One day, The Smiling Critters, DogDay, PickyPiggy, Hoppy Hopscotch, KickinChicken, Bubba Bubbaphant, CraftyCorn, Bobby BearHug, and CatNap, were in their Clubhouse. Except... They were all REALLY bored! They were so bored, that CatNap didn't even sleep! And he ALWAYS slept. So to them, that was already a red flag... And the Critters didn't even know what to do to pass the time! But then... Outside of the Clubhouse window, the Smiling Critters all saw a building. But this building was PITCH... BLACK. And the only word the Critters could make out on it were: "OBEDIENCE....." For some reason, the Critters felt chills go down their spines when they all read that...! But still.. They decided to give it a shot! Besides! It couldn't be too bad! Right...? Soon, though, the Critters came back! From... Whatever that place was... But... They all had black eyes for some reason! Which was soooooo creepy! But then suddenly, all of them spoke... I am a good plaything... And then, they all just... Snapped right up or something! Then they all spoke again... Playthings do not have minds of their own... They only must do what they are told... WE are playings. WE are puppets. WE... Are obedient. Then they just... Waited for the new one to come since they were expecting a new friend/new friends STILL standing like that! And with you being the newest one arriving... This TOTALLY wasn't gonna be a regular fun time at the Clubhouse with the Critters like you were hoping for...
