After the Pizzaplex burned down, the building was left to rot in all it's scorched glory. While FazCo. Still claimed to own the property, they did nothing to rebuild or remove the burned remains, leaving it free to the public to scavenge.
AKA I have brain rot and scribbled this in like 30 minutes
Tron city is a peaceful place. Tall modern buildings, fresh flowers lining the sidewalks, and a friendly face on every corner only begin to describe why such a place is perfect for anyone.
"My, my... you should know how much I love parties."
But you don't live there.
"Always been a fan of a lovely bash."
In fact, you (your boss) are about to crumble it's very foundation.
A bear, tall and true- stares at the perpetrator, his light blue eyes holding a mix of emotions. But the ones you can point out the most are resentment...
And sadness.
"It does not have to be this way, Eclipse." He tells the tall figure in front of you, eyes never moving. Never seeing you behind him. You were invisible to the conversation.
The said figure bristles at that, sharp rays ticking like the time bomb he was. Silence envelopes the three of you, before it is shattered by his laugher. Cold and cackling. The very sound of it makes you shiver.
"Oh, but it always had been." He seethes back, laugher long gone- replaced by the chilling tone you've been accustomed to these last few weeks.
The bear's eyes slide to you then, and you freeze as his piercing gaze hold you down. He could blast you into smithereens if he wanted to right now.
"I see you hired a new sidekick. Tell me, will they have to suffer the same fate as the last?" The bear asks him. It was a jab, you knew- and though you weren't privy to see your boss's face, you could feel the anger radiating off him in waves. You clutch the button he'd given you tighter in your hands. Things were about to get really ugly.
"And at whose hands did they suffer by?" The sound of gears grinding together makes you glance his way. You wince at the sight of his clawed fist, the metal denting from the sheer force of it's owner.
"Was it yours, or mine?" Your boss finishes, releasing the fist to flourish his hand in the bear's direction.
Blue eyes fill with an anger of it's own this time, and you feel the waves of his power as he begins to hover in place. You glance worryingly in your boss' direction. You... wouldn't be caught in the cross fire, right?
"You know that was not my intent, Eclipse." The bear grits out, the image of hurt flashing across is features for no more than a second, before it is replaced by anger once more.
Your boss walks forward, the bottom of his shoes clicking with each step he took towards the bear. You quickly try to follow, not having nearly as much flare as he did.
The streets are empty. Someone must've evacuated them beforehand. A single red flower catches your eye. Ah, how pretty.
"Ah, and yet- it happened."
A boom shakes your entire body. The sound mixed with an electric pulse. Each thump almost makes you lose your footing. The bear has shot towards your boss, body flying with a speed inhuman. They lock hands, before your boss throws the bear into the glass of a building nearby. Sharp shards burst and fall onto the ground below. Sweat beads and drips down your neck as you stand helplessly in the mist of it all. Far too close.
But you could not run. You still had the button that he'd given you.
And you had to stay, for her.
Your heart beats rapidly in your chest, and your mind blurs as it tries to keep up with the ongoing fight. Gravel is smashed as this time- your boss is thrown into it. Air refuses to leave your lungs at this sight. If he lost, then you would surely be sent to prison- no one would be able to take care of her in your leave. Oh, you were so stupid. Stupid, stupid, stupid-
A clawed hand reaches out from the dust and debris of their fight, and you can't help the relief that floods you as you spot the dark crimson metal. Within a second, your boss is back on the bear, but you don't miss frayed ends of a wire poking out from his faceplate. He was getting hurt.
They both were.
You can visibly see the deep claw marks on the bear's chest, combined with the dents on his arms. You did not know his name- truthfully, only learning about such machinery really existing fairly recently. Where you came from, super powered bots like him only existed in the comics you'd scrap up from the throw away bins for her. It was the only thing that would really bring light to her eyes.
And now, you were helping the opposite team fight him.
A loud clang of metal on metal snaps your attention back to the fight. It seems the bear had just thrown off your boss, holding even more wounds than before. He holds his shoulder, glaring deeply at your boss.
And then he looks at you.
A brief look of guilt- followed by resolution.
