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?

( in his response his eyes look a bit distant, as they always do when he's recalling really specific information. he does have an astounding memory, though, so it's almost like he gets a little lost in it. )

Mailbox...I think I may know. It was in a more obviously resedential area? I'm not too far away from some kind of a church.

[vaultexile]

It was near that.

[She goes over to the door and tries to open it. She always feels the need to try just to tell herself she attempted to stop this from happening.]

I'd open the door for you if I could but I'm guessing you know that's impossible by now.

[asteric]

Yeah.

( is to keep them out or keep them in? he doesn't particularly want to think about it right now so instead he makes light conversation while he figures out which way to go. )

Thank you for the help, Miss. I really...I really appreciate your kindness. I don't have much, but I'll leave my pack in front of the door.

[vaultexile]

What? No. Keep it with you. Your things come back with you....

[She looks away from the door back at the screen. She didn't realize he was this new.]

You come back here. No one stays dead. You'll wake up after you die in a morgue. You might be missing your sight or your hearing or something else for a while but you come back.

[Somehow, she wishes she knew how.]

I just meant I'd look after your friend until you woke up again.

[asteric]

A morgue? That's really morbid. I guess at least it makes sense... ( well that's--something. he stops walking for a moment, stares at the screen not to see anything, but because his head happens to fall that way. he really should have been paying more attention to what was going on the tablets. mostly he has ignored them because he just doesn't trust that someone somewhere isn't keeping surveillance on the tablets' users. but it would have been nice to know )

I...Thank you, again. We don't lose arms or legs or eyes, do we? When I--come back, is there anything I can help you with, medically speaking?

[vaultexile]

I'm not sure. I've only died twice and I lost memories and my sight. I'm fine now though.

[She pauses at that last bit though.]

You're a doctor?

[asteric]

That's something of a relief, I guess.

( he could dwell on it, but he doesn't. instead he shakes his head, but he's smiling. he really likes it when he can be of some use. )

Not quite, but basic medical procedures was a part of the education I recieved when I was young. I do have some field experience, though.

[vaultexile]

[She nods.]

I was trained as a doctor where I grew up so I have some medical knowledge myself. Do you know much about cold climates and preventing frostbite?
