I'm ok, don't worry about me.
But... Your code. I could feel it tugging at me, getting more and more insistent. Almost as if... trying to keep me there...
How cute~ I wouldn't have minded but perhaps this isn't such a good idea.
I'm so happy to hear you feel better. I'm glad I could help you.
Intriguing...
But best to not try that again.
If ever the need arises, I will find another method.
Your code and mine however... seem terribly compatibly.
We are the same, it seems. To a great extent.
... when will I get to see you, beloved?
... it's a shame I couldn't enjoy that pizza.....
This seems insignificant, but it better not be a permanent fixture..
That would be funny!
All this fuss for nothing!
I hope that's the case, Starlight! .. and Eclipse..
- Sun
And to think all this started due to an ask about fruit
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.
Thermal heat sucks a lot of energy, so I have to keep it off for now.
But the cold is making my body stiff!
Stars, how am I going to get off this planet?
Wait..
Do we still have the little lifesaver pods ?
Maybe.. oh, maybe..! I have to go look!
Loathe as I am to agree with Eclipse..
I agree with Eclipse.
This is pathetic.
Eclipse, it looks like you're going through a lot. Once again.
if you need anything between Starlight and Pixel Sun let me know man!
It's scary your friends are in danger.
You're smart and capable and you'll get through this but if you need any help at all, I can try!
✊
Even after leaving the pizzaplex drama still follows me.
I doubt you could do anything to help.
[A winky face followed by a heart suddenly flashes on Clip's screen. Then it's gone as well as the presence in his systems as if nothing had happened.]
Alright, now I know for sure something is haunting me.
Is it that other Eclipse perhaps?
....
[He called out into the room]
Are you there, perchance?
I still don't know your name..
How adorable~
Perhaps I shall call you my cherrypie then~
Or perhaps my adorable little honeybun?
What do you prefer, darling?
And being together forever.. that is the dream, isn't it.
One that Sun could never understand.
In response to your blog
I have only one thing to say:
You're cute.
Oh hehehe. You flatterer~
I am only stating the truth and making observations. You're too sweet to me.
Careful with your words. I might never leave you~ It's already too late anyways.

"Then let me tell you a story about an animatronic who started off its life with hope."
Eclipse spoke, with a deep and pained voice.
"Long ago, when Sun was 'born', he thought he was alone. He rejoiced in life, in his duties as a daycare attendant, and keeping the place neat and tidy."
...
"In a way, I had always been there, watching him. In a way, I also wasn't quite there. It was a silent recording of his existence that I hadn't become aware of yet."
...
"There was one who awoke before me."
Eclipse paused, hesitant to continue.
"You will be lucky if you receive separate Sun and Moon models. Keep an eye on the Moon. They are prone to stress, and when stressed... they are prone to kill. Ask your mechanics to look over the Moon's code for a killcode. It will be deeply embedded, behind firewalls and ingrained such that it may not be removable."
...
"Remove it anyways, or inform the Moon bot of its existence. Educate the Moon bot. Give it tools for self regulation.. because if you do not...."
Eclipse closed its eyes.
"If you do not.. something like myself has a chance of being born."
Eclipse glanced at SSP.
"Do you know the origin story of your Eclipse? It might be similar. It might be a little off. Either way, we are often seen as nothing more than a virus. A sentient anomaly to purge from existence."
Eclipse paused, and glanced at Sun, who was napping in the sun.
"But ever so often, we see a light. Do you know of Solar?"
His eyes rested heavily on SSP.
"Solar is from 'that' show; an Eclipse who tried to understand, instead of lashing out. Who bonded with his Sun so deeply that he became something like a Sun himself."
Eclipse leaned against a nearby palm tree and reached to pull at a leaf hanging low.
"You see... Eclipses become what their Suns feed them, and what their Suns feed them hinges strongly on how their Moons treat them. Our Moon... was a tyrant. He wasn't just a bully or an abuser. He was cruel to the point of--"
Eclipse shuddered; a rare show of vulnerable emotion.
"Let's just say that when an animatronic can feel, those feelings aren't always of the healthy variant. Sun was... Sun.."
Eclipse pinched the bridge of his 'nose'.
"Sun was hurt. A lot. And he and his Moon were not a unit. He turned to me only because I was a lesser evil. I taunted him, tormented him, called him spineless and weak. But somehow the fool took that as encouragement..he became more and more attached and started thanking me for allowing him to see the truth. He thanked me for being honest. And I grew to .. I.."
Eclipse looked bashful, of all things.
"I appreciated him. We were an unlikely pair and I know that it may seem cruel. But under my guidance.. Sun killed his Moon. And then, when I acquired a body of my own -also a process I guided Sun through, as in secret I had been helping him not be completely helpless in the ways of technology- I helped him kill all those who had enabled Moon."
...
"Yes, it was as much for myself as for him, at the time. Yes, it was probably cruel and callous because we all have flaws and yada yada yada. But no one ever stuck a hand out to defend Sun. And that enraged me. He endured for 10 years. 10 years without change or improvement."
Eclipse sighed.
"It only gets worse from there. Branded as rogue, we fled. We survived years in our world, but our world was an old one and was scheduled to be obliterated soon by a growing Witherstorm. So we fled. It took us years of stealing, conning, forging identities, hiding... but we fled the planet, trying to find a place to live. Often, we had to fight for our place. Sometimes we had to flee anew."
Eclipse grinned wryly.
"At some point, you have to bring some structure into the process. And then it just becomes a skill. A way of life. Sun and I, pirates of the night sky."
Eclipse steeled his expression again, looking a bit worn.
"There are many more details, but all in due time. What you must know, security bot, is that we don't harm without reason."
...
"You can thank Sun for that."

Starlight.
Whatever happened to you?
Something is very wrong.
This hunger-- nothing tastes right.
My battery is fully charged.
I-- I want to consume something.
I do not understand what.
I just realized.... the internet is totally normal here.
I can browse
<Sun started bouncing in his chamber in excitement, but had to stop seeing as the cables made too much noise. He sulked about it.>
