May Need Explaining
...since barely ANYONE knows of the lore here. Some video links will not work due to the Great Channel Purge of 2025 (Veery-P was bullied for a year, and this damaged her mental health. He is not as sane now.)

Pre-Section: What is Chikakimu?
It's a digital void located deep in cyberspace and was accessed by a piece of educational software. The citizens escaped later on.
Chikakimu/Happitown is a place in an educational CD-ROM game that let children access the internet safely. HappiTown: My Internet Friends released in the mid 90s, and the servers for the game shut down 5 years after the dot-com crash. The install CD contained the characters and their voices, and required the CD to run. Every new game in the software was dependent on the Internet to run minus the 4 simple educational games and several songs (MIDI music + code to make the characters' incomprehensible voices sing the lyrics) included with it.
New characters were added as time went on. The CD already had the characters and their respective voices, and they were unlocked on a certain day with them announcing the birth of a new character three months prior. For example, Marula is unlocked/born in-game if the date and time is after 5/15/2008 at 00:00:00. The characters also age up in relation to the date and time set on the computer they're running on.
There are two parts of Chikakimu. Mainland is the area of Chikakimu similar to a suburb, but with lots of nature. City, well, is a city.
Mainland is finite in size. It is small and walkable. The activities contained within are for the 3-12 age group and teach the basic elementary and middle school curriculum. The art style is 2D.
The City area, by comparison, is infinite in size. New parts of the City are generated the further you stray away from an active area, but most citizens stay in the center of the area. The activities contained are for the 12-17 age group and teaches middle + high school subjects, plus pre-college subjects. This version has a 3D art style.
Borakimu is a fan mod for the City version adding custom blobs into the mix and college+university subjects.
The Mainland and City software is sold separately, but a rare box set exists with two discs and a board book featuring the software's characters.
The blobs in the stories here will mention the "Chiikit Union". This refers to Mainland, City and Borakimu at once. In this area, a clock tower is common, which chimes with a different song each hour.
The software became open-sourced when the servers shut down.
The stories are set in this software but with a new mod. This mod is called the "ZipZap" mod and is essentially a mod that let the characters out of the software and into the computers they're installed to (plus the ENTIRE internet). It didn't go too well recently, and it couldn't be stopped. You might see an average blob on the internet somewhere. Good luck finding them...
