Hi! I'm just asking what kind of machines the Capitol would legally allow Carlos to get his hands on for tinkering purposes. Arena technology is off-limits, I imagine, but are a force-field generator or holographic projector like they have in the training room possibilities?

[gamemakers]

The safest answer would be the kinda things he could get at a Panem version of Best Buy. Computers, food replicators, blenders etc. Things a consumer would get ahold of. If he started buying a lot the Capitol might turn a wary eye on him.

If you wanna use anything specific (like IDK a geiger counter) messages me and I'll let you know. Since he makes science "things" idk if you need anything particular. Sarah is making a science "thing" for her carlos costume, inspired by you btw.

oh man I'd love to see it, send pictures along when it's done 8D

He'd ask the Capitol for more advanced technology, try to get it through legal channels -- so they'd deny his request for a force-field generator?

He could get a hold of a low level commercially available one, that any citizen could purchase. Think of it like those electric dog fences you can buy, compared to a real electrified fence. Or a personal use one kinda thing.

Got it, cool! It's okay with me if the Capitol gets suspicious of Carlos -- Carlos is participating in Ian C's plot and that will get him on a government watch list for sure.

Also, since I apped Stephen, the Reagan family got fleshed out a bit more, and I wanted to run the details past you guys to make sure they were setting-appropriate and okay.

The way I imagine it is, Marcus Reagan distinguished himself 75 years ago in the District rebellion by pacifying a particularly difficult section of a district. The pacification was brutal and involved great loss of District life, and Marcus was rewarded with a political position. His son, Antonius, married a brilliant and politically-savvy woman named Livia, and together they solidified the Reagans' position as people of influence. Marcus died peacefully of old age. Livia's son, Julius, is Stephen's father, who (as I'm pretty sure I mentioned in the app) died of poisoning, and Portia, Stephen's mother, poisoned that person right back.

Would Cyrus be allowed to hold a political position similar to a member of the President's cabinet? Not the most powerful person in Panem, but among the top 20, thanks to being born into a position of privilege and being ambitious as hell. If not, and he needs to be less powerful, I'm flexible -- as long as he's influential and high up enough where dirty hands are the norm, I'm happy.

All sounds good!
