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?
I've found much the same, unfortunately. Perhaps it is fate that we've met, sir. Though I'm sure I will be fine if you are not comfortable with my presence and wish for me to find somewhere else to stay the night.
[She looks towards the door. It remains cold out, and there's no doubt about it getting later in the day even as they speak, but Lucina is certain she can fend for herself. It would take more than weather to do her in, she's sure.]
I'm confident I can take care of myself, even in a situation such as this.
[It reminds him too much of Tau Volantis, how you could easily catch your death from the cold alone if you weren't prepared. He picks up his helmet, the inside LEDs coming to life at a touch.]
I needed a whole insulated suit to survive in a place like this before I got here. Even if you could brave the cold, you wouldn't find shelter in time before it all locked up.
[He shakes his head.]
I've had worse bunkmates. You're free to stay here for the night. And hey, if we get the fire going, it might even be comfortable.
[... Insulated suit? That sounds like a rather odd thing to see.
What's odder still is when he picks up the strange object and it flashes to life in response. Lucina narrows her eyes at the strange object. Its curiousness overtaken her curiousity for his 'insulated suit'.
She doesn't mean too, but she takes a step forward towards it. Is it alive? Is that it?]
What manner of magic is that? I've never seen such a thing before.
[It's the first clue that Lucina may have come from a veeery different world from his own. He blinks a bit at the insinuation. MAGIC DOESN'T EXIST IN THE FUTURE.]
Er, no, not magic. It's just wired with a light to help see.
[And to demonstrate, he puts the helmet on. The light sort of dims from the inside as it's filled. There's a small comfort in having at least one part of the suit on.]
It's called a RIG, it's a protective suit we wear where I come from.
I'm afraid I don't follow. Wired? Do you mean there are tiny flames in it? Would that not be rather warm after awhile? How would you keep it and your clothes from catching fire? Or are your clothes perhaps enchanted to not catch flame?
[Lucina pats her own armour in response.]
It looks nothing like the armour I wear, or any other armour I have seen. Are you sure it is effective? [... A helmet alone does not good armour make. You have to worry about the other squishy bits too.]
I'm - I guess in terms you would be familiar with, it'd be a heavy suit of armor that's powered by tiny charges of lightning. For whatever reason, I only showed up with the helmet. But it allows it to produce small amounts of...torchlight? [That's probably the word she's familiar with. Probably.] Light without heat.
The rest of the suit is similarly powered - a series of interlocking metal powered by small amounts of lightning. It's a tough, heavy frame - fifty pounds, all told. It's saved my life more times than I can count.
[That actually gets Lucina to wince slightly. She's been hit with a thoron before. Having that running through your armour... It seems highly impractical.]
Light without heat is an amazing feat. However I fear that if your armour glows like your helmet, you're simply drawing more fire to yourself. On top of the fact that you must be constantly electrocuting yourself wearing it. You must be quite the fearsome soldier on the battlefield to withstand such a thing. I'm impressed.
It's less a suit for the battlefield and more for dark corridors. The environment I tend to be in wearing such thing isn't an open field. In fact, I couldn't imagine the last time I saw one.
[He does chuckle a bit, warily.] Don't worry though - we've figured out ways to keep ourselves from being shocked by our own armor. Though I can't say I haven't felt that kind of pain before.
That is unfortunate. I could not imagine having to fight in cramped confines. Especially dark ones. It is good that you've figured out ways to not get electrocuted, however. I doubt even I could withstand that for long in a battle situation.
If it is not too much to ask, I think I would enjoy learning about your strange armour, and it seems like it will be a long night regardless.
