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?
[ Miranda doesn't really need the encouragement but she'll take it where she gets it. Having someone here who doesn't hate her is still something of a novelty, especially given that Shepard knows her real name. ]
I admit I'm curious how they'd respond to something like the Cain.
[ Bonus: firing a small nuke at anything in this place would be incredibly satisfying. It's possible Miranda's fantasized about this before. ]
[Shepard laughs a little. She's rather fond of firing small nukes herself. The sound gets a little hitch in her breath when they go over a particularly tough bit of ground, Miranda's shoulder digging under her sternum, but it escapes and she can't help it. Anatomy.]
Or that Particle Beam we used in the Collectors' base... hell of a thing.
[We. Miranda was there. Some Miranda. Maybe it's a character flaw, but Shepard just doesn't manage to draw these kind of lines.]
[ Miranda doesn't apologize, but she does pause to readjust to something hopefully more comfortable.
She was at the collector base in her own universe, too, holding the biotic barrier against the collector swarms. She'd been there for almost everything. ]
Why not go all out? If we're dreaming, an orbital bombardment with the Thanix ought to take care of the problem.
[If only she could do a damn thing beyond mumble her thanks and keep on trying to be a comfortable weight. Is there such a thing as a comfortable burden? She ain't heavy, she's my...]
We'll get there someday. [Miranda probably would, and probably should, call her out on her ridiculous optimistic promises. But they did just talk about the suicide mission that no one died on, so.] Get those bastards, whoever they are, like we got everyone else.
[ The timeline is one of the more jarring differences between them. The last time Miranda had seen Shepard he was still clinging to that stubborn hope, too, but they'd suffered so many losses in the war. Miranda could barely remember the person she'd been in those first joyous hours following the suicide mission that wasn't.
Now she remembers the word that the Crucible wasn't firing and the wave of color in the sky that could have meant anything.
If Miranda's voice is weak when she answers, it's probably because of Shepard's weight and nothing else. ]
If you are Shepard, you'll figure something out. You always do. And I'll be cheerfully backing you up this time.
If you are Shepard. Well, she'd kind of walked right into that one. And it's doubly painful when Miranda says it while she is still carrying Shepard's dead weight across the frozen city, like she's willing to take this chance but it had damn well better be worth it...
Somehow between that and the weird fading note in Miranda's voice, Shepard quietly says the one thing she probably shouldn't.]
You think there's a limit on the amount of times someone can pull these kind of things off?

It's not like you to doubt.
[ There's something accusatory there, buried deep. ]
But who knows. Maybe your counter reset when the rest of you did.
