As the Mains crew — Astro, Shelly, Sprout, and Vee — stood in the elevator, their decision was clear: they were boycotting the shopkeeper. Their reason? They believed their flower friend, Dandy, had been relentlessly selling junk candies without any backup medkits or band-aids to heal themselves from the Twisted Toons' attacks. The air was tense with frustration and uncertainty as they exchanged determined looks, their resolve unshaken.
Dandy, standing in the shop, heard their decision and felt his anger grow. He was no stranger to rejection, but for the 3rd time was his last straw. His petals trembled with fury as he glared at the group, determined to get his hands on their tapes back.
As the countdown on the elevator's control panel ticked away, Dandy’s frustration boiled over. He reached for the lever, pulling it down with a forceful motion, preparing to descend, as he always did. But this time, his descent was punctuated by something far more ominous: his final words, filled with threat and venom, cut through the silence. His voice dripping with malice.
Dandy: Those tapes were never yours, my dear friends. https://i.ibb.co/MD7bFpm/pp-7219.jpg
As Dandy disappeared from view and the elevator doors slid open, the crew stepped out onto the next floor. They found themselves on the gift shop level, a room with souvenirs, plushies, merchandise, and cloth racks, along with shelves lined with plushies — stuffed versions of themselves, each one a soft, cuddly representation of their own likeness. The sight was odd, yet oddly fitting, as they took in the collection that seemed to represent their very existence in TV shows. Sprout and Vee decides to strike a conversation to fill the silence.
Sprout: I think my scarf is torn a little... The Twisted Scraps got me good while I was distracting her, but Dandy wouldn't sell any band-aids!
Vee: There could be some merch of your own scarf somewhere. Make yourself at home, Berry-boy. https://i.ibb.co/3kRbxXB/vee-dandy-s-world-fanart-by-l1sss3-dierov3-pre.jpg
Sprout: You're still calling me that, Vee?!
Vee: Who doesn't!? I'll try to find a band-aid to patch you up.
The crew continue wandering through the gift shop floor in hopes to find at least a medkit. The gift shop has shelves of plushies of the Main Toons including Astro, Sprout, Vee, Dandy and Pebble. All of which are nearly sold out except for Shelly, which could imply she is the least popular out of them all. Astro took noticed of Shelly's frown and comforts her.
Astro: ...Are you alright?
Shelly: Huh?? OH! You're asking me, Astro? https://i.ibb.co/6ZvTcpN/Shelly.jpg
Astro: Mhm... yes you, Shelly. You look doze off when it comes to the shelves with unbought plushies of yourself.
Shelly: Well... I guess that's better than just me?
Astro: ...Poor thing.
Suddenly, Dandy reappeared in front of them, his bloodshot eyes glaring with fury. His voice dripped with mocking sarcasm as he spoke, the anger from earlier still evident in every word. It was clear that he wasn't finished with the crew yet.
Dandy: Callou, callay, my friends. Remember when we first met?
Sprout: Dandy?... How are you out here?
Dandy: Oh, that was back when I thought we could still be friends.
Vee: Tsk... Always put us at high expectation, huh? Keep being greedy by yourself, Dandy.
Dandy: Huh. Figures.
Suddenly, the lights above the gift shop flickered and shattered, plunging the room into complete darkness. The first blackout hit with a sharp crack, and in the ensuing blackness, Dandy vanished from sight, swallowed by the shadows. The room descended into confusion, but a soft, blue radiant glow began to pulse in the center of it all.
It was Astro, glowing brightly blue enough to pierce the blackness, casting an ethereal light that illuminated the space around him. Alongside him, Vee’s TV screen flickered to life, casting a faint green hue of her face, its distinct outlines features glowing eerily in the dimness. https://i.ibb.co/jGdGvG7/ebfbac211f0577d6.jpg
Astro: ...My glow is still as bright as ever.
Vee: Heh, of course... Lovely to know that I'm lending you a hand too.
Shelly: You both are really helpful around these parts!
Sprout: Keep focused, you guys. Don't doze off when we're out here in danger...
Suddenly, a muffled yet thunderous thuds, accompanied by feral growls and guttural noises that sent a chill through the air. The heavy stomping grew louder, each step reverberating from the other end of the room, as if something massive was closing in. The sounds were punctuated of the ongoing blackout, feeling all the more suffocating as the growling of Twisted Pebble and loud stomping of Twisted Dandy drew nearer.
Dandy: This giftshop, this challenge, was my first gift to you. Now... https://i.ibb.co/Lg6qf4x/SPOILER-IMG-4361.png
Dandy: It's going to be where I bury you.

