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!

[Finally, someone who appreciated a good pun! Aradia grins widely at Sans, her wings fluttering just a little from behind her.]

Well, I've always got time for a joke or two~

[Only she would appreciate that one, though.]

I'm Aradia, it's nice to meet you! Stuck here too, huh?
skelepuns: (free shrugs.)

[personal profile] skelepuns 2015-09-20 08:32 am (UTC)(link)
[Yeah he didn't get that joke, but he grinned at it anyway.]

sans. pleasure's all mine. yeah, got locked in earlier, but it's no big deal.

[Sans grabbed the arm of the plastic skeleton and inspected it closely, trying to figure out what the heck it was for.]

d'you know why humans would keep something like this around?

[personal profile] quartzmelody 2015-09-20 08:36 am (UTC)(link)
Heh, I mean, there's worse places to be stuck than inside, right?

[She lets out a small hum at his question though, tapping her chin with her finger while scrunching her expression thoughtfully.]

I would have guessed that it was a trophy of battle, but that isn't real, right?
skelepuns: (rootin' for ya.)

[personal profile] skelepuns 2015-09-20 08:41 am (UTC)(link)
at least this place has beds. anyplace with a bed is a place I can make myself at home.

[Sans flops the arm of the fake skeleton around, and it makes a silly sounding clatter.]

nah. it's plastic. you wouldn't be able to hang the body of a real skeleton anyway. you know that, right?
quartzmelody: (♈ 9205099)

[personal profile] quartzmelody 2015-09-20 08:44 am (UTC)(link)
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.

[personal profile] skelepuns 2015-09-20 02:12 pm (UTC)(link)
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.

[personal profile] quartzmelody 2015-09-22 06:06 am (UTC)(link)
[Aahh, he must be from a very different sort of world than hers, then! He seemed to not realize that was a thing that could happen though, so Aradia would have to enlighten him.]

Where I come from, there's a skeleton inside of every creature, and when they die, their flesh rots away to leave a skeleton behind. You're the first alive skeleton I've ever met!
skelepuns: (rootin' for ya.)

[personal profile] skelepuns 2015-09-22 06:08 am (UTC)(link)
... wow, are you serious? there's a skeleton inside of you right now? ... is it trying to get out? it's gotta be cramped in there.

[Seriously, that's the most messed up thing Sans has ever heard.]
quartzmelody: (♈ 9205039)

[personal profile] quartzmelody 2015-09-22 06:11 am (UTC)(link)
Right now.

[She's going to give you the creepiest grin, sorry Sans. It's on purpose to be funny this time, though.]
skelepuns: (that's hilarious.)

[personal profile] skelepuns 2015-09-22 06:15 am (UTC)(link)
[Sans is so used to creepy, particularly playful creepy, that it genuinely comes off as hilarious to him and he chuckles in response.]

heh heh. quit pulling my leg, it might come off.

[He winks.]

honestly, though, that does explain some weird stuff about humans, and their tendency to put skulls and bones on things without ever having seen a monster skeleton. never knew we skeletons were so morbid.
quartzmelody: (♈ 9205066)

[personal profile] quartzmelody 2015-09-22 06:18 am (UTC)(link)
I'm not a human, but close enough! We trolls put skulls and bones on stuff too; I'm not sure why it's a thing, but it is! Especially for gamblignants and their flags and stuff.

[Shrug!]

I don't find it very morbid though, I think it's really cool! Cute, even.
skelepuns: (wink.)

[personal profile] skelepuns 2015-09-22 06:21 am (UTC)(link)
i'll be honest with you, I really thought you were a monster... sometimes I forget there are other races in this place than just monsters and humans. sorry for assuming.

[He almost looks flattered by that, and scratches the back of his skull a bit bashfully.]

aw, thanks kid. my brother actually has a flag like that. he also thinks it's pretty cool, and he's got a pretty good gauge for coolness.

No problem! I know not as many people are used to the concept of there being lots of different species and universes and stuff. No offense taken at all.

[Aradia grins at him, reaching over to play a little with the arm of the fake skeleton.]

Was that the "Papyrus" you mentioned earlier? Your brother?

