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?

Tch, I don't suppose you know anything about animals then, huh?

[He rubs the back of his neck, lips sticking out.]

If only Gon would be here... [Oh, right-] He's a kid I know, a best friend, and he's grown up running around mountains and stuff. I've never seen any other wild child.

You know. In a good way. [Usually.]

[betrayaladorned]

I'm afraid not. Plants are more my area of expertise, as someone who's done a great deal of gardening back home.

[She listens as Leorio talks about Gon, smiling a bit.]

It does sound like he'd be quite helpful to have around here.

[punchdoctor]

The real trick would be getting him to not just run off and get into trouble. Tch, that's all my friends when I think about it... [He reaches up, hand ruffling through his hair with violent exasperation.] Jeez! Jerks have no self preservation.

[Says the man who jumped onto an interdimensional world saving mission.]

Oh, right- I'm Leorio Paradinight, by the way. [He raises one lanky ass leg up to testingly kick the dummy again.] Med student.

[betrayaladorned]

I'm not sure if it's any consolation or not that you wouldn't be the only one having that problem.

[That just seems like a Phantom Thief thing, frankly.

... But yes, there is the matter of both of them being here, so, glass houses, stones, etc.]

It's wonderful to meet you. [She smiles gently.] My name's Haru Okumura.

[punchdoctor]

Oh, do yours jump off ships in the middle of the ocean during a raging storm too?

[Honesty, Gon and Killua and Kurapika have made their own individual bad choices to fill up a plate, but that one is at least the more light hearted bad decision out of all the bad decisions they've all made together and apart.]

[That Leorio has also made plenty of bad decisions of his own is something he will strategically not mention. Listen. It's not about him.]

[betrayaladorned]

... Nothing's quite happened like that, but... well, I wouldn't be surprised if some of my friends were the type.

[Not naming any names RYUJI]

[punchdoctor]

....Yeesh, you really do have it bad.

[Sounds honest enough to him, at any rate, and it would figure he's not the only guy in, what... all the universes to deal with a bunch of jackasses with no common sense.]

So, like, statistically speaking, we're probably going to get that type in this group, huh?

[spoilers it's leorio]

[betrayaladorned]

[Let's be honest, none of the Phantom Thieves have any place to talk either and that includes Haru]

It's more than likely...

[rip in fuck this group frankly]

[punchdoctor]

Think we can start a betting ring?

[A grin starts to spread across Leorio's face in a way that only makes him look ten times the grifter he already naturally looks like because of his shades.]

I'll put five thousand jenny on you if you do the same for me. We could rig it in our favor. Get rich while we're busy risking our lives.

[He's mostly joking.]
