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?

[Oh, wow. Dark tunnels are really not something he wanted to see right now. He's had way too many bad experiences involving those.]

It's definitely nowhere near where I was before. That's pretty much all I know.

[book_ends]

Well.... yeah, same here.

Not that I was quite sure where I was before this either, but now I'm even more lost.

[genreblindness]

It's probably a good idea to keep looking around. There's got to be maps or something.

[book_ends]

Yeah, I'll keep a look out for it.

But I think I'm going to stay here for a little while longer, at least until the blizzard dies down.

_{[He hopes it does soon, his legs are going numb and he really doesn't want to freeze to death.]}

[genreblindness]

Yeah, wouldn't want to go out in that. Doesn't exactly look safe.

[Not that anywhere is looking safe to him right now, thanks to the hallucinations.]

[book_ends]

Mhm. The houses didn't look much safer though so if you're in one... Please be careful.

I... I left the one I was in. I might be starting to regret it now.

_{[he looks to the side, at the snowstorm raging outside the tunnel he's taking shelter in.]}

[genreblindness]

Yeah, don't worry about me. I'm always careful.

[Especially because he is very aware of the potentially nonexistent dangers in the house he's in.]

So what made you decide to go out in this weather?

[There's a slight hint of suspicion in his voice.]

[book_ends]

I, uh....

There were monsters in it.

_{[They may or may not have been real, but Simon wasn't taking any chances.]}

[genreblindness]

[Well, that's not the answer Jay was expecting.]

...What do you mean, monsters?

[book_ends]

Like...

Zombies.

Sort of.

Crazy people with caved-in heads.

[genreblindness]

...Zombies.

[And it just keeps going in more unexpected directions.]

Are you sure they were really there?

[book_ends]

I don't know man, they appeared out of fucking nowhere.

I tried to fight them off but they were too many.