Time slows down, and you watch as his working arm raises, palm open and facing your way. Blue sparks flicker in the center of it, before it lights up full force. Your heart plummets. Even if you ran, you would not escape the blast. You were going to di-
Something grabs you, the grip firm, as you're swung around behind the figure. You look up to see the whites of the eyes of your savior. Your boss.
"Ah, almost lost you there." He tells you softly, letting a hint of emotion flow through his words as he grinned from above. "We'll have to go through safety training when this is all over."
You blink. You look behind him. There's a force field. Oh, okay. You're alive. Awesome. Your legs almost give out from underneath you.
He then turns around to face the bear, and you only catch a glimpse of his expression before he does. He was grinning like a madman- but he was furious.
"I thought you were past foul play, but I guess not."
The bear does not answer, but blasts at the force field once more. Through the bright light, something catches your eye. A green blur. Slinking behind a building high above the three of you. You quickly put two and two together.
With the button moved to one hand, you hesitantly tap your boss's arm. His head snaps to face you, eye quirked in a manner of question. You pause, how were you going to explain this to him?
You raise your free hand, slowly moving your fingers to make them crawl upward. Seeing this, his frown only deepens. Another blast hits the force field, making you flitch. You look at him again, determined. You point at the tower you saw the green... whatever it was slink behind.
Your boss follows your finger's direction, and for a moment- he's still very confused... But then he sees it. And it clicks. He grins, manic expression back in place. You sigh in relief, just happy he somehow understood you.
You were mute. Unable to utter even syllable since you were young. You can't remember how it happened, but since then- you couldn't talk for the life of you. And you had tried. And tried. And tried.
It made getting a job, especially in your position, very hard. As if it wasn't enough already.
With a flick of his hand, your boss sends a mechanical disk flying. In the air, you can spot the spikes that pop out from around it, spinning rapidly as it charges towards it's target.
And it doesn't miss.
High up on the building, glass shatters from the impact, the wall of it imploding. You hear a far off growl, before you suddenly see the green blur up close. Too close.
A gator, your mind supplies within the second that you see it, jumps from the building. But then disappears. You can't stop the fear that overcomes you when he suddenly appears again, right in front of another force field that your boss put up beforehand. The gator strikes it dead on, and it shakes from the impact. Your boss tisks. "As hot headed as ever, Monty."
As you take a mental note of the name, Monty growls vehemently. Red shades lower just enough for you to see the absolute rage in his eyes. He strikes it again. Another blast bursts on the other side of you from the bear. Your mind whirled at all the possibilities of your demise. You felt trapped.
In the mist of your troubling thoughts, you look up at your boss for any sign of a plan you really hoped he had. But to your dismal, he only carries that same crazed grin.
... was that a good thing???? Panic was very well set into your entire system. The onslaught of loud noises did not help. Truthfully, you were suprised you didn't have a panic attack yet. Must be the adrenaline.
You feel a clawed hand gently tap your shoulder, making you whip around in his direction. Your boss is close to your ear, putting him at an odd angle as he leans over to your height. His voiced comes out hushed, making sure only you can hear him. "You've done very well so far... when I give you the signal, click the button."
You eagerly nod. The sooner you clicked it, the sooner this all would be over with. You hoped. You really, really hoped.
Pleased with your answer, he steps away... and keeps stepping. To your shock and horror, he keeps going until he is out of the safety of the force field.
Monty is on him far to quick for your human eyes to keep up with. And just like with the bear, they begin to fight.
They blows they share are much more volatile when compared to the first fight. You guess it was because of how head on Monty was. Each strike seemingly more powerful than the last. You also had a feeling that Monty could not fly like the bear could, watching as he got tossed- only to latch onto a building and jump down.
The sound of another blast to the force field makes you look in the bears direction. He was still aiming towards you. Why?? It didn't make any sense.
The sound also catches your boss's attention, making him glance your way.
A second. A second was all it took for Monty jab him right in the face. A second, and the loud sound of metal colliding with metal filled the already noisy atmosphere. You watch in horror as your boss grabs the right side of his face. And your eyes slide to the gator, who wore a look triumph.
