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: 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?

kid, you don't 'get' to stay up all night. you gotta. falling asleep... ain't really an option for you, do you understand?

[Falling asleep would mean they'd lost.]

yeah, sure thing, if you think you got what it takes.

[despiteeverything]

Yeah... Okay.

[In all honesty they were pretty sure they did remember hearing something about how cold and getting sleepy was bad. Maybe back home, or since they got here. Which... probably meant how tired they were already wasn't a good thing.

For now though, jokes. Like the ones that Frisk had gotten used to hearing on a daily basis back home.]

Knock Kn-knock?

[skelepuns]

[Sans couldn't even remember how it worked, given he had to learn all of this stuff fresh since he didn't get hypothermia back before he was stuck into this place. But sleep... he did hear bad stories about freezing to death in your sleep, and he wasn't going to take the chance.]

heh, who's there?

[despiteeverything]

Ya.

[He's probably heard this one before, really.]

[skelepuns]

[Sans didn't even care, he'd take all of the bad jokes in the world if it meant keeping this kid around.

On top of which, it was still pretty charming.]

'ya' who?

[despiteeverything]

[They crack a smile, even as another shiver wracks their frame.]

You must be r-r-really happy to be here.

[skelepuns]

heh heh, well, ain't that the truth?

[The irony of that joke was not lost on him, of course.]

alright my go. knock-knock.

[despiteeverything]

[They'd thought it'd be better than any the snow and ice puns they'd remembered. Somehow those didn't seem to be in good taste at the moment.]

Wh-who's there?

[skelepuns]

sans.

[Keeping it real original, of course.]

[despiteeverything]

[Biting back the urge to say "I know that" with a small grin. Let's not ruin the joke now]

Sans who?

[skelepuns]

sans you're home, you mind letting me inside? it's pretty bone-chilling out here.

[despiteeverything]

[Hey that should be their line right about now. Frisk giggles softly anyways.

Makes them really wish they were in Hotland right now. Or hugging a Vulkin. it takes them a few moment's silence to remember that it's their turn now. Um...]

Th-this one's got t-t-two parts.

[This one was one of the ones Frisk could remember hearing when they were little, around the school yard. Frisk hadn't been terribly popular there but there were some jokes that everybody heard.]

H-how d'you catch a un-nique rabbit?

[skelepuns]

[Hey, irony could be a bit funny, and maybe making light of the situation would help them both forget how horrible the situation really was. That was how Sans usually approached these things...]

heh, a unique rabbit? you got me there, kid. how do you catch a unique rabbit?

[despiteeverything]

[And it is working! Frisk is having a harder time focusing on the cold. Unfortunately it's being helped a long in part by hypothermia - Frisk thinks their shivers are starting to get less bad, which gives the deception that they're in less trouble.

They just... gotta stay determined right? They'll get through this. They still do wish they could hug a Vulkin right now though.]

U-unique up on it!

[Pause for the imaginary rimshot.]

And h-how do you catch a tame one?
