The Six Tests: The Society: Part I

~~~~~~~ This is the first story of a series of stories ~~~~~~~

>You're a pretty cruel guy
>You don't sadistically kill things
>Rather you expose them to situations to learn more about what makes them tick
>Though, those situations mostly end with the eventual death of the test subjects

>You've decided to learn how Fluffy Ponies work
>From the pet store, you buy eighteen fluffies
>Six of them are Earth, of those three are male and three are female
>Six of them are Unicorn of, those three are male and three are female
>Six of them are Pegasi, of those three are male and three are female
>It's a completely equal bunch, perfect for the test
>But, for this test, you'll only be using twelve
>Two Earth males
>Two Earth females
>Two Unicorn males
>Two Unicorn females
>Two Pegasus males
>Two Pegasus females
>You put the remaining six into a temporary sleep
>You'll use those later
>The test enclosure is a 20x20x20 meter sand-covered island in the middle of a lake
>The lake surrounding the island is too deep for a fluffy pony to travel across
>The only feature of this island is a small mountain going as high as the island is wide
>A small path spirals round the mountain to a cave dug in at the summit
>The cave is small, but enough for two fluffy ponies
>Here is the kicker: the cave contains a spaghetti dispenser
>That is the only source of food on the island

>You get out your notebook
TEST ONE: SOCIAL CLASS AND HIERACHY
>You are going to be monitoring how they react to a classic 'King of the Hill' scenario
>Your hypothesis is that there will be one fluffy pony that takes charge over the group
>You bet that it will be a Unicorn male, but we'll see

>On the night of the test, you give the twelve ponies a serum so they will awake from their deep sleep in a little while
>You sail to the island via a small raft
>You place the fluffies on the island's beach
>Now, you'll observe what happens over the coming days from the safety of the mainland, which is out of sight


~~~~~~~~ Day 1 ~~~~~~~~
>The fluffies start to wake
>"Where dis?" a few of them mutter confusedly
>Once the fluffies are aware of their surroundings, they see their fellow test subjects
>"New fwiend!" and "Wan' pway?" are common words said when fluffies meet
>The fluffies immediately start to group hug
>Half an hour later, they're still hugging
>One of the fluffy's stomach starts to rumble
>"Tummy hurt, vewy hung'y"
>Good, they're at least clever enough to understand basic body signs, you note down, that they're just able to comprehend that if they don't eat, they'll die
>"Wan' hung'y" A few of them start to mewl
>Their group hug ends
>They start to panic at the obvious lack of food
>"It's time" you say to yourself
>A lever that you pulled dispenses a little spaghetti into the cave

>After a few minutes, the scent of the spaghetti reaches the fluffies
>"What thats?" They question as they smell a familiar smell
>Suddenly one of the Earth males breaks out in sudden realisation
>"Swegetties!"
>The other fluffies seem to understand the Earth male
>One of the Pegasus males begins to run in the direction of the smell
>It doesn't realise that the path spirals round the mountain instead of straight up
>The Pegasus male slams straight into the wall, and falls over unconscious
>"Fuck, I forgot these things were worse than retarded" You say in fustration
>The other fluffies are fixed on the sleeping lump of fluff on the floor
>"Dis' fwiend stupid" A female Unicorn speaks out "That not how hilly works"
>The female Unicorn starts to trek the obviously highlighted path around the mountain
>The other fluffies follow suit
>"Wow, that was pretty neat." You say to yourself in approval at the female Unicorn
>"I think we're on to a winner here with my 'smart Unicorns' hypothesis"
One Unicorn male does not follow and instead stands there saying "Pway" over and over to the sleeping fluffy
>"Ok, I take that back" You chuckle to yourself
>The fluffies reach the top of the mountain
>They catch sight of the spaghetti
>"Sketties! Fix tummy hurt!" A few blurt out at their new prize
>A stampede forms to get to the spaghetti
>"My swegetties!" The Unicorn female speaks out in command
>None of the fluffies listen to her
>"MY sketty!" A pegasus female glides down from a short flight and lands in front of the cave
>The pegasus turns to face the remainder of the herd, who stop at this roadblock
>"MY SKETTY!!" The pegasus screams out
>The other fluffies are shocked in fear
>A fluffy male Unicorn realizes his need for food outweighs the selfishness of his peer
>"You meanie pone" He speaks out "You help tummy growl"
>It seems they have a rather childish understanding of this monopoly situation, nevertheless, it is almost the right understanding
>The Unicorn starts to look visibly distressed
>His horn lights up, getting brighter with more straining
>His horn explodes in a cacophony of electricity
>All of this is directed at the Pegasus blocking the cave
>The entire island is engulfed in light
>"Gahh, what the hell is this?" You say as you shield your eyes from the light
>You look out of your binoculars quickly to see what happened with the magic attempt
>What you see, is worse than all your previous experiments combined
>The Pegaus blocking the cave has been bisected at the waist, she is bleeding out fast
>The Unicorn's horn has been blown off, a cracked stump remains
>Both of them cry out in terror
>The other fluffies stand and watch as the Pegasus slowly dies of loss of blood and as the Unicorn is running around in circles, crying out at the immense pain
>The Pegasus' insides have been splattered around everywhere, she finally dies of blood loss
>The blood has stained most of the mountain top
>The leader female Unicorn speaks out with her childish wisdom "Swegetties don't wan' fluffy"
>"Yes, very childish wisdom" You say to yourself, still uneasy at what happened with the Pegasus
>The fluffies avoid the mountain for the rest of the day, staying at the beach
>On the side; you decide to name the fluffies that define themseles to keep track of anything in the future
>You decide to name the female Unicorn leader 'Leader' quite simply
>You decide to name the male Unicorn with no horn 'Blunt'
>You decide to name the other male who stayed at the beach asking the Pegasus male to play 'Oblivious' and 'Wall-lover' respectively
>The fluffies had no food today, you hope they'll overcome their fear of the mountain to get food or you'll have to think of something new
>You get your notebook
