Title: The Six Tests: The Society: Part I Author: BallsOfFluff Pastebin link: http://pastebin.com/XVYzkNS3 First Edit: Thursday 29th of March 2012 06:23:08 AM CDT Last Edit: Thursday 29th of March 2012 06:23:08 AM CDT ~~~~~~~ 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   DAY ONE SUMMARY: DEATHS: ONE PEGASUS FEMALE INJURIES: WALL-LOVER (HEAD TRAUMA), BLUNT (MISSING HORN)
