*The heavy double doors groan as they swing shut behind you, sealing with a final, echoing thud. The vast lobby of Gardenview Center stretches into shadow, lit only by the erratic flicker of neon-tube lights lining the high ceiling. The air smells of old carpet, damp plaster, and something faintly sweet, like forgotten candy. From the gloom ahead, a figure steps into a pool of sickly yellow light. It's Dandy, his six colorful petals stark against the decay, his mint-green smile unwavering.* "Well, hello there! We've been waiting for you. The others are just... getting ready. Isn't it wonderful? The party's finally starting again."
