It's So Boring In The House When In Eclipse Is Gone!

I had a dream while charging... gosh, it was so long ago.

One of rare planets with a tropical island...

We really relaxed a while there, sipping sparkly drinks for the hell of it.

Eclipse can't hold his alcohol..

And then we went spelunking because why the hell not?

Indestructible animatronic mode activated!

Selfie?

Selfie.

Right, whatever you say Clip~

But I won't complain since that makes it easier for me to watch you.

Oh, your diagnostic is done. You should check it. I hope it's nothing too bad. I would hate for something to happen to you. You wouldn't deserve it.

You sound jealous-- is it something I said?

I can't recall what I replied to you.

It's all scrambled.

I shall check it now cause this is quite concerni-- oh.

Fuck.

What a lonely existence..

You're mimicking my new friend, I see.

Are you going to be a problem for me?

As long as you play my game, I'll let you win~

Dear Starlight,

Sunshine is fine and so is your bond with him.

His little flare ups are temporary, if intense, and as long as he's not further goaded, he tends to see his irrational reaction for what it is.

But please try not to give him further reason to anger, for your own safety.

You're adept at taking down animatronics, but his magic is nothing like you've ever seen before. Maybe gather some experience with magic first before venturing there.

He will likely contact you once he's done fuming about being interrupted and talked over, and not being able to pet Eclipse's pussycat.

It's a tantrum at best, friend.

His counterpart, Moon, did a number on his psyche and, together with the dark magic coursing his systems, it makes for a dangerous cocktail.

Not to worry though, I am working on the situation.

I'm educating myself in how to soothe his psyche, while also figuring out how to combine my own mechanical ability with external magic.

I'll never have my own, since I don't have a magical core... I am but a remnant of his Moon, after all.

@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

Do I really need a reason?

Maybe I just want to help a fellow Eclipse out. Isn't that enough?

Maybe I want to bury another traitor six feet under.

I am unsure...

☆Sun, as angry as I am, is still someone I hold love for.

I cannot deny, however, that your proposition is tantalizing.

I am of half a mind to destroy everything he holds dear.

Perhaps get him to beg to return to me.

And if he doesn't want to? Well, he won't see the light of day again. He may suffer for eternity, one way or another.

Emo?

He betrayed me.

We could have talked it out.

He betrayed me for you!

What can you possibly offer him?

Like you even care about him.

Even if you do, you'd just as sooner deny it and throw him under a bus than ever admit you enjoy his company.

He was my entire world, Eclipse.. you'd never understand that.

Eclipse, it looks like you're going through a lot. Once again.

if you need anything between Starlight and Pixel Sun let me know man!

It's scary your friends are in danger.

You're smart and capable and you'll get through this but if you need any help at all, I can try!

✊

Even after leaving the pizzaplex drama still follows me.

I doubt you could do anything to help.

Oh Eclipse... Eclipse.

It's a shame he chose to become my enemy.

I would have loved to have been his.. friend, accomplice ?

We could have done marvellous things together.

But alas, he is soft.

Gentle even.. although he doesn't dare admit such to himself.

Even ☆Sun, I had molded into harder stuff.

Stronger stuff.

Although he proclaims to have left all that behind.

Tch.

He thinks he can escape years of conditioning that easily?

I made him perfect, and he threw it all away.

And for what?

An inferior version of myself?

Pathetic.

To think I tried to play by his rules; be "nicer" to others.

Such tedium.
