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?

Those monsters move in the night, don't they? I'm not normally a night person, but if I hear something moving around, I'm going to think it's important.

...Were you thinkin' of doin' something about it?
lemonpop: Intimidating confidence. (lay your eyes far and wide)

[She frowns, but gives a confident nod.]

I'm glad you're not a Grimm after all, but if there were one, we'd all have to act. Besides, the people here have to deal with this all the time. We appeared out of nowhere, and we'll go back home and never have to deal wth this again. Don't we owe it to them?

...That was your first impression of me? How cruel!

[ He's teasing! ]

But, you're right. I just didn't expect to have some late night company - and with that being said, you sure you got enough rest, Miss?

[ That seems to be the only thing he's checking for. He supposes it wouldn't be bad to have some back up, after all! ]

lemonpop: Worried on the phone. (beyond the road where shall i go?)

I can manage it for a little while.

[She turns off the penlight, hooking it to her belt loop, and grabs her crystal-spiked morningstar. Because even this world has seen fit to enable her Aesthetic.]

As long as everyone knows their limits.

[ That looks pretty badass - at least he doesn't seem to need to worry about his partner in being able to leverage attacks. ]

Alright. Since it'll probably be a problem if we're out for too late...how's fighting those guys for about an hour or so sound?
lemonpop: Smiling. (running forward as i wonder)

[personal profile] lemonpop 2019-08-29 04:55 pm (UTC)(link)
That'll work. [Out the door she goes.] Did you find any nearby?

Not yet since I just started wandering off.

As soon as we get out of the village proper I'll imagine we'll find a bunch pretty easy.
