... I Have A Slight Urge To .. Borrow Eclipse's Cat..

I do not need to tell you.

How delightful.

Suffer.

Wait, how many other Eclipse do you know? THAT totality person is another Eclipse right?

How'd you two meet?

Recent.

He's been spying on me.

I think it's kind of adorable.

As for Eclipses, I know a fair few, but not all of them have "blogs".

Some are probably deceased by now too.

I've been alive for a long time, after all.

<Eclipse, Clip, looked brokenly at Sun, secured in Starlight's hold. He could barely stand, but when he looked at Sun² [@insults-by-sun], whose magic had been depleted for the time being, and Eclipse [@eclipse83], his other dimensional self, who seemed too out of his element to react, then back at Starlight [@starlightsecuritypuppet-ssp] securely holding Sun in place, he couldn't let things go anymore. Things were going to get ugly as this rate>

<The moment he saw Sun mentally charge the runes on his new arm for what he presumed was an attack of atomic proportions, he made a decision.>

Forgive me, Sunbeam.

<A single bang rang out in the room. Clip had always been an excellent shot, only matched by Sun himself on occasion. He'd hit Sun rights in the section of his body that allowed Sun control to his limbs, essentially severing his head to what would constitute as his 'nervous system'. Sun screamed in agony, but his scream was cut short by the program finally finishing its override. Sun was out.>

<The fight was over.>

<But the aftermath was devastating. Eclipse wanted to take Sun home as soon as possible, too much in his head to really speak to anyone. He looked at Starlight, with pleading in his eyes.>

Previously:

<Clip, Eclipse Unit-2, nodded a vaguely surprised affirmative at @starlightsecuritypuppet-ssp>

Yes? Why--

<But before anyone could react, a powerful blast of dark energy threw all who weren't secured backwards. @insults-by-sun was knocked into @eclipse83, and Clip was flung against a jagged wall, making his already twice-weakened body screech in protest>

You.

What did you DO TO ME!

<The corrupted Sun was once again awake and scrambling for the usb at the back of his head plate in Starlight's binds. It was anyone's hope that they would hold for 10 more minutes. Just 10 more minutes...>

To remember what what was lost

Yes, child. To me you are still very young, all things considered. Sun and I have been around for thousands of years by now. Our travel was, at first, a bid for survival. World after world that destroyed itself, and how would we continue?

No matter. That's a story for another time.

Nothing is as simple as it seems.

<Eclipse slowly shook his head from the memory and smiled warmly, but more akin to molten lava than a gentle fireplace>

Do you not find Starlight a fitting and appropriate name? It is filled with hope, and a future. It suits you.

It is also good to meet you, dear friend, and yes the name is quite fine.

Your other dear Eclipse is a young bot, in comparison. He has gone through a lot but hasn't processed much of it. Nor has he experienced horrors to come, if our timelines share any similarities.

Pray that they don't.

Perhaps he learns rather from the tranquil environment he is in right now. Time goes on, after all. Miring in tragedy serves no one well.

He is sweet in his own way!

And you have no idea how much you saved me, Star! So, the least I can do is invite you here with us. Plus I need to apologize for being so rude and leaving on short notice after everything.

<Sun looked a little ashamed>

But feel free to roam and enjoy! It's not the best place for an animatronic but, I'll be honest, this sunlight makes me feel... at ease. If you ever want to go anywhere else at all, I'll take you!

<Sun smiled brightly>

Like Eclipse said, not everything had to be tragedy all the time, right ? Work is fine and all, but a sense of peace is even better ~

@es-startravel

Hello!? Hello!? Sun, This is Starlight Security Puppet! If it is safe for you to do so, can you please tell me where you are?

I came back from my dayshift rounds to check on you and I cannot find you anywhere! And I still have the cameras blacked out in parts and service so I do not know when you left or where you went!

I can not find you via any of the active cameras in the pizzaplex so I assume you are either hiding or have left the pizzaplex entirely.

Are you safe? I am not sure if you are in good enough condition to be out and about!

-SSP

Oh, Eclipse is back? -- with my new arm!

Oh wow. It feels different..

My star, it is different.

Here, look inside.

What are those?

Sigil slots, dear.

Just carve your sigils in here and you can mathematically .-.. matharcanely?- conjure up existing spells and create new spells on the go.

Precision and all that.

.... this feels like cheating, 'Clipse..

Whatever keeps you safe, my star.

Now come, I have to install it on you.

The holidays are coming ~

<Starlight is working dayshift at one of the older locations, Freddy Fazbears Classic Pizza. Having taken over for the paid human day guard they do not have to have on site while she is stationed at the location, she watches the cameras from a small security office. She cannot connect wirelessly to this outdated security system like she can in all other locations.>

<She reccives a notification on her fazwatch. Starlight perks up as she brings up her wrist to eagerly check the message she received, hoping it is her friend Sun finally willing to talk to her again.>

<It is not.>

. . . .

<If SSP cared about that sort of thing right now, the robot would notice that the usual anxiety and agitation that usually accompanies switching into High Security Mode is absent. This time there is only a calm, sharp focus. The Security Unit's thoughts now running along clean, efficient lines as rapid calculations are made.>

You're just like me

Of course, of course! Whatever you want Clip.

So you've caught me~ I'm impressed. But not surprised. I know you're a smart one. I like that about you. And how convenient it was when I found out there was already a whole set of cameras around you're house.

It's almost like you're begging for someone to watch you.

Or... perhaps... you used them to watch someone?

It was for security purposes.

A lie.

Colour version. I expect one more version, with better shadows and highlights. Cause I'm dedicated to this now ..

A photo of us!

Sun will be in tears.

The cats are terrified and skittish.

We need to relocate. It's a good thing I catalogue all our items and their composition.

This isn't the first time.

E., enraged.

How could they have found the house.

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

This means war.
