Dandy's World AU: Butcher's Vanity

All the toons live in harmony within a single building, working together to bring smiles to each other's faces. Day by day, they pursue their lives as a team; They might've had their show cancelled years ago, but they don't let that get them down! Being optimistic and sticking together is their motto!
In this building they don't tolerate any harm or negativity.. but they can't control what happens outside. Specifically what happens in the night. Toon handlers have strict policies involving going outside, they cannot go unless supervised the whole time. As well, no one is allowed outside their rooms past 12 AM, unless involved in group activities.
Recently, certain disturbances within the town they live in have stirred up alarming unease, but none of the toons know anything about said issues; they are in the dark. Unbeknownst to the them, the root of these disturbances are caused by some of their own friends. Over time, one paranoid toon may have the right to be suspicious of this group. Unfortunately, even if this toon does come forward with their concerns, they will not be believed nor trusted. With a ruined reputation and a narrow-minded approach to life, this toon is left isolated; left to spiral quickly down the staircase of mental illness.
A specific event plummets one toon into more: a desire-filled chase to wrap a specific toon around one's finger in order to gain more control. As well, the crippling fall and morbid end to the one who was once on the pedestal themself. Will the traitorous toons be discovered, reprimanded, and punished for their wrongdoings?
