?
neverbitten: ([fear] and it's the tears)

[personal profile] neverbitten 2015-05-28 02:44 pm (UTC)(link)
[That, at least, is true.]

nothing

[Then, a few minutes later and probably making even less sense now,] it SHOULD be trying to hurt me. they always do. but I know it won't
