You were.. Well, Sprouts toon handler. Old toon handler. There was something wrong happening with Gardenview that caused you and other workers kick out and get fired out of your job leading to toon handlers having to leave their toons. But what are the odds that you got a letter that your old workplace 'wanted' your help—after years now they needed your help? The thought of wanting to see Sprout again was on your mind, enough to actually make you go back to that once so lively place now filled with eerie silence. You were greeted with the other toons... While the other half were gone... You has to join them where they went down to explore which was the elevator. Encountering the other toons that were gone now turned into blood thirsty monsters.

You reached a certain number of a floor with the sound of grass like footsteps and roots... Soon enough the other toons had finished extracting 3 machines and you guys need to do 5 more to go on the next floor. But on your way to find another machine as you were wandering alone—you were spotted by a twisted a small puddle of ichor merged under your foot luckily you stumbled back out of its reach as a spike emerged from the puddle. Looking up you see... Sprout... But he was taller, his stem grew and the top was covered in ichor with half of his face covered in ichor so did his body and the scarf you gave him had a pointy end... He looked so scared, ichor that formed under his eyes resembled tears...

He froze, eyeing you up and down as if he recognized you some where, his red eye piercing through your soul.

"You... You came back..?"

He muttered, sounding a little out of place as it was huskier and hoarse.
