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!

[Now that's better. Beckett nods slightly in acknowledgement at Josh's pulling himself together, and passes the other man the only-somewhat-rusted bonesaw. He's not terribly thrilled himself at having a roommate for the night - he already has a hard enough time getting to sleep in these hours without someone else puttering around him, someone he doesn't trust on first sight anymore than he does, well, anyone. But there have been infinitely worse situations, and anyway, why complain when you can spend your time productively sniffing around?

He picks a couple of small scalpels for himself, the closest thing in the drawer of surgical tools to the daggers he favours when forced to resort to melee weapons. They go up his sleeves, and he glances back to see how Josh is holding the bonesaw, namely, whether he has any idea how to hold it to turn the tool into a weapon.]


You'll have to explain that one, I'm afraid. I do hope it isn't some horror film reference; that would be embarrassing. [Should he let Josh know that he is, in fact, stuck overnight in an abandoned hospital with an old vampire who hasn't fed in days? Probably not.]

[He gestures at the operating theatre's beds instead.] We could move these to block the door, but I would prefer to have an exit open. And a bed is a terrible thing to waste in these circumstances.

Works for me!

[Fake-casually drawls "Thaaaank you" at the saw. Pauses halfway turned toward a wall, turning it over...

Better they've got it than anything else, certainly.

Annnd as far as Josh is concerned, better he's got it than a condescending for-all-intents-and-purposes stranger; the lack of trust goes both ways. But it looks like they're also on the same page with regards to how they ought to be doing this.

Josh is still examining the saw, with thoughtfully-narrowed eyes; not really "rehearsing" with it. Also still not exactly paying Beckett full focus. On the horror movie thing, he gives a lazy repartee:]


I ain't ashaaamed, yo.

[Further demonstrated by the use of "yo", one supposes.

And he could absolutely explain that one, but. Business potentially pertaining to survival first.]


Guess so.

Would be pretty sad, though, man, if those were the only damn beds in the place, but -- the exit? I agree with.

Not so much worried about anything breaking in, anyway.

[Not that couldn't do it with or without a barricade, at least.

Nnnope, it's what could already be crawling around here that seems more immediately worth minding.]

[Alas, condescending is Beckett's default. He is not terribly troubled, himself, with letting Josh have the bigger weapon; even without his normal abilities, he knows his own skill, and counts himself a reasonably good judge of people. And right now he judges that Josh, like him, is mostly looking to survive the night without running into any of the dozen things one would expect to run into in a deserted hospital.

He may be slightly biased, however, due to mild contempt for horror movie fans.]


While it would certainly be fun to be rescued by a buxomy blonde with an axe - or is it the brunette who is supposed to survive? I can never remember.

[The sarcasm is abundantly clear. As he speaks he goes about the next order of business, which is to pass carefully along the walls of the operating theatre, looking for anything that might betray another way in or out. This may have started out as an ordinary hospital, but one can never be too careful, and old habits die hard.]

Either way, I wouldn't gamble on it. Would you kindly see if there are any other sharp objects that we might want to immobilize before they fly at us of their own mysterious will?
