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?

[In Jemma's world, things will eventually resort to all right, so when she says it, she usually means it will be.]

But you're alive?

[See? That's positive! Sure, she sounds uncertain about it now, but she's trying.]

May I see? Perhaps everything isn't quite back to tip-top condition?

[Like how she follows his gaze, only to see nothing.}

It's been rather traumatic for you.

[figureitout]

I'm alive, because apparently most people who die here are brought back and I have no idea how. There was no kind of anchor to bring me back. [Anchor? Yeah, so about that, he may have frozen to death once before, entirely voluntarily that time, but they all had anchors then-- people with whom they had a connection to anchor them to the world and bring them back.

And her explanation (not back in tip-top condition, wow, no shit) is actually... well, preferable to his immediate thought that the same thing has happened as happened when he was brought back before- that a door is left open inside his mind that is causing this.]

So, you think it's just- some kind of malfunction? That whatever magic made me alive just didn't work as well as it should've and now I can't read because of that?

[Stiles frowns, rubs his chin with his hand. That... might not even be too far-fetched. He also ignores the part about this being traumatic; partly because, well, dying would be traumatic to anyone, and partly because it's not like he's the only one this has happened to, so they're all in the same boat here. A boat that's probably rapidly sinking, but the same boat regardless.]

But you're alive. [For all the sarcasm covering worry, Simmons will focus on that and practical matters.] And you'll freeze to death a second time if we don't get you somewhere else. I don't think the morgue would help.

[Everything is said clearly and with patience. This is not the first time in her life she's had to deal with someone awakening to find things don't work like they should. This boy has speech, which is far beyond her previous experience.]

Whatever resuscitated you [She presumes it's science she doesn't yet understand rather than magic. She will always believe that.] may have brought you back to life, but your body, your mind has to deal with that trauma, and given time, you'll see improvement. You can walk, speak, and understand your current problem. I've seen those brought back with far less.