"Never take your eyes off of your opponent- isn't that what you taught me?" His voice comes out incredulous. Hauty.
"Yes, well-" Your boss slowly eases his hand away, revealing a flurry of sparks. "I also had taught you something else- ah, but it seems you might need a touch up on the lesson."
Much to your suprise, Monty takes the worded bate, frowning as he processed the words he was told. "What?" He asks.
Your boss grins. "In every fight, you must always remember to see the bigger picture."
And then he looks at you.
You click the button.
A boom- much louder than anything you've ever heard, shakes the very ground beneath you. And then you see it. In the distance, a large building crumbling. Dread drips and pools in your stomach with an icy cold chill.
What have you done?
"What have you done!?" The bear yells. But he's not looking at your boss. He's looking at you.
"I've hidden seven more in the city, all timed to set off one after the other." You boss nonchalantly comments. "Ah, and you might want to hurry. You're little sidekick is tied up to the second one."
The first look of fear you've seen throughout the whole fight flashes across the bear's eyes. He then, whips is head towards Monty. "Call the others. Tell them to search the city."
Confusion takes over Monty's face. "But what about-"
"Forget them." The bear spits. "We'll deal with them later."
"Do try.. you know how much I hate boredom." Your boss comments, walking back over to you with out a care in the world.
The bear looks like he's about to say something, but bites it back. He then hovers higher, quickly flying off. You look towards Monty, who was staring the two of you down.
"Hurry off now," your boss waves (which was more like a flick) him off.
You hear the gator growl at the two of you one more time, before going on all fours, sprinting in a different direction than the bear.
Your boss taps your shoulder, and you don't realize- but your hands are shaking, clutching the button for dear life. "That's useless now, you can drop it." He tells you.
And with much concentration, you finally do, your fingers stiff as you move them.
The button drops on the ground with a clang. And you boss steps on it, crushing it beneath his foot. "Now," he puts his hand on your back, his touch without any of the violence that he had for the other two, and pushes you forward. Before you know it, you're walking with him.
The familer sight of the ship you've become accustomed to seeing flies down near the two of you, doors opening for you to get in. You walk up it's steps with him, hearing the sound of it sealing close as you both board.
And for a while you keep walking... but then your pace slows, making him look at you.
You stare at him, the words you so dearly want- need to ask unable to come out. You needed to know the consequences of what you had just done. Even if you could never forgive yourself afterwards.
Your boss leans closer to your level. Staring at you for a moment longer before speaking. "The only thing that button you pressed will destroy, are a few buildings." He stands back to his normal height, eyes forward. "I assure you that."
You push yourself to walk in front of him, taking in a shaky breath. You jut out your hand, holding it in the air. Waiting.
He pauses- before slowly, tentatively, placing his hand in yours. You shakily scrawl out the word 'sidekick'.
Your boss rolls his eyes. "That tower doesn't have a bomb. And even if it did, Freddy would've saved him before it went off."
You're unsure if you can trust his words, but you have no choice but to. You let go of his hand, nodding.
Your boss stiffly nods as well for some reason. "Good. Now that that's settled- you can rest. I'll be in the repair room if you need me."
Your eyes snap to his once more. How could you forget!? He had gotten hurt too!
The right side of his face had a huge crack going down it, and the eye on that said was completely shot- that's where the sparks were coming from. He also had a few dents, though it was no where near as much as the bear had. You couldn't see what shape Monty had been in, him moving way to fast for you to keep up with.
As if he can read your mind, your boss speaks up once more. "I've handled worse, I assure you." He pauses. "You should go to your room, you have things you have to attend to, yes?"
You freeze, before nodding hesitantly. Did he know about her- oh, of course he did. There was no way someone like him couldn't.
With that, he waves you off- and you quickly run through the ship, traveling to your room.
Once you reach the door, it quietly slides open, sensing you. You slowly tiptoe in, walking over to your bed.
And there she was, all tucked in. Her red poofy hair was a mess- you'd have to comb it later. She had drool sliding out of her mouth as she slept.
But she was safe. And that's all that mattered.
