Don't feed the tribble

Comments

Dr. Grant followed Elizabeth's owl until he came to a sea of tribbles in the corridor and several students trying to contain them. He muttered something that sounded a bit like "for duck's steak" under his breath before pulling out his wand.

"What happened here?"

[lizzyswan]

'I was walking along the corridor, when a few rat-like fluff balls came along. And now there are... Ewwww get off my leg!!!'

[catremistrae]

"It's called a tribble. It's not going to hurt you." He flicked his wand and said a spell that plucked the tribble from her leg and set it on the floor. "Dammit, I said not to overfeed them," he said to no one in particular. He looked at Lizzy. "Do you have a wand?"

[lizzyswan]

She took out her wand, 'Um... yeah. I have one. I just haven't used it that much. And they were all multiplying when I came along. It was utterly insane.'

[catremistrae]

"Okay, here's what you do." He showed her a simple spell that pushed the tribbles back a few feet. "That will keep them off you. Can you help me contain them, or would you rather leave?" He quickly scribbled out an owl for Oz and gave it to his house elf.

[lizzyswan]

'No, I'll stay. As long as they cannot urinate on me.' She begins scooping up bundles of tribble. 'Where shall I put them?'

[catremistrae]

"For right now, just try to keep them all in one place. I asked my TA to get some cages for them."

[lizzyswan]

'Okay...' She encourages the tribbles over, one still in her hands. 'Ouch!' she screams, dropping the tribble. 'That thing bit me!'

[catremistrae]

He stared at her. "They don't have any teeth."

[lizzyswan]

'Well something just bit me!' She looked around trying to find a possible explanation then back at Dr. Grant. 'Was it you?' she said, her eyes narrowing.

[catremistrae]

"Trust me, if I had bitten you you'd be feeling a hell of a lot worse," he said, thinking of the upcoming full moon. "Are you sure you're all right? Maybe you should go lie down."

[lizzyswan]

She seems disappointed. 'No I'm fine...' she replied, beginning to gather them up again. 'But I swear something bit me.'

"Hi Dr Grant! What was that spell again?"

Kaylee has all the pockets of her overalls full of tribbles and her arms are kind of full too.

[catremistrae]

"Here." He shows Kaylee how to move them around. "We need to get them all in one place until those cages get here."

[kayewinnet]

"Thanks" She starts herding them as much as she can.

"Into that corner, do you think?"

[catremistrae]

"That should work."