[who would've guessed skeletons could have siblings O:]

[personal profile] skelepuns 2015-09-25 06:53 am (UTC)(link)
it's still hard to wrap my head around, but I'm getting there.

[Sans takes a step back and looks at the plastic skeleton from head to toe. In the dark, it really did look like his brother, even if it was completely naked.]

yeah, papyrus is my cool bro. not sure why I thought this thing was him, pretty sure he's not even in this place. then again, what do I know? this place doesnt make a whole lot of sense.
quartzmelody: (♈ 9205099)

[personal profile] quartzmelody 2015-09-25 07:03 am (UTC)(link)
Considering it's pretty rare to run into other people, he very well could be here and you just haven't caught him on the network yet!

[Unbeknownst to Aradia, if Papyrus was here, they'd know.]

Otherwise, there's always the possibility of him coming in with new arrivals, however that works. I honestly can't even keep track of time around here half the time, and I'm usually made of the stuff!
skelepuns: (...)

[personal profile] skelepuns 2015-09-25 07:09 am (UTC)(link)
pretty sure I'd know it if he was here, but thanks for the sentiment.

[The taller skeleton is loud and and proud and terribly hard to miss, especially for a brother who specialized in keeping him out of trouble.]

'made of time'? sounds like youre like me. i tend to make time for just about anyone or anything whenever I get the chance.
quartzmelody: (♈ 9205068)

[personal profile] quartzmelody 2015-09-25 07:13 am (UTC)(link)
Well, maybe someday! Though, all things considered, maybe it'd be better if he didn't....

[Her expression scrunches thoughtfully for a second before going back to a casual smile.]

You got it! Though, that's only part of it; it's figurative and literal in meaning.

[winks!]
skelepuns: (always smiling.)

[personal profile] skelepuns 2015-09-25 07:18 am (UTC)(link)
don't think he'd do too well in this place, honestly. but I'd be lying if I said I didn't want to see his goofy grin.

[Sans looked at her curiously, almost looking like he wanted to reach out and touch her. His hands remained in his pockets, however.]

youre gonna have to explain that one, cause I don't quite get what you mean by that.
quartzmelody: (♈ 9205074)

[personal profile] quartzmelody 2015-09-25 07:24 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah, I getcha! I'd love it to see some of my friends, but I wouldn't want to inflict this on them, either.

[At the latter part, she gestures to her outfit and the cog on her shirt.]

I'm the Maid of Time! M-A-I-D maid, that is. My job was to watch out over our timeline back home and keep things from going haywire, and it's a harder job than it sounds! My friends really liked to get themselves into trouble whenever they could.

[Aradia laughs a little, hands resting against her hips.]
skelepuns: (that's hilarious.)

[personal profile] skelepuns 2015-09-26 04:57 pm (UTC)(link)
[Sans's eyes seemed to brighten a bit at her words, and he stared closely at the cog on her shirt.]

no kidding. youre a time traveler?

[There were a lot of mixed feelings bubbling inside of him, anywhere from great excitement to intense apprehension. He glanced off to the side, looking just a tad anxious.]

this is a longshot but... can you prove it?
quartzmelody: (♈ 9205090)

[personal profile] quartzmelody 2015-09-28 07:08 am (UTC)(link)
Yep, that's me! Resident time player.

[She notes the shift from a bright eyed expression to a hint of anxiety though, which sparks her curiosity -- she won't press on it for now, though.]

I wouldn't mind proving it to you, but none of my powers work here for some reason! Not even the one's I was born with... it's really weird. Even these wings are practically for show at the moment.

[They flutter from behind her, shedding a bit of sparkly red pixie dust, but do nothing to actually become airborne.]

I've heard that's the case for everyone with powers, though no one knows why at the moment -- I'd imagine whoever brought us here doesn't want us having one up on them, but I have no idea just how they were able to take them in the first place.
skelepuns: (free shrugs.)

[personal profile] skelepuns 2015-10-01 03:06 am (UTC)(link)
heh. yeah, I figured as much. oh well, didn't think there was much of a chance anyway.

[He just smiles and shrugs, though it's probably just a little bit obvious based on his tone that he sounds disappointed.]

studying time stuff is a hobby of mine. haven't really bothered with it in a while though, been brushing up on my stand-up comedy more recently.