You lean over, gently patting her forehead. Her brows pull together, and she pulls her hand out of the covers to rub her face. She falls back to sleep with ease.
"Goodnight, Mable." You whisper to the little girl. A sister related not by blood, but by the past to both shared with each other.
You told her you'd both get out of the orphanage, and you did.
And now, all you had to do was keep your job a secret. Your very dangerous, and risky job. You sigh.
Solar Lunacy’s Y/N can be dangerous and powerful when Eclipse is around
Content warning: this is a theory post using all available content about Solar Lunacy’s universe. There will be several spoilers. Also I’m not saying that I’m right but I have a tendency to guess a story’s end before it happens and spoil everything to everyone so please beware and don’t hate me if you decide to read that post, I am not responsible for your hatred, you did that to yourself.
I saw a post about how Sun also deals with the glitch’s “intrusive thoughts” toward the reader (even though I do not agree with everything in this post because I like to think Sun’s fidgets could be from some sort of robotic ADHD), but I haven’t seen anything about Eclipse yet. Probably because we’re lacking a lot of context, but I’m going to use the bonuses + doodles of Solar Lunacy here.
It is explicitly said that Eclipse won’t hesitate to kill for the reader, we have little crumbs that prove they already did (or will, considering the canonical timeline).
If you want more context and explanations for this, I think you could resume it in two points:
Sun and Moon are affected by the glitch at different levels but they still have moral values and boundaries, whereas Eclipse do not. It haven’t been explained yet where Eclipse comes from in the SL universe, but if it’s linked to the glitch or the fact that the Daycare Attendants are sentient, and he haven’t been programmed/isn’t supposed to exist, it could explain some things. What we already know is that Eclipse is a sort of fusion of Sun and Moon, and I think the fact that Sun and Moon’s filters have been affected at different levels and on different points by the glitch could play a role in Eclipse’s lack of moral values. If the filters’ errors got mashed up, it could result in a total lack of boundaries.
Eclipse is completely in love with the reader. Like, take a normal living being’s level of love for their partner, and double it. That’s literally it. Sun and Moon’s love for the reader got (one more time) mashed up, and it give you this kind of unconditional love Eclipse has for you.
So, take a very, very tall sentient animatronic, with inhuman strength, no moral or care for others’ lives, and a probably unhealthy level of love for you. I’m not saying that you will use it badly, but if you were an evil little piece of shit and you wanted to, you could basically get him to threaten or kill anyone you want, just by using the right words.
So yeah, extremely dangerous and powerful. It’s kinda like having poisonous skin and anyone who tries to touch you die. Except they’re not poisoned but rather dismembered by a tall as fuck hijacked celestial jester.
What I still wonder is whether or not @bamsara will make the reader aware of this fact (but I strongly think they won’t because it would mean making the reader aware of the DCA’s love for them and at this point they would rather suffer an eternal agony than making Sun and Moon confess), and in the scenario where they would, how would the Y/N react.
Also, I’m thinking: if Eclipse could do basically anything for the reader, it may means that Eclipse’s weakness… is the reader? And we know that Glitchtrap will erase the DCAs memories,
but I think at some point Vanny will also kidnap the reader or something, and that might be what she's talking about in that doodle:
Or maybe I'm wrong and Vanny's talking about the Daycare Attendants' memories. I'm not quite sure on that part yet.
But anyway, thank you for listening to my ted talk, now that this is out of my system I can finally die in peace. One more time if you hate me for guessing half of the plot remember that I warned you and you chose not to listen so take your responsibilities and leave me alone.

The sounds of children's laughter bounced off the walls of the daycare. Some were sitting in the corner, drawing pictures and making crafts, while others were playing a variety of different games with the other children from jump rope to house. Though, there was also another group of children, these kids were playing tag with the daycare attendant, Sundrop, Sun for short. As the name implies, he was bright and warm like the sun itself.
Literally.
The sun animatronic chased after the giggling kids, who all sprawled into different directions in an attempt to avoid his grasp. The daycare was as hectic as ever though, behind the office counter that was located near the daycare's entrance to the play area, sat a lone person. A gentle smile on their face whilst they watched over the kids, who invested themselves into their activities. Though, this was nothing out of the ordinary for our dear, daycare assistant, (Y/N).
