Drabble: Facts Of Fluff

Title: Facts Of Fluff

Author: badly_knitted

Characters: Jack, Owen

Rating: G

Written For: Challenge 310 – Caffeine at tw100

Spoilers: Nada.

Summary: Owen tries to explain Fluff reproduction.

Disclaimer: I don’t own Torchwood, or the characters.

“Let me get this straight,” said Jack. “You’re telling me that Fluff reproduction is tied to the amount of caffeine in their systems?”

“Sort of.” Owen looked thoughtful. “Look, it’s not like giving Nosy coffee will make it spontaneously start producing more Fluffs. It’s more that they can’t reproduce at all unless they have enough caffeine in their diets.”

“Then there’s not going to be a Fluff population explosion?”

“Let me put it this way. We’ve had Nosy more than five years and we only have one baby Fluff.”

“So that’s a no?”

“Right.”

“Pity. We could’ve made a fortune.”

The End

I know I'd love to have Fluff of my own.

[bk_forever]

So would I, but I'm afraid a Fluff around here would pick up a lot of dust, lol!

Thank you!

[lexxiescott]

Maybe it could be a Fluff duster and then you could take it outside and brush it off. Might help with the housework.

[bk_forever]

So instead of cleaning the house I'd just have to clean the Fluff, lol!

A self-cleaning Fluff would be even better =D

[lexxiescott]

I wonder if you could train a Fluff to dust/clean the house and then go outside and take a bath to clean itself off? Nosy certainly seems to be a very clean and intelligent Fluff. I bet it's possible. :)

Bathing inevitably leads to a soggy Fluff, better to teach it to brush itself thoroughly or use the vacuum cleaner, lol!

[lexxiescott]

I now have an image of Nosy vacuuming itself at the end of every day. The look on Jack's face is priceless. *grins*

[bk_forever]

I may have to write that scene one day, lol!

[lexxiescott]

You really should. Way, way too much fun. :)

[bk_forever]

I've made a note of the idea =)

[lexxiescott]

Keep giving it the coffee boys.
The more fluffs the merrier :-)

Nosy will happily drink all the coffee they give it, but that won't guarantee more Fluffs.

Nosy believes in planned parenthood, it won't produce a Flufflet until it's found a suitable couple for its offspring to bond with. The empathic bonds Fluffs form with other species are vital to their emotional wellbeing, and honestly, Nosy doesn't have many people to choose from since it's kept secluded.

Thank you.

It's a good thing the same can't be said for the rest of the team! Can you just see little Owens running around, having spontaneously being spawned from its parent?

The world would explode...

[bk_forever]

LOL! Or worse, multiple Gwens!

I wouldn't mind lots of Iantos though...

Thank you.

awwww but I want a fluff one! and I make really good coffee!

[bk_forever]

If Fluffs could exist, I'd make sure you got one!

Thank you!

[owensheart.livejournal.com]

LOL i wouldnt mind a fluff for a pet.

Great story.

[bk_forever]

I'm sure they'd be very popular, I know I'd like one!

Thank you!

*giggles* Kind of like Tribbles! ;)

[bk_forever]

Thankfully, not quite - Fluffs at least show restraint when it comes to reproducing - but you only need one Fluff and plenty of caffeine to get more Fluffs, lol!

Thank you!

but may be related is that this magical coffee Ianto??

Me too!

[bk_forever]

Fluffs breed when they choose to breed, as long as they get enough caffeine.

Thank you!
