The Mech's version of shouting "Long Live [ ]" in celebration or before a drink is actually shouting "Death To The Mechanisms", a joke made eons before their final debut was even a thought. It would start out as a joke, at least, but quickly enough they realized it was becoming an affirmation. Not immediate death, but a promised eventual end of the line, of a book closed. The idea of their stories finally ending one day was a relief, even if the pain of losing the others damned the joy of promised rest.
