Gardenview Center was once a busy educational center and museum for all to enjoy, until the time it unfortunately closed down due to a mentioned “incident,” or because of safety regulations (or lack thereof). However, even after the closing of this lively place, the Toons that had been created still reside here, and so does the ichor resulting from the experiment...

Lots goes down under the lobby, however. Some of these things can be dangerous.

Basically, a bunch of Toons were infected by this ichor, which turned them into twisted monsters… which we just kind of called “Twisteds.” They not only are strengthened to some extent, but have extra-special abilities that make it harder for Toons to escape them! Thank goodness Dandy’s running his shop. He’ll trade us useful equipment for those tapes we keep finding the Twisteds with.

”Really? Can I help you all out this time? Seems interesting…”

Looey, our Circus Toon, decided he’d be joining a team of Toons descending into the lower floors via the large elevator. He was excited, his tail wagging energetically as he looked towards the steel doors, awaiting the next stops. His team stayed silently skeptical of him or casually chatting about. Looey didn’t know why his team was so skeptical of his skill— probably because he was a Circus Toon and wasn’t going to be taken seriously anyways— but he decided to do his best anyways! After all, they needed everyone they could get down here, and he was going to help them get them through this mess!

“Woah… I’m actually so excited, you guys!”

Looey happily exclaimed, though there was barely any reaction, only a few nods or encouraging cheers that were quickly passing as the elevator descended and the lights slightly dimmed. Looey was really looking forward to this, but whoopsies… his paranoia began to slip back the longer it took to arrive.
