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?

[England scoffs.] You actually want to share it? You must be cold. ["Cold" here being a delicate euphemism for "dying".

There's a fond note in the mockery, though he's still too embarrassed to look into the camera.]

[fifty]

It'd be like a party. [The saddest party ever, but a party nonetheless. Or maybe America is trying to wish the cookie larger.]

[keepscalm]

You've lowered your standards for parties, then.

[Even still, England would attend. He prefers small parties anyway.]

[fifty]

It'd be nice here... Any party... [Which ends up being the last thing he says. It's not really the last words he would have hoped for, but he didn't plan on dying of hypothermia, either.]

[keepscalm]

...perhaps.

[England doesn't realise what's just happened, at first, since all he has to go on is America's audio feed. When no response comes, his reaction is predictable, his expression on the video confused.] ...America?

[Nothing. Another attempt, more firmly, as confusion slowly becomes distress:] America?

[He shakes the tablet as if it's just malfunctioning, and America's voice will come through again at any moment. But when the silence stretches on too long, he squeezes his eyes shut and takes a shaky breath.]

...it would be nice.

[He turns off the video feed. Even the camera watching him is too much; he needs some time to himself.]
