Lächeln und Regenbogen

Lächeln und Regenbogen (English translation from German: Smiles and Rainbows) is the first written story centered around the newly developed Paletteverse. So far the overall story is still being developed, from its world to its characters, but there have been some hints of an ongoing story from the creator's drawings and animations.

The creator plans to have this as a series of chapters either in DeviantArt as a literature deviation or through a book in a new Wattpad account.

About
The whole story revolves around the small but flourishing Rainbow Town, lead by the enthusiastic mayor Pansy, who wants nothing but joy for her fellow citizens. At least that's what almost everyone thinks. But as a certain dozen people unexpectedly appear out of nowhere, her true colors then begin to show, as with the true nature of the happy little Rainbow Town itself. What is the truth behind it all, then?

Trivia

 * One half of the characters are based on/represent all 26 letters of the modern English alphabet with some of their names almost themed/named after the names in the NATO phonetic alphabet (more notably with the characters Charlie and Oscar). The other half, however, represent the numbers 1-24.
 * Though this is with some additions, as Þeodore and Ambrose represent letters that were dropped out of the English alphabet at one point, being Thorn and Ampersand respectively. Pi, Tau, and the unnamed hooded figure, obviously, represent the constant pi (π) and its multiples.
 * The hooded guy is supposed to represent 3π, but since the multiplied constant has no "official name", unlike 2π having Tau, they shall be unnamed for now.
 * This was initially to be a nod back to a plot point of one media Al once fixated on, which they later projected such fixation to make this story, as all its characters are based on the alphabet and numbers ...in a way. But additionally it was to fit in with the whole "cutesy cartoony" theme of the story's visuals, though lately it has become plot relevant stuff. This will be elaborated on in another time.
 * The media that initially inspired this also had ties to the fact the whole "Rainbow Town" setting was supposed to take place in a computer-generated simulation, but this idea has since been scrapped.
 * But some aspects of that idea still remains, with the fact the bright blue color Al uses to draw blood in regards to this story was supposed to be a reference to a Windows computer's Blue Screen of Death. But now it's more of a style choice, akin to how the Danganronpa franchise uses a bright pink for its blood.
 * Ironically, despite the title of the story, no one in the cast is made to resemble a color or an emotion.
 * There are themes of smiles and rainbows in the setting of the story, and some characters do have such symbols as part of their design, but that's just about it.
 * The sequel story's title, Unspoken Words, plays around with this fact. The title is supposed to be based around words, which consist of letters, what half of the LuR cast is based on. But one major group ends up being based on colors, fulfilling the Regenbogen part. The Lächeln part, however, isn't-
