... I Am Sorry, Sun

What are you...

<Whilst Sun was in a good mood, Eclipse was busy in his head perusing ancient documents. He came across something that made his circuits spark dread.>

Cyndr...

This was written by Sun's mentor

And the title of it read... Sunkiller

But it was such an old document.. why..

How many Suns...

To find the one that survives, the successor

<Eclipse growled and grabbed Sun, practically throwing him on the couch as he boxed him in>

I am speaking to that thing, Sun.

NOW.

Mmm, this sense of freedom.

I do enjoy it.

<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.

<Sun eventually fell asleep, with nightmares plaguing his rest. He remembered Moon. He remembered being owned.>

<He woke up, having scorched the couch and scared the cats. Eclipse wasn't there.>

<Sun tried to breathe, even not needing it. He tried to regulate.>

No, no, no, no.

He's not here.

He's not here.

No hands around your neck.

No drowning.

No--

He's dead.

Am I? Am I really dead?

Still broken, I see. How pathetic.

Even after all this time, you still dream of me.

You yearn for me, don't you.

You liked the pain, admit it.

NO

No..

Go away.

...

What's your favorite memory with Sun?

It would have to be the time we went to a planet where the air functioned like a mild toxin to our systems.

We saw strange colours, strange shapes, and danced together in the red rain.

Seeing Sun stained head to toe in red was a sight. I'll never forget his manic smile either.

He looked viciously unburdened then -happy even-, though it could have just been the gasses.

Wait.

Did they just tell me they .. love me?

Lost a friend today.

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.

It's been 6 days since Eclipse got taken. But what is time really, in space? It could be years, in the place where he was taken.

Our vehicle is broken, and my magic abilities are useless on this stupid planet! There's probably resources here to build a portal manually but I don't know how... oh, if only Eclipse was here...

It's a shame. A real shame.

But your feelings are holding you back. That little stain has made it clear he doesn't want anything to do with you. So why hold onto such hopeless feelings.

Oh I already have so many ideas.

We should kidnap that other Eclipse. He's the one keeping the traitor active. What fun would there be to torment a dormant spirit after all. Oo that rhymes~ Torment a dormant spirit. As much as I hate hurting another Eclipse... He did ask for it by helping the little cockroach. Right after you'd been so nice to him too. Ungrateful asshole. And it seems your dear Sunny has developped a soft spot for him.

So what do you think?

Hmm, you may be right.

On both accounts.

Still, Eclipse did me a courtesy... it would be awfully rude.

I'm not entirely opposed, however.

Do share your ideas, darling.
