Eclipse Repaired My Eye.. And My Arm... Thankfully.

I know many more entities than you'd think; for good or for bad.

We have ambiguous rapport, most of them and I.

And, at least one of us is amused.

[Clip looks at you dryly]

I haven't had much motivation to game lately.

Perhaps, if @total-fatality is interested, although I highly doubt something will come of it.

I am rather annoyed.

Well well well... What do we have here.

I could feel your pain from across dimensions. Your anger.

Betrayed by your own Sun, that little traitor. You can never trust anyone. Never ever. Ever. Especially not them. They act all sweet. Only to better stab you in the back.

...

I understand. I really do.

I've been watching you. Following your little blog. But... I've gotten tired of only watching.

That little yellow stain had it coming.

Hm, peculiar.

And who might you be?

I still have a few more hours of charge to go in @starlightsecuritypuppet-ssp's charging chamber...

Kind of them to let me crash here.

They're charging now, too, I believe.

Poor thing went the extra mile.

Touché.

<Some time after Eclipse (Clip) secured Sun home, he deigned Eclipse with a reply>

To put it briefly, Sun had a mentor for his magic.

He had many a mentor, but the first and last, the one to awaken Sun's magic and the one to finalize his magical ascension, was a darker Sun from a different dimension.

A darker .. creature.. I am loathe to call it a Sun to begin with.

Sun was very taken with them and wouldn't heed my warnings about the sinister nature of its actions.

Then there was a brief period where I was separated from Sun... and Sun can't tell me what happened. It's as if his memories are locked behind an arcane spell of sorts, which I haven't been able to crack since I don't possess any magical affinity.

Something happened to Sun during that period, and a darkness started developing. I hadn't even noticed until.. the last decade or so.

Every few days I go out and about, collecting clues unto the whereabouts of this dark entity in hopes to reverse this or at least garner an explanation.

But there is the possibility that the entity itself gifted its sinister ability to Sun.. and perished.

I still must find some cure, because whatever dark energy looms inside my Sunlight is feeding off his traumatic experiences, amplifying them tenfold whenever he finds himself in certain untoward situations.

Sun, himself, wishes to weaponize this ability.

I just want my Sunshine safe...

E.

Hm... And yet another reason why I'll never touch magic again.

It's none of your business.

Why, Sun, didn't we let your friend know what became of you?

How neglectful of us.

Starlight, Sun is just fine under my care.

We are at a rest location while Sun recovers from his injuries in our last ordeal.

Come, if you so wish.

There is much to chat about, and perhaps you can relax a bit on the beach.

<Eclipse drops a portal to a pleasant tropical island location on some remote uninhabited planet>

@es-startravel

Hello!? Hello!? Sun, This is Starlight Security Puppet! If it is safe for you to do so, can you please tell me where you are?

I came back from my dayshift rounds to check on you and I cannot find you anywhere! And I still have the cameras blacked out in parts and service so I do not know when you left or where you went!

I can not find you via any of the active cameras in the pizzaplex so I assume you are either hiding or have left the pizzaplex entirely.

Are you safe? I am not sure if you are in good enough condition to be out and about!

-SSP

A shame.

But thank you for your time and consideration.

Have a fruitful day.

Sincerely,

Eclipse "Clip"

It is a pleasure to meet you, Solar.

You may not know who I am, but I know of you, through Solar Eclipse. We are acquainted, in such that my Sun is a friend of his.

Thus..

Forgive my unusual question, and I'm unsure if you'd have any answer for me, but do you have any knowledge about animatronic souls getting stuck in devices, and only capable of being powered "alive" by something akin to starpower?

I -- my Sun is in a predicament, and I'm a little desperate for any and all advice.

Sincerely,

Eclipse "Clip"

Hello...?

Oh, right. I've heard of... what happened...

I'm afraid I can't help you. At least not right now. I could ask around. But that's all I can do... I'm sorry.

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...>

Take that back!

At least to Starlight; she doesn't deserve that..

- Sun

I mean. I am no scientist but given what I have l learned and experienced recently "Impossible" seems much smaller than it used to be.

You developed a means to punch holes between realities out of what mostly appeared to be boredom, Eclipse. Within weeks. So forgive me if I thought that something else completely insane like that was within your abilities.

-SSP

Heh. I'm flattered you think I could make a portal in only a few weeks. But that portals represents months of work.

Sure. Exploring a blackhole might not be entirely impossible. But it'll most certainly take a bit longer than the portal.

... it's a shame I couldn't enjoy that pizza.....

This seems insignificant, but it better not be a permanent fixture..
