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!

[Haurchefant turns and eyes Alister, then the area he's staked a claim to. No, no... Sleeping at the bottom of those, or on top of them, would be dangerous. Not to mention terribly uncomfortable.

He steps up to Alister and looms over him slightly, leaning a bit into his personal space. Hello, fuzzy friend! Hello!]


No, no, that won't do.

We can find you a better spot, surely!

[He's already got his backpack swung neatly atop of the bookshelves and is about to clamber up after it when Haurchefant invades. There's the urge to lean back (a holdover from living in exile, not to mention having assassins sent after him) but it's collared and suppressed before it can show beyond the drawing together of his eyebrows and a flicking of his tail. Show no weakness, harbor no doubts.]

Better than a safe perch with a bird's eye view? Enlighten me.

Bird's eye view, perhaps, but hardly safe!

[He gestures up towards the shelves.]

This place is old and in poor shape, my friend. Beneath your weight those shelves could topple at a moment's notice!

Then what? You'd be hurt!

[And something, somewhere, might hear it. Haurchefant doesn't say this out loud, at least not yet. Maybe there isn't anything here but them. No sense in causing panic over an uncertainty.]

[A slow eyebrow raise, gaze shifting up to where his backpack is. In every situation, he considers the reward more than the risk, and so genuinely hadn't paid much thought to such a possibility.

But eh, screw it.]


You worry too much. It's sturdy enough.

[That decided (rude, Alister, rude!!) he's turning to walk further into the hospital.]

C'mon. There should be something in here worth seeing.

[Haurchefant looks up at the backpack and sighs a defeated sigh before turning and jogging after Alister.]

That there might be something to see I haven't a doubt. The question remains, however, as to whether or not we might wish for it to see us.

[He lifts a finger to his lips.]

Best we move with caution, my friend.

[]

Logical, but irrelevant. We're better off finding it first, if there's anything to find at all.

[Nodding, though, and shifting his weight so as it produce hardly any sound when he walks. He's a felid, so it comes naturally enough.

He's also aggressively taking point.]
