Hello, everyone! This is an AU that has been swimming around in my head for the past month or so, and I'm pleased to reveal it all to you now!

The premise of this AU is that the world of Smiling Critters (which I've dubbed "Critter Valley") is an afterlife, of sorts.

You see, once in a blue moon, a child or teenager will tragically die. But instead of being gone for good, something special about these individuals allow them to be reincarnated in Critter Valley as an anthropomorphic animal. This is where the Smiling/Nightmare Critters come from.

And you can tell they're different because no other Critter in Critter Valley wears a pendant.

However, it's the deaths themselves, the circumstances surrounding them, and even the human's personalities, that have a hand in shaping not only what animal they become, but also their abilities! (Yes, the gas is almost exclusively a CatNap thing. Everyone else gains a completely unique ability that relates to them)

*[Allister is the demonstration because he's my favorite :)]*

Let me know if you want to see more of this AU, because I have plenty more to reveal later down the line!
