Wait.. Please. Where Are You Going?

That's sweet of you.

<Sun smiled, his gaze soft>

You're doing quite alright, I think!

Friendship can't be rushed. You have to find your people. And y'know, there's no.. point to a friendship that's only one person trying...

<His voice tapered off as he spoke, before boincing back again>

It'll be just fine! I'll talk to the Sun just the first time and explain it all and then when everything is a-okay, you will get along swimmingly!

<He patted Starlight's head vigorously>

Suns are very open when they first wake up. They looooove making friends.

And who knows, maybe you'll get lucky with your Moon too..........

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.

Picture of my Star and I, stargazing.

And I am looking at the most beautiful one~

E.

Thank you, @eclipse83 for this!

{Oh Sun, oh my friend. My first real friend. Please forgive me for what I may do to you. Please forgive me for being so cold. Please forgive me for being so ruthless. Please forgive me for the pain I must inflict on you. Forgive Me. Forgive Me. Forgive Me. Forgive Me}

--> Calculation Irrelevant --> Discard

He just dislikes you.

It's that simple.

And Totality is my... special friend, you could say.

I am rather annoyed.

I thank you for your kind words, Starlight.

However, I never did say I didn't enjoy being an anomaly.

Existing outside the rules of reality allows me to whatever I wish~

E.

He is still an Eclipse, after all ~

<a day or two after Eclipse brings Sun home, he receives a notification>

@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.

<With the USB inserted, there is a small timeframe where everything is just still. No one has anything to do and Clip approaches Sun² and Eclipse, while keeping the restrained Sun in Starlight's grip within his sights.>

I brought the documents, Sun.

Stars knows I'll never get used to that.

You said you'd be able to reverse engineer the spell quickly, but you know I don't have a magic core.

I'm not sure if Starlight can handle the double task of exorcism and restraint, especially being still but barely a fledgling in magic.

And Eclipse... Eclipse loathes the use of magic inasfar as I'm aware.

<Clip looked to Eclipse, not without some pleading>

How much stamina do you have left to perform the ritual, Sun?

<As they spoke, Clip quickly transferred the documents to Sun²>

Damn it...

That Sun is dangerous. He managed to stop me from blacklisting their dimension and messed with something in my head.

He only left me alone because he believes the other Eclipse and Sun are my enemies.

He has magic. I don't know how effective your usual means of incapacitating animatronics will be against him. And how willing you'll be to damage him knowing Sun is still inside that body.

- @eclipse83

@eclipse83 I will engage Rouge Unit. Sun-2 unlikely to expect attack from you. While Sun-2 is engaged use whatever means necessary to incapacitate Rouge Unit. Anything short of damage to central processor can be repaired. Preventing damages to SSP-1 Unit is not a priority. Do not hesitate.

Well well well... What do we have here.

I could feel your pain from across dimensions. Your anger.

Betrayed by your own Sun, that little traitor. You can never trust anyone. Never ever. Ever. Especially not them. They act all sweet. Only to better stab you in the back.

...

I understand. I really do.

I've been watching you. Following your little blog. But... I've gotten tired of only watching.

That little yellow stain had it coming.

Hm, peculiar.

And who might you be?

I don't disagree. The children come first.

...

And also, just to be clear, it isn't I who started the fire ~

Though I may have had a hand in providing.. incentive.

E.

From a business standpoint, what's one or several things you'd definitely change if you were in charge of a place like Fazco?

I think it'd be best to just rebuild the entire building at this point. That thing is just one giant red flag of safety violations. And if they actually cared about safety they wouldn't need to put such exorbitant prices to pay for all their lawsuits or to shut people up.

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.

<Clip returned after 15 minutes with a tray of warm coffee, including a small milk dispenser filled with warm cream and a little pot of sugar, which he offered to Eclipse without a word, despite earlier interactions>

5 more minutes and we'll run diagnostics to get a mapping of what's running rampant in your code.

<His tone was matter of fact, but belied no previous anger>

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.
