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?
[It's a surprise too, but maybe it shouldn't be. These things shouldn't surprise him anymore.]
But where does that leave me? Axel, I gave him everything I had. I did things I didn't want to...why would he just go like that? What was the point of everything? Wasn't I supposed to get a heart?
[He exhales. Of course Lea has gone over this in his head but this is new information to Demyx. He needs time to process it. If Axel got his heart, where's his?
If he finds out Xemnas has it somewhere, pacifist musician or not, he'd fight the man for it.]
Yeah, here. In this frozen wasteland.
[He sighs a little bit.]
Sorry, I'm all kinds of shocked here, you know?
And sometimes Donald and Goofy are the ones doing the punching. FRIENDSHIP IS TRAGIC...
[Lea rolls his eyes.] I know, right? This place sucks. [The whole fighting for survival thing, okay, he can deal. But why does it have to be so damn cold???] Seriously, though, 's cool. Take your time.
[He knows that he'd probably take about two minutes to get out of the state of "WHAT"... but he'd stay much longer in the state of "silent fury at everything".]
[Actually, he's still kind of in silent fury at everything. The novelty of true anger hasn't worn off.]
Sure you can't whip us up some fire? It'd be real helpful right about now.
[He's kidding and he smiles to prove it. He knows Axel can't any more than he can make his water dance. He finds something overturned he can sit on and plops himself down. It isn't the best shelter, but it's good enough. It gets them out of the wind.
He'd like to spend all kinds of time in that silent fury but he truly doesn't have the heart to pull it off. Instead he draws his knees up and hugs himself to try and keep warm.]
I hope I don't forget what you said. Maybe I'll come up with a plan or something. Or I can go back and time, smack that kid upside the head and tell him to leave Xemnas in his dust.
[Except he'd been a timid kid and likely he wouldn't have been able to avoid getting picked up by some creep.]
Everything's too silent. You really here Ax? I'm not just having some crazy snow dream right?
[Apparently that joke doesn't go over as well as Demyx had hoped, because Lea just scowls and looks away. It would be real helpful right now, and one of the things he's silently furious about is the fact that he can't bring the fire. This frigid temperature -- it's not natural for him. His body should never be this cold. It feels like he'll freeze through so deeply that no matter where he goes, his flames won't ever come back...]
[Those kids were idiots. All of them were idiots. It's kind of amazing and kind of sad how wrong it all went in just ten years. Lea just hunches over next to Demyx, palms rubbing at his eyes. It's great that Demyx is here -- it's fantastic. He's really glad. He just doesn't know how to deal with the sudden reminder of the circumstances he was ripped away from.]
[Lea shivers and sits next to Demyx, close enough to share body heat. He sighs, even though Demyx won't hear it. His body isn't exactly a furnace, but it's not a snow dream either... hopefully, in the absence of words, that will be good enough.]
[Maybe it doesn't and he lets it go with his own little sigh. He's not trying to piss Lea off, he really doesn't want to be left alone here. Demyx's own favourite climate was a warm beach by an ocean with lots of water to play with. The whole ice, snow and wind is a far cry from that and he doesn't care for it any more than Lea does.
He can see Lea is being affected by what he's said and wisely decides instead to shut up about it. Talking about home can't bring anything good and if he's just upsetting Lea, Lea might leave him there. That would be bad, very bad.
He's a little surprised when Lea decides instead to sit next to him, close enough they aren't quite touching, but once he leans into it they're there. It's just that Lea is a lot warmer than the cold air around them.
Demyx gives him a genuine looking smile.]
Just...do you think you could stay with me awhile? I don't want to freeze to death again. I'm not any good at this. I never had to get stuff myself. Not long if you don't want to, just...
[He can't leave Demyx here. He can't. That's always been Lea's problem: he can never just leave anyone well enough alone. Because if he does, then he will be alone.]
[Being alone, for Lea, is unspeakable horror.]
[He looks up at Demyx, and after about one sentence, starts nodding. Part of him is agreeing because he genuinely does like the Nobody and wants to help out, and that's great and all -- but another part of him is agreeing because he's a selfish bastard, and being alone in the snow is a very special kind of hell.]
[Demyx has been alone and he wouldn't wish it on anyone. It's pretty terrible, especially in a cold, snowy place.
He gives Lea a bright, easy smile.]
Strength in numbers. Funny.
[He snickers, ah that's a terrible thing to suggest is a pun really, but he's been serious for too long. His body seems to lose some of its tension. He's always been an easygoing guy when there's no immediate danger around.]
[...Okay, that one, that one gets him to laugh. Even if Demyx can't hear it, the relief that washes over Lea's features is unmissable.]
Ugh, you're terrible. [And he means it in the most complimentary way possible, of course. As for what to do... he just looks around and shrugs, before seeming to remember something and turning back to Demyx.]
Oh, one thing. Do ya mind calling me Lea from here on in?
[Riku doesn't. Because Riku is a jerk. Don't be like Riku. :C]
[Lea considers this for a second, and then straightens up, using his pointer finger to write a word in the air. Fortunately, it's only three letters: L, E, A.]
[Demyx will probably start calling him "Leah" until he can hear again, but that is a risk that Lea is willing to take.]
[He smiles and mulls it over. Three letters huh? Clearly he doesn't want to be called Axel so keeping it isn't an option unless Lea is being particularly annoying or something.
Then again, it'd be a little too mean to take his name from him again.]
Guess I can't really use your name. Could be stuck calling you Red or something.
[He smirks.]
Flame maybe, but that's getting into stuffy work titles. Too boring.
[Something to keep his mind off the chill is more than welcome.]

it's got Mickey Mouse in it. Totally sweet and innocent.
But where does that leave me? Axel, I gave him everything I had. I did things I didn't want to...why would he just go like that? What was the point of everything? Wasn't I supposed to get a heart?
[He's confused and distressed.]
absolutely suitable for young children
I wish I knew.
...But for now, we're here.
Donald and Goofy are in it too. Should be like a comedy instead of punching you in the gut.
If he finds out Xemnas has it somewhere, pacifist musician or not, he'd fight the man for it.]
Yeah, here. In this frozen wasteland.

All friendships are tragic. All of them.

I'll try Lea. Not really good for nicknames though.
[He taps his chin, thinking about it.]
Ax was great 'cause I could call you Ax. Lea doesn't seem as good. I'll think of something though!
[Knowing Demyx means you get a nickname. You're welcome.]
no subject
Close enough. And hey! Maybe making up stupid nicknames for me is the best way to pass the next couple hours 'til lockdown.

[Come on Demyx, you can make up better nicknames than that.]
no subject
I can go with 'Hey Asshole!' if you prefer.
[He smirks.]
