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 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?

Your secret's safe with me, Haneoka-san.

[Onto the more pressing matter, though--Haru rolls out of the way of the attacking Grimm and turns towards Eimi with a nod in response to the question.]

Yes, I think so!

[Calling on her new abilities have gotten easier, even if she's still not quite used to them, which means it doesn't take long for vines to stretch out to trip up the Grimm, then begin coiling around its legs. More vines follow suit to immobilize the monster's other limbs, and even hold down its torso.]

There, that should do it!

[momingstar]

All right!

[Forward goes another throwing knife, and when that one hits, the two in the monster light up at the end. A circle starts inscribing itself in the path between them, and bright light burns the Grimm, starting to burst through the other side.]

That's what you get.

[betrayaladorned]

[Haru watches with a fascinated gleam in her eye as the light burns the Grimm, and she applauds after.]

That was amazing...!

[momingstar]

Oh, it wasn't much! You were doing fantastic! Have you found a lot of them tonight?

[betrayaladorned]

A few of them.

[She'll go and collect some of the Grimm bones left behind now.]

More than I'd like to see, admittedly, but they make for good practice...

[momingstar]

[sigh] They really are trouble, aren't they? I'm just glad to see you're okay. At this rate, it'll be better for everyone to double up at night.

[betrayaladorned]

That sounds like a good idea, if you ask me. I am... less accustomed to fighting on my own.

[Though, she can't help but think that's a bit obvious after the earlier display. Oops.]

[momingstar]

I'd think most people wouldn't be used to fighting at all. I'm certainly not! So you've got a bit of a leg up in one respect.

[betrayaladorned]

That's true enough. At least we'll be more or less used to it as time goes on, most likely.

[momingstar]

I do wish that weren't the case. But the people here deserve peaceful lives just as much as we do.
