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?
No, it really doesn't. [Lea sighs tiredly.] You'd think I would get used to it by now, considering my life has pretty much been a series of Things That Don't Make Sense for, like, ten years.
[ Marie gets to her feet. She dusts herself off and walks to the window, looking out over the snow. James watches her dully, aware that every line of her body radiates anger at being ignored.
The scraping only gets louder. He tries to blot it out, and focuses on the person talking to him. ]
My name's James. I've... seen some unbelievable things too.
[ Not ones he'd like to dwell on - not with what he's seeing. ]
I'm Lea. Nice to meet'cha. [Even though their situation is less than ideal, it's the thought that counts.]
Well, when I was a kid... the sky cracked, and little bits of it fell to the ground. They were squishy. Then Darkness came and ate my heart-- but not my real heart, not the blood pumping one, another one. So then all my emotions stopped working until I got my heart back, which was about a month ago.
So that was, uh, fun. [needless to say it wasn't fun]
[ It all sounds so unbelievable - but that was the point of it, wasn't it? James listens to Lea and isn't sure if he believes him or not. Lie or truth, however, it distracts him from Maria. Her soft words have changed into angry muttering, and it's so like Mary when she'd been on her sickbed that it makes his heart hurt. ]
I feel like I'm missing some kind of basic understanding of your home. [ He tries to put amusement into his voice, but it just isn't there. He can't fake it now - just like he couldn't fake forgetfulness with the booze before going to Silent Hill. ] But all of that sure does sound... 'fun'.
I promise you, it made about as much sense to me as it does to you. [There's a long-suffering tone to his voice. Lea is a pretty good liar, but he's actually being honest here.]
But yeah, it was... it was somethin', alright. I feel like I get it now, but only because it happened so long ago that I just kind of got used to it.
[ It was true. Fighting back until they adapted was a human trait, wasn't it? Just like before, he wasn't going to let these punishing visions and sounds drive him out of this place. ]
So... [ He doesn't really know what to say, but he needs to say something. He can outlast this, but when Maria turns to him and begins to yell, he needs something to blot her out. He casts around for something he'd said.] You have your emotions back, now?
Uh-huh. I was tryin' to do that for years, but it turns out the guy I was taking advice from was a liar, so it just happened one day and I had no freakin' idea. [He rolls his eyes and shrugs in a "what can you do" sort of way, even though he's definitely more annoyed about that than he lets on.] But yeah. So I'm starting to get used to being able to feel things again now. ...Just in time to get dropped into a frozen hellhole.
[ Not that those places had had the decency to leave James behind. Mary's scowl faded into hurt acceptance and she sighed, inching closer to the window. The scraping died off for now, but he didn't doubt it would be back.
For all he knew, this was just another part of that town, where snow and ice replaced fog and damp. ]
[His homeworld fell to Darkness, and everyone in it died. The only friend that survived the collapse was Isa, who's... out of Lea's reach for other reasons. He can't find Roxas, the only person who he actually kind of liked in Organization XIII. He barely had any possessions in the Organization's home base, but now that he's been kicked out of the castle, they might as well be gone. And his Fire powers are gone.]
You want to know all the things I have to my name? My clothes, this tablet, the stuff in the backpack, and a popsicle stick.
And I've got an affinity for Fire magic, so of course that ain't working, and the cold is kicking my ass even more than it's kicking yours.
[ Clothes, tablet, backpack, and a popsicle stick. It was a bit harsh. Not nearly as harsh as him normally being able to rely on his own fire and no longer having it. James decides that he doesn't care if magic was real or not to this guy; not here, and not right now.
He just gives a tired smile in response to the tirade. It didn't touch his eyes and it faded quickly. ]

It's amazing what a person can get used to.

At least you don't have to start from scratch.

It's okay. I guess I... assumed a bit.
