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: IT WON'T BE LONG NOW... Well, you made a mistake. You spent too long searching around, or you ran outside near the end of the day for just one more thing, and now you've been locked out. You can search around all you want, but the best shelter you can hope for is pressing against the side of a sealed up building. You do still have your tablet, though. Maybe someone on the network can give you some advice, or at least some comfort while you wait for hypothermia to set in.
TWO: CABIN FEVER Maybe you didn't want that mistake of getting caught outside to happen again, but now you've ended up staying too long in one location, and cabin fever has set in. Maybe you're taking to the network to try and ignore the hallucinations. Maybe you want to tell everyone that you've figured out they're all in on your kidnapping. Maybe you ended up wandering off and now you'd really like to know if anyone can check back in the place you were at for your pants.
Action Prompts
THREE: AN UNEXPECTED MEETING You're going about your business searching what seems like it might be an especially promising house--it's fully intact and there's even a working fireplace with some wood! It looks like someone else has the same idea, though, and you've run into them in the middle of your search. Do you share the potential wealth or try to kick them out? On the other hand, maybe you know who this is, or maybe you're just glad to actually see another person for the first time in ages.
FOUR: GOOD MORGUE-NING You've just woken up in a morgue after dying in one unfortunate way or another. You have no idea where you are beyond that, but your tablet is insisting you can't stay here, so you should probably get out of here pretty quickly. Of course, bringing people back from the dead isn't a perfect science, so you're missing something important to you. Maybe you've lost your voice, maybe you can't remember where you're from, maybe you can't remember where you are right now. It looks like someone else is nearby, though. Maybe they can help you out?
No, I suppose not. But then who or what isn't a little crazy, on Gaia?
[Even the seemingly most stable people she knows have their foibles, which she supposes is either product of Shinra or testament to the kinds of people they employ. Or both.
The rest earns a soft laugh that's in something like agreement all the same.]
There are benefits to a uniform. Still, you're not allowed to entirely get rid of the rugged look until I've seen it for myself. Maybe you suit a bit of stubble.
[Granted he probably has a bit more than "a bit" but that's not about to deter her.]
[From the dry amusement in Kunsel's voice, Cissnei can probably guess that Kunsel chose those particular words deliberately. It's a pun Zack's abused before, and Kunsel absolutely won't regret it if it brings the SOLDIER First to Cissnei's mind. If anyone's a case study for being a little crazy, Zack's definitely on that list.]
You know I could just as easily take a picture and send it to you.
[Or he could turn the video on this thing on, but he's always been a little paranoid about that. He doesn't know people's motives here (the kidnappers or the others kidnapped with him) and doesn't want to give them a face to paint a target on if he can help it. Especially not with the mako-glow that's still in his eyes.]
[He can't see her rolling her eyes at his obvious pun; even for Zack being something of a touchy subject for her she does remember him making that very same joke more times than she cares to count and she can only imagine that Kunsel heard it far more frequently for being in the same department.
But she won't focus on that, instead latching onto the mention of sending the picture. Even so, there's a trace of amusement lingering in her tone that isn't just for her teasing him now.]
You could. But that wouldn't be the same. Besides, that's just one more reason to keep hoping our paths cross sometime.
[Because for all she tries to keep her spirits up, even she gets lonely without seeing a familiar face in person for long stretches of time.]
((ooc: Just a quick heads-up, I'll be away this weekend but am planning on picking this up/getting a reserve in once I get back, just so you don't think I've vanished!))
[It's tempting, really tempting, to crack a joke about whether or not he should worry about a Turk trying to find him, but that? That's cutting it a little too close to home with Zack and Cloud asleep in the next room. He knows that the circumstances are different here, that any orders that might or might not be on the plate back home are void until they actually get back there, that survival is more important right now, but sometimes it's just better not to poke a spot that might still be sore.
But that's okay. There's other ways to keep this in the vein of lame humor.]
First you want to see me and see how hot I am. Then you want our paths to meet. Is that an offer for a moonlit walk together with me sometime?
[No, he's not serious, but Cissnei's more than welcome to shoot him down for that right now.]
((ooc: Got it. Thanks for the heads up! Ah, I'm really excited and looking forward to Cissnei joining the game!))
[She could shoot him down, but she can't help but think there's something in the way he jokes about her finding him that reflects an entirely valid concern, even as she has no reason to hurt anyone right now and certainly not friendly faces from home.
Other departments don't know about the order Tseng gave that fateful day. It would have been far too risky if they had. But that's not to say there isn't a part of Cissnei that regrets that having to be so, now.
Humour it is, then, as the buffer they both need because things are unpleasant enough out here without making things worse.]
Might be. Guess that all depends on how you play your cards in the meantime, hmm?
[There's probably a cautionary tale out there somewhere about playing cards with a Turk, but this is just friendly banter. Where's the danger in that?]
Great. Now I just have to figure out how to go outside at night without it killing us, and hope we can see the moon.
[But details. Details he doesn't know might hit particularly close to home with Cissnei right now. Later, if her name shows up on the obituary list, Kunsel will realize just how close she played her cards to her chest.
Then he'll really understand that cautionary tale.]
Or maybe we find a place with a good view of the moon and take our walk there.
[She's not cruel enough to point out that she could show him right now, knows there's no point in telling him when there's nothing he could do anyway. His company, distant as it is, certainly helps but she still knows, ultimately, there's only so much it can do.
The rest will have to come from her, for as long as she can manage it. If that means skirting certain truths, so be it.]
I'm sure we will, unless you're that good at covering your tracks.
[Now she has more of a reason to seek him out, she can't imagine that there won't be some sign somewhere of a path he's been on and from there, all she needs to do is follow the trail until she finds him.
Not unless I find a spare suit that's too big for me.
[She's joking, of course; she's not sure it even matters which department they belonged to while they're here but the semblance of normality is reassuring.
Even if she can feel herself waning. She still doesn't want to worry him but she knows she can't hide it forever.]
Hey, Kunsel? I know it's a lot to ask but would you stay on the line with me, even if I get quiet?
I'll have to keep that in mind. Warn Zack there's a chance I might get drafted.
[The normality is honestly something they both need. It's things like this that help them cope with everything that's thrown at them here.
But he's not expecting a request like that. It makes him pause, lifting an eyebrow she can't see. What prompted that...?
She wouldn't ask something like that without a reason, though. Maybe not one he can see, but he knows her well enough that it's there. And if she wants him to know?

Who says I'm trying to cover my tracks?
[Who needs to, given how good a job at that the daily snowfall is doing?]
Who says I won't find your tracks first?
no subject
[She's trained at covering her tracks and she's small, which she will always work to her advantage whenever and however she can.]
no subject
[All those vague tips they get about monsters in the wastes. A guy could be out there for weeks if he didn't know how to track.
Of course, there's a difference between tracking a monster and tracking a Turk.]
If I find you, you're not going to try to recruit me, are you?

Sure. I'm not going anywhere tonight.
