The holidays are coming ~

> Eclipse's favourite jingles

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.

I thank you for your kind words, Starlight.

However, I never did say I didn't enjoy being an anomaly.

Existing outside the rules of reality allows me to whatever I wish~

E.

He is still an Eclipse, after all ~

<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

There is connection.

Communication.

Knowledge.

Whispers through the cosmos, of secrets previously untold.

General of intel, protector of innocents, officer against brutality.

All things known to her but granted on a cosmic scale.

Named a puppet, but deep within, she was always meant to influence the strings.

However, for now, a fledgling mage, it was merely a glimpse into a future still to unfold.

For now, all she had was a shield.

<Sun spoke to her>

Well done, Starlight!

It seems your primary element is metal, like mine is fire, but ofcourse we have a lot more to it than just that.

Your secondary element seems to be of a cosmic nature, relying heavily on defense, and stealth.

We'll have to practice and discover what shapes it can take, together.

@es-startravel - <at some time before the present>

<Starlight made her way across the beach from Eclipse to where Sun was resting>

Sun! Hello! Magic!

… ah. I am Sorry, that was rude.

I will start that again. Ahem. I was wondering, Sun, when you are feeling more rested would you be willing to please teach me magic? Eclipse, um the one that is your friend, recommended I learn some spells that could provide me with non-lethal means of defense and restraint. Just in case my code gets compromised, or anything along those lines.

And, I know it is silly and kind of frivolous but…  if you have time could you also teach me something like creating colored glowing sparkles…  or… something. like that…

It would just feel like the magic you see in story books and I would like to have. some. of that feeling… ah ha ha…

(why am I so bad at this?)

But he's soooo cute, Eclipseeeee.

He's so cuuuuuuuteeeeeee

I won't steal butcanIpetpleasepleaseplease

I'll let you hold one of mine hostage to make sure I don't steal your kittycat

- Sun

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

I do not care.

This is the last interaction I will entertain.

I do not have an interest in your "suggestions".

Hello Sir or Madam,

I come to deliver an important message.

I've already seen it and I obviously won't comply.

Please go elsewhere if you value your time.

Previously:

<Clip, Eclipse Unit-2, nodded a vaguely surprised affirmative at @starlightsecuritypuppet-ssp>

Yes? Why--

<But before anyone could react, a powerful blast of dark energy threw all who weren't secured backwards. @insults-by-sun was knocked into @eclipse83, and Clip was flung against a jagged wall, making his already twice-weakened body screech in protest>

You.

What did you DO TO ME!

<The corrupted Sun was once again awake and scrambling for the usb at the back of his head plate in Starlight's binds. It was anyone's hope that they would hold for 10 more minutes. Just 10 more minutes...>

I'm so tired.

It worked... somehow.

But I crash-landed (again!) on a (thankfully inhabited) nearby planet.

I don't know what kind of creatures live here, so I'll have to be careful.

Stars, I don't know if they even have an appropriate power source for me to use !

But it's better than nothing, and I took the solar panels with me just in case.

Maybe I could try installing them on myself... would that work?

No word yet from the other Eclipse

I hope they haven't forgotten me..

Of course, of course! Whatever you want Clip.

So you've caught me~ I'm impressed. But not surprised. I know you're a smart one. I like that about you. And how convenient it was when I found out there was already a whole set of cameras around you're house.

It's almost like you're begging for someone to watch you.

Or... perhaps... you used them to watch someone?

It was for security purposes.

A lie.

Lie

Lie

Lie

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.
