Drabble: Frazzled

Title: Frazzled

Author: [livejournal.com profile] badly_knitted

Characters: Ianto, Nosy, mentions Team

Rating: G

Written For: Challenge 313 – Open at [livejournal.com profile] tw100. Prompt used is Challenge 240: Curiosity Killed The Cat.

Spoilers: Nada.

Summary: Nosy’s nosiness gets it into a spot of bother.

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

A/N: My twentieth drabble for this challenge.







Nosy was, as its name would suggest, somewhat nosy. Whatever anyone was doing, sooner or later the curious alien would have to investigate.



Usually, Nosy simply watched, finding even routine things fascinating. It would peer over Tosh’s shoulder at her computer screen or hang over the railings watching Owen performing an autopsy.



One day, poking around on Gwen’s desk, there was a zapping sound and suddenly Nosy’s fluff was standing on end. It gave a startled squeak.



“Let that be a lesson to you,” Ianto said sternly, retrieving the errant Taser. “Curiosity kills the cat, but it frazzles the Fluff!”



The End

Shocking story.

That's what you get for being literally nosy, lol! I don't think this incident will teach the little alien a lesson though xD

LOL! I bet it took forever to get its fluff to lay back down! Or a prodigious use of conditioner.

Watching Owen do an autopsy! Ugh! I'd be vomiting in the sink. ;p

Poor Nosy but as the saying says "Curiosity killed the cat and satisfaction brought him back" she will be sniffing around soon!

I have a picture of Nosy with sparks in its fluff going up to one of the humans and giving them one heck of a static shock now. *grins*

Aww bless, Poor Fluff.

I bet it doesn't learn from this incident though!
