Right, Whatever You Say Clip~

<Sun had briefly snapped out of his anger by the sound of Eclipse's voice. However, another voice joined in.>

Now, now, my star, remember your counting exercises. You can't let the other out like that for something like this.

Come, let's go home.

<Eclipse, Clip, turned to Starlight and the other Eclipse>

Apologies, friends.. Sun has a.. condition. He's not quite himself in the face of authoritive gestures.

I hope there is no harm done.

...

A tracker on his body alerts me of these episodes, so you're not in any danger as long as I'm around to control them.

<Eclipse began to lead Sun away, who was muttering confusedly under his breath. It was easy to tell there was more to this story... a lot more. But would they really want to know?>

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

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.

Oh but the memories.

The memories... they hurt.

Perhaps... it is time to destroy them.

The holidays are coming ~

I found someone that might help me?

It's another Eclipse!

How quaint... I'm really hoping his search turns up something, because I don't know how many days of charge are left in our spacecraft.

It gets a bit frosty here some days too...

Do I really need a reason?

Maybe I just want to help a fellow Eclipse out. Isn't that enough?

Maybe I want to bury another traitor six feet under.

I am unsure...

☆Sun, as angry as I am, is still someone I hold love for.

I cannot deny, however, that your proposition is tantalizing.

I am of half a mind to destroy everything he holds dear.

Perhaps get him to beg to return to me.

And if he doesn't want to? Well, he won't see the light of day again. He may suffer for eternity, one way or another.

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.

Oh... That doesn't sound good.

Can you see any reason why it's corrupting? Can you stop it? I'll help you if you want to. You just have to say the word.

I am very good with codes, you could say it's my specialty. So if there's anything I can do, don't be afraid to ask.

I think there is some permanent damage already.

But if you can.. can you take a look inside my system? I don't know the extent of your ability, my dear.

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.

<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.

-SSP

<Clip paused, and hung his head>

The effort was never wasted, considering the corrupted Sun would have decimated dimensions if left unchecked.

I ... appreciate the extra measures of concern for my Sun.

... but I suppose that was never the main goal.

<He glanced at Eclipse sadly>

We did what we had to.

<Before pressing one final button>

<Nanomachine technology started reconstructing itself into a chamber>

It'll take about 20 minutes for the diagnostic chamber to be completed. Care for any refreshments in the meantime?

Oh and, I'll need you to connect to the usb slot here to finish activating this when it's done. It's tailor made, after all.

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.
