Wew In'gow? Ewwy, fwuffy nosie tingwy." >Indigo >What an odd name >"Mistah nummies? Wew fwuffy? Wew dadee?" >The fact that it has an owner makes the psychological part of this experiment loads easier "I'd like to play a game with you." >You try to show as little emotion as possible in your voice >Must remain unbiased for science >"Indago wuv game! Wha pway?" It gazes up at you with sparkling eyes >You lift the cover of the dish in answer >Underneath it lies a sizeable (by fluffy standards) mound of spaghetti >The good stuff this time >Don't need your subject passing out mid-experiment >Fluffy pony's eyes grow wide at the sight >It waggles its front hooves towards the steaming pile and nearly tips over its baby seat >The tray of the seat secures it in place "You won't get any if you keep struggling." >Fluffy doesn't even hear you over its grunts of effort >Undeterred, its wings flutter uselessly as it struggles to get out >It babbles the entire time, spewing out about twelve different pronunciations of spaghetti >You give it a light thwack on the nose "Shut your mouth or I'll eat it all myself." >This seems to calm it down a bit >Defeated, it sits back in the chair, watery eyes gazing longingly at the pasta paradise before it >You lean forward >The smell is wafted into the fluffy's nose and it lets out a pitiful whine >You briefly consider ripping its legs off >"Why dawk?" >You look up and realize author is closing the tab again >Goddammmit >He's never going to finish this
