“You too, Ms Lavrenti. I put some payment near your hall in another of these bags.”

“Understood.”

She put the bearings away, somewhat picking up on what she meant.

“In that case, I’ll just head to bed. I probably need it.”

“It’s an Orb. A steel ball bearing, but an orb nonetheless.”

She seemed pleased with herself about the trade.

She pulls out a ball bearing and offers it, a microphone would always be a nice inclusion in a mech somewhere

“Would this suffice?”

“…You use Orbs as currency here?”

She’s looking at some steel ball bearings like she’s got a million dollars

Both, a bit of both

That’s why he’s getting lifted like a sack of potatoes

“…hey you just spoke.”

She’s gonna guess that’s not how you enjoy this stuff, and drops what remainder she has. Where did she even get this from?!

She’s EATING IT OH GOD!

“…This tastes terrible.”

“You guys have a herb based holiday here? It’s such a strange thing to have…”

Oh god she doesn’t know what weed is.

“Sorry for the disappearance, these nutrient pills are fucked up.”

They are melatonin.

((One of my accounts is the in FEHverse. Join us. A field of lavender, lilac, and green hair awaits

Theres a look in her eye like she’s having Vietnam Flashbacks. Smelling the burning bodies splat against the side of a mech like gnats into a fly trap, clawing at the plating

“Luckily for you, it’s easy to reverse symptoms, and they actively avoid fires to stop the fungus from overheating.”

If you are male, it actively will change your biology with airborne, waterborne, and bloodborne spores, growing physical ribbons and matching your biology closer to what the user perceives as a magical girl.

It sucks to fight when someone’s only view of it is their god…” +

“The dress isn’t the thing that stands out, it’s the ‘people’. It functions similarly to an extinct species of fungus: it takes bodies, uses some of its own water and electrical content to make them look alive again, and then asks to help you.

+

“…How much design diversity was there among the girls? Was it all a similar style of dress or did they actually have variety besides general design?

Yes, this does matter, you may have seen the Magical Girl Parasite Hivemind.”

((You gotta do it

For Them

“I’m sorry you WHAT?!”

“Lightning Deer. They have organs around the base of their horns to shoot lightning and paralyze prey.”

“…THERE ARE LIGHTNING DEER HERE TOO?!

At least it’s just one this time.”

“Damn it’s such a hot day. Wish there was some place to cool off…”

Even her mech’s have their reactors exposed to help with venting.

“I am by choice. If I wanted to get away, Bunson and Agni both can become space worthy with a few modifications.

Now, may I have that answer please?”

“Wem?”

She wasn’t familiar with what he was saying. Her glasses gave off a dull orange glow as she began to crouch down, like someone about to do some form of lifting

Well at the very least someone’s come to check on him

“Hey Keith? What’s with the meal.”

The height difference was even more obvious when he’s sitting in the ground to eat

These traits are something that I try to work into their backstory somehow (Casey’s initial summoning, Sobek’s cannibalism of Hathor, and Charlene’s experiments), so making that abundantly clear can be an issue

There’s two issues: Sobek is brash, so her mouth often gets her in trouble, and Sobek is a strategist, but her plans go to shit if she is the one fighting. Charlene’s got a lingual and physical barrier, and Casey’s got such an affinity for eldritch nonsense it affects her in the present day. +

((It depends on one factor for me

If it’s for a series, how do I insert them into the story without it being a ‘And OC was also there’ scenario

If it’s by themselves, it’s making sure their character traits are complimentary, but they aren’t Mary Sues: for example on Sobek +

“Fair point, wounds incapacitate far better in combat. Why wouldn’t it work on someone that’s hyper?

Speaking of, I’ve heard talk about an ‘Eden’. Where I’m from that usually means something terrible. I’m guessing not so here?”

“There is always an option to help.”

WHERE DID SHE GET HAND CUFFS FROM?!

“…Y…uh…n-Nevermind.”

Even an amateur could read the expression of ‘what the fuck did I just witness’ spread across her face.
