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?

[ The response on the other end of the line is no-nonsense and sure of itself. James is instantly relieved. It's not that he wishes he was - not precisely - but it's that that is the sort of tone that's easy to take up all of one's attention. Ignoring the dragging and scraping outside would be easier with that clipped attitude to bark at him. ]

That's not what I meant, really.

[ornithophile]

Oh? What did you mean, then?

[Her raised eyebrow and tone make her seem more irritated than she really is, but there's genuine curiosity.]

[castigated]

It just seems... unreasonable, I suppose.

[ He closes his eyes against Maria's gentle smile. It's not the sort of thing he wants to see just then. ]

We can't all see things when we stay still.

[ornithophile]

Of course it's unreasonable. Nothing about this place makes any sense. And why should it? That would be easy.

[The sarcasm in her voice is not for James. She's tired of being stuck in this town of perpetual winter, cut off from her friends and family, not even able to settle down and have a stable space of her own. She had her own bout of cabin fever once. She wasn't about to risk it again.]

I suppose it's possible there's someone who doesn't see things, but if there's anyone's that lucky, I haven't heard of them yet.

[ He's not too sure about that first part. Silent Hill hadn't appeared to make any sense, either, but then he'd found the reason behind it all. Who was to say this place wasn't just the same?

... Or that it wasn't just a continuation of the same town? Angela had seen it all ablaze. Who was to say James' had changed from seeing it mired in fog and damp to this frozen wasteland?

Still, she has a point. ]

I haven't met them either.

... Haven't met a lot of people here, actually.
