[Passenger cannot muster enough Give A Fuck to stop Add from sticking his nose into things. At the same time, he's glad someone else has the enthusiasm about machinery that he does. Someone who will hopefully exchange information on this "diceon" and "El" in return for his "Originium".
A smile, thin and fleeting, forms on his lips.]
Originium is an unstable mineral oft used as a power source, [he explains patiently, watching Add flit about.] It can volatilize into a gaseous state, is flammable in a liquid state, and exhibits highly explosive properties. That said, it can gradually assimilate with organic material, and should it do so, one will find themself infected by a disease known as Oripathy.
Infected such as myself are marked by crystalline structures appearing on our bodies, [with a gloved hand, he points to his forehead, where a black crystal has formed — though it may or may not look like a decoration on first glance,] and as the disease progresses, we will eventually find our entire bodies — blood, internal organs, and all — begin to exhibit similar structures. Eventually, the infection reaches a point where the Infected can no longer properly intake nutrients, and death is said to be slow and painful. At the stage where an Infected dies, their body shall experience something of spontaneous combustion, spewing particles of Originium into the air and infecting anyone else close enough to breathe it in, thus continuing the unfortunate cycle.
[Completely unbothered by all of this (seemingly, anyhow), Passenger continues,] It can, additionally, destabilize the mind or cause other psychological changes, as well as cause physical mutations such as horns to grow.
[So, uh, have fun sticking your arm into the casing, Add.]
Diceon and this "El" you had mentioned earlier are materials I am unfamiliar with. Would you be inclined to trade knowledge for my own?
