NOW you've done it!  Google, here I come...

2,869 miles by car from NYC to San Ysidro, CA (which is on the US/Mexican border).  Haven't found anyplace further in contiguous US.  But Circle, MN is the furthest place from a Starbuck's in the contiguous US.  Huh.  Montana can't be all bad, then...

Wow...you get a B + !  :D

That's what I thought.  Now if I got 'em to leave coffee and donuts on your desk instead of the proverbial apple, could I just skip ahead to graduation and be done with it?

I know you all ignored my answers two pages ago, but I thought I should point out that this entire topic was discussed in Small Favor by Mab and Harry.  I suggest listening to it.

To be fair this topic hasn't really been discussed since page six, few different tangents have spewed off since then  ::)

Yes, we came for the Arctis Tor debate, and stayed for the geographical debate.

What if Mavra took up one of the Coins?  She's a pretty powerful sorcerous, and Black court vamp.  Wouldn't that make her pretty powerful?  Maybe she was one of the people bringing down a ton of Hell fire?

Not mortal.  She may not be eligible.

We've been batting around the idea of eligibility on another thread...do you need a soul or is it just preferred because the Fallen love twisting souls away from God, things of that nature.

So far every person who's gotten a coin has been mortal with free will.

How that meshes with nic's offer to grey, I don't know.  My speculation is that grey is a naagloshi scion, not full on naagloshi or other shapeshifting immortal without free will.

Predicated on a couple of assumptions: (1) Humans are the only beings with souls.  I disagree.  Jinni, at least, have souls too.  Maybe other sentient being as well.  (2) Grey is half-Naagloshii.  (3) That Grey is half human.  (4) That Nick knew what Grey was, and that he had a soul on which one of the Fallen could ride.

But technically isn't Mavra a demon with free will?  Maybe after Dresden threatened her she was willing to make them an offer.  A merger.  "I help you with your goals, you help me with mine, then we go our separate ways." or something like that.

I don't think the Denarians have anything she wants. Mavra is all about Mavra, and with the Darkhallow ritual at her fingertips i'm sure she has much bigger plans. A Fallen would just get in her way.
