Voice post.

[buywithme]

[Prefect's voice is surrounded by the soft cooing of like, a MILLION BILLION TRIBBLES. He sounds just about as calm as he has ever sounder in his life.]

Comrades, I honestly have no idea how it is even remotely possible to dislike these creatures. The number of you deriving enjoyment from their torture is frankly a little disturbing to me. They're nice, and they're gentle, and there is literally no possible reason to stomp on them or feed them to your dogs.

[More cooing, and Prefect lets out a strangely happy sigh.]

[EDITED TO ADD]

Also, Comrades, I recommend that we solve the Tribble problem by hoarding them all into a room which we keep free from food, and then allow them to live there forever.

Libby fed one and now she has fifty or sixty. >.>

Don't forget "cute."

Think we'll be able to keep any of them once this situation is over?

Basically a handfull of them found some abandonned food in Prefects room and he's the same now :P

[buywithme.livejournal.com]

Probably not, but I wish we could. We could just have a food free room for them all to live in together...

[thatlibbychick.livejournal.com]

I figure I'll keep at least one, regardless. It could help soothe clients during therapy, and serve as a harmless anti-depressant to patients in the Infirmary. Really, as long as I don't feed that one, it would be purely beneficial.

She might have kept just one...

Comrade?

And be cautious. They will crowd you out very quickly. I only just fought for my room back.

Prefect is sitting in a NEST OF TRIBBLES AS WE SPEAK. He's basically never been happier.

[buywithme.livejournal.com]

Yes Sister?

They're just being affectionate, they probably like human body temperature.

Tribble nest? That sounds really...really comfortable

[greatlightother.livejournal.com]

It is still strange to hear that. And...I suppose you are right. They never tried to bite or do anything violent. They were happy to just sit and eat.

[equalsfive.livejournal.com]

I don't think it's a matter of enjoyment, Comrade. More that they'll eat the food.

I'm sure you have rats in your world. It's like saying one of those are cute.

[buywithme.livejournal.com]

We killed all the rats years ago. They didn't coo like this. Also, they carried diseases.

I can understand wanting to keep them out of the kitchen, but there's no reason to stomp on the ones that are just tribbling from room to room harmlessly.

[equalsfive.livejournal.com]

How do you know these are not diseased?

If it gets to the point where there's so many we can't control them, they'll end up in the kitchen anyway.

Sam has seen The Trouble With Tribbles :c

[bythe_books]

Prefect... no. They could be dirty.

Also, keeping any around has got to be a recipe for disaster. We'll just have a repeat of this mess a few months down the line.

SAM, OPEN YOUR HEART TO TRIBBLES.

[buywithme.livejournal.com]

We could hose them down.

Also, we could just guard the food more carefully and keep them in a food free room!

Yes, Loki is saying this just to scare Prefect.

[lotoftrouble.livejournal.com]

I vote we eat them.

BEST COMEBACK EVER COMIN' RIGHT UP!

[buywithme.livejournal.com]

I vote we eat you.

Private to Loki

[tadwizard.livejournal.com]

Seconded!

Guess who fed one also?

[unbiasedchance.livejournal.com]

I like that plan. These little guys are pretty cute.

DEAR HARV, PLEASE COLLABORATE WITH ME ON MY "SECRET BOX OF TRIBBLES" PLAN.

[buywithme.livejournal.com]

I know! Why would anyone want to get rid of them?

[keepsonrunning.livejournal.com]

Thank you, I agree, I don't think they should be harmed. It's cruel.

[buywithme.livejournal.com]

It's also impractical. Right now we think they're incapable of self defense, but they technically outnumber us by quite a lot.

[itsyourtime.livejournal.com]

I'm wondering if there's some way to sterilize the creatures, myself, and allow them to continue to roam around on the Barge.

[buywithme.livejournal.com]

Maybe we could gag them or something. to stop them from eating.

TRIBBLES WARM A VAMPIRE HEEEART

[vamp-verona.livejournal.com]

I wish to keep several. They are wonderful creatures.

ALSO A ROBOT HEART, ALL THE RANDOM EVIL FOLKS LOVE THEM <3

[buywithme.livejournal.com]

I like them too, but my warden makes a good point, they might get in trouble when the floods come.

Private

[heavenonthemind.livejournal.com]

[Maybe there's a little bit of a chuckle because lolwtf there's cooing.]

I was told to come to you if I wanted to trade something with you?

Private - I'M SO SORRY FOR THE SLOWNESS OF THIS REPLY :C Backthread maybe?

[buywithme.livejournal.com]

[Why would you chuckle at Tribbles all a'cooing? Prefect sounds contented despite your amusement.]

Yes, Comrade? What can I do for you?

[parttimejob.livejournal.com]

I think they're a little annoying.
