[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)

[ Jason didn't often do network posts, but a video filtered by @givesyouhell was sent to those he needed to see it. The video opens first off to the home in the background.

Only then does Jason turn so he can hold his phone up basically selfie mode with the manor behind him.]


Lil D, it looks like your dad sent a gift. I dont think it works that way but, I filled out the paperwork with the agent and we have the place to ourselves. And I mean that to everyone who can see this.

Jon, I have an idea by the way so I want to talk to you when I pick you up after school.

Cass and Blondie, your both in to. If you want. Wally and Roy, if you want there is room.

So, whose coming over?

[Alex actually looks awake and happy and downright cheerful today. Someone should probably be afraid or take the coffee away. But she's got a new project that she can throw her work into, and nothing tends to energize Alex like a new project or a new lead.]

Hey guys, I'm Alex Reagan. Today I want to talk to you about Pokemon Go. I know it's probably not as sobering as it should be with the holiday going on, but I wanted to get working on it sooner rather than later!

[Alex kind of went slightly off the rails for a little while, but she's back on them which is why this has taken so long.]

So back on my version of Earth, and other versions to apparently, there's this game called Pokemon Go. It's played using a cellphone and GPS and allows you to go out and collect computer generated pokemon from random places, and you can then train them and battle against other players with them. I know we have actual pokemon here, but these don't require you know, actually catching them and caring for them and stuff. [Alex thinks it's cruel because she doesn't know any better!] Back home, a lot of people do it as a family activity, or just as physical fitness because you actually need to go out and go to the places where they are.

When I was talking with someone, it struck me that this could be a good idea for here. It's kind of a low-stakes just having fun being out and doing something sort of thing. When I was talking with Tony Stark, who reversed engineered the app and is my hero for doing so, but it's not as simple as just having the program. And that's where you guys come in.

[Alex is grinning a bit, and she's got her best convincing face on. It's a good convincing face.]

So, in order to make the game go, we need to have a good virtual map of Riverview Quarantine and the places within the settlement that we shouldn't have people be going, unless you know, they're a trained person or know what they're doing. Where this app can be helpful, not only as a community based effort, or something we can do together, is that it's something we can take the info from and use it to show newbies where not go to and everything like that. Simple, right?

Now, I'm a runner, and I'm out there putting in my three miles or so every day, and I see other folks who run, walk, just go exploring, do perimeter sweeps with the guard and that sort of thing. You guys can help with the rending, all you need to do is go about your daily lives and just click the app open when you come where we have a blank spot in the map. I definitely want people to be safe as possible when doing this, so know your own limits.

[Alex takes out her own device and shows the areas that she's filled in just by doing normal stuff.]

It's really that simple and that easy, and it honestly can be that fun the more people we get to play it and work on it! Thanks!
