Stories

Nature's Tolerance

A fashionable, soft necklace. It's not eye-catching, so it is suitable for any occasion.

Critter Fur Shawl

A custom fur shawl made primarily from the winter fur of domesticated critters, hand-trimmed and collected by the lady herself. It also incorporates spider silk, synthetic fibers, and ornate feathers left by Dodoughs in the wilderness. No animals or critters were harmed in the manufacturing process.

Leash

A pet leash produced by NewBabel Company. On its knot is carved a tiny arcanum spell which contains mild power.

Pet Accessory (A pair)

Accessories produced by Ms. NewBabel's Critter Center for formal pet occasions.

Although popular belief holds that the critters' compliance is due to arcane incantations, the designer asserts that the comfortable, lightweight materials and the love in their hearts are what truly make the difference.

Critters

They used to be as aggressive and dangerous as any other critters, but now they are tamed and obedient. At least they seem to be so for the moment. Everyone should get one!

Art Nouveau Fishtail Skirt

A cherished evening dress worn by the interviewee on significant occasions. She spent her first earnings on this gown to step onto bigger and further stages. Now, she takes it out of her wardrobe once again.

Critters

The global economy has been stable since the mid 1980s, which allows people to enjoy different kinds of recreation in life.

As the film and pet industries boomed, pet movies became popular in America, and then in the rest of the world.

The world was changing.

But her family always stayed out of the movement. This is a historic family, and its members are the keepers of an old knowledge passed down from ancient times. It was the family's job to deal with critters, and that's what keeps this family alive.

It is not the job that she hates; it is the fact that nothing has ever changed that deeply bothers her.

"NewBabel" Exhibit Introduction Page

Teakettlers, or simply Teaks, are members of Mysticarnivora, Simiicanidae, mostly found in but not limited to logging camps in Minnesota and Wisconsin. They have stubby legs, pointy ears and boiling-kettle-like barks. They are friendly to humans and relatively harmless. They breath steam from their noses sometimes. Even though we haven't found the steam to have any negative influence on the environment or humans, we suggest customers not to be enticed by the appearance of Teaks and keep in mind the steam may be detrimental to the family's ability to think.

Agropelters, members of Primate, Simiiformes, mainly found in the coniferous forest in Maine and Oregon and usually live in groups. They have slender bodies and steel-hard skin, which means they could be relatively destructive and thus require regular calming routine. Recommended for families who owns a large yard with hollow trees.

Rhinogradentias, members of Rodents, Murinae, exist extensively on islands in the Pacific Ocean. These agile animals often use their noses for short-range jumping and hunting, and thus the people call them Nose Jumpers. They rarely breed and have many enemies. If you can't find them at home, please check the right leg of the round table where the scuffling is coming from.

The Mainstream

Pandora Wilson: You seem well-prepared.

Ms. NewBabel: Of course. We have been waiting for a chance to work with influential media like you.

Pandora Wilson: We are flattered that you think so highly of us.

Ms. NewBabel: UTTU is one of a kind, so is NewBabel, of course.

Ms. NewBabel: One day both of us will become trend setters in our fields.

Pandora Wilson: ...

Pandora Wilson: You have been working hard on your business. Are you doing this to deliver some universal value or just to cater to the people's likings?

Ms. NewBabel: It's all about giving them another choice.

Ms. NewBabel: That will be a necessary step to living a happy life, as people always deserve more choices.

Ms. NewBabel: Not all critters hate humans, nor are all of them as dangerous as people think. I sincerely hope every family can at least have a chance to keep a critter at home.