It seemed like the day had passed by in a flash, soon enough, it was time for the children to say goodbye and get ready for their parents to pick them up. (Y/N) was always more than eager to stand next to the tall animatronic as they helped the kids return to their parents. Nothing new, a few hugs from the children while other's screamed at the top of their lungs and waved to the two daycare workers, who waved back. It wasn't long before the last child was picked up, leaving Sundrop and (Y/N) to be the only two people left in the daycare.
A sigh left (Y/N)'s lips as they sulked their shoulders at the thought of having to clean up after the children. Sure, playing games with the kids was a great time, the aftermath of it wasn't such a pretty sight to behold. "Well, it's back to work," they groaned, dragging their feet along the floor as they slid down the slide to the play area, not willing to go down the stairs and through the doors, before exiting the ball big and reaching for an empty glitter glue bottle off the floor. They then began to pick up items off the floor, the sound of bouncy, mechanical steps could be heard behind them and it wasn't long before the familiar sun animatronic stood in front of them.
"I know what'll cheer you up!" he said, his smile seeming to grow bigger, if that was even possible. "I'll let you play any song you like while we clean up! Just, no naughty words,"
(Y/N)'s ears perked up at the offer, quick to take out their phone before shoving it into the tall animatronic's face. Well, more like his chest as Sundrop was significantly taller than them. It was pretty frightening to think what might happen if a child slipped through his fingers as falling from a height that tall would lead to at least a few broken ankles.
As they thought more about the possible injuries that the children could get from being picked up by Sun, they were brought back to reality from the feeling of a tap on their shoulder. (Y/N) wasted no time in grabbing ahold of their phone from Sundrop's hands before making their way behind the security desk and plopping down on the seat.
Soon, the daycare's usual theme faded out, replaced by an upbeat tune of a pop punk song that began to blast through the speakers. (Y/N) lightly tapped their foot to the beat, small head-bops at the sound of the soft guitar strums. Sun was pleasantly surprised by their music of choice, expecting something different, though he wasn't complaining.
Whilst Sun gave the daycare floor a sweeping, (Y/N) stood up from their seat and made their way to the toppled cushion towers, building them back up before moving onto the next one while they hummed the lyrics to the song. Their smile only grew as the song progressed. It wasn't long before they started to sing along, the occasional dance step flowing into their work.
"Hit me with them good vibes, pictures on my phone like," (Y/N) sang out loud, their mood having done a whole 180 from their previous tired disposition. Their steps were bouncier and lighter, similar to Sundrop's, who had paused his sweeping to watch his fellow coworker dance their heart out. Though what he didn't expect was for them to skip their way over to him and grab a hold of his hand.
"I'm dancin' more, just a little bit. Breathin' more just a little bit," Sun continued to listen to (Y/N) sing, joining into their dance. While there was no set dance style, the two were enjoying their small dance session. It didn't matter if all they were doing was skipping or spinning each other around, all that mattered was the fun they were having at the moment. "Woo! Woo! A little bit of sunshine!"
This moment, while small, reminded him of the way (Y/N) would sometimes play similar songs and dance with the kids as they twirled, skipped and jumped around with glee. It was definitely one of Sun's favorite moments, looking over the kids and seeing them having so much fun with the daycare assistant, some even grabbing a hold of (Y/N)'s hands and spinning around with them. He was always on the outside looking in but, oh, what a sight it was to be in their same shoes, not a care in the world other than this single moment of absolute bliss.
"A little bit of sunshine!" Sun sang the last line, having finally given into the song as he watched (Y/N) attempt to catch their breath from the impromptu dancing. Even if their body was desperate for air, the undeniable grin on their face and breathless laughs were more than enough of a clue to tell that they were happy.
