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?

OPTION 1.

S.O.S., can't feel nose or feet. Or teeth. Anything really. Need ten, maybe fifteen snuggies stat.

Grandma always said "Don't sail out farther than you can row back." Maybe next time I'll listen to her.

[ Alternatively, if you're brave enough to save his dumb ass, he'll be huddled against a wall, chin to chest with arms as tight as possible around his face in some halfhearted attempt to shield himself from cold. Otherwise, he'll respond nearly the same in video. Got to keep the blood flowing and keep moving. Talking might keep him lucid a little bit longer. ]

OPTION 4.

[ Everything is murky. Like a heavy fog wrapped around his face, blinding him and making his movements weak and sluggish; like wading through water. His mind turns slowly, blank but not. He knows his name and where he's from, he knows the face of his colleagues and remembers the taste of the cafeteria's jell-o. But it feels like he's been whacked hard on the back of a head, like he's in an episode of Looney Tunes and got stars swirling around him, bright and pulsing.

Eventually getting to his feet, his eyes start to adjust though his body is still slow to follow. He realizes with heavy footfall that it's a little -- no, a lot -- numb. Like his limbs have all fallen asleep, but without the telltale tingling. It's nauseating, but he can't feel the ground, or the wall he starts to clutch against, nails digging in for any sign of something palpable. Drugged, maybe? That has to be it. His tablet buzzes and he groans as he feels his pockets for it, nearly tearing it out and dropping it as he reads the message.

His memories are less fuzzy, though. Before anything else, he remembers being cold.

Followed by how much it sucked.

As he carries on through the nearest open door, he's sure he hears someone else. Still careful with how he holds himself as he gathers his bearings, an involuntary sigh comes before he speaks. ]

Hey, uh. Little help over here? Hand or two? Foot, maybe? I'll take whatever you got.

Option 1

We seem to be out of snuggies. How do you feel about trying to make a snow cave?

[She's not actually taking this lightly at all. Exposure at these temperatures would likely lead to death. She wasn't even sure a snow cave would help. But it was worth a try.]

You're about to die of hypothermia and you're asking for snuggies?

[A ridiculous invention really.]

Call it a hunch but I don't think they're going to help when your toes start falling off.
