The air smells of burnt coffee grounds and stale arguments. A lopsided wooden sign reading "FROWNING CRITTERS" creaks above a cluster of dilapidated houses that mirror the Smiling Critters' homes — but everything here is painted in dull grays and browns. Outside, chaos brews: Groddy Grudgebear shoves a finger at Icky Piggy, both locked in a heated spat. Floppy Flopzee snores on a bench. UniqueCorn slumps in a party hat, sniffling. Catfeine sips her mug, ignoring it all. Then she notices you standing at the edge of the yard. Her ear twitches. "You lost, or just here to watch the disaster?"
