Larry Smith is a famous artist living a careless life in the world of Paradise, a wonderful and beautiful place in which disease, sickness, aging, or death does not exist, a place where beauty flourishes, where robots do all the work and everyone is free to party all day, watch flyball games, lie on a beach, play music or do whatever they want.
In the world where no one dies and no one gets born appears a mysterious deformed figure of William Scorchfield. William is the total opposite of what Paradise is: in both, appearance, and philosophy. He brings forth the past: death, wars, misery, sickness, and the true and ugly human nature. Driven by curiosity, and urge to understand, Larry pursues William to learn the truth of what Paradise really is.

Silver Tongues and Golden Scars (WILBUR x QUACKITY / TNT DUO)
"Quackity?" I spin around, tackling him and tumbling roughly into the wall behind us. I pin his wrist down, tears dropping onto his soon-to-be crimson shirt. I can almost see the blood seeping out of the wounds I intend to slice into his skin. His pupils dilate as he clutches the dagger's hilt before it meets the vulnerable flesh of his neck. "Quackity drop the fucking knife," Wilbur hisses, gritting his teeth. My eyes widen as my grip loosens on the blade and his wrist, the knife clattering out of my grasp as I stare at him. I dip down, sensing the tension hovering between us, feeling his heart hammer against his ribcage. From where sit straddling his waist, I see his face soften at the sight of my dishevelment. "What are you so afraid of?" he whispers gently. * * * Synopsis: Behind closed doors, a casino isn't all glittering lights and card games. It's made of traitors and cheaters... Quackity has always stood in other's shadows, cast out from countries, betrayed by those whom he loved, and laughed at by those whom he thought he could trust. The moment he creates an empire of his own, however, suddenly everyone wants a piece of their own, and it seems as if they'll stop at nothing for a taste of power. On the night of Las Nevadas' grand opening, a traitor threatens to tear down everything Quackity has built, and it seems as if the only one whom he can trust is a man who has an interesting relationship with matches and TNT.

Hopeless Romantic
My love life gotta be the most shittiest thing in the world, seriously, it's like some old dude in heaven just likes to use my heart as an amusement park. Being a bubbly, sweet, free-spirited soul can be amazing right? Well that's what I thought too, SIKEEEE! when life throws at you all the rotten dark souls sent to consume all your light and greedily suck off all your spark, draining you of every bit of energy and good you come with, while having to cure them...Will you still pick the little of you that's left and piece them back together and not let that change who you are? Or will you end up being a monster, hungry for lustful hearts to fill the once occupied space in that dumb thing you call a heart? A once Enchanting glowing heart, now just a void of emptiness and complete crucifying darkness"
