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?

[pauldron]

[It doesn't get far before Lightning's back on it, hounding from the other side with quick flashes of her blade. It roars, turns with flashing claws and she's--

She's outta there, backflipping up and over the attack, cape streaming in her wake. Another handful of crimson bolts fly from her free hand as she sticks her landing, hitting the Grimm in the face, but she has to quickly leap out of the way again as it takes another swing at her.

Stubborn thing, this one! At least it hasn't hit them yet.]

[inflictwounds]

[He's thankful they haven't been hit yet - it wouldn't do to die here and now - and he's quick to jump back in for another attack.

He's not sure how many more he can get in, having to quickly duck back out of the Grimm's range, but he's confident that they're going to take it out quickly. There's only one of it, after all, and there's two of them.]

[pauldron]

[They outnumber it and it's weakening. If they can't take out one weakened Grimm, they've got bigger problems.

Thankfully, however, they don't. Not yet, anyway; when the Grimm turns on Heike to try and slice him to ribbons, Lightning seizes her chance and leaps into the air, twisting around mid-flight to get her blade into position. As gravity takes hold once more, she comes down with a shout, driving her blade point first into the Grimm's skull. Very little can survive this move, and it's no Behemoth King. With one final roar, it falls and does not rise again.

Still perched on its head, Lightning snorts. One down, however many more to go. She turns her head.]

You good?

[inflictwounds]

[Hieke raises a hand - he didn't get hit, and if he's tired, he doesn't show it.]

That was impressive.

[He brushes his hair away from his face.]

And I'm good. It couldn't hit me.

[pauldron]

[If he thinks that was impressive, he should have seen them down the Oretoise in Eden. Pulling her blade from the Grimm's head, Lightning leaps back to level ground. Really, this was nothing.]

Good. [She turns her head to the trees, not bothering to sheathe her blade. If he's unharmed, and she's unharmed, there's no sense in turning back to town. Not yet.] There'll be more where this one came from. Be ready for the next fight.
