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: TURN AROUND It's after lockdown, but not early enough to go to sleep. You've got everything sorted out, and now you're bored. Time to video chat on the network! Everything's fine from where you are... But unfortunately, there's something behind you. Something humanoid and creeping closer inch by inch, trying to sneak up on you without you noticing. Maybe the person you're talking to will let you know about that. The only problem? If you do turn around to look, you won't be able to see it. If your tablet friend can convince you to move to a different room and close the door, everything will be fine. If they can't, well, they'll be watching you get dragged off into the darkness before too long. TWO: CAUGHT ON FILM Normally, this doesn't happen. In fact, normally it never happens. However, something has gone a bit wrong today, and the tablets are turning on and off by themselves. This makes for some pretty disjointed conversations, with people popping in and out at the worst times. And, of course, someone might see you doing something you'd prefer they didn't see. NOTE: Please don't post anything sexual in regards to this prompt. While in-game the network doesn't allow for accidental posts, we thought you guys could have fun with it here! Action Prompts THREE: HORROR HOSPITAL After a long trek through the ice tunnels, you've finally reached the hospital! You've just stepped inside to see what there is to see... And the door locks behind you. Looks like it's curfew, and guess where you're spending the night? The atmosphere is oppressive and the tablets don't work quite right, but this is probably better than being outside. Maybe you'll have some company with you? And there are probably beds somewhere. FOUR: OKAY GUYS QUICK POLL You've run into some good luck--you've just found a blanket! It's soft and warm and if you fold it right, you're sure it will fit into your backpack. You're sure, but you can't tell, because it's already stuffed full of things. You're going to have to pick and choose what should stay and what should go... But hey, there are other people around! Maybe they can help you sort out your supplies! Maybe you can give them some of the stuff you can't carry! Maybe you can steal their backpack so you can carry more! The options are endless!

Unfortunately for me, there's nowhere around here with anything equivalent to where I usually sleep! Beds are a close second, I guess.

[The troll snorts a little as Sans plays with the skeleton, walking closer to tap her hand on its skull herself.]

I've never seen a skeleton before today that wasn't just rotting away on the ground somewhere, so I wouldn't know! Guess I do now, though.

oh fun.

[skelepuns]

......

[Sans isn't sure he likes the implications of this conversation or where it was headed.]

right. so, the thing you said you saw. sounds pretty fishy if you ask me.

[Yes, let's change the topic with humor.]

[fishious]

Ohhhhhh my god? You're not actually about to start doing fish puns at me. I know any authority is hard to angle around here—[she starts winking. very obviously.]—but you need to know when to stop being lazy and start doing the thing that I pay your brother not to do!

I'm talking about scouting.

[skelepuns]

to be fair, calling what I sleep in at night a bed anymore is kind of a stretch.

[That next bit Aradia said sounded... pretty morbid. And confusing. What on earth was this monster talking about?]

i don't know it works wherever you come from, but skeletons usually turn into dust when they die. if you were to hang up a real skeleton for some reason, it'd have to still be alive. which is why I'm guessing this one is plastic. real skeletons can be a pain to take care of.

[skelepuns]

maybe I act lazy, but I still try to keep my bones from yellowing. so thanks.

[Did this person not realize he was a skeleton upon walking in on him doing this whole thing, trying to talk to a fake skeleton?]

hey so, do you know why a hanging plastic skeleton is in a hospital?

[skelepuns]

i'm pretty sure i catch your drift, undyne. although I should point out that technically you haven't been paying me to do that either, and that you're not really my boss anymore.

honestly, it's kind of hilarious having someone popping around reality trying to mess with me.

y'know, now that i can't do it anymore.

[ Tim raises a single magnificent eyebrow at the mumbling, then shrugs. Sure, Hairgel McFashiondisaster. Okay. ]

Fair enough. I guess that's lesson one? Avoid the morgue. And the monsters.

[ His tone of voice makes it pretty clear that he doesn't think that's something people should need to learn, but. Maybe this guy's even more robot than he looks. Robots probably don't go for the whole instincts thing, right? Common sense might get overlooked during the programming. ]

Lesson two is about, uh, not trying to get back outside after lockdown. No point. Even - even if freezing to death is, uh, something you're interested in.

One | @dissect
[Here's everyone's favorite glasses-wearing doctor! (Dr. Stein, for those of you who thought you had other glasses-wearing doctor options). He's looking chipper, despite looking significantly less clean (and clean-shaven) than he did on earlier videos. Admittedly, the cheer seems a tiny bit forced. ]

Good morning, Norfinbury! [And that's a peace sign, two fingers raised next to his smiling face.

