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?

pointnshoot: (another close call)

I was very proud of myself for that one

[He'll give credit where credit is due: she recovers quickly. Of course, he's in the trickier position here: she seems like the sort who'll see victory in getting the last word, and any number of false steps on his part might be taken as encouragement. Bard takes a moment to collect his thoughts, catching his tablet between his teeth as he crawls out of his little snow cave to buy himself the time. (That poor thing's going to get scratched to hell if he keeps this up.)

He immediately regrets emerging into the open air, but there's no point turning back now. Anyway, he has a comeback that should be sufficient, even if it's not half as good as his previous.]


If this is your idea of gaining a man's attentions, it can't be very much.
kindlings: (over the shoulder commentary)

it's quite praise-worthy. :p

[ Her breath comes heavier as the snow she's trudging through gets deeper, and the cold is making her teeth chatter now, but she soldiers on without complaint. She's almost to the building — which is good, because the weather is picking up and the snowfall all around them is starting to get heavier.

She scoffs at his comment, not at all fazed by the insult; it's not like she was particularly trying hard to seduce. ]


'Tch. Men're simple creatures, whether north or south o' the Wall - what they want's easy 'nough t' know most times.

[ ...a complete falsehood, really, because as much as she'd loathe to admit it, Jon Snow was much more complicated — given his betrayal at Queenscrown — than she'd realized. ]
pointnshoot: (okay but listen)

[Bard's toes are already colder than he'd like--he really wishes he'd been able to replace his boots before now--and he's shivering pretty badly himself, but he keeps walking as well, tucking his tablet halfway into his coat so the camera can still mark his progress while his hands are left free to be tucked into the relative warmth of his armpits.]

So you can tell the difference between a man looking for fun, a man looking to marry, and a man who claims he's looking to marry but will abandon you the moment you're with child? [...He might have slipped into protective dad mode a bit there. Sorry.]
kindlings: (thoughtful)

[ That gets another breathless laugh from her. ]

Y'think I can't raise a child on my own? If a man gets me with child and's too weak t' stick 'round, I'll raise 't m'self. Won't be pinin' after 'im to help me.

[ She huffs, trudges on. There might be a note of bitterness there, if his dad mode can detect it. ] A man's only 's good as his word. Naught else.
