Welcome to the Test Drive Meme for Pollere! Reserves will open on Saturday, August 24th at 12PM EST. As a reminder, this is a capped game at 20 players. You must be on Mod Coco’s timeline to play in this game. Below are some prompts to help you get a general feel for the game and its setting, but feel free to come up with whatever you’d like!

Please be sure to refer to the FAQ for setting guidelines and drop any questions you may have there, or contact one of the mods at [plurk.com profile] pollere/PM!

Training
You’ve been given a brand new power, known in this world as a Semblance. You’ve been briefed on what a Semblance is: A physical manifestation of your abilities, mixed with one of your personality traits. Maybe you see the correlation, maybe you don’t. Either way, there are training dummies set up for you to practice on. Burn them down, cut them in half -- they’ll magically put themselves back together and restore themselves back to normal after you’ve given things a go. Of course, there’s always the option to ask one of your fellow Remnants to spar with you, too.

Grimm Hunting
It’s nighttime and the Grimm are awake and active, prowling around either individually or in packs. They’re prowling around the village and the only thing keeping them from pouncing on you and the others are the fireposts set up along the perimeter. Still, you can hear them growling in the distance. It’s unsettling. Maybe you’re content to spend the rest of the night like this...or maybe you want to do something about it.

The choice is yours, Remnant.

Should you choose to hunt some Grimm, whether it be for Grimm bones or so you can sleep a little easier tonight, you'll find that they're relentless in their attacks, swiping and clawing and biting at you with everything they've got. Whether there's one of them or several, it might be unwise to fight them alone.

R&R
There’s a campfire set up for The Remnants, and you’re all settled in for the night, even with Grimm lurking in the background. The fire, at least, wards them away, keeping them at a distance despite their prowling around. Maybe now is a good time to get to know your fellow teammates. How about a campfire story? Or Truth or Dare? Not sure how well your fellow Remnants will take the latter, but hey, it might be worth a go!

Exploration
You venture outside of the small town you’re in after you spot a small cave in the distance. It’s easy to miss, what with the vines hanging over the entrance and evergreen moss growing on the walls. Rumor has it that there’s some sort of treasure inside, and whether it’s greed or curiosity or both, you’re drawn to it. You want to see what has yet to be discovered. It’s a good thing you have a buddy with you to explore, because who knows what lurks inside? Dust? Gold? Or...another Grimm?

[Haru returns the smile, looking a bit sheepish.]

I suppose we didn't get time to adjust because time's a concern... [That's her best guess, at least. She nods and gets to work.] Hopefully, we'll be able to get more medical supplies somewhere... but, for now, working with what we've got.

[Trading for them seems like it'd be the likeliest thing to her at this point. If it happens at all.]

... You're a doctor, right?

The job of healers everywhere.

[It's good fortune to have a place one can call home or study, where they can have all the necessary ingredients for medicine or tools for healing... But sometimes things happen when you don't expect them.]

[As she continues to sort out as even an amount for every bag, Lisa is glad that at least they can prepare this much, here. The future might not be so forgiving.]

[At the girl's question, she nods along with her smile.]


Yes, that's right. My name is Doctor Lisa Tepes, although I afraid I'm more used to quiet little village problems such as the cold of an old woman.

[The work's simple enough and Haru's happy to give her hands something productive to do.]

Even so, I have to admit, it's reassuring to have you along. I'd be a little more worried about the entire group otherwise... [She pauses, then realizes she should probably introduce herself.] My name is Haru Okumura, by the way. It's wonderful to meet you.

I suppose it must be why I was approached in the first place. There is no army that doesn't require another to support it in one way or another, and a healer is even more important in desperate situations such as these.

Still, even if I wasn't a doctor, I would have come anyway. [She sets another bag to the small pile that she is steadily amassing.] In situations like this, someone has to step up to help their fellow man, mustn't they?

Or, well. I suppose whatever counts here. There's quite a variety, it seems.

I agree wholeheartedly.

[She smiles as she continues sorting the bandages.]

It's rather heartening to see how many different sorts of people have stepped up to help, if you ask me.

That's the nature of people, I think. There are a lot in the world, probably every world, who seem to think the worst of others. That they'll be selfish or cruel over any other option, not getting involved in things that don't concern them.

Yet we have a tendency to remember the things which hurt us more than the things which do good, sometimes. so it can be easy to get into such dark thinking but... Well.

People are capable of so much good. [Putting aside some canteens with water in them, she nods.] Just a few more now.
