Eclipse got friendshipped

gasp

Probably shouldn't be eavesdropping...

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.

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...

Sun will be fine; thank you for your concern.

And don't worry about triggering him; I have had to do more than my fair share of... self repairs after his episodes.

It's not easy to tell what sets him off.

And.. ah... yes... well, I am but a virus. A partial entity... barely a whole.

In all my years, the universe fails to recognize me as an autonomous being.

I am an anomaly, in the grand scheme of things.

Your Eclipse got somewhat luckier.

His break from his Moon was cleaner, it seems, by the way he is able to use magic, even if he chooses not to.

E.

<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.

Perhaps

It is time

For an upgrade

Starlight.

Whatever happened to you?

Maybe you achieved enlightenment, like you wanted

Thinking of an old friend..

Where are you?

You taught me so much.

All my magic, it comes from your essence, your mind.. your core.

But then you left without goodbye.

Mirror self, are you still out there?

Are you still alive?

Sun?

To remember what what was lost

How about yes?

Yes? Come on, say yes!

Why not!

- Sun

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

I also heard music.

Stream of consciousness music is always such a surreal experience....

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.

You're mimicking my new friend, I see.

Are you going to be a problem for me?
