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?

I wonder if we can at least take something back with us as payment. [He snorts a little bit under his breath as he reaches over to clean off her cheek.] A souvenir, at the very least! It would probably start up a whole bunch of excitement where I'm from, at least.

[pauldron]

[It's little more than a scratch, though she's been around healers long enough to know not to speak as he cleans the wound. It's only when he's pulled back that she shakes her head.]

The way these people are acting? We might be lucky to get away with our lives as payment.

[Not necessarily because the ones that brought them here are the threat, specifically, but because of what else is out there. Looking into the fire, she closes her eyes.]

Would that be enough of a souvenir for you?

[punchdoctor]

Absolutely not.

[At least she has a good amount of patience, even if there's not too much to patch up. Leorio might not be an official doctor yet, but he's still dealt with patching up plenty of people long before he ever took his Hunter Exam. Fussy patients are the worse.]

I mean, come on, what kind of organization is this?

[pauldron]

One desperate enough to take whoever they can get their hands on.

[She's seen their motley crew. Combatants, non-combatants, kids who have no training let alone a place in this field...it's a mess and there's so much at stake. Doesn't help that their cloaked "friend" seems to have up and vanished. Her fingers tap at her knee, eyes narrowing.]

We don't have the whole story. Don't trust them until we do.

[punchdoctor]

[Well, she's not wrong on that. 'Desperation' seems to be the name of the game here. Leorio knows what that looks like... especially in stark contrast to the Hunters Association, with him being on the ground floor helping to get the trip to the Dark Continent all prepared. No one had known what they would face, but they at least had the manpower and resources for something mostly prepared.]

[Which doesn't mean it's going to go smoothly, but at least he knows it's not a disaster from the outset]

[Satisfied with what little he can do for her, Leorio leans back with his face crumpling into a look of distaste.]

Is there any major power in any world that actually has its shit together? I'm really starting to wonder here.

[pauldron]

[Well there was the fal'Cie. For a while there, they had everything under control.

Control. Right. Lightning crosses her arms over her chest with a soft snort. For given value of shit together, the fal'Cie probably count. Not for much longer, though.]

That depends on what they're trying to do. [Her eyes flick to him. That cloaked idiot said something about saving all of reality, but...really? Who knows.] If they're trying to get us all killed, they're off to a good start.

[And if they're not, they're off to a really bad start.]
