Do I Really Need A Reason?

The two work deep into the proverbial night, not without some initial terse exchanges. But after a while, the two Eclipses get lost in a world of code, magic and solving puzzles, momentarily forgetting previous animosity.

After a long while, and several heated failures, it's finally time.

Eclipse can go home, with a new lease on his ability.

Before they part, Clip pinched his ray and tells him to not be such a sourpuss all the time. He also tells him that he's a pretty cool guy and if he ever wants to work on some projects, to let him know.

But before he can get the last word of goodbye out, or listen to Eclipse's reply, an alarm rings and Clip looks like he's seen a ghost. He tersely tells Eclipse to just go home for now, opening a portal, as he leaves the space.

Eclipse would only later come to learn of ☆Sun's death...

<Clip wasn't aware of Eclipse's inner thoughts and 5 minutes passed in amicable silence>

<The nanomachines then stopped working and a fully functioning, yet inactive, chamber had materialized.>

<Clip briefly inspected the machine and, deeming it up to standard, looked to Eclipse>

Are you ready?

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 ... I got him.

They will probably chase us to the ends of the world for this but for now we're safe.

And you're right, we don't know each other that well!

<Sun's voice took on a darker tone>

So why are you interfering with, what was initially supposed to be, some playful bothering of this Eclipse? I would have dropped it at his insistence.

You seem an awful lot like his guard dog right now. Is that what you are? What you want to be known as? Did he ask you to interfere on his behalf?

Try hard.

I'll leave the issue be, but back off, or else.

<There was a terrifying swirling aura around Sun; sweet pale yellow fading into deep black. In that moment, he definitely gave off an impression of more an Eclipse than a Sun.>

- Sun

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

I don't mind talking to your Sun for you.

I think it'll go over better, especially if he's the erratic and nervous type.

It's.. important to talk to the Suns...

Either of the Eclipses can talk to the Moon side, probably. If he's hostile, he can be intimidated. If he's confused, he can be coaxed.

He.. he needs... he needs to learn to identify his triggers and get proper help for them. Management, whatever. Don't assume he can handle it... he's prone to rapid instability.

- Sun

<Sun seemed to choke up in unknown emotion at the thought of another Moon, but he forced it down.>

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.

Wait.. please. Where are you going?

< Eclipse grabbed at Sun's ankle as he walked off from the carnage>

To pay a visit to our friends. I must get rid of all nuisances.

No, they haven't done anything.. Sun!

<Sun turned around>

You know, Sun loved you. Tolerated you and put up with you. But you just had to go and try pull out the thorn, didn't you. Couldn't accept his .. imperfections, could you? Because everyone-- everyone needs to be perfect like you are!

Look at you, even now, before the end of the day you'll have repaired yourself. Always prepared.

But in the meantime....

<A sinister grin spread over the moveable half of Sun's face>

Suffer.

<Sun kicked Eclipse's face in one last time, to add insult to injury>

Who are you...

All a few individuals got from Eclipse's signal was just one word: RUN.

@eclipse83

Coincidentally also intercepted by @lunargrovedaycare

And to @insults-by-sun a single: help...

He just dislikes you.

It's that simple.

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

I am rather annoyed.

I do not care.

This is the last interaction I will entertain.

I do not have an interest in your "suggestions".

Hello Sir or Madam,

I come to deliver an important message.

I've already seen it and I obviously won't comply.

Please go elsewhere if you value your time.
