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?
once we know how many of us there are and what sort of skillsets are present, it'll be easier to say. making a map might make survival in the meantime easier as well.
[ she had before, though what he says bothers her more than she'd like to admit. ]
it's espresso with steamed milk. not exactly quality map-making material. i've never made a map outside of dumb school projects. is a pen and paper all you need?
[ Loath as she is to admit it, she's now searching the house she's in for some sort of writing utensil. ]
if you could make a map in a drink, it'd be terribly temporary
( though it sounds like a warm drink and that would be nice right about now. )
yes, those would be preferred. some manner of measurement is important as well, but I can manage that part on my own if we can't find paper, I could always draw it on a wall. these tablets take ... ah, portraits, don't they?
( photos. portraits. same difference? they could make one and send pictures to everyone else. it wouldn't be the best solution, but making multiple paper maps also aren't the best solution. )
that's putting it lightly. you couldn't take it anywhere, but at least it'd taste good.
[ She'd probably kill for a cup of coffee right now. Literally. ]
a wall could work. that way some other poor moron could find there way around this damn place, too. yeah, i think so. i haven't tried the camera out yet, but it works.
[ She continues rummaging through the house, coming up with nothing... until she finds a piece of charcoal. It was no pen, but it might do.
Why not put that camera to the test now? She snaps a picture of it and sends it on its merry way to her conversation partner. ]
if we can find some sticks we can make our own easy enough in a fire, really, I didn't even think of that I've found a decent enough shelter by the north but it's out a ways, I can meet you somewhere more middling.
[ She glances at the time displayed on the tablet. They had a fair few hours before curfew... ]
okay. i'll start heading north-ish, i guess.
[ And with that she's off! She keeps her mask, which is a rather simple likeness of a rabbit, stored in the pocket of her coat for easy access, to be put on when she gets near. She didn't know who she was talking to, after all, and having her face be identified could bite her in the ass in the future. ]
( that means he has to head back out into the weather, doesn't it? he's not intensely looking forward to it, he still feels like he's not warm, but he'll give it a go anyway. )
if the light starts to fade, make sure you're inside.
( a pointless reminder, but he doesn't want her trapped in the elements trying to help him out. )

[ Touka ruminates for a second before continuing to type, giving a snort as she does so. ]
you and probably everyone else here.
if there's a way out, i think we'd all have taken it by now.
[ It feels so fatalistic, phrasing it that way. But it's true. ]
no subject
right, well, I should hope we all want out. if we work together, it might go faster.
<small( he's not great at trusting strangers, but hey, it's an idea. )
no subject
i've seen a grand total of maybe five other people since showing up here.
[ She conveniently leaves out the fact that she's been avoiding others, but that was neither here nor there. ]
how do you propose we start working together, then?
no subject
( it's not judging, just curiosity. )

no subject
[ Blunt as ever. It's a wonder she doesn't have many friends! ]
a map would probably help.
is there some sort of drawing function on this tablet?
no subject
( slightly hypocritical, since he's alone. that's not the point. )
a... drawing function?
no idea. I was hoping for pen and paper, surely there's some somewhere.
( he's not sure he knows how to navigate these devices well enough to draw on them. he's only ever made paper maps. )
no subject
[ Look how far that attitude has gotten her: she's sitting alone in an abandoned house and tapping away at a tablet. Just like a typical teenager. ]
that works too. i just figured we'd use the resources we already have.
i'm pretty shit at drawing, though, unless it's in a latte.
no subject
( he trusts his own ability not to die, not necessarily anyone else's. )
what's a latte, exactly?
I've made many a map before, I could do it, it might just take a bit of time.
no subject

would that work?
no subject
aye, that'll do. that's brilliant.
where did you find that?
( he will have to brave the weather, or find his own. )
no subject
i dunno if it can draw worth anything, though. it's not like the kind you see artists use.
[ Touka knows nothing about art, truthfully. What she says next is risky, but she figures, hey, it's not like she's going anywhere: ]
i could bring it over there if you can't find any.
just tell me where you are.

i'll ping you if i see any large landmarks.
