the first, of many
things have been rough for Dandy, with garden View shutting down and the humans disappearing, Dandy knew he had to keep the toon's safe, and sadly ignorant on what is happening. but that was getting hard with Rodger sticking his handle in places it should not be. "What am i going to do..." He groaned as he leaned back in his chair with his eyes shut tight before slowly opening them as he stared at the ceiling, he could see the heart beats of the toon's going on about their business. he smiled a bit as he noticed the colored hearts. "There's shelly... vee... pebble is with sprout, likely begging for food..." he mumbled to himself as he slowly ran his hands down his face a bit. "Astro is in his room a sleep..." He said as he watched the slow and steady heartbeat. With a groan he leaned forward as he looked at the files in front of him. "I need to go on a run..... need to try and get to floor twenty at least..." He said as he stood up and started to pack a bag with the trinkets he would need, some med kits, Band-Aids, and some food as well. He made sure to check the vents and that they were tightly shut before he left his office, he made sure the door was locked tightly before heading out. He was in a daze as he greeted the other toon's, acting as if things were alright before he made his way to one of the many elevators, the toon's waved to him as the doors shut, he kept the smile on is face till the doors shut, with a groan his petals drooped as the doors opened once again, with a sigh he stepped onto the floor and started to extract from the machines. As he did he made sure to avoid the twisteds. they were easy enough to avoid with him just having to climb up onto things to avoid them, but as he went further down, he started to encounter the main toon's, normally he can deal with them but it felt as if they were more aggressive this round, they hunted him down almost as soon as the doors opened. making dandy having to bolt to the farthest machine to extract from and with the ones that are closer he would use the remote just so he can dive into the elevator he thought he would make it to floor twenty, but as soon as the doors opened, he heard them, Astro, shelly and Vee. with a groan he barley took a step onto the floor before he saw Shelly making a bee line towards him, with a choked gasp Dandy fell back into the elevator and slammed his fist against the emergency button, making the doors slam shut just in time before shelly could get him, the sound of her body slamming against the door made dandy shudder as the sound of her claws scraping against the door as he went up to the ground floor.
once he got to his office he threw the bag down and sat in his chair with a groan. "they are getting smarter…" He mumbled to himself as he rubbed his face a bit. "I need to do something about this…." He said as he slumped down into his seat a bit. his mind racing as he tried to think of ways to get things back on track. he needed to get the supplies from the higher floors…. but he can't do it alone…. he glanced up and watched as the hearts wandered around the floors, not a care in the world from what he can tell but soon his eyes landed on the main's, their hearts beating as one as they relaxed in the dining room.
slowly a plan started to form in his mind but he was fighting with himself with it, swallowing a bit he sat up and dug around the file cabinet for a bit before he pulled out the files for the mains, swallowing a bit he pulled out a pen and flipped open one of the files, it was Astro's file, swallowing hard dandy started to add in a few things. 'toon ability: Nap time, can help toon's regenerate stamina. Operation location, heart and lungs.'
Quickly Dandy closed the file and shoved it away, hands shaking as he took deep breaths to calm himself down before slowly standing up. "Sorry Astro… but you're going to be the first…" he said as he slowly made his way to talk to Astro. "At he will be easy to convince…" He mumbled to himself as he found the mains, smiling he would wave at them before talking to Astro a bit and leading him away.
three months. it has been three months that dandy was able to get all the main toon's their new abilities. it was hard at times with what he needed to do. at times he would question himself as he did the operations, and it took a toll on his body as well. but they were worth it, Astro was the first to wake up from the operation and he was not happy with what happened, the operation was invasive to both of them, but they were toons and Dandy had the Ichor on his side, his recovery was short, compared to the others, Astro had to have bandages around his chest, Sprout for his eyes and Shelly for her throat.
But once they were awake and were getting used to their new abilities, Sprout's once green eyes were now a striking Blue, Shelly, her once quiet voice was now her strongest asset for her, even if she tries her best to stay quiet, Astro's sleep pattern was messed up due to his ability but it only helped in the long run.
Dandy would watch them as they would go on runs and help them when they needed supplies, for a time he couldn't talk but giving Shelly his vocal cords was worth it, Sprout put his eyes to good use when he needed to help a toon that needed a heal and Astro used his new stamina to the best of his new abilities'.
"Things will be going well now with the mains…" He said as he watched the toon's slowly going higher and higher on the floors.
