The stuffed toy player characters all belong to the same kid (Peter) and are taken together with him/her from kinderzimmer paradise to hospital. In the children's department of hospital you have plenty of plush bullying and plushtrique going on. There are a lot of rooms and each has it's own power structure which is interwoven with the rest.
And there are the carts of the cleaning ladies and the mysterious freight elevators to cleaning powder purgatory and/or trash land. Maybe even some mice...
Actually this sounds pretty Foucault and I will also add some noirish elements, as noir was my first idea.
Locations:
 |
Above the steerages of the children's department, the Plushies (my translation of "Plüschis"), have their hide out. The room structure is the same as below, as this is an old building (19th century).
A hoist takes you down to the washing basement, but there is also a pipe slide.
Only 2 minions of the Pin have the keys - and obviously the nurses (in the nurse room. (At night there is only one for the whole department.)
Washing basement also has steerages and is overseen by the Brain with 1d6 minions and the more outsider spider Shelob.
Player Handout Map:
Note that the hoist and pipe were moved around the corner on the player handout map and that you should probably use this version.

Random Encounter Tables
All encounters should make notice rolls, if they see the PC Plushies - hard ones if the plushies are cautious.
After each encounter there is a 80% chance that nothing happens long enough, that the PCs can sneak by.
By-standers:
Plush organs
Plush microbes
Plush roadkill
Plush skeleton girl
Side plots: the Pin wants to poison Peter, so that the PCs have no way back to kinderzimmer paradise
