I Understand.. Your Frustration.

Gosh, I never imagined they'd go to him for help!

He already doesn't want to help me; why would he help someone else in helping me...

Weeping

I rather miss talking to him though.

Hmpf, even if he was mean to me. He reminded me of Clipse just a little.

Sun took the shot.

Might have to check his optics later.

Picture of my Star and I, stargazing.

And I am looking at the most beautiful one~

Thank you, @eclipse83 for this!

<Sun kept glancing over restlessly; too awake to go to sleep just yet. He wondered if he should make conversation or leave the security bot to her duties>

<The Starlight Security Puppet is still charging. It would go faster were she not also at the same time connecting to the security system combing through the camera logs. Trying to make sure all instances of her alterdimentional guests are either blacked out or deleted. And trying to think up good excuses to explain why this happened while having to lie as little as possible. And how to keep the day staff from entering parts and service until Sun is repaired enough to safely leave>

I do not regret this decision, but my goodness am I realizing now how much of an impulsive decision it was...

I remember the time once when Sun led an army.

Those were strange times..

Why was it again?

Ah yes, I remember it now.

It was a planet where a Moon was a world leader. A tyrant of sorts.. I believe its name was Nocturna.

She was on a complete powertrip with her star.

She was ruthless, truly worthy of the title of a psychotic moon, and Sun damn near lost his mind.

He switched to dark mode near instantly and rallied troops in a matter of weeks, not caring if he used underhanded methods to do so either.

What could I do but watch my star march, lest I be collateral damage in his wrath?

I wasn't too concerned with the half dead planet anyways. Mismanagement of power always goes awry.

But I think it's the little Sunling that truly triggered Sun's rage. It was a small Sun serving as Nocturna's page. And the little thing was beat to near death for every slight she managed.

Sun did it for her.

Yet she still died in the end.

Belatedly, we realized that all the citizens on the planet had already been dead, and were only kept some semblance of alive due to Nocturna's star.

With the star destroyed... it was over.

But the Sunling, I believe she at least greeted her end in freedom, held by someone who fought for her.

Sun was inconsolable for months after, revisiting the planet often to mire in his thoughts and the remnants of the carnage.

Until one day he came home with his first cat.

He named her after the Sunling.

Stellarune had perhaps been the only truly still alive creature on the planet. Surviving by some miracle, as cats do.

Who knows what this cat even is.. it doesn't age and it doesn't grow.

Maybe it's not alive after all?

It eats like a little monster though....

But he's soooo cute, Eclipseeeee.

He's so cuuuuuuuteeeeeee

I won't steal butcanIpetpleasepleaseplease

I'll let you hold one of mine hostage to make sure I don't steal your kittycat

- Sun

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

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.

Thank you, once more.

And .. you did what you had to. We all did.

@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

<Some time before SSP's arrival>

<Eclipse could be heard humming to himself as he worked on repairing his unconscious Sun>

Place your head against me now.

Your tired lips, your open mouth.

Drink my madness if you want to drown.

Swallowed by fury and sound.

I let myself be changed by him too.

But no matter.

Undoing it will be easy ~
