Oh, Eclipse Is Back? -- With My New Arm!

Lost a friend today.

<Eclipse is fondly watching Sun shake his ass at the moment, seeing as the latter is in better spirits and sweeping the house while dancing and singing terribly off key>

I ... I got him.

They will probably chase us to the ends of the world for this but for now we're safe.

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.

I can do a lot of neat tricks.

I could infiltrate Eclipse's computer. Cause some chaos. Maybe make them lose their mind a bit.

Maybe I can pit them against one another.

Oh, or I could slowly drain the battery life out of them.

It's your choice, really.

What do you want?

What nice ideas.

Can you do all of them?

We can play a long game ~

What do you say?

I would like to see Eclipse drop my little Sunshine. Then he can feel what I feel.

<As Starlight was deeply entrenched in her core discovery, a light entered her field of vision. It felt safe, though the feeling itself felt strange, slightly uncomfortable. But she recognized the voice of its owner>

It's nice to meet you, Star.

Did you sleep well?

...

It's time to wake up.

<It was like meeting all old cosmic friend, even though they were new friends in every regard. But the elements recognized one another from an origin lost to time>

<Starlight felt her core glow; brighten... unfold>

<Faster and faster it spun, molding itself to a shape that intrinsically felt ... right>

A shield! But there was something more to it... what could it be?

@es-startravel - <at some time before the present>

<Starlight made her way across the beach from Eclipse to where Sun was resting>

Sun! Hello! Magic!

… ah. I am Sorry, that was rude.

I will start that again. Ahem. I was wondering, Sun, when you are feeling more rested would you be willing to please teach me magic? Eclipse, um the one that is your friend, recommended I learn some spells that could provide me with non-lethal means of defense and restraint. Just in case my code gets compromised, or anything along those lines.

And, I know it is silly and kind of frivolous but…  if you have time could you also teach me something like creating colored glowing sparkles…  or… something. like that…

It would just feel like the magic you see in story books and I would like to have. some. of that feeling… ah ha ha…

(why am I so bad at this?)

To remember what what was lost

Eclipse will find himself developing an unusual .. hidden talent in the hours to days to come. What it could be remains to be seen.

So you're not affiliated with them in any way.

You still seem... fun to play with.

But an enemy of theirs, is a friend of mine.

Here.

<The corrupted Sun, fast as lighting, appeared behind Eclipse and did something unknown to his systems, touching at the back of his faceplate.>

A gift.

<It whispered in a sinister manner>

Don't worry, I didn't infuse you with any code or magic... I just... unlocked something dormant in your systems.

Enjoy... friend ~

<The corrupted Sun disappeared in a cloud of black and gold particled, and Eclipse found that his jammed program finally went through in blacklisting the dimension>

But was that really for the best?

...

What. Just happened.

...

You get what you asked for

After everything we've been through.

After everything I've done for you?

You give me this?

...

Alright, Sun.

Just so you know, I loved you more than all the galaxies combined.

I never told you, precisely because I valued your freedom over my desires.

I suppose we hadn't seen eye to eye on this, and maybe more.

Had you spoken to me about it, perhaps something could have been arranged.

Consider this our goodbye, and your only warning.

Do not come find me again when your world comes falling apart.

I have found it, @science-and-felines - @eclipse83

The solution to getting my ☆Sun a new body.

Unfortunately, Eclipse, he will have to be weaned off of your energy, which won't happen overnight.

Eventually, you will be able to part, however, so rest assured.

We need to discuss this post haste, Solar Eclipse.

Come to mine as soon as you're able.

Regards,

☆Eclipse "Clip"
