Thalia is known as the sweet, funny one of the Muses. There is nothing she loves better than to give laughter to everybody. Except that's hard to do when the gothic beauty in the corner won’t even crack a smile at her. Sure some people don’t have a sense of humor…but to not even crack a smile?!

What starts as a quest to get a laugh quickly turns into a search for love in dark places…

At the Rave next door…

Miseria is not a diva. She’s just your typical complicated, goth knock-out goddess, who might have mom issues and doesn’t want to talk about it. REALLY. Nor does she enjoy being chased around by the perky blond who won’t stop with the corny chicken jokes…

She enjoys the mature and classical, Right? So no way is she interested in a fling with the girl next door. So she shuts the door in her face and moves on in her mesh and leather way.

But sometimes tables get turned, and what you thought was a one-note knock knock joke, can knock you right into love…
