Venerable Avinx felt a surge of energy as she reveled in the reaping of another soul. She felt as if she had dedicated yet another powerful life to the Superior Mother!

Ves: Oh, I am getting something... she says... please harvest my spiritual essence and turn me into a mech? Wow!
Ves became more impressed and fascinated by the existence of her spirituality. The Old Lady was a natural totem that had been formed under rare conditions.

Investigator: Old Lady, can you please point out, on this picture of a tree, where the bad man touched you?
"You may… approach. Please be mindful of your behavior. An energy shield will immediately appear if you make any improper movements."

What could Ves say to this? He shrugged and smiled in the most innocent manner that he could manage.

Like, for example, the bones of an expert pilot. Using the correct technique, obviously, and not simply strapping it on like a fool.
"It does to me. I have… a special affinity for organic materials and components." Ves replied. "While I am not a biomech designer, I have always wanted to incorporate more biological components in my classical mech designs. Any mech that I design with this bone material will probably possess a lot of extra advantages that cannot be easily substituted with other materials."

Just gotta make that Scrooge Mcduck design spirit and make them empower all the coins
The old man was right. Ves liked his new idea,but that didn't mean it was practical. He did not want to get stuck with minting coins every other day!

What use is a currency if it cannot scream into the void
He quickly picked up the smallest black coin. "Just look at this so-called millilark coin. It's a small black token that depicts the logo of the Larkinson Clan on one side and a number on the other side. The small flourishes are boring and uninspired. Yet what really gets to me is that these coins have no life! Can you imagine it? Our clan has pioneered living mechs and living products. Why the hell do we have to resort to boring coins that are no different from that of other states?"

The Ingvars must have been from Alabama originally
"That's it, sister! Give me more!"

The two of them were separate beings, but came closer to becoming one. As Casella continued to interface with her expert mech, she quickly felt at home in a way she never did with the Quint.

You could say that Joshua has... rubbed off... on her
"Ugh. Now I know how Joshua felt."
Sci-fi · Exlor
Have Joshua carry it, obviously
"Does that mean we have to resort to an artificial womb?"
Sci-fi · Exlor
It. Is. Time.
"Enough!" Ves boomed as he abruptly stood up! "You need a lesson in manners, girl!"

and through that park to an alley behind a Taco Bell.
They eventually exited the busy marketplace and moved over to a more quiet park.

Ketis and Joshua:
He held no such concerns towards Ketis. Her will was just as powerful if not more so she could easily hold her ground in his presence. She was also cute and pretty in an athletic way.

Much too expensive for a daily use item. It's the kind to lord over people and make them feel inferior for not also owning formerly sapient purses.
That pretty much shut her up. That damned bag was way too expensive for what it was worth in his opinion. His wife hadn't even been carrying it around every day!

He did get a spaceship, which he got a fair amount of use out of.
"Correct." Miss Monater confirmed. "We happen to enjoy an important advantage in this initiative. Patriarch Ves Larkinson might not think highly of the Friday Coalition, but of all of the coalition partners, his regard towards the Vermeer Group and the Carnegie Group should be the highest. We were the first to expose and introduce the Novice Mech Designer that he was back then to the world of true mech design. Without the opportunities we extended to him at the Leemar Institute of Technology, he would have never been able to step up his career at such an early stage. We hope that he still retains enough pleasant memories of that important time in youth to grant us extra allowances."
