"It's made of synthskin, it's as close to real skin as you can get. Biotech, baby! Hyperion does it best. It's got nanotech so it moves like a face should - which is more than this one does." He taps his own jawline. And his expressions do seem...smaller, more restrained. The skin at the edges of the mark are puckered and drawn tight.
"Plus I can see like I got two good eyes, this one is...I dunno, really, exactly what's going on with it, but it doesn't work. The whole thing's a mystery even to modern space medicine."
Being stoned definitely helps. Besides...it's Harley. He'd probably get bonus points for having the remnants of a powerful alien artifact hanging out inside of him.
"Anyway, don't play with it, come on. You can buy replicas in the museum back home, I'll get ya one of them to play with. Hey you can also buy copies of the poster for my official porno!"
