Thinking Of An Old Friend..

Perhaps

It is time

For an upgrade

...

So be it.

Then let this be a declaration of war.

He will feel what I felt.

And so will you.

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.

I don't mind talking to your Sun for you.

I think it'll go over better, especially if he's the erratic and nervous type.

It's.. important to talk to the Suns...

Either of the Eclipses can talk to the Moon side, probably. If he's hostile, he can be intimidated. If he's confused, he can be coaxed.

He.. he needs... he needs to learn to identify his triggers and get proper help for them. Management, whatever. Don't assume he can handle it... he's prone to rapid instability.

<Sun seemed to choke up in unknown emotion at the thought of another Moon, but he forced it down.>

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.

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.

<Sun kept glancing over restlessly; too awake to go to sleep just yet. He wondered if he should make conversation or leave the security bot to her duties>

<The Starlight Security Puppet is still charging. It would go faster were she not also at the same time connecting to the security system combing through the camera logs. Trying to make sure all instances of her alterdimentional guests are either blacked out or deleted. And trying to think up good excuses to explain why this happened while having to lie as little as possible. And how to keep the day staff from entering parts and service until Sun is repaired enough to safely leave>

I do not regret this decision, but my goodness am I realizing now how much of an impulsive decision it was...

What a lonely existence..

It's a shame. A real shame.

But your feelings are holding you back. That little stain has made it clear he doesn't want anything to do with you. So why hold onto such hopeless feelings.

Oh I already have so many ideas.

We should kidnap that other Eclipse. He's the one keeping the traitor active. What fun would there be to torment a dormant spirit after all. Oo that rhymes~ Torment a dormant spirit. As much as I hate hurting another Eclipse... He did ask for it by helping the little cockroach. Right after you'd been so nice to him too. Ungrateful asshole. And it seems your dear Sunny has developped a soft spot for him.

So what do you think?

Hmm, you may be right.

On both accounts.

Still, Eclipse did me a courtesy... it would be awfully rude.

I'm not entirely opposed, however.

Do share your ideas, darling.

I let myself be changed by him too.

But no matter.

Undoing it will be easy ~

I.. see..... so his energy is keeping you alive. I'll look into getting you back.. and then you may leave, or feel free to do whatever you wish, ☆Sun....

... I'll go..

But how will I survive without you? Not being dramatic here, but I think I'm only alive because of .. whatever you're doing with the devices.

[Sun squeaked in mild panic]

Ugh... You can stay. Whatever.

But you explain that to your Eclipse. That's your business.

<Some time before SSP's arrival>

<Eclipse could be heard humming to himself as he worked on repairing his unconscious Sun>

Place your head against me now.

Your tired lips, your open mouth.

Drink my madness if you want to drown.

Swallowed by fury and sound.
