(New character! Looks like I need another font. For now they can have this one with KC :>
The hallway seemed longer than usual. His footsteps echoed throughout the corridor in an almost haunting fashion, but it did little to deter him from his objective.
Moon had mentioned that things were going missing in the theater, and Eclipse was getting tired of convincing him, time and time again, that Blood Moon had nothing to do with it.
Besides, he needed to check in with him after...
He shakes his head so hard it rattles his sight, forcing him to blink a few times to clear it. He can't think like that right now. It'll distract him. Besides, Kill Code had to practically shove Eclipse out of the room after a day of his hovering, so surely he must've been fine if he had the strength to do such a thing.
But what if something has happened since I was last here?
Eclipse would never admit that he speeds up his pace after that thought, that his strides become longer and more pronounced. The jog to the door takes him little more than a few minutes with his increased pace, claws coming out to grasp the handle before he pauses.
He can hear talking coming from inside the room. He strains his audio receptors, trying to make out any words through the surface of the door.
He catches little more than the tone with which the voices speak in, calm and almost warm in nature. He hesitates far longer than he intends to, listening attentively to those voices mingling together in the room beyond.
One is Kill Code.
The other isn't.
His claws close around the handle, shoving the door open with much more force than necessary. It crashes back against the wall with a SLAM that startles Kill Code and-
Eclipse narrows his eyes. Who the hell is that?
It looks like a fucking hedgehog.
Round marigold eyes stare back at him, curiosity clear on its face despite the fact that its mouth is held in a seemingly permanent grin, sectioned off by bars like a jail cell. Orange and yellow spikes of various shades protrude from its head, giving it the appearance of a cartoon character after a particularly intense gust of wind.
It stands just slightly shorter than Eclipse does, maybe half the height of Kill Code. Eclipse looks it up and down multiple times, studying it closely.
He's so surprised by its close proximity to his father that he doesn't immediately notice what is clutched in its hands, but when he does register it...
A stuffed animal. A grey stuffed animal with worn fabric and rough fur, carefully stitched together in places. A cute little black plastic nose, turned at an odd angle, haphazardly attached to its face as if having previously fallen off.
A single brown eye, clouded with age.
Eclipse lets out a rabid, guttural snarl.
"How dare you touch him-"
The scarred animatronic surges forwards with the ferocity of a wild animal, a crazed glint gleaming from the depths of his single functioning eye.
The smaller animatronic-hedgehog-thing makes no move to back away or beg for mercy Eclipse is surely not willing to give, instead standing with its head tilted slightly to the side, watching him approach in a calm manner.
But, before Eclipse can reach the intruder, Kill Code blocks his path. It narrows its eyes into glowing red slits, glaring down at its fuming son.
"Are you crazy?!" Eclipse hisses, one of his hands bolting out, grabbing hold of Kill Code's arm, pulling him closer. The larger animatronic watches Eclipse carefully, but makes no attempt to pull away.
