Can I Help You Sun? :0

Hmm, that should do it.

The finishing touches~

Now, Sun will be able to insert the sigils to power up this masterpiece and reveal the fruit of our... mutual labour.

Wonderful.

I should upgrade his entire body to match, someday.

But an arm will do for now.

<Eclipse hummed to the music as he did the last of his tinkering, and caressed the finished product lovingly, pressing a kiss to the fingertips for good luck>

Oh... That doesn't sound good.

Can you see any reason why it's corrupting? Can you stop it? I'll help you if you want to. You just have to say the word.

I am very good with codes, you could say it's my specialty. So if there's anything I can do, don't be afraid to ask.

I think there is some permanent damage already.

But if you can.. can you take a look inside my system? I don't know the extent of your ability, my dear.

<Eclipse, Clip, looked brokenly at Sun, secured in Starlight's hold. He could barely stand, but when he looked at Sun² [@insults-by-sun], whose magic had been depleted for the time being, and Eclipse [@eclipse83], his other dimensional self, who seemed too out of his element to react, then back at Starlight [@starlightsecuritypuppet-ssp] securely holding Sun in place, he couldn't let things go anymore. Things were going to get ugly as this rate>

<The moment he saw Sun mentally charge the runes on his new arm for what he presumed was an attack of atomic proportions, he made a decision.>

Forgive me, Sunbeam.

<A single bang rang out in the room. Clip had always been an excellent shot, only matched by Sun himself on occasion. He'd hit Sun rights in the section of his body that allowed Sun control to his limbs, essentially severing his head to what would constitute as his 'nervous system'. Sun screamed in agony, but his scream was cut short by the program finally finishing its override. Sun was out.>

<The fight was over.>

<But the aftermath was devastating. Eclipse wanted to take Sun home as soon as possible, too much in his head to really speak to anyone. He looked at Starlight, with pleading in his eyes.>

Previously:

<Clip, Eclipse Unit-2, nodded a vaguely surprised affirmative at @starlightsecuritypuppet-ssp>

Yes? Why--

<But before anyone could react, a powerful blast of dark energy threw all who weren't secured backwards. @insults-by-sun was knocked into @eclipse83, and Clip was flung against a jagged wall, making his already twice-weakened body screech in protest>

You.

What did you DO TO ME!

<The corrupted Sun was once again awake and scrambling for the usb at the back of his head plate in Starlight's binds. It was anyone's hope that they would hold for 10 more minutes. Just 10 more minutes...>

I have found it, @science-and-felines - @eclipse83

The solution to getting my ☆Sun a new body.

Unfortunately, Eclipse, he will have to be weaned off of your energy, which won't happen overnight.

Eventually, you will be able to part, however, so rest assured.

We need to discuss this post haste, Solar Eclipse.

Come to mine as soon as you're able.

Regards,

☆Eclipse "Clip"

He's mine now

Did I miss something....

I... hm...

I see. I suppose I haven't made the best first impression.

Although my interest in you has not diminished, you do have significantly gone up my esteem.

I will try my best not to look down on you. But it will be hard considering you are shorter than I am.

You little shit...

Whatever. I'll take it.

[Sun² smiled, despite his words]

You're the worst.

...

Welcome to the family.

That's sweet of you.

<Sun smiled, his gaze soft>

You're doing quite alright, I think!

Friendship can't be rushed. You have to find your people. And y'know, there's no.. point to a friendship that's only one person trying...

<His voice tapered off as he spoke, before boincing back again>

It'll be just fine! I'll talk to the Sun just the first time and explain it all and then when everything is a-okay, you will get along swimmingly!

<He patted Starlight's head vigorously>

Suns are very open when they first wake up. They looooove making friends.

And who knows, maybe you'll get lucky with your Moon too..........

Eclipse c:

Blueberries or nah?

If yes, *gives you some* if nah *gives you strawberries*

Or you can have both.

I'm at work (unfortunate event). What are you up to?

Not a fan of blueberries. Strawberries are fine.

Earth wanted to hang out.

How adorable~

Perhaps I shall call you my cherrypie then~

Or perhaps my adorable little honeybun?

What do you prefer, darling?

And being together forever.. that is the dream, isn't it.

One that Sun could never understand.

In response to your blog

I have only one thing to say:

You're cute.

Oh hehehe. You flatterer~

I am only stating the truth and making observations. You're too sweet to me.

Careful with your words. I might never leave you~ It's already too late anyways.

There is connection.

Communication.

Knowledge.

Whispers through the cosmos, of secrets previously untold.

General of intel, protector of innocents, officer against brutality.

All things known to her but granted on a cosmic scale.

Named a puppet, but deep within, she was always meant to influence the strings.

However, for now, a fledgling mage, it was merely a glimpse into a future still to unfold.

For now, all she had was a shield.

<Sun spoke to her>

Well done, Starlight!

It seems your primary element is metal, like mine is fire, but ofcourse we have a lot more to it than just that.

Your secondary element seems to be of a cosmic nature, relying heavily on defense, and stealth.

We'll have to practice and discover what shapes it can take, together.

@es-startravel - <at some time before the present>

<Starlight made her way across the beach from Eclipse to where Sun was resting>

Sun! Hello! Magic!

… ah. I am Sorry, that was rude.

I will start that again. Ahem. I was wondering, Sun, when you are feeling more rested would you be willing to please teach me magic? Eclipse, um the one that is your friend, recommended I learn some spells that could provide me with non-lethal means of defense and restraint. Just in case my code gets compromised, or anything along those lines.

And, I know it is silly and kind of frivolous but…  if you have time could you also teach me something like creating colored glowing sparkles…  or… something. like that…

It would just feel like the magic you see in story books and I would like to have. some. of that feeling… ah ha ha…

(why am I so bad at this?)

Woke up in a dark headspace.

Something is wrong but I can't put my finger on it..

The charge cycle is finished.

And I feel I must thank my new friend but... I have to get going.

I have to get going now

<Sun, still connected to their charger, concentrated deeply and mumbled some arcane words, conjuring up a small portion of a map. Eclipse wasn't being held in a prison... he was on his knees in front of what must be their ruler.>

Eclipse...!

<Could Sun take on so many guards? Would it be wise to do so in this situation? He felt danger impending, however.>

<A distraction.. that's what he needed. Open a portal and throw a vision bomb in there. Grab Eclipse. Portal out.>

<One of his more unwilling mentors had taught him how to get around anti magic barriers once. He's never had to use it, but just in case.....>

I might really lose an arm for this one...

...

I can't lead them here. I'll put on the portal randomizer... at least put in some variables like a nice flower field this time..!

Okay, it's go time.

Sorry @starlightsecuritypuppet-ssp, we will meet again and the favor will be repaid in full.
