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?

Am I scary, then? [Don't answer that.]

They have long faces with wide-open mouths, and they do not seem to have any eyes. Oh, that could be why they have not yet come in! They must not be able to see me.

[The fact that this all seems completely normal to him is just a testament to how much stranger everything is inside his cabin. Wood isn't supposed to melt, and yet that's exactly what his walls seem to be doing. It's a bigger problem to worry about than some strange-looking people.]
fifty: (☆ that is disgusting)

[personal profile] fifty 2015-05-13 02:57 pm (UTC)(link)
What the hell? Don't let things like that in! Those aren't people!
pechka: (09)

[personal profile] pechka 2015-05-13 03:13 pm (UTC)(link)
If things like the ghastliness of a person's face were an indication of their worth, I feel like you would be locked out of many places, Amerika.

[Friendly!]

[personal profile] fifty 2015-05-13 03:17 pm (UTC)(link)
I'd throw off the scale because of how great I look, I know.
fifty: (☆ that is disgusting)

[personal profile] fifty 2015-05-13 03:18 pm (UTC)(link)
[WAIT, THAT WASN'T THE POINT.]

You just said they have huge long faces and no eyes! Those are MONSTERS or something!
pechka: (06)

[personal profile] pechka 2015-05-13 03:20 pm (UTC)(link)
Perhaps their looks were distorted after walking so long in the snow. And are you really so cruel to people with no eyes?

Don't tell me you would just like me to be alone in here. That is too cruel, even for you.


[Sure, he's been on amicable terms with America lately, but the creeping paranoia setting in isn't doing him any favors.]
fifty: (☆ that is disgusting)

[personal profile] fifty 2015-05-13 03:25 pm (UTC)(link)
Do they have eye sockets? Why are their mouths hanging open all the time?

[IT SOUNDS LIKE GHOSTS TO HIM.]

If I lost my eyes, I wouldn't just stand outside windows I couldn't see in.
pechka: (07)

[personal profile] pechka 2015-05-13 03:29 pm (UTC)(link)
It is a bit too dark to see if they have proper eye sockets, but I can tell you their jaws look very much dislocated. It is unfortunate. They may also be howling, but that could just be the wind.

What would you do if you lost your eyes?
[That seems like a cheerier topic of conversation. It'll keep him entertained, at any rate.]
fifty: (pic#1309591)

[personal profile] fifty 2015-05-13 03:32 pm (UTC)(link)
[Oh my God.] You've gotta be making them up! That's not normal!
pechka: (05)

[personal profile] pechka 2015-05-13 03:39 pm (UTC)(link)
I assure you, they are as real as you and me. They are even leaving scratches on my window. I think I should stop them before they break the glass...
fifty: (pic#1309591)

[personal profile] fifty 2015-05-13 03:41 pm (UTC)(link)
[Oh my God?] They're there RIGHT NOW? And you're just talking to me?
pechka: (06)

[personal profile] pechka 2015-05-13 03:52 pm (UTC)(link)
Well, yes. They are not much for conversation.

[Typical America, always overreacting in the weirdest ways.]
fifty: (pic#1309591)

[personal profile] fifty 2015-05-13 03:53 pm (UTC)(link)
[Oh my God!] Send me a picture of them!
pechka: (09)

[personal profile] pechka 2015-05-13 04:37 pm (UTC)(link)
If you insist. Give me one moment!

[What Russia thinks he photographs is a pack of three humanoid things, mouths agape, blackness spilling from the holes in their faces like liquid shadow. They drag not claws, but human fingernails over his window, though a few of their nails are bent back. They leave sticky black blood in their wake.

Though, because the image is nothing but a hallucination, America will likely see nothing but a dark, curtainless window in the picture.]


Look at how lively they are!
fifty: (☆ for the hardest blow of all)

[personal profile] fifty 2015-05-13 05:06 pm (UTC)(link)
[America spends a solid minute convincing himself to look at the picture. Not seeing anything at all is a relief.]

It's not Halloween, don't play weird jokes on people, someone might take it seriously!

[Not him, of course! No way!]
pechka: (09)

[personal profile] pechka 2015-05-13 05:08 pm (UTC)(link)
Jokes?

[That's irritating. Still, Russia keeps smiling as he types up his reply.]

I think you are the one playing a joke on me. What would make you say such a thing?
fifty: (☆ here's a toast to the host)

[personal profile] fifty 2015-05-13 05:10 pm (UTC)(link)
Come on, it's obvious there's nothing in the pic.
pechka: (10)

[personal profile] pechka 2015-05-13 05:26 pm (UTC)(link)
I think you need to schedule an eye appointment. Let me break those useless glasses of yours into pieces.
fifty: (☆ bubblegum pop)

[personal profile] fifty 2015-05-13 05:29 pm (UTC)(link)
I see just fine. There's just a window! Everyone knows ghosts aren't real anyway.
pechka: (09)

[personal profile] pechka 2015-05-13 05:32 pm (UTC)(link)
You certainly seemed to believe they were real before I sent you the picture. Pretending you are not scared will do you no favors, dear friend of mine.
fifty: (☆ for the hardest blow of all)

[personal profile] fifty 2015-05-13 05:33 pm (UTC)(link)
I was just humoring you like the great friend I am!
pechka: (Default)

[personal profile] pechka 2015-05-13 05:37 pm (UTC)(link)
I am not laughing.

But if you are still interested in humoring me, would you like to send me a picture of your face? I will show it to them and tell them to go find you. They can prove to you that they are real.
fifty: (☆ God only knew)

[personal profile] fifty 2015-05-13 05:39 pm (UTC)(link)
Are you hallucinating or something? There's nothing there. [And Russia seems like the kind of guy to hallucinate things like that.]
pechka: (11)

[personal profile] pechka 2015-05-13 05:51 pm (UTC)(link)
I am perfectly fine.

[Cabin fever is telling him that America is the one hallucinating, or-- No. Not hallucinating. Lying deliberately, in an attempt to get him to doubt himself. What an awful thing to do to an ally, however strained their relationship might be.]

What is your goal here, Amerika?
fifty: (☆ maybe I never understood)

[personal profile] fifty 2015-05-13 06:27 pm (UTC)(link)
Getting you to stop acting weirder than usual. [Russia's really taking this far, if it's a joke. It's starting to get creepy again.]
