How about that downtime, huh?
Well, it gave me the chance to crank out this tale that I've been kicking around in my head since The Coward, but never got around to putting to |

Again with bipolar faggotry? |
| Anonymous #1464325 2 weeks ago |
ok, first he thinks he would scare them into leaving, then he decides to kill them for no reason apart from smarty refusing to give up
If that's not lazy-writing then i don't know what is |

@#1464325
You're not familiar with these stories are you? Typically the herd is too stupid to run away, especially if the Smarty Friend is too stupid to run. Anyhow he's an exterminator, why exactly should he put too much effort into scaring them off? @Cyrus Pff. By your definition anyone who possesses more then one emotion or behaves in a calm reasonable manner is bipolar. If that's your definition of "bipolar" then I must say the only good Fluffy stories are the "bipolar" ones. |

He's got a job to do. Giving them a chance to leave is just for him to clear his conscious. |

I wonder how Fireball will react to the repellant. |

>Typically the herd is too stupid to run away Shoo them away, for fuck's sake. It's not like the lawn could get any dirtier, seeing how they already crapped on it >By your definition anyone who possesses more then one emotion or behaves in a calm reasonable manner is bipolar. By my definition, anyone who resorts to needless killing is an idiot I called lord-anubis because he acts like fluffy lover in comments, yet in stories, protagonist is as asshole |

Sounds like Fireball is mostly an indoor fluffy. If the property's not fenced he's likely kept inside. |
| sigh #1464636 2 weeks ago |
Dude, fluffies are some of THE most block-headed creatures in existence. If they don't want to do something, or if a smarty friend doesn't want them to do something, then they're not going to do it.
Because they're stupid. |
| Cyrus #1464672 2 weeks ago |
^ He can push them or scare them. Fear does great things.
For God's sake, the guy has 4 FUCKING SHEPHERD DOGS and he can't drive them off... Someone mentioned on 4chan about some of our bipolars / hugboxers admitting to being teens. I begin to realize that it's true |

@ Cyrus
Smarty friends are arrogant dicks and that herd will cause trouble elsewhere and fall prey to a meaner ends if they ran off. Hell, they might run back. And by his definition, I'm bipolar as well. INTERNET REVELATIONS? DEAR GODS! |
| lordanubis #1465353 2 weeks ago |
@Cyrus If a herd is stubborn enough to not leave when they're told to, they'll just make trouble later if you try to drive them off. The guy was being paid to deal with the herd, he dealt with them.
@Cgeta Fireball is an indoor fluffy. The owner clearly doesn't have a fence for his yard, so she probably wouldn't go outside too often. And if she did, the smell will now keep her from venturing off. |

^You've never read these stories, have you?
In most fight-or-flight, instead of running for the nearest exit as far away as possible from the threat, the fluffies will either: a) "hide" by putting their hooves over their eyes. they can't see you, you can't see them and whatnot, despite the fact that this never, ever works b) stay where they are and beg for mercy while crying, pissing, shitting, and/or vomiting from fear; any dams are likely to give premature birth or fluff-splode from the stress, depending on the headcanon of the author, and most dams would rather die with their slimy foals then run for their own lives c) run around in circles screaming, often crashing into each other and causing injuries which make it even harder to escape d) stand their ground and shout ineffectual threats(despite the fact that fluffies couldn't intimidate a child), perhaps charging and attacking the threat's legs, even though fluffies couldn't harm a puppy, much less a grown man e) if any friends are injured, the fluffies will stay behind to try and hug their comrades' injuries away, despite the fact that this never works, ever Hell, in stories where the protagonist makes the herd leave, he often has to kill or maul at least one fluffy. Truly, fluffies are stupid creatures that deserve whatever fate befalls them. |

My comment was aimed at Cyrus btw, not Phil. |

Maul smarty then, shoo the others. This protafg is one of a few known to me to work with shepherd dogs, so with delicate handling, there wouldn't be any need to kill anyone |
| Splinter17 #1466308 2 weeks ago |
@Cyrus
There's a few problems with "maul smarty, shoo the others." Without a smarty to lead them, the fluffies will have no direction. Where would they go then? They're just as likely to do actions A through E as they are to panic and flee. Or, in an alternate scenario, there's a chance that another smarty will arise and then the herd will cause trouble again. It's better to exterminate most, if all all, of them, or capture them like in this and other stories to see if the feral fluffies can be rehabilitated(which is a lost cause, short of resetting them, which doesn't always work). And I should mention that mauling the smarty would still count as killing it since most fluffies are even more fragile and delicate than a newborn human baby; seriously, there are stories that state, for example, that without fluff to protect them, the fluffies can get sliced up by blades of grass and bleed to death. Being mauled by a dog, they'd probably bleed out, and getting their legs ripped off or broken is a slow death sentence. Nevermind the risk of infection from any sort of injury. |

@Cyrus
Seems to me that if you are going to get paid either way, why not take a shorter, easier and just as effective option? Plus if he chases them away he won't be able to save the actually smart ones; just leave them to die in the wild or to someone with the means to kill them. That is a good point about the dogs tho, why even train them to be non-lethal if you barely put in any effort to save the fluffies? |
| lordanubis #1466711 2 weeks ago |
He's not paid to be humane, he's paid to exterminate. Meaning kill. If he just drove them off, he'd have a pretty bad reputation as an exterminator. He offered to let the herd leave in peace because the client didn't necessarily want them dead, just gone. He clearly doesn't hate fluffies personally, but he has a job to do and it is obviously something needed, or else he wouldn't be in business.
Fluffies reproduce so fast, needing exterminators for wild herds is a necessity. But the exterminator isn't a sadist, so he designed a chemical mixture that kills them without any pain. I understand that you don't like reading about fluffies being killed, but given their biology, it's an inevitability. |

Cyrus here (too busy to login)
@1466308 Sorry, I meant "kill", not "maul" >Or, in an alternate scenario, there's a chance that another smarty will arise and then the herd will cause trouble again He could have used one of the smart ponies he selected earlier. Anyway, as soon as herd has left the land and it is covered with pesticides, it's no longer exterminator's problem @1466540 >Plus if he chases them away he won't be able to save the actually smart ones How come? He could rescue smarties and chase the rest of the herd away. >That is a good point about the dogs tho, why even train them to be non-lethal if you barely put in any effort to save the fluffies? +1 @1466711 If you make a character a fluffy killer, at least don't write him as "Mary Sue": either he does EVERYTHING in his power to chase them without killing, or he doesn't care at all and will use whatever means necessary, or else it sounds like hypocrisy "ohh, I'm gonna chase them away -> nope, imma gonna kill them, but i'll feel bad" |
| Epoch_Lionheart #1467127 2 weeks ago |
^ @Cyrus do try to pay attention, the exterminator here is trying to reduce the amount of blood on his hands to keep his conscience as clear as he could as an exterminator (don't ask me how that works). If chasing away doesn't work, then killing's gonna have to do to make sure they don't return (which is what the client wants here) |
| Cyrus #1467262 2 weeks ago |

>trying to reduce the amount of blood on his hands Not sure if taking this too literally >If chasing away doesn't work, then killing's gonna have to do And his fluffy repellents which he sprayed all over the place somehow won't work to keep this particular group away? |
| Cyrus #1467267 2 weeks ago |
Let's just say: exterminator isn't trying hard enough and makes a lot of mistakes on his way |
