#Autumbra's backup Eclipse

[ask-the-amph-greater-universe]

On June 1st, Antumbra’s Kiillcode spends about half the day with Antumbra. But then, around 3 PMish, he just shows up at the support group with birthday gifts for everyone. (Unofficial adoption)

For Cygnus, there is a huge soft weighted and heated blanket. All that exposed endo can’t be comfortable, so a present to make him feel more comfy. It’s custom made in Cygnus’ colors, but if he says a keyphrase (magical enchantment) it can change to a starry sky pattern or to Lunar’s palette. He wasn’t sure if Cygnus would actually be comfortable using or letting other people know about the Lunar palette, so he discreetly handed him the instructions in the birthday card.

Rigel gets a motorcycle. Everything about getting it and bringing it here was difficult. It was also manually modified using his rarely used tech knowledge from Moon to be used with four arms. And comes with a helmet fitted for Rigel’s rays.

Antares gets a magic book Killcode wrote himself, including detailed descriptions of what each spell does, the worst outcome of messing it up, the best conditions for practicing, and how to tell you’ve mastered it. His Moon memories tell him that Lord Eclipses usually steal all the magic in the world, so he figures Antares could use some actual magic training. That way he doesn’t have to rely on his damaged Star.

Black Star gets a plushie of Killcode that says phrases like “I love you son”, “I’m proud of you”, or “No matter what anyone says, you’re a good man” when squeezed. Also another hug, and Killcode saying every single phrase he loaded into that doll to him himself. Naturally this gift is given in private, he doesn’t want to embarrass Black Star.

His own Backup Eclipse gets a body. He personally built his eldest son a whole new body so he doesn’t have to keep using Solar Flare, based on the old VTuber model from og Eclipse’s October takeover. It’s not just a birthday gift, it’s also another apology for the computer thing. He’ll even let Black Star check it over to prove he didn’t add any failsafes or trackers or anything. Just a monitor that will alert him if Eclipse is in danger.

The unofficial adoption has began!

Cygnus at first doesn't show any appreciation towards the blanket. Shoving it off in his typical fashion. Although he will bring it to his room. (Which I have decided is Monty's room) where he will happily use it behind the closed curtain. It is kind of nice to have something to cover up all that endo. Plus he finds the color change enchanting. It's a cool side feature.

Rigel is overly excited for the motorcycle. Definitely not hiding his excitement at all. He is definitely ready to take it for a joyride out in the pizza plexus parking lot. In this star holder Glam Rock Freddy world there is at least wildlife still around. So he's definitely going to have some fun on the old abandoned roads.

Antares is thankful for the book. While he has some spells he memorized that utilize the star. There isn't many spells nowadays that don't use the star. He's had to leave magic mostly behind because of the damaged state of his star. With freeform spells though, He doesn't have to worry. He will tell kill code that this is a very well placed gift.

Black Star is thankful for the plushie. It's definitely something that only stays in his room and he will keep it private. But he very much enjoys to just kind of walk in there, take a break, and squeeze the plush. The hug is nice. He isn't sure how to feel about Autumbra's kill code. Given that they are not attached to Blue Moon in any fashion. He can't quite say they're ignoring him.

I'm sure Autumbra's backup eclipse will enjoy the gift. Black Star will definitely check it for any mischievous stuff. The warning of danger he leaves though. Kind of expected it at this point. He hopes the backup will let him transfer over and give solar flare his body back. Telling him it will honestly be better for his growing sentience.
