Mathemagically ~

<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?)

How could they have found the house.

I've managed to salvage the cats but there's not much else left.

This means war.

E.

Hey.

You pregnant, or something??

What the fuck.

Obviously not.

Who would I even be pregnant by?

Ridiculous.

Something is wrong though.

It is none of your fucking business, however.

Scram before I find you and dismantle you.

Come take a look

Come tussle with an old friend of ours!

- Sun & Eclipse

Hold on while I set things up, alright?

I have to make a selfie of all things.

Star! You want to lean magic?

I'd love to!

This is my first time getting to be a... <gasp> a mentor!

In magic!

... ...

Let's test your affinity.

Okay, close your eyes, focus... focus...

Imagine a light in your core.

Do you see anything? What colour is it?

<Sun sounded expectant but also added nervously>

It's okay if you can't find the light just yet! It usually takes some time and practice!

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.

I'm ok, don't worry about me.

But... Your code. I could feel it tugging at me, getting more and more insistent. Almost as if... trying to keep me there...

How cute~ I wouldn't have minded but perhaps this isn't such a good idea.

I'm so happy to hear you feel better. I'm glad I could help you.

Intriguing...

But best to not try that again.

If ever the need arises, I will find another method.

Your code and mine however... seem terribly compatibly.

We are the same, it seems. To a great extent.

... when will I get to see you, beloved?

Hm...

Well, I shall leave it for now.

It doesn't seem malicious just yet, and hardly seems like Eclipse's style.

It can't be him.

What do I even need Sun for?

I could do whatever I want, whenever I want, without being confined to his rules any longer.

Perhaps this is an opportunity.
