Chapter Text
You were a hidden character of Sugar Rush’s completion character rewards- as soon as all race courses were cleared in 1st place with Va- King Candy 10 times, you would unlock as a character. As you were created and spawned in, you saw the arcade-goers fawn over your appearance, about how “cute” you were. You looked to your new racemates, only to see that they were… considerably shorter than you. You looked to your left, and there it was- a licorice and dark chocolate motorbike that was meant for you. You didn’t know what your name was, but the screen called you “Lolly Licorice”- it didn’t sound quite right per se- but you shrugged and accepted it. It was only a screen name, anyway.
Tragically, you only got to race once, coming in 3rd, before the arcade closed for the night. You felt a little joy in the fact that the players talked excitedly about coming back just to play your new course- Chocolate Falls-with you!
“Well, well! Look what we have here!” A higher voice exclaimed as you suddenly felt a vigorous handshake on your right hand. “Hoo-hoo! I’ve never seen you around before, perhaps you’re an unlock-only?”
The man who greeted you was fairly short, balding with grey whisps on the side of his head, a golden crown, and dressed fit for royalty.
“Uh- sorry, who are you?”
“Who am I? Well, that’s certainly a new way to treat your king!” The man laughed. “You must be my jester, if your outfit doesn’t deceive! Perfect! I’ve only had Sour Bill to entertain me for what, 15 years?”
“Oh wow, I'm not the best at joke telling though.” you manage to blurt out in-between your new king’s rambles.
“Nonsense! Just jingle around and have a good time!”
So, you followed King Candy back to his castle, confused but a tad excited at the prospect of truly living. It’s as if you were born for this- but you were just sleeping for a very very long time! Although, you could have sworn that a “King Candy” wasn’t familiar to you. Must be some old code that your developers forgot to delete.
"Here's your room, sugarlump!" King Candy announced as he brought you to a guest bedroom. It was overwhelmingly... pink. Eugh. Compared to your black licorice and dark chocolate racing suit and general aesthetic, this was hardly the proper place for you.
"Wow uh- thanks a lot, sire." You nod, still grateful for a place to stay nonetheless.
"Now, feel free to come visit me and bring a laugh! This old king needs a jolly little- well, I suppose you're far from little- oh! A big laugh once in a while!"
You laugh nervously as King Candy bids you goodnight. You shut the door and look at yourself in the mirror... You looked... well, you certainly looked! At least your avatar's gender matched your own. You eventually made your way to the vanity, filled with various sugary makeups... was that even sanitary? Your spongecake bed with chocolate fondant sheets were hardly different though. It was Sugar Rush, maybe things just stayed fresh and non-sticky?
