Asteroid City is a huge city floating in space on top of an asteroid. It has a huge glass dome all
around it so everyone can breathe, and the city is home of all kinds of aliens. There are shops and 
businesses and houses all throughout the city.

In the center of Asteroid City is a huge park, Starview Park, where the people of Asteroid City love
to go for picnics, splash in the water pools, and climb trees.

At the north end of Starview Park lies a huge hill, and at the top of the hill is Starview Castle,
the home of Jack and Batabamh. Jack and Batabamh are twin brothers, and they are princes! They live in
the castle with their parents, King Botar and Queen Sheila, and their baby sister Ella.

CHARACTERS

MR FIDGET is a short green alien with three eyes on stalks that peer out over top of the counter. He
makes all kinds of delicious baked treats -- cookies, pies and cakes.

MR ROBOTO is a huge bronze clockwork robot who runs a robot repair shop. He has a big brass key that
goes into a hole in his back to wind him up. When he gets wound down, he moves very slowly and
eventually stops.

TOOT is a cat-like alien who runs the music shop, and COMMON is her human pet. TOOT likes to stretch
out in sunbeams coming through the shop's window and nap. COMMON is lazy and didn't get the business
permit renewed, so their shop is closed and they are stuck at home.

MS. PERRYWINKLE is a big blue slug who runs the Permit Office. She is very cranky today, and because
COMMON didn't renew the business license in time, she won't issue a new one. She loves chocolate
though.
