[In the days leading up to the month of May, Remy has noticed all the goings on involving Memoria, and he has to say, he likes the idea of it enough to put something together. He's smiling when the video initializes.]

Bonjour, mes amis. Every month 'round here's a holiday, eh? Well, this one's lookin' to be a somber one, non. I ain't gonna tell nobody not to mourn what they've lost, but from what the local's been tellin' me, it's about what you've got too, non? I know lot of us ain't met yet, but this weekend, how 'bout we change that? Quarantine's got a nice, big park and I know I ain't the only one around here who likes to cook for his friends. Who's up for bringin' some grub, or some drinks, maybe a Frisbee or a baseball to the park this Saturday and just enjoyin' this place ain't on the edge of Apocalypse all the time?

[He smiles a very smile.]

The name's Remy, by the way. Nice ta meetcha, if I haven't.

(OOC: I'll most a mingle log for this potluck on Saturday! If you're looking to take part in the nanite plot and need a way to get infected? Go for it! Or, you know, just tag around and have good foods :D)

That sounds like fun.

[the mention of food always gets minsu's attention, but there was something else too this time.]

Where are you from?

I'm hopin' so, mon ami.

[He smiles.]

N'awlins, Louisiana. USA. If dat ain't familiar, we just go with "Earth".

Sort of! I knew someone who talked about going there, because it was magical. He said that I'd like the food.

I looked it up. I wanted to wrestle an alligator.

[because of course he would.]

[And Remy's just going to be grinning now, because whoever told him New Orleans had amazing food sure wasn't lying.]

Sho' nuff, homme! I ain't ever had better food than what ya get back home! Yo' friend's got good tastes.

[And he laughs.]

Well, bayou country ain't got gators like the ones that crawled outta the river here, mon ami, but they still ain' wise ta wrestle with. Trust me. Been on the wrong end of one of 'em more than once. Knew a man who used 'em ta protect his property.

Is any of that going to be at the thing?

[good food is minsu's favorite food...it's a close second to 'a lot' of food.]

Did you win? Do you still have all your fingers and toes and everything?

[See, that's what Remy likes to hear.]

Sho' nuff. Ain't much of a potluck without a lot a' food, non?

[He chuckles.]

When yo' playin' with gators, you gotta be quicker or yo' dead, mon ami. I still got all my parts.

Ah, knowing that is helpful. I've always been fast. It's part of how I've kept myself out of trouble.

[speaking of quick, remy has quickly moved up the ranks of the coolest guys here.]

[Man, wait until he finds out Remy's the Prince of Thieves and he's never been caught...and a superhero.]

It goes a long way ta just dat, homme. Got me curious, though. What trouble you runnin' from, eh?

Myself. Does that count?

We're all our own worst critics, mon ami. What makes you so much trouble, eh?

I used to do a lot of bad things...really bad. I don't anymore! I won't. But trying to make up for those things, and keeping people that I like from finding out about them, it's a lot.

[Because some things just need to be asked.]

What kinda things, mon ami?

Ah-

[minsu looks worried at the question, panicked.]

If I tell you, you won't like me either.

[that bothers him even more than being uninvited to the potluck. but that's just a chance that he has to take, because minsu can't - won't - outright lie.]

I'm not human - not yet anyway. I'm a gumiho.

[he waits to see if that word means anything because well, it would explain a lot.]

[Logan's actually told him about that legend...at least a variation of it.

But he's going to clarify first.]

...where are you from, eh?

[Because that really really changes the legend...]

Korea, originally. I called the mountains and forests there home for about a thousand years before the change.

After that, there was no home for a long time. Not until I came to the Texas swamps about a year ago.

[He's not as familiar with the Korean version of the legend, but he knows it's actually darker than most. He doesn't respond immediately, thinking on what exactly he's going to say.]

D'accord. So, how 'bout you just tell me how much of the legends are true, eh? It'll save us both a lot of headache, non?

[Remy's not one to judge on origins anyway, but Minshu seems to think he's done a lot of bad things.]

A lot, I imagine.

[a lot of people don't know the legends at all. those who do don't seem to know everything, but they get the important details down. gumiho are monsters.]

There's another legend, I don't know if you've heard of it. I hadn't until a little while ago. It says that if a gumiho can make it for a thousand days without giving in to their hunger, they can become human.

I'm almost there, if the days here are counting.

[He nods.]

Well, I hope they are, mon ami. [And he smiles, supportive.] How close is close?

[something in minsu relaxes, his smile returning again.]

Less than a year. Ah, it was going to be a good year too! I was going to travel, get married, everything!

Sounds like a plan, mon ami. I don't think the Quarantine's gotta stop you.
