In this world, a lucky few are born with special powers based on a single word. That word is called an "epithet." Each epithet is linked to the user's soul, and no two people have the same one. By tapping into their word, epithet users—the inscribed—can do amazing things that ordinary people—mundies—could only dream of! After a long week of dealing with criminals, wizards, and panic attacks, 12-year-old Molly Blyndeff returns home to the toy store her family owns and operates for some much-needed rest. Unfortunately, her superpowered older sister, Lorelai, has other plans in mind. After a nasty argument, Molly and her friends end up trapped in a world created by Lorelai's epithet, "Augment." Now they must travel through her wonderland in order to confront Molly's bratty older sister . . . and the only weapon they have at their disposal is Molly's considerably less intimidating epithet, "Dumb". The road is fraught with danger, with everything from ogres to spelling tests standing in their way . . . but the thing both sisters are most afraid of is the idea that they might never be close again. Prison of Plastic is the official continuation of the beloved web-animated series Epithet Erased, which can be streamed in its entirety on YouTube and VRV. This sequel is the story of two sisters in a broken home struggling with their magical powers, themselves, and each other.

WARNING: Contains strong language. My name is Ellis DeAngelo. I tend to get caught in the midst of trouble quite often. I'm an unlucky guy, but fortunate to have friends to help me out. These aren't the memoirs of a geisha you'll be reading. And most definitely not some soul-searching discovery that depicts eating, praying, and loving. This is so much better ... or worse, depending on your perspective. To sum up: I think I'm going to die. Not of old age, mind you, or in a tragic accident. My boss is trying to kill me. It all starts when I'm ... You don't really think I'm going into all the details now, do you? I mean, come on - look at the size of the space I'm provided here. I couldn't possibly cover everything in such a small area. That's what the book is for. Start listening! ©2016 Timothy Dalton (P)2021 Soundbooth Theater

Spiders are scary at the best of times but they get a whole lot scarier when your mom and dad aren't around. Hi I'm Dean and this is the story of my Spider Nightmare Apocalypse. Join me and my friends on a strange and magical adventure. And don't forget to bring your lava gun!

Joe Mulligan is looking for love, companionship, and romance… and that’s what the brochure said he was getting. Unfortunately, The Cult of the Gazing Star has no such thing planned for him. They had to lure a willing sacrifice in somehow, and as has always been the case, those looking for love, companionship, and romance are plentiful. So, having hooked the perfect, gullible, and hopelessly clueless candidate, these fanatics will finally summon the subject of their worship: a terrible being from beyond the veil of reality called Mag’rathlak the Observer. And although this devious cult had no intention of finding Joe a worthy companion, he may have found one all the same…

Oliver Hollo sets up his spirit business in High Falls and instantly impresses the locals with inexplicable magic tricks. But his private seances are where his true talents shine. © 2022 Mark Harris ℗ 2022 Soundbooth Theater

Having potentially found love in, seriously, THE most unlikely place -- no exaggeration -- Joe is committed to his agreement with Mag’rathlak the Observer, or, Maggie, as she prefers him, AND ONLY HIM, to call her. The first task at hand: teach Maggie to walk. From there, he can show her his home, Mega City Dave-156 of the Third British Empire, and humanity in general after that. Tall orders for a loser like Joe, but hopefully, he can accomplish all of this before his soaps are on.

In an effort to control Hollo, Fox takes him under her wing. But at their first performance together, Hollo shows her up with an act no one can believe. The crowd goes wild. Livid, Lina Fox demands that Hollo show her his secrets. He obliges but with disastrous results – death and destruction. © 2022 Mark Harris ℗ 2022 Soundbooth Theater

Joe shows Maggie more wonders of the human world, including old video games played with actual controllers. In VR, he’s also able to show her the wonders of nature, hiking, and Spazz metal concerts. But none of this compares to the experience of consuming REAL FOOD, digesting it in a real human body, and the discovery of her favorite flavor, “Starberry.”

Special Agent Sarah Johanson, the psy-operative responsible for breaking into Mag’rathlak’s summoning ritual, hasn’t given up. She’s still under orders from Her Immortal Majesty’s Supernatural Eviction Agency to monitor the Class-3 Cosmic Entity as it… does whatever it’s doing, and so she remains vigilant at her monitor, watching “the subject” as it drinks with Joe and the lads at a pub. Meanwhile, Joe has to practice for an upcoming Underwater Yoga Blaster tournament, which means Maggie has to figure out how to entertain herself for a few days. As she quests to discover the animal life that has attached itself to human culture, she happens to meet Mr. Charles, the owner of a novelty shop that just happens to sell pets. Fascinated by the idea of owning a cute critter of her own, she quickly learns how owners should and shouldn’t treat their pets.

Lina Fox discovers some new talents of her own. But when an old friend returns and tries to use her talents for nefarious purposes, only Oliver Hollo can help. So he and Lina team up. But Hollo demands a steep price. © 2022 Mark Harris ℗ 2022 Soundbooth Theater

In the last episode, Maggie was very naughty. So naughty, in fact, the police were called. Thankfully, sky-diving without a license is a minor offense, and so she was only brought into the station long enough for Joe to come and get her. But Joe's trouble doesn't stop there. Practice has been going great for the Underwater Yoga Blaster tournament, but his teammate Ryan's Full Immersion Pod 3000™ is on the fritz. Hopefully Joe can convince Maggie to bring a shoggoth or two to Ryan's flat in time to save his Full Immersion Pod 3000™, and the tournament...

Maggie and Joe visit the "zoo" that Ryan's uncle works at. But after that, there's no time to waste. Joe and the lads need help with the Underwater Yoga Blaster tournament. When the pressure is on, Maggie shows her worth as a star pilot, but is it enough to win?

Officer Maloney knows something isn't quite right. Her Immortal Majesty's Supernatural Eviction Agency wanted him to drop this whole "skydiving" incident, but his curiosity just won't have it. But Maggie always knows when she's being watched...
