- >You are a worker for the Department of Fish and Wildlife's Division of Fluffy Pony Management.
- >Otherwise known as the 'Fluffy Pony Judgment Squad'.
- >Today has not been kind to you.
- >Four feral herds required assessments, and you had to annihilate three of them.
- >The good herd, a little pack of thirty, was your first assignment.
- >The other three were annoying as all hell to terminate.
- >It took you almost six hours.
- >Six hours of wading through waves of self-defense shit.
- >Six hours of hunting down and killing stragglers.
- >Six hours of dealing with agitated fluffy mares, screaming at you to leave their foals alone.
- >You are in no mood to see another fluffy pony today.
- >So, of course, your supervisor calls just before your shift ends.
- >You're the closest to a report from a gated community having a problem with, you guessed it, a feral herd.
- >One of those fancy cliffside places.
- >If it's gated, how the hell did the fluffy ponies get in?
- >Whatever.
- >You grit your teeth and drive up there.
- >When you arrive, you have to drive around for a bit to find them.
- >It's drizzling, too! Fucking wonderful.
- >You see a couple of fluffy ponies beside a house, apparently acting as scouts.
- >When you park and get out, they waddle around back, babbling about your presence.
- >You follow them.
- >Roughly forty fluffies are wrecking some yuppie's vegetable garden.
- >You see five pregnant dams off to the side, being fed by a few attendants.
- >Three dams have already foaled, and are busy tending to their kids.
- >They all become nervous upon seeing you.
- >A bright red pegasus approaches, the two scouts from earlier flanking it.
- >”Go 'way, dis fwuffy pwace now! Fwuffies gif yummy nummies to mummas, hewp make nummies fo' babehs!”
- >The smarty friend.
- >You resist picking him up and punching him in the face until his skull collapses into a fuzzy, decorative ashtray.
- >Gotta follow the protocol. Assessment first.
- >The herd, made restless by your presence, enters a defensive stance.
- >Bloated dams are rolled into a tighter clump, and surrounded by puffy-cheeked males.
- >Attendants help put foals on their mother's backs, then escort the families to a position near the dams.
- >The other females waddle along to the rear of the herd, trying to comfort the nervous dams, while also making sure the foals stay with their mares and feel safe.
- >The rest of the males flank their smarty friend, who continues to babble threats at you that you could give less than a shit about at this juncture.
- >From all this, you know the herd is highly organized.
- >You look down at the pegasus smarty.
- “Why are you messing up people's gardens?”
- >”Dese ow nummies now, gif to babehs an' mummas, make stwong fwuffies!”
- “You can't take people's food.”
- >”No cawe, take aww hooman nummies! Nummies fo' fwuffies now!”
- >The herd anxiously agrees with him, their huge, shining eyes never leaving you.
- >That's enough assessment.
- >God damn it, now you're going to be out here for hours killing all of these damn things.
- >You look off to your left.
- >Fifty yards away is the edge of the cliff; beyond is a sheer drop into a canyon of nearly six hundred feet.
- >There's no fence here. The property seems to run all the way to the precipice.
- >Gated community, huh.
- >These fools deserve to have their petunias raped.
- >You've got a job to do, though, and it's going to get done.
- >Suddenly, a thought occurs to you.
- >You point to over to the cliff's edge. Some of the fluffies look that way.
- “You know, there's a ton of spaghetti over there.”
- >”No wissen to hooman! Haf nummies hewe!” the smarty pegasus huffs.
- “Spaghetti. Dripping with marinara. Think about it.”
- >Some of the fluffies are drooling; they soon start bleating about 'sgettis'.
- >”Why munsta hewp fwuffies?” the smarty asks.
- “Hey, I don't like these people either. If you took their secret spaghetti...”
- >The smarty looks up at you with bated breath, awaiting the rest of your words.
- “...why, you'd be the best smarty friend ever. You are the best, aren't you?”
- >He begins jumping around, fluttering his wings and nodding fiercely.
- >”Munsta wight! Smawty am bes' smawty eva! Fank you fo' hewp fwuffies, munsta!”
- >He hugs your legs and barks commands.
- >”Fwuffies go! We ge' sgettis fo' aww fwuffies, be bes' fwuffies eva!”
- >The herd charges the cliff, shouting with glee about the secret spaghetti.
- >They're in such a hurry, they leave the swollen dams behind.
- >Foals fall off their greedy mothers' backs, chirping wordlessly or crying out in terror.
- >You walk slowly after the herd to monitor the impending carnage.
- >The fluffies slide and stumble as they run.
- >Their hooves cannot get grip on the wet grass.
- >By the time they realize they've been had, inertia sends them flying off into the canyon.
- >Fluffies in the back slam into those that managed to stop short, causing both parties to fall to their doom.
- >Every single mobile adult fluffy just ran off a cliff because you said spaghetti was there.
- >You'd compare them to lemmings, but that would be a grave insult to lemmings.
- >You walk over to the five bloated dams amidst a fading chorus of screams as the herd plummets to its doom.
- >”Why fwiends weave? Come back, gif sgettis to mumma?” a dam asks you.
- >You just shrug at her.
- “I'll take you to them, if you want.”
- >”Fank you! Hooman nice to mumma, hewp ge' sgettis!”
- >Two at a time, you carry them to the cliffside.
- >They continue to thank you for helping them get the 'seequet sgettis'.
- >Their praise dies the moment you toss them into the void, morphing into abject terror.
- >You go back to collect the now-orphaned foals.
- >The larger ones squeak words at you, mostly a cacophony of 'hewp', 'wuv', 'mumma', and 'dadda'.
- >The smaller ones just chirp frantically, terrified chants of 'yeep' that make them sound rather birdlike.
- >With a flourish, you launch them into the air and turn around, not even bothering to witness their fall.
- >Tomorrow morning, you're going to hate yourself.
- >You'll regret being so callous, lying, and throwing innocent babies to their deaths.
- >Right now, however?
- >You're fresh out of fucks to give.