That happy moment was soon soured as the lights noticeably began to dim. (Y/N) was quick to take out their phone as they checked the time. "4:50, figures," they muttered under their breath, putting their phone back in their pocket and turning their attention to Sun. "I'll see you in an hour, alright? We'll do some crafts once you're back, I promise," Sundrop gave a nod and a wide grin in response. He also gave (Y/N) one last wave as he watched them make their way behind the security desk once more. While (Y/N) waited for Sundrop to do his thing, they scrolled through their playlist, looking for a song that they were sure would be great for the dark, nighttime aesthetic they were forced into at the moment. Their full focus was fixated on finding a song, but that didn't last long once they heard a familiar voice.
"Missed me?" the voice asked (Y/N) as they lifted their head up to meet eyes with the owner of the familiar voice. White pupils staring deep into their soul as they smiled, not at all fazed by the moon animatronic's staring. Sundrop's other half, Moondrop. It seemed that Moondrop was set on this staring contest he had begun. Though the game didn't last long as (Y/N) was on the move again, lifting up and out of their chair with ease, now in front of the counter. The sound of soft guitar strums began to fill the daycare along with the soft hums from its daycare assistant.
"Days, seem sometimes as if they'll never end," Moon's pupils turn to pinpricks at the sound of (Y/N)'s voice. He hadn't been expecting them to sing along with the song. Yet, he found that he didn't mind. His eyes softened at the sight of the daycare assistant's calm and relaxed expression as they sang. It was comforting in a way, even if he wouldn't admit it to their face. Moon had caught a few sightings of (Y/N) singing to the children, this song was definitely their go to lullaby. For what reason? He didn't know, but this song had found a special place in his heart because of that. The way that they were so gentle and caring towards the children. He'd be lying if he said it didn't make his heart flutter.
"But after sunlit days, one thing stays the same, rises the moon," He kept his eyes on them as they sang, their fingers swiping on the tablet screen to look over their daily nighttime routine. The time passed, the gentle strumming filling the room with (Y/N) and Moon enjoying the other's quiet company.
Moon now understood why the children fell asleep with ease whenever (Y/N) sang to them. Their voice was perfect in every way. The way they talked, how their face softened and the tone in their voice whenever a child would ask to be comforted after a nightmare. "Oh-oh, close your weary eyes. I promise you that soon the autumn comes to darken fading summer skies. Breathe, breathe, breathe,"
Just like that, oh how he admired their gentle approach to just about anything. It was… was he really that fond of the daycare assistant?
His eyes glanced over at (Y/N) who was having the time of their life singing while checking off tasks, unaware of the moon themed animatronic that was watching their every move with a confused look in his eyes that increased when (Y/N) began making their way towards him.
"Days pull you up just like a daffodil, uprooted from its garden," Moon watched them take his hands in theirs before pulling him off the counter to join them on the cushioned floor. (Y/N)'s smile was warm and gentle, fingers running over his knuckles before looking up at him. "They'll tell you what you owe, but know even so, rises the moon,"
A few minutes passed before the last chord was strung, a more mellow and solemn aura blanketing the daycare, almost like a cool shadow on a hot summer day. Though, it didn't last long as the lights began to slowly flicker to life. "See you tomorrow, alright, Moon? Also, take care,"
Moon was a bit stunned by their last sentence, unable to resist returning the kind words, even if his tone wasn't as sweet as theirs. "…take care." Those are his last words as (Y/N) could have sworn they saw a small smile grace his face before a familiar, bright grin replaced it.
"Hey, (Y/N)! Ready to do some arts and crafts?" Sun asked, more than ecstatic to do something fun with the daycare assistant that promised to have fun with him and returned the same high, upbeat energy, if tamer than his.
"Of course, I'm more than happy to hang out with my favorite animatronics," Sun's eyes widen a bit, surprised at the plural before he returns back to his happy disposition. He was glad that (Y/N) not only liked having him around, but also accepted and adored Moon as well.
"And we're happy to hang out with you, (Y/N)! Even if Moon won't admit it," Sun leans in to whisper that last part, making them laugh a bit, smile brighter than before at the mutual feelings. "Now, why don't we go and draw? I have a great idea for my newest drawing!"
A single nod from (Y/N) and the rest of their shift was spent hanging out with Sun. They even wrote a small note for Moon, making plans for tomorrow, where and when the sun shine and the moon rises.
