In a large museum known as “Gardenview: Educational center and Museum.” that was opened in the early 1900’s and home of the Toons, though it had a dark secret underneath. A large portion of the underground museum was saved for “The Icore Operation’ or ‘TIO’ for short where Icore (blood used to make Toons, which has a black color) was produced and even taken from misbehaving or no longer useful Toons, creating at atmosphere of abuse and torture under the surface. Though it was shut down in the early 2000’s due to a incident labeled “The Icore crash of 03” By the Toons where pipes of unstable Icore that ran threw the museum busted and mutated a large portion of Toons, labeling the corrupted Toons as “Twisted’s”, the outbreak took many lives of Toon’s and humans alike, leading for the museum’s closer. And after the closer and abandonment, a corrupt system that soon followed when Dandicus Dancifer and the rest of the Mains became corrupted with this new full power, separating them from “Toons” and “Mains”.

The Mains are a small handful of Toons that was not only created first by the humans and have special powers, but the main face’s of the museum, which is why their labeled as the ‘Mains’. The Mains were not only apart of the Icore operation and keep it running, but they control the whole museum itself. The Mains live in a luxurious and carefree lifestyle with their only worry’s being consoling the museum. The few Mains being Astro Novalite (God), Vee version 1 (guard), Sprout Seedly (Toon-control), Shelly Fossilian (Toon-control), Bobette Bauble (event-control), Pebble Dancifer Jr (hound), Bassie (Toon-control), Dyle Timesly (railroad -control) then lastly Dandicus Dancifer himself (Leader & head of TIO). Dandy is the Main mascot of the museum and leader and controller of everything and The Icore Operation - ‘TIO’. Giving the museum the crude nickname of “Dandy’s World”. Compared to the Toons, the Mains live in a luxury Toons don’t have. Such as living in a large, private, clean space with private bedrooms and access to food, water, and the basic necessities one needs for survival. The Mains commonly physically and mentally abuse Toons, calling them “maggots” or “pests”. The Mains show no remorse for the Toons. (Power ranking/order: Astro, Dandy, Dyle, Pebble, Bobette, Vee, Shelly, Sprout, Bassie.)

While the rest of the Toons are slaves to the Mains. And unlike the Mains, the conditions they live in are beyond horrible. Toon’s live in horrible conditions, living in small, windowless concrete rooms while being forced to share it with 1-2 more Toons with no furniture in their rooms but thin, dirty mattresses. Along with the many spaces Toons are allowed to go to being quiet cramped or can easily get cramped if a large amount of Toons are in the area. Toon’s also have to follow several strict rules, if any are broken the consequences can lead to being sent on a Run all the way up to being the next subject for Icore experimentation. Many Toons struggle with money as well, which Dandy (being the only one who owns a business) purposely sells items basic for survival at overpriced prices, leaving the rest of the Toons who can’t afford it weeks or longer without the basic necessities of food, water, and other important things. Because of this, Suicide, violence, drug use, and other crime rates are through the roof - with many Toons ether taking their own lives to escape the torture they live through, or Toons fighting and killing other Toons in order to live in this hell. This also means poor hygiene and starvation is common among Toons. Because of low materials, often times Toons use these weapons: Claws, fists, biting, blunt objects, and at times even shards of glass. They also have to find a way to make drugs, using any material they can find no matter how harmful. Crime is also extremely common amongst the Toons, crime such as: Robbery, aggravated assault, murder, rape, sometimes even cannibalism, and other severe actions is normal as the only way to survive long is to be fighter and prove your not to be messed with, forming a predator and prey dynamic among the Toons.

Because of this, Gardenview, or crudely nicknamed ‘Dandy’s world’ has it’s own system when it comes to currency. They use VHS Tapes and capsules of Icore as currency. 1 tape = $5. 1 Icore capsule = $10.

There’s also a system known as “Runs” which Toons are forced to go on daily, where a group of eight, randomly selected Toons are sent into the depths of the museum via elevator where they have to make sure all the machines are powered on and working correctly that allows the flow of unstable Icore to continue The Icore Operation (TIO), yet these Runs have a 98% death rate due to the Twisted’s being left to roam the same depths of the museum the Toons are sent too, each run lasts most, if not all day at times.

“Twisted’s” are creatures that roam the depths of Gardenview. These creatures were once Toons, but once they came in contact with unstable Icore, attacked by a Twisted, or fluids of an infected get inside via opening in the body or wound, this will cause the infected Toon’s body to contort, twist, and change their body and mind. A common indication of a Toon being Twisted is bright red eyes with black eye color paired with red pupils, and their own Icore running down their bodies. (The only Toons immune to the Twisted’s are Dandy and Astro. Since Dandy is partially a Twisted himself, and Astro feeds on Icore).

The Icore Operation, or TIO, is the heart of the museum. Ran by Dandy, TIO is the creation and experimentation of the Icore, Toons, and experimentation on Twisted’s. The labs is the most secure part of the museum, with several security measures in place. Other then inhumane experiments taking place on both Twisted’s and Toons taking place, this is also where Toons are taken to be offered to Astro.
