He's Just Confused.

How could they have found the house.

I've managed to salvage the cats but there's not much else left.

This means war.

<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.

Dear Starlight,

Sunshine is fine and so is your bond with him.

His little flare ups are temporary, if intense, and as long as he's not further goaded, he tends to see his irrational reaction for what it is.

But please try not to give him further reason to anger, for your own safety.

You're adept at taking down animatronics, but his magic is nothing like you've ever seen before. Maybe gather some experience with magic first before venturing there.

He will likely contact you once he's done fuming about being interrupted and talked over, and not being able to pet Eclipse's pussycat.

It's a tantrum at best, friend.

His counterpart, Moon, did a number on his psyche and, together with the dark magic coursing his systems, it makes for a dangerous cocktail.

Not to worry though, I am working on the situation.

I'm educating myself in how to soothe his psyche, while also figuring out how to combine my own mechanical ability with external magic.

I'll never have my own, since I don't have a magical core... I am but a remnant of his Moon, after all.

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.

-SSP

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.

Thank you, once more.

And .. you did what you had to. We all did.

E.

@es-startravel

Hello my friends! Starlight here! I do not quite know how time works between different realities, but here it was recently New Year's Day! My first actually! It was rather chaotic the night before (so many human adults acting rather like children, my goodness gracious) but I got to see Fireworks! I loved them, they were so beautiful! They look a bit like how magic feels, if that makes any sense. Color and wonder and light and awe. Or um, something like that, ha ha.

Again, I do not know how time works for you, but regardless I thought I would wish you a Happy New Year! And that this New Year be filled with Joy and Peace for you both!

-Starlight

[He managed to slip out right before Clip crashed]

How are you feeling? Better? Was I successful in removing that virus? Did it feel good?

[Clip groaned as he rebooted, looking around in disorientation]

What ... happened?

[More to himself than anything, before addressing the other Eclipse]

I feel... good.

Sated, even, for whatever reason.

I was so hungry

--Are you alright ?

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.

( @eclipse83)

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...

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!

01111001 01101111 01110101 01101000 01110101 01110010 01110100 01110111 01101000 01101111 01101000 01110101 01110010 01110100 01110010 01110101 01101111 01101011

It's none of your business.

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.
