— an aldernic linked to having or wanting a body that is made of brass , copper and black steel . each metal component audibly ticking together and barely hidden beneath the guise of flesh . the seams of ball joints faintly noticeable where the skin is thin ; and the rods of pistons and movements spotted where muscle should be . this is a body that looks almost right , but when close enough you can practically taste the metal it is made of . — alder + cuerpo + alloy — felt like making it .
