1, 12, and 20 for Toscanini, 5, 11, and 16 for Bing!

Toscanini!

Do they believe in ghosts? Have they ever experienced anything unexplained?

Of course - you can't live in Square Toe and not believe in ghosts. The darn things are everywhere. All you can do is be polite and pretend not to notice. His closest personal experience with the supernatural came on one of his first nights performing, when Porphyria and Ripper decided to check out what was going on. Irving didn't come (he never enters the actual town) but just the sight of Porphy transparently grinning from the back of the bar was enough to make even him almost lose his cool.

12. What’s their weirdest or most irrational fear?

So, Toscanini's not afraid of bugs. He doesn't like them, but he's not afraid of them. What he is afraid of, however, is the idea that a bug will crawl into the end of his trumpet and he won't notice and end up inhaling it. He's fully aware this is irrational and isn't going to happen, but it doesn't stop him being meticulous when it comes to pre- and post-show cleaning. Just in case.

20. What family traditions do they remember from their childhood?

His music! Everyone in his family played an instrument. Most of the kids didn't keep it up after they left home, but Toscanini did and even made it his career.

Bing!

5. Do they like spending holidays alone, with family, or at parties with friends?

At parties with friends! Unfortunately, that's not always possible on the road, so Bing's had to settle for parties with strangers more than once. But that's okay! Who doesn't love a party?

11. If they suddenly had a whole day free to themselves, what would they do with it?

Probably the same thing they do for work - attend performances, make connections, schmooze. Bing is incapable of turning himself off. The difference is he'd sleep in first.

16. What makes them nostalgic?

Home-cooked food, especially warm fruitbread, rice with fresh vegetables, and pastries that are still sticky and soft. He doesn't cook himself, but it always reminds him of home.
