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?

Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

What kind of heroic tales would you prefer to hear? Ones that end well?

( maybe it should be obvious because hope and good cheer aren't exactly in over abundance here, but still. )

[The response earns a somewhat nervous, quiet huff of a laugh.]

I admit, something optimistic would be appreciated. But I understand not every tale is so idealistic. I will listen to whatever you have to tell.

[Really, something to distract her from the thing trying to break through the floorboards is all she wants.]

Of course! My friend prefers to hear tragedies, and more classics seem to be them, but there's nothing wrong with a happy ending. ( he's trying to sound as uplifting as possible; at least his voice sounds friendly. )

Have you heard the tale of Candide?

[She's happy and grateful for the effort, at least. It would be all too easy to succumb to doom and gloom in these conditions.

Zelda shakes her head, but watches the tablet with rapt, perhaps overly focused attention.]

I have not; the word does not sound like anything from my world.

( understanding that he has an audience now, he's going to put enthusiasm in himself. the power of story!! and all. also, he can't lie, it's something of a distraction for himself, being a performer. )

Do you have satire in your world? It's a satircal novella, but it does have a good, happy ending.

Candide, The Optimist, started out in a Baron's castle in Westphalia with a tutor in philosophy. The tutor taught him the philosophy of optimism and that he lives in the best of all worlds, that all things are for the best. Candide develops a romantic attraction to the Lady of the Castle, Cunégonde, so he's thrown out, but that's just the beginning of his adventure. ( skipping over the naughty bits and gross bits? you bet he is. )