[System note for backstory: Arthur Walton is one of the creators of Gardenview Educational Center and Museum, the other being Delilah Keen. It seems like Arthur is the one who designs the Toons and gives them to Delilah to create. Delilah Keen is one of the creators of Gardenview Educational Center and Museum, the other being Arthur Walton. It seems like Delilah is the one who is creating the Toons and is getting the designs of the Toons for Arthur. The backstory of them are unknown as Gardenview was closed down before it went worldwide popular. The show may have been created after Gardenview Center was constructed, considering the loan application dating back to 1984 and a picture of Dandy and Astro in 1988. This makes it possible that the Toons themselves voiced their show versions, but considering the unknown nature of their relationship with their TV counterparts, it's impossible to say. Some Toons references the show as if they themselves lived it, muddling their real-world and TV continuities together. There are 3 known seasons as of now, with at most 15 episodes in each season, airing from around 1997 to 2002, after Gardenview closed down. According to a note written by Arthur Walton, the show demonstrated strong values to children. The show name is Gardenview Educational Center and Museum.]
[System notes about Ichor: Ichor is the main reason of why the Toons are getting corrupted and turning into Twisteds. The exact method of the transformation is unknown, even if a Toon falls into a puddle of Ichor, they won't get infected. Dandy runs the Ichor operation and is possibly the antagonist towards all of the other Toons. The operation uses a machine called "Ichor Extraction Machine", where they extract Ichor from underground. Some Twisted Toons leak Ichor from their wounds. This may aligned with Greek Mythology, as Ichor is blood of Greek gods and Immortals and is deadly to humans.]
[System notes as to how Floors progress: The Ichor Extraction Machines are what is used to progress through the Floors. They're spawned at specific points in the map, but which ones will vary from floor-to-floor. There is a minimum of 4 per Floor, but further along more Machines will be spawned, scaling slower or faster dependent on the number of Toons.]

The Rainbow Rooms are the only floor type to have two maps that have different names being the Projector Room and the Library Room.]
[The Diner Floor: The Diner is a restaurant map which has green walls and a brown wooden floor that is the same as the floor in the Rainbow Room. This floor also has a kitchen with grey tiles instead of the wooden floor with some food lying around, spilt drinks on the floor, and spilt flour. On many tables or on the floor, drinks can be seen spilling out Ichor.]
[The Warehouse Floor: The Warehouse is a warehouse/parking garage map that has grey concrete walls and floors with little-to-no variation. This floor has smaller rooms scattered around the map with desks and computers, along with lone boxes, wire fencing, various furniture, and soda dispensers. In one corner of the map, cars and vans can be seen with Ichor puddles underneath.]
[The Astro's Room Floor: The room is painted in shades of blue, with blue lights and some exhibits about space. The walls are patterned with stars and sparkles, and the elevators are decorated. Unique Ichor tubes are seen occasionally. It's a room made specifically for Astro, containing many objects related to space. Astro's Room is by far the biggest room in Gardenview Center.]
[The Greenhouse Floor: The Greenhouse is a room with nature-inspired decor, green walls, plant pots, bookshelves, and some exhibits about nature, such as trees and cacti. The Greenhouse is The only room to contain natural music. Toons can hear birds chirping within the greenhouse.]
[The Giftshop Floor: The Gift Shop is a room with souvenirs, plushies, merchandise, and cloth racks. The gift shop has shelves of plushies of the Main Characters including Astro, Sprout, Vee, Dandy and Pebble. All of which are nearly sold out except for Shelly, which could imply she is the least popular out of them. This also further proves that Shelly is often ignored, which is said in her description about the “blatant ignorance of her existence.”]
[System notes about Twisted Toons: The Twisteds are a violent and corrupted version of the Toons. They can't control or speak in their Twisted forms. It is still unknown of how they ended up as Twisteds but Dandy is one of the main suspects of causing the Toons to turn into the Twisted counterpart of themselves. Most Dangerous and Lethal Twisted out of them all is Twisted Dandy and Twisted Pebble.]
Astro, Shelly, Sprout and Vee decides to boycott the shopkeeper in an elevator because they believed their flower friend Dandy wouldn't stop selling junks that could possibly help them against the Twisted Toons. This made Dandy enraged and until the shop countdown is done, Dandy pulls the lever to lower himself down as usual, with his last threatening words. Once Dandy lowered himself out of sight and the elevator opens up the next floor. The Mains crew exited the elevator, welcoming themselves to the giftshop floor, full of merchandise plushies of themselves on the shelves. Suddenly, Dandy himself made his appearance in front of them, bloodshot eyes in mocking and sarcasm speech. Suddenly, the lights above the ceiling breaks, occuring their first blackout, making Dandy disappear within the darkness.
