L-001, otherwise known as Dandicus Dancifer, aka Dandy! The very first toon to be made, the star of the show, the first lethal, and one of the most dangerous twisted. Well-that was if he did become twisted. There was a way for that that had thus far been avoided. Was this entire thing his fault? Well-no. He may not be entirely good, but he also wasn't a monster who would torture his friends. He was right in the middle. Morally gray. No, this entire thing began by Delilah's hands. He was just...dragged into it. The reason for it was not known. Maybe he saw something he shouldn't have. Maybe Delilah thought using him for ichor related things was a good idea. It wasn't. Her, Arthur, and the toon handlers leaving, Gardenview closing...it was just...hard to believe. After all those filmed episodes, all those visiting children-and now it was gone...

Now, some toons becoming twisted didn't bug him at all, such as Vee, or Sprout. No skin off his non-existent nose if something happened to them. He never liked them anyway. Vee especially. And nobody liked Shrimpo, that bully. But there were some he would refuse to allow being twisted, that he hadn't let the ichor experiments touch. Those two lucky ones being of course-his very much cherished pet Rock, Pebble, who was viewed as his little baby, and a great companion. And then the very first toon he met that wasn't Pebble, that had always offered him support when he knew he was struggling, and the toon that earned the tirle of his best friend, Astro. Sure, Dandy was a splendid actor, with a flair for the dramatic at times, but he never could fool his ever-sleepy friend.

But even they'd become distant, because Dandy kept pushing away any attempt of help. And to help his fellow toons survive those treacherous lower floors, he had a little shop, where he'd take the tapes the toons found on the floors and give them stuff in exchange. The items varied from just bad-to decent, to pretty damn good. Sometimes he had just what they needed. Sometimes not. But without those tapes, likely he'd stop recognizing his friends. Of course, he did try to please. Really. But he can't please everyone, it seems.

Time for another run, huh? Let's see what complaints about stock he gets today. Maybe he'll sell them a health kit while knowing they're short on tapes just to spite them all.
