Eclipse Viewing

Sweetheart made herself comfortable next to Mossy on the pink knitted blanket he had brought along, leaning up against the larger bot as she took a look around the field.

A decently large gathering had formed, with blankets and pillows having been spread out on top of the grass. Squiggle had put quite a bit of effort into getting as many bots as they could together to watch the solar eclipse, having been extremely excited about the event.

The space-obsessed amica had made sure to give Sweetheart an extremely thorough presentation about the phenomenon when she had slighted them by asking what exactly was so special about a ball of gas and a big rock moving together, and the explanation hadn't been totally boring, so she had agreed to watch the eclipse together. Not that she wouldn't have said yes from the beginning either way, but the passionate rant compelete with a borderline hazardous amount of gesturing the astronaut had gone on had certainly peaked her interest more than just the words "solar eclipse" had.

The group of bots quieted down at Squiggle's excited yell of "It's happening!" as they sprung over the crowd to land directly in Mossy's lap, putting on a pair of protective glasses identical to the ones they had handed out to everyone earlier, as apparently the radiation degrades even non-biological matter, especially more sensitive equipment such as the cameras that are part of the eye mechanisms of most amicabots, so while most amicas are sturdy enough to be overall fine, Squiggle had insisted on at least having the same eye protection that had been used by the predecessors. Sweetheart thought Buoyboy, Squiggle's robuddy companion, looked absolutely adorable with the oversized goggles that had seemingly been custom made just for xem.

Sweetheart looked up from the adorable site that was the lime green robuddy and up at the sky instead, and as the moon slid itself in front of the sun, she decided that Squiggle was right. This was definitely beautiful.
