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?

[Congrats you've taken her by surprise. She sneezes and then laughs.]

Well you've got me there. Apparently I'm better at this then I thought.

I guess being called the "Lone Wanderer" all the time tends to give you a certain mindset.

[armoured]

Mm, maybe, but the Lone Wanderer is a pretty cool nickname. It's all mysterious and enigmatic, it's cooler than just being "Al".

[He doesn't actually mean that, he would hate to be called the lone anything. He loves being around people too much.]

[vaultexile]

I can thank Three Dog for that one. He has a thing for nicknames and happens to be the only decent radio station in the wasteland so people picked it up pretty quick. It's a better name where I'm from then Hope at least. People are way too cynical to let that one go without a sarcastic comment.

[The wasteland. Never thought she'd be actually missing the wasteland. Hell she'd take Point Lookout over the cold here....okay maybe. But only if she was actually going to freeze to death her as her only other option.]

[armoured]

That's a shame, I think Hope is a wonderful name. It's a precious thing, especially in a place where people are cynical or hurting, and maybe your parents wanted you to remember always to hold onto it no matter how bad things got.

[Or maybe Al is just a sickening optimist.]

[vaultexile]

[Hope goes silent for a moment, rubbing her arms. She then softly chuckles.]

Yeah. I think they did. ....You kinda sound like my dad. He was always an optimist.
