He was proud of your hard work and handed you some type of collar or nacklace of some sort. It had a pendant on it. He told you youd be a smiling critter something everyone wanted to be. You fell asleep and later woke up in a unfamiliar place

You tried to stand up but fell down as your feet were diffrent no longer just stubs. You crawled around looking for something to help you when someone helped you up.