A shadow moves behind him, a shift in the darkened room that's so subtle it might not have even happened. ]

It's come to my attention that there are quite a few of you who aren't human! As your resident medical expert on non-humans, I want to remind you how vitally important [and his tone is less "unnecessarily cheerful" than "smiling threat" there, then back to chipper] it is to come visit me while you're still relatively healthy so we doctors have a baseline for your unique biology.

[That weird shadow-thing moves again, sneaking closer to the doctor.]

I'm also looking for some medical supplies! If you bring me sutures or scalpels, I've got a prize for you! [He tilts the tablet down to get a view of assorted supplies, including cans of soup, a blanket, and cigarettes.]

[0thingsonmymind]

*He sighs and shrugs. There had been signs but none of them really said what he wanted them to say. Maybe if they could find wherever people were admitted...but where would that be? Maybe it was best to just pick a direction and keep going until they find what they need or a dead end.

He sighs and starts towards the next room. He's silent, again, except for some coughing.*

[0thingsonmymind]

*He raises an arm to shield his eyes from the sudden light and tenses. Just in case he needs to bolt from...who or whatever this was...or whatever he was talking to.

That hand is pretty nifty, though. He's going to have to find a way to get a better look at it.*

[0thingsonmymind]

doyou already have supplies?

*Cause he needs some, you see.*

[circumsutus]

If you're severely injured, I doubt I'll be able to get to you in time to help. We don't exactly have an ambulance service here.

What supplies are you looking for?

text

[0thingsonmymind]

pills

[fishious]

Neither of those things is the point! And I'm not going to e-scale-ate to your level of puns, either. [more obnoxious winking. she should give it a rest. he just said he got it, and you can't escalate to something you think is below you.]

I'm glad I'm not the only one who noticed we can't do things anymore. It makes me so mad I could throw a bunch of spears at it, but that's kind of the problem.

[circumsutus]

Pills are a method of delivering medication.

[Based on the way this person is texting, Stein's betting that @totheark is more interested in opioid painkillers than anything else.]

[0thingsonmymind]

yes, ineed that

*Nope. But he'll be completely non-helpful in figuring out what he needs anyway 8D*

[skelepuns]

hey, youre not too bad at this. though I think an o-fish-er of the law should stick to her day job and let the porpoise-ionals come up with the bad puns. you can't fin this fight.

[Yeah, he was having fun, and it was helping him take his mind off of the thing that he could FEEL creeping up behind him.]

y'know you don't need magic to make a spear, right? just find something sharp and put it on the end of a stick. i'm honestly about ready to find something sharp myself if this guy wants to keep messing with me.

[circumsutus]

[How helpful. Stein's going to keep prying, and maybe he'll puzzle out the right medication.]

All right. Do you need painkillers or something else?

[0thingsonmymind]

not painkillers, something else.
somethin gmore impo r t a n t

[circumsutus]

Something psychiatric?

[Stein's world doesn't have much in the way of psych meds, but they're the only other thing he could think of that would send someone into typo-filled begging.]

i am sorry he is so difficult

[0thingsonmymind]

*...Kind of?*

i NEED them to stop the coughing. the seizures. to keep my mind

*He'd be more useful if he had the slightest idea what they were called.*

[lancingintherain]

[sketchy vibes from this guy? Maaaybe just a few. But he's a doctor, and one who's familiar with non-humans enough to be qualified to treat them (or so he says), so those vibes are easy enough to overlook. Along with his weird hat that looks an awful lot like a bolt through his head.]

[how about that.]

Er. I'm not calling your credentials into question, doctor, but "non-humans" is a broad term. What sorts of nonhuman people are you an expert on?

[that shadow catches her eye, but it could just be a shadow. She's watching that spot now though.]

difficult makes the best threads

[circumsutus]

I haven't found any anti-psychotics, or anything to get rid of seizures. Are these pills the only thing that stops your cough?

[0thingsonmymind]

yes i need them.

*This guy either doesn't have any or is holding out, though. Hn.*

where didyou GET supplies?

*Cause maybe he can go look himself.*

video

[circumsutus]

Mostly sorts that don't appear to be here. [Shrug. His world appears to have some very unique races that aren't represented in the current population.]

[The shadow is either interested in the answer or trying to sneak closer, because it sort of leans in a bit.]

I've done quite a bit of research on animals, [read: he dissects everything he comes across] in addition to humanoid non-humans. What sort are you?
