When Ves called Marcella and told her of his plan, she responded with a thoughtful look.
"Ordinarily, I'd advise apprentices to stay away from this crowd. The people who purchase mechs at the Vintage Festivals have their heads stuck in the past. What they consider to be a good mech can be very different from what you and I think are good."

"I can't say I understand them, but my unique specialties should appeal to their tastes. I'm confident I can make an impact at the festival."
"You do have that quality." Marcella admitted with a thoughtful expression. "Yes, if you tailor your mechs in a way that amplifies the 'good old days' feel of the last generation, you'll be able to tug at the heartstrings of your customers."
