Tch, Friends.

Interesting...

Hi. There's a bit of a down time at the theater so I figured I could answer some of your asks.

<Eclipse put on one of Sun's favourite songs, way after their conversation with SSP had ended, carrying the tired yellow bot over the threshold of their renewed home.>

<Sun looked around wearily>

Again?

Yes, Sunshine.. again.

Is anything of ours original anymore?

Except the cats, you mean, my star?

I suppose.. I suppose they're all that matter. And you.

<Eclipse smiled and laid Sun on the couch, plugging in his charger>

Interested in food tonight or would you rather accumulate cosmic energy, my star?

The latter is fine.

Alright, I'll make myself a snack then. And I'll feed the cats.

They seem to be doing better at least.

<Sun nodded, relieved, and fell into deep contemplation>

Ofcourse.

I forgot.

This is foreign to you.

...

A moment.

<Eclipse could hear Clip input something on the panel>

Engaging rapid translation technology.

Please stand by.

<Piece by piece, Eclipse could see the code rearrange itself into something more readable, more direct. A binary that made sense, save for a few questionable things here and there. Almost like jargon from a different language: readable but hard to decipher without context. At least Eclipse could make some sense of it now...>

<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?

<Sun smiled brightly>

I am the very original frame of the Sun models, dating back all the way to 2014 in our dimension.

In your dimension's years, it would be -1517... that much time before it even came to existence!

<Sun blinked and smiled again. Eclipse wasn't joking when mentioning Sun was a walking logbook>

That Eclipse of yours sure is a character.

<He was following the conversation as well, as his Eclipse (Clip) returned. Sun could tell something was wrong, but Eclipse would speak when ready. He seamlessly slipped into the conversation.>

It is a grim tale, Starlight, and you might think less of Sun and I for it. Are you sure you want to know?

E.

@es-startravel

<SSP found herself chuckling a bit at her Fazwatch, reading the latest correspondence with Eclipse>

Ha ha, Oh dear, poor Eclipse.

<She shakes her head and tuts>

I do try not to be mean, but he did call me stupid. I work in customer service to some degree. Eclipse should have realised I would have some idea how to reprimand someone politely.

<The animatronic carefully sits herself on the sand next to Sun. She will most likely get sand in her joints, but right now SSP can’t bring herself to care. She idly traces patterns in the sand with her finger>

You said you were a Sun Model. Or at least that Sun Model parts would be compatible for repairing you. Does that mean that you were something like an ordinary Fazco animatronic like me, a long time ago?

If you do not mind telling me, how did you go from that to travelling the cosmos? And Magic?

… The Sun model that will likely be arriving at the pizzaplex back home. Will they be like you?

Thinking of an old friend..

Where are you?

You taught me so much.

All my magic, it comes from your essence, your mind.. your core.

But then you left without goodbye.

Mirror self, are you still out there?

Are you still alive?

Sun?

Why yes. How perceptive.

And since you don't seem to enjoy being one of the matters I attend to...

E., with amusement.

You seem a bit restless lately. I recall you mentioning you are interested in Black Holes. How about for your next project you try to make something that will allow to to safely explore the inside of one? Just an idea I am throwing out there.

-SSP

Are you stupid? That's not possible. The gravitational pull is too strong. Nothing could counter that.

...

.....

Hm... Maybe is anti-gravity... But is it even be possible to create such a thing?

I still have a few more hours of charge to go in @starlightsecuritypuppet-ssp's charging chamber...

Kind of them to let me crash here.

They're charging now, too, I believe.

Poor thing went the extra mile.

I.. see..... so his energy is keeping you alive. I'll look into getting you back.. and then you may leave, or feel free to do whatever you wish, ☆Sun....

... I'll go..

But how will I survive without you? Not being dramatic here, but I think I'm only alive because of .. whatever you're doing with the devices.

[Sun squeaked in mild panic]

Ugh... You can stay. Whatever.

But you explain that to your Eclipse. That's your business.

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.

Hmm, that should do it.

The finishing touches~

Now, Sun will be able to insert the sigils to power up this masterpiece and reveal the fruit of our... mutual labour.

Wonderful.

I should upgrade his entire body to match, someday.

But an arm will do for now.

<Eclipse hummed to the music as he did the last of his tinkering, and caressed the finished product lovingly, pressing a kiss to the fingertips for good luck>
