ATHAZAGORAPHOBIA - Dandy's World

Setting: The Abandoned Underground Gardenview Museum and Educational Center

Why is it abandoned?: Gardenview used to be a place where kids would learn about a wide variety of topics, like a free school. Each and every 'Toon' is made out of a black, thick liquid called 'Ichor'. However, Gardenview's founders, Delilah Keen and Arthur Walten were overwhelmed with the sheer amount of ichor they made to the point where it was literally seeping into the walls of the place and occasionally there were ichor leaks that were messy to clean. So due to the over-abundance, they decided to close down the place entirely as it was unsafe for the public.

What are Toons?: The Toons are Gardenview's magnum opus, somehow, Delilah and Arthur found a way to create life without natural means, leading to the star Toon 'Dandy' (and anthropomorphic chubby flower) being made, first toon ever made and current leader of Gardenview. All Toons are made up of a thick, black fluid called 'Ichor', but other than that they still have mostly the same innards as regular people. Instead of hiring people to teach the children, Delilah and Arthur made the toons to be teachers and play with the kids instead, and opted to have a few 'Toon Handlers' (basically human caretakers but for toons) to reign in the toons if they get too rowdy.

Where is Gardenview now?: After being closed down to the public, and since the Toons didn't have anywhere else to live, they chose to operate as an independant society deep underground. Dandy, the star attraction and the first toon, acts as their leader and is responsible for most of the technical side of Gardenview, along with Dyle Timesly, (an anthropomorphic stopwatch) Dyle is responsible for the trains and is pretty much the only Toon that ever goes out into the world to get food, drinks, and other supplies to keep Gardenview running.

What are the locations?: There's the Lobby, the main hub and where the trains come in and out. Attached to the lobby is a hallway in front with Dandy and Dyle's shops, Dandy usually sells food and drinks while Dyle sells cosmetics like clothing, blankets, and various other items to make life for the toons more convenient. Then there's the elevators that go down into various rooms like the Offices, the Greenhouses, the Rainbow Diners, the Library, the Theater, the Art Gallery, the Warehouses, and the Aquarium. There are also entire floors dedicated to the 'Main Toons' (Toons that were the Main Characters of Gardenview who now operate as figureheads), these include Vee's Gameshow & Arcade, Shelly's Paleontology and Everything Prehistoric Museum, Sprout's Restaurant & Picnic Palace, Astro's Observatory & Nap Spot, Pebble's Gym, Bassie's Easter Floor, Gourdy's Halloween Floor, and Bobette's Christmas Floor.

Who are the Main Toons?: The Main Toons are the Main characters of the show that Gardenview is tied to (the show is called 'Dandy's World'), there are 9 Main Characters, 3 being tied to specific Holidays. There is Vee.v1, Sprout Seedly, Pebble Dancifer, Shelly Fossilian, Astro Novalite, Gourdy Halloway, Bobette Carolynne, Bassie Bloomington, and Dandicus 'Dandy' Dancifer. Vee is a robot gameshow host, Sprout is a strawberry baker, Pebble is a rock dog (owned by Dandy), Shelly is an ammonite paleontologist, Astro is a moon who can access other toon's dreams, Gourdy is a pumpkin and the Main of Halloween, Bobette is a Bauble and the Main of Christmas, and Bassie is a basket and the Main of Easter. Dandy is a flower and the titular character of the show 'Dandy's World' and is Gardenview's main mascot

What are the currencies?: To pay for anything in Dyle or Dandy's shop, Toons will need to collect ichor on the lower floors. This is the main currency of the lobby, but during runs, Dandy will occasionally appear looking for any tapes gathered by the Toons to trade for helpful items that will help with 'runs' down in the depths of Gardenview. Ichor Capsules and Tapes can be found on the floor of the lower levels of Gardenview, where the Twisteds lie.

What are the Twisteds?: The Twisted Toons are ichor ridden clones of the Toons up above, since there was an overabundance of ichor in Gardenview, the ichor machine was able to use old toon molds to make mindless monstrous versions of the toons-basically making the Toons with too much ichor. They will attack normal toons and wander around aimlessly when not doing anything. Dandy is a special exception, he can turn from Toon to Twisted at will, however he doesn't usually do this, and only does when especially angry. And nothing really does anger Dandy, but since he's looking for tapes to trade in, if Toon's go deep into a run without giving him any, he'll become enraged and turn into a Twisted, hunting down the Toons who are setting him behind.

Who are the normal toons?: These are the Side Characters of Gardenview; their names are Poppy, Boxten, Shrimpo, Tisha, Looey, Yatta, Blot, Goob, Scraps, Squirm, Brightney, Razzle & Dazzle, Glisten, Rodger, Toodles, Teagan, Cosmo, Finn, Brusha, Flutter, Gigi, Connie, Connie, Cocoa, Eggson, Flyte, Eclipse, Ribecca, Soulvester, Ginger, Rudie, and Coal.
