Chapter Text
4am... 2 hours untill opening time,
Another restless night,
How many times is he gonna have one,
Its starting to get annoying
The mechanic sat up, the mattress he made his bed creaking, He stretched his arms above his head, hearing a few joints click quietly,
God he hated mornings, dreaded getting up, wish he didn't have too, but he had too. Its his job.
He stood up from his bed, his legs stumbling as he does, taking time to adjust. He boils a pot of coffee and sits at his desk, drawing in his sketchbook Earth so very nicely bought him, he used it to stim quietly so noone saw him doing so, even in the safety of his own room,
The room was completely cluttered, you'd think someone who came from a Sun code would be able to clear his room, but he never had the energy after work. Cups and discarded food packets on the floor, he never ate much, didn't like the textures in his mouth.
Anyways, it had been a bit, while he was drawing, an hour going by, before he felt his eyes turn to static, suddenly waking up in a white circle room, in front of him sat a desk, he sighed, in his mindscape again, he rubbed his noise bridge, adjusting to the bright light, taking a minute, the TV in the corner being on for some strange reason. Memories playing, his own, playing on the TV. He sighs and walks up to the two figures sat in front of it
"I'm telling you" one starts "that was not needed!"
"I'm not disagreein' Nova," The other responded "I'm just saying dis was understandable"
Solar walks up behind them, looking at the TV to see which exactly they were looking at- oh, Lunar getting angry at him for Jacks existence, but he sits down to watch with them, pulling one leg up to his chest and resting his arm on it while the other two talked,
It took them a few minutes to noticed he was there, one of them jumped up at the sight of him, that's how quiet he was
"Sol- where deh fuck did ya' come from" the smaller said, catching their breath from the jumpscare, which made Solar give a small smirk, he didnt really know how to smile, but he tried.
"I just ended up in here again," The mechanic said, as the taller of the three stood up, helping him up,
"what were you doing before this?" Nova asks, head tilted to the side, readjusting the glasses on their head.
"Uh-" Solar pauses, thinking for a second, what was he doing- "I was drawing in the sketch book"
Nova nods, smiling, "Good,"
"ya ready ta go back out yet or hangin out w' us?" The small asks, taking off their crown and cleaning it
"I have work to do"
"When do ya not I'll ask dat?" The smaller said their head tilting
"Blackhole! Leave him be, we both know how important his job is!"
"I work as a theater attendant-"
"And a mechanic! The animatronics form of a doctor"
"It's not-"
"And you work at de gift shop-"
"Don't forget the building-"
"And de cleanin'-"
"Ok ok!" He chimes in, "I get it- I'm important-"
"You are!" Nova smiles, "now get out there! You have a cat to feed!"
Solar nods slowly, as Nova pushes him to the door, he waves bye to the other two and opens to get out,
A headache, Solar groans his head going in his hands, as he leans forward, the nausea from the switching really making him feel sick. A small fluffy thing jumps on his lap, and he pets it slowly, sighing as he comes out of it. He looks down at the cat in his lap, he smiles, gently picking the cat up and checking them, "hey- you're legs are getting better," he says talking to the cat like it can hear him, and honestly they can, they meow back at him, as he laughs, he stands up with the cat against him, leaving his room to the side room, he pulls a lever which dispenses cat food, and gently puts them down at it, petting them while they eat
"I promise Carrot, the prosetic legs will be done soon"
He sighs and stands up, making sure the cat room is alright, the room is a lot nicer then his own, all built by him with a bunch of cat things around for them, he turns and pets Carrot one more time before leaving,
He gets dressed, putting on his shirt, trousers, boots goggles and gloves, and his bracelet, and necklaces, his bracelet was a trio gift for him and two other Eclipses, The Eclipse of this dimension, and Vessy, a very strange form of Lord Eclipse.
And the necklaces, one a group gift with his cousins, Sun, Moon, Lunar and Earth, and the other one? A small Sun pendant in memory of him, he walks to a small candle in his room, surrounded by Lilys, Dove feathers and other small trinkets, he lights the candle smiling, the only thing he didn't like about this is the lack of a photo of him, but he could never get one.
Solar signed, running his hands through his rays as he finally after what felt like hours, left the room ready for work.
When he got to the stand he was met immediately with a Karen
Great
It's one of those days
