I Had A Dream While Charging... Gosh, It Was So Long Ago.

I do not care.

This is the last interaction I will entertain.

I do not have an interest in your "suggestions".

Hello Sir or Madam,

I come to deliver an important message.

I've already seen it and I obviously won't comply.

Please go elsewhere if you value your time.

What are you...

<Whilst Sun was in a good mood, Eclipse was busy in his head perusing ancient documents. He came across something that made his circuits spark dread.>

Cyndr...

This was written by Sun's mentor

And the title of it read... Sunkiller

But it was such an old document.. why..

How many Suns...

To find the one that survives, the successor

<Eclipse growled and grabbed Sun, practically throwing him on the couch as he boxed him in>

I am speaking to that thing, Sun.

NOW.

Well that's an offer I just cannot refuse.

I've spent so long looking at you through my phone. I'd love nothing more than meet the real deal.

Send me your dimension coordinates and I might come soon.

Hm..

You make it sound awfully... seductive.

Very well.

[An encrypted file is added to the message]

If you truly know me, you should be able to figure this out ~

Till soon.. darling.

I do not need to tell you.

How delightful.

Suffer.

Wait, how many other Eclipse do you know? THAT totality person is another Eclipse right?

How'd you two meet?

Recent.

He's been spying on me.

I think it's kind of adorable.

As for Eclipses, I know a fair few, but not all of them have "blogs".

Some are probably deceased by now too.

I've been alive for a long time, after all.

{Oh Sun, oh my friend. My first real friend. Please forgive me for what I may do to you. Please forgive me for being so cold. Please forgive me for being so ruthless. Please forgive me for the pain I must inflict on you. Forgive Me. Forgive Me. Forgive Me. Forgive Me}

--> Calculation Irrelevant --> Discard

And you're right, we don't know each other that well!

<Sun's voice took on a darker tone>

So why are you interfering with, what was initially supposed to be, some playful bothering of this Eclipse? I would have dropped it at his insistence.

You seem an awful lot like his guard dog right now. Is that what you are? What you want to be known as? Did he ask you to interfere on his behalf?

Try hard.

I'll leave the issue be, but back off, or else.

<There was a terrifying swirling aura around Sun; sweet pale yellow fading into deep black. In that moment, he definitely gave off an impression of more an Eclipse than a Sun.>

- Sun

You must think you're being real cute, aren't you.

Hello Clip.

A little birdie told me you wanted to see me. So here I am~

I couldn't not send you a little message after seeing the state you're in. And I'm so sorry the pizza wasn't to your taste. It won't ever happen again, I can assure you.

Is there anything I can do to make you feel better?

Perhaps if I could have a taste of you--

Pardon, there is something deeply wrong with my system right now.

I just..

I woukd like some company

Would you mind talking to me while I run diagnostics on myself?

You can watch. I know you have been.

Sun will be fine; thank you for your concern.

And don't worry about triggering him; I have had to do more than my fair share of... self repairs after his episodes.

It's not easy to tell what sets him off.

And.. ah... yes... well, I am but a virus. A partial entity... barely a whole.

In all my years, the universe fails to recognize me as an autonomous being.

I am an anomaly, in the grand scheme of things.

Your Eclipse got somewhat luckier.

His break from his Moon was cleaner, it seems, by the way he is able to use magic, even if he chooses not to.

E.

<a day or two after Eclipse brings Sun home, he receives a notification>

@es-startravel

Hello Eclipse. This is SSP, contacting you via my fazwatch.

I know I made Sun very upset. I would like to talk to him so I can understand why what I said made him so upset. But, only if you think they would be comfortable talking with me.

Did I really cross Sun’s boundaries that badly, Eclipse? Was it wrong for me to reprimand him like that? I know I tend to be unskilled when it comes to social interaction, but please believe I meant no ill-will towards him. He is basically the first friend I ever really made. He can drop the magic lessons if he wishes, I just don’t want to lose him as a friend. Or you, for that matter.

-SSP

<Sun had briefly snapped out of his anger by the sound of Eclipse's voice. However, another voice joined in.>

Now, now, my star, remember your counting exercises. You can't let the other out like that for something like this.

Come, let's go home.

<Eclipse, Clip, turned to Starlight and the other Eclipse>

Apologies, friends.. Sun has a.. condition. He's not quite himself in the face of authoritive gestures.

I hope there is no harm done.

...

A tracker on his body alerts me of these episodes, so you're not in any danger as long as I'm around to control them.

<Eclipse began to lead Sun away, who was muttering confusedly under his breath. It was easy to tell there was more to this story... a lot more. But would they really want to know?>

You must think you're being real cute, aren't you.

Hm.

Just a moment.

<Clip opened up his front panel and extended a cable from his complex inner wiring, plugging it into the panel. Eclipse could see Clip isolate a strange looking part of his code that seemed to be the reason Clip could create a barrier between his thoughts and Eclipse's ability>

Care to try and modify this to your needs?

@eclipse83

<Clip wasn't aware of Eclipse's inner thoughts and 5 minutes passed in amicable silence>

<The nanomachines then stopped working and a fully functioning, yet inactive, chamber had materialized.>

<Clip briefly inspected the machine and, deeming it up to standard, looked to Eclipse>

Are you ready?
