Hey. This Is Eclipse. I... Require Your Assistance... Regarding My Code. That Corrupted Sun Did Something

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"

Of course~ Oh, I was hoping you'd say that.

I am very glad to see you've started to see reason. Talking to you was such a good idea.

I cannot wait to get started.

Excellent.

And do consider showing your lovely face around my quarters if you so please.

Perhaps we can have a.. more personal chat.

I'd love to know more about you, and what drove you to come to my aid.

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.

... I have a slight urge to .. borrow Eclipse's cat..

- Sun

You must think you're being real cute, aren't you.

<Takes place sometime after the fight and the aftermath in the Startravel timeline. Starlight recieves it a fair bit later.>

Dear Starlight,

I'm delighted to hear your transition into the new year was fulfilling.

From myself, also the best wishes for this new earth year.

We don't have such transitions anymore, but we keep track of what the date would have been in our original timeline. It's still some lunar turns off from now, as the planet we're on only has a vibrant moon, and no sun.

Regardless, thank you for your well wishes.

Sun is, unfortunately, still kept in stasis as my friend, the other Sun, tries to extract the dark energy from his code.

We must keep hope...

I have sent you a little gift in the mail, courtesy of our other Sun, and my own handiwork.

It's a balljoint doll animatronic Sun; a little replica that uses holograms and a basic AI to help you get a handle on your magic. It's not much, but it's enough, I hope, to make up for lost time.

E.

@es-startravel

Hello my friends! Starlight here! I do not quite know how time works between different realities, but here it was recently New Year's Day! My first actually! It was rather chaotic the night before (so many human adults acting rather like children, my goodness gracious) but I got to see Fireworks! I loved them, they were so beautiful! They look a bit like how magic feels, if that makes any sense. Color and wonder and light and awe. Or um, something like that, ha ha.

Again, I do not know how time works for you, but regardless I thought I would wish you a Happy New Year! And that this New Year be filled with Joy and Peace for you both!

-Starlight

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.

E.

By all means.

E.

Though I'm tempted to pick you up by the scruff like the wet cat you're acting like right now and throw you in a cat dryer.

<In the background, Eclipse immediately got chastised by Sun for being unkind, looking much like the snarky, wet cat himself now>

I mean. I am no scientist but given what I have l learned and experienced recently "Impossible" seems much smaller than it used to be.

You developed a means to punch holes between realities out of what mostly appeared to be boredom, Eclipse. Within weeks. So forgive me if I thought that something else completely insane like that was within your abilities.

-SSP

Heh. I'm flattered you think I could make a portal in only a few weeks. But that portals represents months of work.

Sure. Exploring a blackhole might not be entirely impossible. But it'll most certainly take a bit longer than the portal.

Wah! Hello, friend!

It's you and .... Eclipse?

You did it??

I can ... actually.. read the words.

Yours at least. I highly doubt this extends to other askers but wonderful, wonderful!

I can turn deScramble mode off in my circuitry!

Thank you again, Eclipse. I don't understand all this kindness... the reason for it. But I appreciate it.

Thank you for all your effort too, ah.. what do I call you exactly? You're a puppet model?

Starlight Security Puppet?! That's a mouthful. Do you have a nickname...

Doesn't matter. It'll still work fine.

Now I'm gonna open this up... Pretty simple mechanics but that's to be expected... Putting this here... and...

There. It's done.

You can test it out. The connection should be more stable.

( @eclipse83)

Alright. Let me give it a try...

@lost-in-space-sun Hello? Hello? Starlight Security Puppet calling in! Am I coming through more clearly now?

it is incredible what you can do, Eclipse...

In a mood~

Sh, don't let them see <3

- Sun

<Sun could be heard humming ever so often throughout his time charging, trying not to think of what became of Eclipse>

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.
