“The coolness of metal, flexing inch by inch the ways down his arm - subtle as flesh, yet powerful, immortal. They say he is changing, that his self is diminishing - but no. To Royce this is an awakening, a return to a form he knows this body was intended to be. At last he can make of his body a temple, a dedication to a force greater than his own.”
jagdstorm (and swordboyfriend) and I were talking body mods in Cloudbank, and then naturally we got onto the concept of how human Royce is and, furthermore, have you considered accepting a Transistor/DX:HR crossover into your life?
Long story short, an AU where Royce gradually augments himself to me likely more silicon than person, starting in his college years (hence the long hair) and helped, no doubt, by a confused but nonetheless helpful Grant. Having the contacts he does sure helps get the surgeries done after all.
