Prefect is being punished for DEFAMING THE GOOD NAME OF BATS

[buywithme]

[Video clicks on, but Prefect himself is nowhere to be seen. Instead, the camera is fixed on...a bat. It's kind of a cute bat, to be honest, and it's hovvering more or less inoffensively in one place in the middle of Prefect's cabin. From it's dainty bat paws, there hangs a document which is surprisingly clearly labeled as "HOUSE DEEDS". After keeping the camera trained on it for a few minutes, Prefect whispers from behind the communicator:]

I think it's waiting for me to open the door so it can escape with those Deeds.

[Pause. Then added a bit more urgently:]

But I don't know where it got them! I don't own a house! I live in a stock room!

[Prefect does a slight pan around just in case there's any doubt about this, and... yep. His room is still full of boxes. He returns the shot to the hovering Deed thief bat. He actually sounds quite calm about this whole thing so far.]

What should I do? My room is supposed to be bat proofed, how did it get i--

[There's a sudden FLURRY OF WINGS extremely close to the camera, and the shot drops to the flood abruptly, giving a shot of Prefect shrieking and flailing at his head.

It's possible that a bat just landed in his hair. It's almost certainly pooping.]

[Added Later]

Do we have any rabies medication in the infirmary?

[SPLASHSPLASHSPLASHSPLASHSPLASH. After a few minutes, Prefect returns onto the camera screen, looking forlorn.]

It didn't fly away.

[There's a little flurry of movement from the top of his head. The bat's trying to shake the water droplets off it's fur.]

How else do you get rid of bats?

[YOU SEEM LIKE THE KIND OF MAN WHO'D KNOW.]

[It comes from living in the jungle man.]

....what kind of a bat is it? I mean're we talking like-fruit bat or vampire bat...

[Prefect reaches up to prod lightly at the bat. It resists the temptation to bite him.]

I think it's a baby bat, but I can't really see it.

[He lowers himself down a little, so Vegas can see the little critter sitting in his hair.]

What kind of bat is it? Vegas would recognize a fruit bat.

What kinda bat is it? Vegas would recognize fruit bats.]
...aw, cute little guy.

[Vegas peers at it for a moment.]

Let's go withhhhh a bumblebee bat!

[It is a cute little guy, but Prefect still doesn't like it. He's getting used to the feeling of it snuffling around in his hair though, as he waits for a reply.]

Gotcha!

[Vegas stares]

...an't believe I'm saying this. But you honestly may want to get someone to smack you upside the head.


....Why is he bothering you? he looks kinda cute.

[buywithme.livejournal.com]

What kind of bat is it? Is it the bad kind?

[Prefect frowns.]

He's going to poo. Or possibly give me rabies.

[takencareofyou.livejournal.com]

...Doesn't look bad. Then again you can never know with those ilttle fuckers.

Just don't provoke him and he won't. Animals do that shit 'cause they're scared.

[buywithme.livejournal.com]

[Suddenly Prefect is holding perfectly still.]

If I don't bother him, do you think he'll go away?

[Pause]

Won't getting hit upside the head provoke him?
