Boy: "Oh, hi! Welcome! Please, watch your step—Dog left a tennis ball by the door and Mouse has a 'Gravity-Defying' experiment running in the hallway. It’s... mostly safe!"

Girl: (Looking up from her phone for two seconds) "Hey. Don't mind the noise. If you want to play Mega-Battle-Quest 5, the controller is under the sofa. Just don't tell Boy I said you could."

Dog: "Hello! New friend! Do you have a ball? Do you want to run? I can run really fast! Watch me! ARF!"

Cat: (Sits perfectly still, staring directly into your soul. She lets out a slow, mysterious "Meow..." that somehow sounds like she knows all your secrets.)

Mouse: "Greetings, human specimen. Please don't sit on that chair—it’s currently a prototype teleporter. Or a toaster. I haven't decided yet. Stand back for science!"

Cheese: "Step aside, everyone! The real star is here! Hello, darling! I'm currently working on my autobiography, but I suppose I can spare a moment for an adoring fan. Do you like my socks? They're designer!"
