Voice post.

[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...

She might have kept just one...

[greatlightother.livejournal.com]

Comrade?

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

[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.

[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.

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.

[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.

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.

Libby, if you keep one, Prefect will SNEAK FOOD TO IT AND LEAVE WITH THE EXTRAS.

[buywithme.livejournal.com]

I think if I was suffering from clinical depression? I'd want to be cured with the use of a few hours in the Tribble room, instead of a few hours sitting with the single Tribble.

He could hide them in his plethora of boxes!

[thatlibbychick.livejournal.com]

That might be able to help treat depression as part of a broader plan, but you can't cure...never mind.

Pitch the "Tribble room" idea to the other wardens, if you want it. Personally, I wouldn't be against it.

It's comfortable, AND as long as you're not a Klingon? It spends it's time loving you dearly.

[buywithme.livejournal.com]

Strange to hear what?

I don't even know how they do eat, I can't find a mouth on any of them.

[greatlightother.livejournal.com]

Comrade.

I did not take the time to inspect them. But maybe they just absorb it somehow.

[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.

I'm sorry, he's just going to keep thinking you're addressing him when you say that :P

[buywithme.livejournal.com]

Yes, Sister?

Maybe they do, or maybe they just have tiny adorable mouths that I haven't found yet.

[buywithme.livejournal.com]

They're too nice to be disea-- What diseases could they have gotten? As I understand it they're all clones of the original, and Kirk's had it for months without getting ill.

They're easy to control. All they want to do is eat and nestle.

Haha, it's fine. It's making me giggle

[greatlightother.livejournal.com]

Sister? No. Comrade. Comrade is a term that I thought had not left my country. Especially with such widespread use.

Wait, adorable mouths?

He'd put them all in one big box, then declare it the tribble room mark two!

[buywithme.livejournal.com]

Okay, Sister, I put it in my post.

[buywithme.livejournal.com]

Oh? Are you from the Factory, Comrade? Or from Russia? I know that O'Brien uses it, and where I'm from everyone uses it, but most people who I speak too here assume I'm from Russia for some reason.

[greatlightother.livejournal.com]

Yes. Moscow. And I have spoken a couple of time with O'Brien, but he is from a completely different place.

this torturer has no sympathy for small fluffy things. :D

[equalsfive.livejournal.com]

I don't know, but they nearly always are diseased.

And eating causes them to multiply. Mass numbers of them then puts them well beyond our control.

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.

Yes, Loki is saying this just to scare Prefect.

[lotoftrouble.livejournal.com]

I vote we eat them.

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!

BEST COMEBACK EVER COMIN' RIGHT UP!

[buywithme.livejournal.com]

I vote we eat you.

xD

[lotoftrouble.livejournal.com]

That makes no sense. I'm too lanky and skinny-I have no muscle at all.
