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!

[ Is... it not really there?

Tim blinks, swallows, and rubs at the back of his neck nervously. Okay. Hallucinating. That's just awesome.
]

It - sorry, I, uh. Thought I saw something. A little low on sleep, so.

I meant to say that, uh--

[ It's still there why can he still see it ]

-- they won't be in demand unless the, uh, weather clears up.

[Oooookay, so the guy's crazy. That's fine, he can handle crazy. A lot of his friends are one flavour of crazy or another.]

Riiiiight. But, y'know, it never hurts to have extra layers, right? Even if it's... not exactly the thickest of layers.

[The thing behind him creeps closer. It sure is looking real for a hallucination!]
maskintape: (solar warming is what we need)

[personal profile] maskintape 2015-09-17 06:25 pm (UTC)(link)
I, uh, I guess.

[ It's obvious that he isn't really listening. Too busy staring at thAT FUCKING THING OH GOD ]

Can - can you humour me a second? Throw something over your shoulder, I. I can see something moving.

[ What a delicate and understated way of putting it. Because that's what this situation calls for. JFC ]
dahlefficiency: (double down browntown)

[He glances over his shoulder - yup, still nothing there. But hey, whatever.

This is one of those times he wishes he had some grenades. It would be a lot cooler to throw something explosive over his shoulder instead of a coffee cup.

The cup passes through the shadow and shatters on the floor. VICTORY.
]

Doesn't sound like it hit anything. You sure you're not just seeing things?

[It could be a stalker or some other kind of critter that can turn invisible, but that doesn't seem incredibly likely at the moment.]
maskintape: (that isn't due to happen until...)

[personal profile] maskintape 2015-09-19 04:43 pm (UTC)(link)
Stuff - it goes right through them. Shadow things, I mean. That was. A dumb idea. Really stupid.

[ when are times that axton wishes he DOESN'T have grenades, aave

MEANING Tim gets to his feet, picking up the tablet and taking it with him. HE HAS ANOTHER IDEA. YEE.
]

Gonna try one last thing before we assume I'm nuts, okay? Let me just. Bathroom.
dahlefficiency: (bluegrass)

[personal profile] dahlefficiency 2015-09-19 05:06 pm (UTC)(link)
[okay fine maybe he DOES wish he had grenades at all times what's wrong with that]

Go right ahead, pal.

[wait bathroom why is he going to the bathroom]

...Is this gonna get weird, though? Like, are you gonna film yourself taking a shit or something?
maskintape: (okay so today)

[personal profile] maskintape 2015-09-19 05:09 pm (UTC)(link)
[ Tim stops in his tracks and gives the tablet one of his Judging Looks. ]

...yes. Yes, that's exactly what I'm doing.

[ Except no. He's heading for the mirror and holding his tablet up to it so Axton can see what he sees on the feed. Presumably.

GENIUS!!
