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?
[By which he means 'home.' But invisible to the person he's speaking to, Light frowns. He doesn't have a suitable explanation for how it is that he's been kidnapped, and even less of an explanation as to why it is that 'home' is evidently not the same 'home' for everyone. He mulls over the unfamiliar word stalchildren a moment longer, then refocuses.
The problem isn't how any of this is possible; the problem is getting back and finding out exactly who was responsible for his current state of affairs. You don't make an enemy out of Kira without suffering dire consequences.]
I'm afraid that I've never heard of 'stalchildren' before so I couldn't make any educated guesses as to which.
Elsewhere. [ He sits with his back to the snow wall, feeling a momentary relief from the utter biting cold. It won't be enough, but it's better for now. ]
Stalchildren are skeletons. Monsters. Small ones, though. They'd pop up on the fields at night, back in Hyrule.
[ Link might have never been anywhere other than Hyrule, but the vast, snowy landscape was so different to the warm, summertime fields and mountains of his home that it was obvious to him that he simply hadn't travelled to another part of it.
Even the snow in Zora's Domain hadn't been the same. ]
[A raised eyebrow. The second he reads the word 'elsewhere' is the second he decides the rest of what follows is largely irrelevant. If this doesn't apply to wherever the hell this is, its only value is in expanding Light's range of what is hypothetically plausible in this abandoned winter hellscape.
That all said, the incredulity is near impossible to suppress. Skeleton monsters are difficult enough to take seriously, but it's the specific mention of Hyrule that gets him to go from a mix of amusement and disdain to outright confusion.
Of course Light recognizes the name Hyrule. What self respecting boy who grew up owning a gamecube in Tokyo doesn't? it's for that reason alone that Light is convinced there must be a misunderstanding on his end. Video game characters are, after all, strictly fictional entities.]
[ Skilled in combat... Link almost smiles. He remembers Navi's words - 'Don't be afraid of the Stalchild! Just attack it repeatedly!'. No, you didn't need to be a skilled fighter to take on Stalchildren. He likes to think he is one now, but back then... probably not. ]
Can't beat the cold in combat, unfortunately.
[ Which is admitting that he is good at it - not that he thought of it that way. He was simply admitting that he might have got in over his head now.
He packed his snow walls more tightly, in the fruitless hope he'd make it through the night. ]

I see. You must be quite skilled in combat then.
[Flattery, perhaps. But he's curious.]
