Extra context:

• Initially there was only supposed to be a few of each version, but both the tools and instructions for making another toon was found by sometoon after Gardenview's closing. This allowed them to make more.

• In this version of Dandy's World, Gardenview is known as Gardenview Edutainment center.

• Delilah and Arthur started their ideas for Dandy's World in the late 90's, and started development in the early 2000's. Gardenview opened in 2004, and shut down 2011. TLB is set in 2017.

• There are many copies of the toons. Each skin is a different copy, a different version of a toon from a different cartoon. This was meant to make meet and greets easier, and for planned live action media that never came to fruition.

• Each toon has a nickname they choose to be referred to by. This is mostly for more specific things, security, logs and archival, missions, referring to toons in specific who you're friends with. If two Toons are strangers, they just refer to each other by toon name rather than nickname. (Ex: A passing Gigi saying hello to a passing flutter. If she knows her, she'll say "Hello, Rosy!" If she doesn't, she'll just say "Hello, flutter!'.) If two toons are alone they may just call each other by toon name (Ex, a Razzle and Dazzle pair having a conversation with each other.

• Toons have to go down for missions for several reasons; Turn the machines that keep gardenview's elecricity and water running, collect other fallen toons, Check for structural damage, check whick floors are safe for habitation, and collect supplies needed on the surface. Extra points given if you can find another tape or dvd that hadn't been found yet, as that allows another previously lost toon skin, or toon category itself, to be brought back into circulation.

• No one knows how many Dandies or Dyles there are. It's generally accepted among other toons that there are at least two of each. One Dandy lives in the elevator maintenance tunnels, and runs all the shops that groups see, while the other stays on the surface and does whatever he does. The second Dyle helps with orangization, while the first runs his own shop.

• If a toon dies, twisted tishas often gather their remains into capsules out of instinct, and wrap the tape their "code" and memories are held on, around the capsule. There is a designated member of teams that head down that are meant to hold onto these, often a Gigi or Bassie.

• These capsules can be used to bring back a fallen toon. Both the capsules and supplies needed to bring back or make a toon can be traded in for supplies and currency. There are many floors cleared of twisteds that toons live on, and each is like a mini town for them.

• Toons typically twist when they are both seriously injured for a period of time, and under severe emotional or psychological distress. As they twist, they will typically display impaired vision (brusha and pebble excluded), heightened sensibilities to very specific frequencies, and increased irritability or out of character behavior.

• No toon yet knows how to un-twist a twisted, so dying is usually a best case scenario if a toon wants to see another day through eyes that aren't tinted red, and toons, even if they have the ability to, are often discouraged from trying to kill a twisted just in case that's the absolute end of one, and they end the chance to bring someone back.

• All toons acknowledge that there are multiple of them, and It's generally accepted, although sometimes it can cause existential distress.

• For simplicity and continuity, there are a lot less tapes needed to buy things. I'm not sure how I can draw a toon trading in a hundred tapes.

Chapters

After the elevator closes, and a toon gets left behind, what happens to them? No way back up unless they get lucky and another group lands on the floor they were stranded on. And even then, said toon has to survive the twisteds until that slim luck shines on them. What happens to them?

The barricaded doors that an on-mission toon passes as they run from ichor-infected horrors and dutifully fulfill their tasks. What's behind those doors? Who put it all there?

The toons that run out of stamina, or get cornered by twisteds, what happens to them when they're taken? Just another twisted to make jobs harder for the still-living toons.

These are their stories.
