Drabble and Home
I'm back from Shore Leave and I had a most excellent time. There'll be a con report and a photo or two once I get settled in a bit (and peel the kitties off my ankles).
Speaking of kitties, as I was driving home, the following plot bunny bounded through the car. Rather fitting, I should think.
Title: The Naming of Cats
Fandom: Star Trek: TOS
Character: McCoy
Words: 100
The crewman elbowed his companion and nodded toward the figure entering the commissary. "Looks like a cat and a yeoman got caught in a transporter accident. Wonder if it needs a litter box."
"She," said Dr. McCoy from behind them, "Is Lieutenant M'Ress, a felinoid."
The crewman visibly paled at being caught out by a senior officer. "I didn't know."
"Apparently not. I'm guessing you also don't know that felinoids have retractable claws, fangs, and excellent hearing."
"Excellent hearing?"
"Better than a Vulcan."
The crewman gulped. "Um, maybe I should go apologize."
"I think that would be an excellent idea."
