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?

She has the weapon here, yes, but she was also the first one here. Enoch doesn't want to intrude on another person's find - not to mention, he was used to deferring where he shouldn't. He was older than more or less everyone he met, and yet had to act as if he was younger than someone else because they had gray hair and wrinkled skin and his would never be either. He'd gotten used to it. To defer to this young woman was nothing to him, given the circumstances.

"Mm." The voiceless assent was accompanied by a nod. "It's too easy to run out of food, in one place."

He's never encountered cabin fever, given the way he keeps moving on principle.

"Besides, staying in one place ensures you don't find anything else - supplies, answers, or a way out."

Steph just sighed. She was sick of moving around and hiding to survive. That had been her life of the last several months, and she had hoped after her father's death she wouldn't have to keep running.

"I'm Stephanie, by the way. Nice to meet you, I guess." The circumstances could have been better.

ugh I meant "wordless" not "voiceless" sorry orz

"Likewise. I'm Enoch." In normal circumstances, they might not even have spoken even if they'd lived in the same world, even if they'd encountered each other.

"I'd offer my hand, but I'd rather keep my cloak closed. Forgive the rudeness..."

And he hopes she'll forgive any abruptness as he moves out of the drafty hallway towards what looks very welcomingly like a hearth.

I had wondered...

"Nah, it's cool." She isn't used to grown men being so polite to her. Hell, she isn't used to grown men treating her like anything but an overgrown kid.

"We should get some heavier clothes together." She pauses in her work to glance over at him. "I mean, all of us." Not just she and him. "Get together what fabric we have and turn it into something that's actually suited for the arctic tundra outside."
