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?

I'd never find anything this cheap next to the market district again.

[Joking aside, he probably should move on: it's unlikely he'll find his way home by staying in one spot. Siiigh.]

[parasitaster]

Oh, you never know. I hear it's a buyer's market right now anyhow.

[Better to joke about it than not, right?]

[pointnshoot]

Is that what they call squatting now?

[He was going to concede the last word, honest, but humor is a great stress reliever.]

[parasitaster]

Around here they do, I guess. Until some enterprising soul sets up a realtor's office.

[pointnshoot]

As much as I enjoy turning the occasional profit, I think I'll leave that little business venture to someone who doesn't see a disembodied head in their fireplace.

[parasitaster]

Possibly a good point.

But if you ever change your mind, who knows. Look me up again. I could always use a way to pass the time.

[He is about 60% serious. Maybe not an actual realty business, but he anticipates he'll try to get something going on here, sooner or later. He is after all a businessman.

And he could use allies. Ones amenable to reason - even if they do occasionally hallucinate fire-breathing heads.]

[pointnshoot]

[Well you don't sound like someone who'd get everyone killed or run away with all the gold, which is about all Bard requires in a business connection, so why not? Not like they'll have time to worry about it until they've got this place figured out a little better anyway.]

I shall keep you in mind, friend. Thank you for the advice.

[Maybe he doesn't sound like it but -- well. That depends on a few things. Namely what might be in it for him.

But he's quite good at hiding his greed and ambition until a more opportune moment.]

You're welcome. I do wish you all the best. Hope all goes well, and all that.
