Running. Every day, every minute, every hour was filled with running. Twisteds seem to multiply by the days, friends being turned into greedy, strange, mindless monsters whose only reason for life was to track down other toons and turn them into Twisteds to multiply their numbers.

Cosmo, Sprout, and a few other toons were left after the ichor incident. They had rode the elevator down to the lower levels after the top floors of Gardenview Educational Center and museum had been taken over by Twisteds. But no matter how hard they tried to hide, they seemed to find them.

It had started with the more common toons first after their disappearance. Poppy, Boxten, and Shrimpo. Shrimpo’s absence immediately arose suspicion, and that’s where the ichor incident had started.

They had made it down to the giftshop down around ten - eleven floors. The walls were painted a light violet with the shelves a deep brown. The carpets that littered the now dusty and abandoned floors used to be a sky blue, reduced to a more darkened and pale blue.
