[The Ororo that sits in her chair as the console comes online is not happy. She is soaking wet and wrapped in a towel that says she's fresh from the shower. The air about her has dropped numerous degrees by the way her breath frosts and the fact that the wet mop of hair half plastered over her face is starting to frost at the tips.]

They were cute. Cuddly. I could like the cuddly Furby angle. But this?

[She thrusts out her hand, in which she has fisted a lot of wet tribble fur.]

No. That's too far. They clogged my shower. This means war.

[With an irritated noise, she throws the sopping wet handful of tribble fur on the console surface, then points at the screen.]

This is officially crisis-level important. What're we doing about it? Because I'm about to make it look like Christmas out there and I could use a hand.

[With a disgusted noise aimed at the fur, she turns off the console. Replies'll come as she gets ready.]

[ooc; there's an action thread inside if you want to give Ororo a hand with her temper tantrum against the tribbles.]

But they are small bundles of fur. You knew they were going to have to shed at some point or another.

[It's lie having like. A few dozen small dogs in your house or something.]

Yeah, but in my shower? That's just wrong.

[Way to sound sensible about it, T'Challa. But, fine. She totally had expected shedding, just in a different way.]

I figured on dust bunnies from hell, okay?

[SORRY ORORO. He's too busy chuckling to feel sry for you kthx.]

Just try not to genocide the entire race. They could still be important tools for study.

[That... Okay. Good point. Sensitive point, but good point. FINE, NO GENOCIDE.]

You want me to fridge a couple for you too?

[Because that'd make three parties she could totally ditch these fuzzballs on.]

Ahh, you misunderstand. I prefer my shower drains unclogged.

[Fufufu he's joking. Well half joking. Honestly there are people like Stark who he is sure is trying to study them already. It might not be worth risking flooding his apartment with these things. :Ia]

I could shave them first.

[An eyebrow goes up with her offer. Ororo's still frustrated, sure, but frustration is no reason to ditch the sass.]

You really do not like them, do you?

[D'aaw you are adorable Ororo. Even despite the sassiness. He gives an amused smile.]

I will take a few off your hands.

I'll send a baker's dozen.

[And that, T'Challa, is a promise and a threat.]

And it's just too many. Haven't you ever had a pest problem?

[Sassy whine is sassy. And whiny. She's less frustrated than before, his good humour wearing off on her -- even if it's technically at her expense.]

Send as much as you need.

[He'll just use them for fur or something if they start to become too plentiful.]

I have. Though I don't believe they have quite invented a "be-gone" spray for these creatures yet.

Deal.

[Brace yourself, T'Challa, for she'll send a kedan with a box of twenty different colours just for you.]

And if only. [She'd kill for some Tribble-be-gone.] I've got a guy lined up to help me chum-out a bunch of them, but it's going to take work. An exterminator would be better.

[A beat.]

That, or a serious blizzard, but I'm not up to snuff for that.

I see. Hopefully your infestation matter gets resolved quickly then.

And while a blizzard might help... I'm not so sure that local citizens would appreciate the cold. [Oh Storm you are so adorable he can't even.]

Working on it.

[An honest, if sardonic, smile follows his statement.]

There's one I can name that'd appreciate it, but that's the deal when you're Jack Frost I bet.

If we were back home I would mistake that for a metaphor, but knowing this place I can never be too sure.

[Ororo laughs -- legit laughs -- at that wry observation. T'Challa, you are ruining her foul mood.]

Yeah, that name's as literal as it gets. Jack's a winter spirit and he digs the cold pretty hardcore.
