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?

[Training]
This is beneath my talents.

[So says the tall, darkly dressed woman who's watching the rest of the group slaughter some helpless training dummies. And, to Maleficent, this was beneath what she was normally accustomed to. Training with a bunch of inexperienced children, while she couldn't call upon her incredible array of sorcery? Hmph. Just another thing she despised about coming to this world.]

And I suppose the enemies we are to face will simply stand and let themselves be done away with.

[She smiled and leaned gently on a long staff - not the one she had from home, but something new. A weapon of sorts, the only thing she liked so far.]

They will surely meet their doom.

[Grimm... hunting?]
[Fighting up close and personal was just not Maleficent's style. She preferred dealing with things magically, from a safe distance. But the Grimm offered little of that, a shame, really.]

Now, listen at once, vermin. [She said the last word with vile and slammed the end of her staff down before the Beowolf currently stalking her. It was either gauging her up, or genuinely interested in this.] As the commander of Darkness I order you to obey me!

[It looks perplexed, as much as a Grimm could be. Which is to say, it looks like it's winding up for an attack.]

[R&R]
[Shock of all shocks, Maleficent isn't a people person. So you're not going to find her sitting at the campfire.

But a little further away, through the bushes and away from the firelight, you'll catch a dark and green shape of a woman, standing in a clearing, looking up at... the moon, it seems.

Hunting!

[The Grimm aren't that different from the monsters that Lightning is more accustomed to dealing with. Claws and fangs and getting out of the way is the same no matter what you're dealing with, but just standing there and yelling at the things?

That seems like a recipe for disaster. Someone's going to get themselves killed!]


What are you doing?! Fight it!

[Lightning all but bursts out of the trees, both the woman herself and her Semblance; crimson red bolts of lightning slam into the beast's side as she darts around it, drawing its attention away from Maleficent for the moment. It roars, turns on the source of its pain, and its rear is left open. Now would be a good time to do something, lady!]
