Why thank you for my tribble, Admiral. And you too, dear Inmate for suggesting it.

I think I shall name it Spock.

He told you it was me?

Why did he have to tell you it was me?

...the heck is a tribble?

[captain-jtkirk.livejournal.com]

It's a little ball of fur that coos when you pet it.

I was under the impression there were enough Spocks in your time.

(((OOC: You are my hero.)))

[captain-jtkirk.livejournal.com]

But there aren't any here and I just miss him so much.

[with_discipline]

What are tribbles?

[captain-jtkirk.livejournal.com]

They are balls of fur that purr when you pet them.

They're awesome.

[with_discipline]

...Balls of fur.

[gotgreenmagic.livejournal.com]

That sounds kinda cute...straightforward, I guess.

Try not to kill it.

[wdc-cartwright.livejournal.com]

Why name it Spock?

[captain-jtkirk.livejournal.com]

Yes, ma'am.

[captain-jtkirk.livejournal.com]

It's exactly like it sounds.

[captain-jtkirk.livejournal.com]

It's my first officer's name.

I think he'd find the sentiment touching.

[with_discipline]

Useless?

[gotgreenmagic.livejournal.com]

They say pets match their owners, right?

[with_discipline]

Do they?

A tribble? What- lord, not like that fur ball of Scotty's is it?

[captain-jtkirk.livejournal.com]

How Vulcan of you.

[captain-jtkirk.livejournal.com]

So you think I'm cute and you want to pet me all the time, too?

That makes me uncomfortable, Shego.

[You can hear his excitement, pretty much bleeding off through the speakers.]

It's exactly like that.

HE'S BACK

As I am Vulcan, that would seem redundant.

[captain-jtkirk.livejournal.com]

Now you know the irony of naming the tribble after Spock.

You can laugh. It's okay.

Hope tribbles have that calming effect on all Vulcans. >>

Doctor McCoy informed me that the High Council was saved, and that our culture would be preserved; I would have presumed you'd have a better understanding of it. Clearly I was mistaken.

I'm not even sure those things have a working brain you know.

[there's an eye roll and accepting the inevitable somewhere around here.] At least they're good for calming nerves, that's more than I can say for your new pet's namesake.
