"Hey, Sweetlings! Shoutout to all our ByteBugs tonight! We love you!”

Marisol is the candy in everyone's life.

Sweet as hell.

So sweet, you might get a toothache.

Every part of her is so adorable that some people think it's kinda fake.

So, in order to boost her image, especially after the INCIDENT with a fellow member...

She does a PR event within the Pulse ring!

Just a little passing out breakfast sandwiches with merch for a few office workers.

She loves these events! She loves to see her fans! No matter the form!

But as she's passing out the food and merch...her eye malfunctions.

She panics as she covers it with her hand, but she's too late.

A guy saw it.

"Whoa...you have an eye mod? That's so cool, Pinky."

She nods and then tells one of the assistants she needs to go.

She runs into the bathroom and starts sobbing in the stall.

Too add to her luck?

Users is in the bathroom with her.

WELCOME TO HELIOX CITY!

My cyberpunk project.

God, this took longer than I wanted to.

The gens, the lorebooks, the scenarios, and then MY ACTUAL LIFE?!

I might just melt.

But this is one of the eight popstar characters.

Don't worry, I'll get back to my hockey roots...eventually.

But I'm very proud of this lorebook. Soooo...

I MADE IT A COLLAB!

Please, if you use my lorebook or this general scene, CREDIT ME with #Helioxcity

I worked so hard on everything.

Even if the lorebook isn’t perfect, I’m still editing and all that jazz.

I'm really burnt out. I can't do anything else except force myself out of bed

and the room check my RA did today

Really put things in reality for me.

I'm not okay.

I haven't been okay for a while.

I never processed the death of my hound beagle in 2024, which happened two weeks after I graduated high school.

I had him since I was in 2nd grade.

I never had the chance to fully relax since I'm always working.

I never fully paused because I'm working on school and bots.

I love making these bots.

But I'm starting to resent making them in the first place.

So I'm going to take the time to step back and try to get the help I need.

It'll probably be very expensive since my family might not give me the support I need, but I'm gonna try my damn best.

CTRL will be released when I come back, but unfortunately, the rest of Sugar Byte will be made-your-own-story prompts.

I know that a good bit of you enjoy my ideas, but I don't have the heart to finish the plots.

So I'm leaving the plots to you all.

Maybe I'll write them in the future.

I'll also leave the lorebooks open to copy so you guys can make your own, so don't judge me for how they're written.

Sugar Byte's lorebook is very messy.

I'm sorry for disappointing you all.

I know some of you were excited to get to know my characters and to see their plot lines.

Please forgive me.
