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?

Like what a person chooses to talk about can reveal a lot about who they are?

So what do you think about me?

I think you're scared your past is going to catch up to you. And you're scared you'll lose your sanity to all that killing you seem to regret.

[Well he isn't wrong.]

You're pretty good at this.

It's my job to be. Not hard to see, though, if you read everything back. Almost an open-shut book.

Not everyone notices what is in front of their face.

The world would be a lot easier if people did.

How long has it been since you've last seen a person?

Few days. I haven't been here long, but I don't want to get stuck out there, and every time I go out, I haven't found anyone.

It's like a ghost town.

At least a ghost town would allow for wandering. This is stifling. If hell were frozen over, it would be something like this, I suspect.

I hope you've been rationing.

Yeah, this is pretty bad.

I am. I don't know how much longer it will last.

This kind of snowstorm most likely won't let up for a few more days. You at least won't starve to death if you still have food.

The sounds will get worse, though.

I know.

Can I talk to you if it gets bad?

[He's easy to talk to, and at least he seems like he knows what he's talking about. It's familiar in a way.]

[ That surprises him a little. ]

You can call me if it does, yes. But I can't promise I'm the most exciting person to talk with.

[ He feels he's rather reticent and dull when he isn't talking about a case. Withdrawn. Introverted. ]

I don't mind. It's better than sitting in the dark, going crazy. You're easy to talk to.

I can't say I've heard that before. People usually find me quite the opposite.

[ Which also tells him a lot about her. ]

But desperate times call for desperate measures.
