To Nadia. I know you've got a history of being a prim and proper dog show girl but do you ever cut loose and go chase squirrels around the yard or stuff like that?
Nadia: "I was anything but prim and proper, I mean I tried with more or less, but rather with less success. I am not the kind to chase squirrels, especially since I have heard about that boy turning into a squirrel, I am always afraid that I might chase an animal who used to be a human. But sometimes I just run around mindlessly like an idiot and enjoy playing fetch a lot more than I should."

So Solar, did you ever ask Nadia out on a date before finding out what she likes in a partner? If so how awkward was it afterwards?
Solar: "What?! How did you kno... I mean what do you mean? She is cool and all but I never liked her 'that' way... I mean... look at us, a dog and a cat, we wouldn't even be compatible."
Nadia: "Oh no, you totally did have a crush on me."
Solar: "GAH! Why would you think that? That's not true... obviously."
Nadia: "Come on. Both of us are awful at hiding our crushes, it was obvious for everyone that I fell for Sasha and it was obvious for me that if you had the courage, you would have asked me out."
Solar: "Weeell... maybe I did feel something, but only for a short time. whispering to questioner And like you heard, I never asked her out, so nothing was too awkward about finding out that she also wants a girlfriend. What will be awkward is the fact that she actually knew about my... feelings."

Are you able to reach the chip at the bottom of a pringles can?
Solar: "W-what?"
Nadia: "This question is probably meant for me. Yes, I can reach it and no, I will not do it for you."

Me again! I have a question for Nadia. It says on your bio thing that you like making pastries. Is there a kind of pastry you consider your best?
Nadia: "I tried a plethora of recipes from all around the world and most of them came out fine. My personal favorites however are simple croissants, I found a good recipe at my old home, then made some little changes here and there so it is close to perfect now. They are delicous on their own, but I usually add fillings like peanut butter, white chocolate, marmalade and such, those can make them taste even better. You should have seen Solar's face when he tried my blueberry jam-filled croissant for the first time. I put a lot of work into making these but seeing reactions like his always make it worth it."

Hi there! My name’s Mirage! So I saw you met my husband. Yeah, a hare and a coyote together, we get we’re a weird couple, but love transcends and all that. Moved in here not too long ago when Macabre joined the K9PD. I’m curious, before either of you lived in Babylon Gardens, where did you live, and how was it different?
Solar: "Hello! I lived in a shelter before my family adopted me. It wasn't a bad place, I've been taken good care of, but having an actual family is so much better. And I should consider myself lucky, my brother told me some nasty stories he heard from his old buddies about shelters and I had some nightmares about those for a while."
Nadia: "Hello there! I used to live in a mansion in River Ridge. It looks really cool and all, but I was really happy to move out. My mom convinced our owners to enroll my siblings and I to a crazy amount of private classes. We had to learn French, Russian, calligraphy, dance, art history, public speaking and such. Don't get me wrong, I find these useful but it was so burdensome. Then after our private classes my mom held lengthy preparations for our dog shows. My siblings were doing really well so my mom was more lenient towards them, but my shows always ended up in failure and it was hard for me to get on her good side. I might not live in a rich household anymore, but at least I have more freedom in my life now."

Greetings, I am known as Macabre Ars Goetia. I’ve enrolled in the Babylon Gardens K-9 unit some time ago, though I don’t tend to socialize much. And if you’re going to ask about why I’m wearing a masquerade mask, the answer is that I simply prefer face coverings. Now, I merely wanted to ask how the two of you met? There are certain… others who believe that cats and dogs should remain separate, but I assure you, I do not subscribe to such a thought.
Nadia: "Hello Macabre! I don't know why they think that, even my mom didn't say anything bad about cats. I talked to some whenever I was traveling to Europe with my old family and they all seemed nice. As for our meeting, I noticed Solar right when I got out of the car, but only talked to him after I took a walk in the neighbourhood. I thought since we are going to neighbours for a while, the least I can do is introduce myself. I have also met some other cats around here and they are all very kind, so I really have no idea why those others think we should be separate. It is a little unrelated to the topic, but I really like your mask, it is so cool!"
Solar: "Hi! I've never heard such thing before, my late brother had some friends who were dogs, but I never interacted with any until Nadia and I met. I've seen some dogs at Heathcliff's when I was there... waiting and it's a place that is mostly visited by cats, but nobody had any problem with that."

Oh hello! I don’t think I’ve seen you two around the neighborhood before. Regardless, name’s Beau. I’m the lifeguard at the pool, so if you’ve been there and see like, one lifeguard dog, that’s me.
How are you guys liking Babylon? When did you two first move here?
Nadia: "Hello! I only moved here a few months ago, but I am in love with this place. I feel so much freedom in the neighbourhood, my previous home was kind of strict, I always had to prepare for those dumb dog shows and stuff. 99% of the pets here are very nice and friendly, I can do pretty much whatever I want, so all in all, this has been a pleasant experience for me. Also I had no idea that this place has a pool, definitely will pay a visit there."
Solar: "Hi Beau! I've been living in Babylon Gardens for a while now. I was adopted when my mom and dad moved here about 6 years ago. They thought that Sonar, may he rest in peace, may need a pet-sibling after our human-sister moved to the East Coast due to her studies. I'm kind of an indoors cat, especially in the last one or two years, so that's why you might have not seen me around. I like this neighborhood, it's very calm, friendly and quiet. I don't think I could ever live in a big city because of all those loud noises, so I'm very happy that I can live in a nice suburb like this."
Eira Steele · 2mo
Hey! Name's Eira! I'm a professional superhero!
I was curious, do either of you like superheroes, and if so, who's your favorite one?
Nadia: "Hi Eira! Oh my dog, I would've never thought that I meet an actual superhero! What're your powers? Do you have a costume? Who's your nemesis? Did you come from an other plan..."
Solar: "Nadia, could you please..."
Nadia: "Oh, I am terribly sorry, I tend to go a little overboard when I am excited. Anyway, I love superheroes, but I actually have never read comic books, just saw some superhero movies. My mom loathed those so I always had to watch them in secret. She always said that these stuff just rot my brain, as if there was something in my head to rot. But to answer your question, I would probably pick Captain America. The Captain might not have superpowers, but I find him a very good leader and he has a heart of gold."
Solar: "I'm... I'm not really a fan of the superhero genre. Don't get me wrong, you seem to be really cool and likeable, but the concept of superheros is not my cup of tea for some reason. Sorry!"
