From Paintings of Decay

Synopsis

In October of 2024, the band Paintings of Decay goes to The Shed to make their second album.

At The Shed, they encounter their friend Celquonious Clintt (he/him) in a catatonic state with Salvia near by. When the band can't wake Celquonious, they decide to smoke some of the Salvia.

They are then transported to the Seven Domains where they encounter the spirit of Celquonious. He tells them he's been locked in a Time Crystal in the Shadow Realm and they need to contact Shadow Wizard Clay K (he/him) in order to rescue him.

On their journey to contact Shadow Wizard Clay K, they find themselves on the planet Swampous where they meet Mortus the Toad (he/him) singing at a river. Mortus is grieving his late spouse Kvur Biht (they/them) and agrees to help the band if they help him avenge Kvur. Kvur had died during the Age of the Muskrat on Swampous, which was imposed by Muskrat Incel King (he/him).

They then travel with Mortus to the Shadow Realm looking for Clay K, but instead meet Gorma the Trickster (she/her). Gorma helps them navigate the treacherous Shadow Realm, where her cunning intelligence rescues them from Brain Rot. After that, Gorma safely delivers them to Clay K.

Once they find Clay K and inform him about the situation with Celquonious, Clay K tells them that in order for him to help, they need to go to Earth to find Sunblock brand Air Duster. Clay K explains that in order to use his powers, he needs to huff Sunblock Air Duster.

The band then travels with Clay K, Mortus, and Gorma to Earth, where they locate a shipment of Sunblock in Fort Collins, Colorado. On their way there, they encounter Muskrat Incel King as he is trying to track down Taylor Swift.

Mortus immediately attacks Muskrat Incel King, causing a massive battle to ensue and triggering the Great NoCo Fallout which devastates Fort Collins, wounds most of the band, and ends in the death of Muskrat Incel King.

The Great NoCo Fallout is so powerful that it sends a ripple through the Seven Domains which wakes up The Supreme God xXlaXx (it) who is so bothered by the sleep disturbance that it travels to Earth to devour it.

Shadow Wizard Clay K is able to divine the fate of the Earth after finding, and huffing, a case of Sunblock Air Duster. He warns the band and they attempt to escape to the Shadow Realm through a wormhole.

In the wormhole, however, they encounter The Supreme God xXlaXx and are forced to engage in a battle with it. They are easily defeated and have to seek refuge in Swampous.

In Swampous, Mortus takes them on a spiritual journey as they regain their strength. Finally, at the end of the journey, the band realizes that the key to rescueing Celquonious is in destroying The Supreme God xXlaXx.

The band and their crew returns to Earth where they find The Supreme God xXlaXx about to devour it. They quickly raise $1,000,000,000 USD to construct a transdimensional antenna which they use to obliterate The Supreme God xXlaXx and direct the energy from it's death to the Shadow Realm, where it bursts the Time Crystal and frees Celquonious.

Everyone then travels to the Shadow Realm where they find Celquonious. Celquonious is safely sent back to the Mortal Realm. Mortus, having gotten his revenge, allows himself to finally die at peace. Gorma is able to run for Shadow Realm President off of her victory over The Supreme God xXlaXx.

The band wakes up in The Shed. Confused, they go home, not having written anything. The second album doesn't exist.
