Meet Squiffles!

Description

Meet the crown jewel of my birthday presents, Squiffles the tribble! :aww: Yeah, Orin's tribble is auburn-furred in my headcanon, but the only choices in the store (this was one of the birthday presents I already knew about) were tan and gray, so I went with the tan and named her "Squiffles" anyway. Or actually "Montgomery Squiffles" after a conversation with :iconflyingpenguin567:. Tribbles are androgynous so "Montgomery" can be Squiffles' male half, I guess. ;) ANYHOW, this little thing is so adorable! :iconawwloveplz: It has a voicebox-vibrator thing inside, so you can set it to purr (happy) or scream (Klingon mode) and buzz around as it's doing so. Funny story--it makes its noise and movement for five seconds or so, then quits, until you trigger it again. It took me a while to figure out how this happened, because I gently tilted Squiffles back and forth to try to get her to make more noise and nothing happened. Then I switched her to upset-shriek mode, then was turning her over to get her back to happy purring--and apparently when you tilt the tribble all the way over, that's what triggers the voicebox again, because suddenly she wouldn't quit! "Skree skree skree skree skreeeeee! Skree skree skree skree skreeeeee!" She was shaking all over in my lap so much I couldn't get ahold of the switch to stop her! FINALLY I did and shut the sound effects and shaking off, and I held her closer and petted her saying "I'm sorry, I'm SORRY!!..." Poor thing! I really felt like my tribble was alive and I had scared the little dear out of her wits! :giggle:

Anyhow, she's adorable, and here's a picture of her sitting on my bed. Don't worry, I think she's a "safe" tribble and won't be flooding the house with babies. ;)
