To remember what what was lost

<Sun smiled brightly>

I am the very original frame of the Sun models, dating back all the way to 2014 in our dimension.

In your dimension's years, it would be -1517... that much time before it even came to existence!

<Sun blinked and smiled again. Eclipse wasn't joking when mentioning Sun was a walking logbook>

That Eclipse of yours sure is a character.

<He was following the conversation as well, as his Eclipse (Clip) returned. Sun could tell something was wrong, but Eclipse would speak when ready. He seamlessly slipped into the conversation.>

It is a grim tale, Starlight, and you might think less of Sun and I for it. Are you sure you want to know?

E.

<SSP found herself chuckling a bit at her Fazwatch, reading the latest correspondence with Eclipse>

Ha ha, Oh dear, poor Eclipse.

<She shakes her head and tuts>

I do try not to be mean, but he did call me stupid. I work in customer service to some degree. Eclipse should have realised I would have some idea how to reprimand someone politely.

<The animatronic carefully sits herself on the sand next to Sun. She will most likely get sand in her joints, but right now SSP can’t bring herself to care. She idly traces patterns in the sand with her finger>

You said you were a Sun Model. Or at least that Sun Model parts would be compatible for repairing you. Does that mean that you were something like an ordinary Fazco animatronic like me, a long time ago?

If you do not mind telling me, how did you go from that to travelling the cosmos? And Magic?

… The Sun model that will likely be arriving at the pizzaplex back home. Will they be like you?

You need to contact Eclipse Immediately.

Very well.

<A portal opens for @eclipse83 without fanfare or goading. Perhaps the other Eclipse, Clip, had a reason for being unwilling to antagonize his alternate dimensional self this time around. Who is to say.>

Hey. This is Eclipse. I... require your assistance... regarding my code. That corrupted Sun did something to it and I would need help figuring out what it is exactly. You are the only one I know with the knowledge necessary to solve this problem.

Believe me. If I had any other choice I wouldn't have asked you for help.

( @eclipse83 )

Why, ofcourse.

Do you expect me at yours, or would you like to come to mine?

I may have better equipment to deal with your... little issue.

E., who has been waiting for you.

Okay so I've made some tools.

That was ridiculously hard, but I'm glad... boy am I ever glad... that Eclipse actually upgraded my endoskeleton a little to be able to do some heavy lifting.

Emphasis on some.

Sheesh. That burned through more charge than I expected and it better be worth it cause that pod's charge won't tide me over for much longer.

Power first.

Magic second.

Rescue Eclipse third.

I can do this!

I am rather annoyed.

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.

But he called me childish!

Hmpf!

Gosh, I never imagined they'd go to him for help!

He already doesn't want to help me; why would he help someone else in helping me...

Weeping

I rather miss talking to him though.

Hmpf, even if he was mean to me. He reminded me of Clipse just a little.

[A noise can be heard coming from somewhere in the house.]

[If Clip checks the kitchen, he will be met with a pizza box sitting on the counter. Inside is a large steaming hot vegetable pizza with extra cheese.]

[There is a note on the box with a little heart scribbled on it.]

Hm?

So someone was indeed watching me, it seems..

And they know what I like.

I have a feeling I know who it is now too.

[Clip checks the note, smiling slightly at the adorable gesture of a heart]

...

You get what you asked for
