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

Seems par for the course around here. Expect the unexpected and all.

You're just full of cliche phrases, aren't you?

I'm not complaining, mind you. Observing. Anything is good to read after all this isolation.

You'll have to excuse me. I'm not at my best.

It sounds like there's a chance we may be victims of a similar circumstance.

Barricaded in a cabin against the elements with slowly dwindling resources? Experiencing hallucinations?

Yes. Interesting in that it seems to be going around.

Almost. Almost interesting. Personally I would much rather find a way to make it just stop.

Having conversations like this helps, even if I'm not even sure these conversations are real sometimes. I'd morbidly joke that dying would help, but apparently even that doesn't seem to.

Has it happened to you yet?

Not yet. I found the morgue. Bodies springing back to life, just as confused and startled as I was. I didn't stick around for long, as you'd imagine. But maybe that was a hallucination, too.

Have you died?

No. I've been lucky so far. Though I've heard the stories from a few others. Apparently, it takes a lot out of you.

As you can imagine.

[Sitting alone in the room - because he's not counting the burning ghost he keeps seeing out the corner of his eyes - he has to take a moment where he struggles not to laugh in bitter hysteria.]

This has to be one of the most surreal conversations I've ever had. I'm honestly not sure whether I should find it funny.

Morbidly funny. I won't judge if you won't.

[ Because Will might be having a grand time keeping it together, too, all bitter smiles and grimaces. It's the only way to cope. ]

Fair to say none of us here are in much place to judge.

[They've all been made more or less equal by circumstance. How he hates it.]

Yes. Judging may in fact be a luxury here. How novel.

Maybe for some. Luxury, in general, has never been the rarity for me.

[So you can imagine how well he's taking to what little they all have here and now.]

[ That somehow makes this even more morbidly humorous. ]

I'm blessed with the company of a member of society's upper echelon, am I? This must be quite the experience for you.

An 'experience', that's certainly one way of putting it. I'm so glad that my relative hardship is apparently quite amusing to you.

It's a small comfort to know that whoever or whatever brought us here wasn't biased in any way towards the poor or the elite. How does it feel to be equal? Maybe even reliant.

I've had my more than fair share, in fact my fill, of 'reliant' long before I came here. Believe you me.

[Can three decades of bitterness be translated over text?]
