Going to post it to /mlp/ eventually, but posting it here day by day first.  I will continue with the Abuser VS Quiet Guy series, but for now I really wanted to write this story.  It's a bit slow and lacking in violence by comparison to the first Smarty Disguise, but I promise it'll get better.   >You are the quiet man, foreman of the city dump >Not long ago, a fluffy abuser studied the ways of dumpster fluffies under you >You let him have his fun for a few days >Then you killed him >Rather, you trapped him and let the fluffies do your wetwork >Wet, stinky, foul, corn-flecked wetwork >It was nothing personal >You don't especially like fluffy ponies >Just part of the background like everyone else >You did it all for the sake of a game you're presently bored with >You remember the rush you had when you first ambushed the abuser >It felt good >You wonder if you could have that feeling again someday >You wonder if you could train someone to take the abuser's place >You wonder what you should do if your 'student' fails >Pet the one-eared orange pegasus you 'rescued' >Your trophy       >Be you >You don't hate fluffy ponies >Believe in live and let live >You've recently applied for a job at the city dump >Not the best job, but there aren't many to be had >You got a call back, and now it's your first day! >The foreman is waiting for you >Kind of a quiet person, but he answers any questions you have and is generally helpful >Notice an orange pegasus toddling around his office >He explains that fluffy ponies tend to form herds in the dump >Place was recently purged of fluffies, but new fluffies and sometimes entire herds show up daily >Not cost efficient to repeatedly set the place on fire >Tells you about a guy who was messing around with the fluffies >Tone changes when he explains the guy had an accident and drowned in fluffy shit >Very unfortunate >Explains that precautions need to be taken now when out in the dump >Hands you a two-way radio >And a piece of rebar that's sharpened on both ends >You ask why you would need something like that, and he simply answers 'Protection.' >You try to hand it back >You can't do something that inhumane >He pushes it back to you >Orders you to take it anyways >You set off to work, the quiet man leading the way   >You get to the spot you're going to be working at today >Quiet man is explaining the various tasks >Mostly just driving the bulldozer, but occasionally going on walks for security purposes/checking for things that shouldn't be in the dump >Tells you to make sure you've got something in the event of fluffies >As if on cue, a group of ragged fluffies wander into the clearing behind you and begin digging for food >Quiet man nods to them >Tells you now is as good a time as any to 'assert yourself' with them >The fluffies see you, and they puff out their cheeks and begin growling >'Go way munsta!  Fwuffies fin foodies!  Dis ow spot!' >A green unicorn is now standing between the two of you and the rest >They cheer for him in between mouthfuls of refuse as he rears and kicks his stubby front legs at you >He falls backwards and lays there wiggling >'Hewp!  Hewp fwuffy!' The others run and begin pushing on his sides to right him, his fluff covered in fresh garbage >You think the whole scene is comical and adorable >The quiet man abruptly steps forward, causing the fluffies to scamper together and growl at him >He reaches down and grabs the little unicorn as the other fluffies nip at his bare arm and buck his legs >They don't hurt him, and it seems like at the best of times they have no offensive capabilities >As the little unicorn raises in the air it begins to squeal and kick, demanding to be put down >Tiny sparks flare from its horn, only to be extinguished when the quiet man wraps his free hand around the horn >'We are working here.  You will have to graze elsewhere for the time being.' >The only response he gets is a raspberry, followed by cheers from the others on the ground >He turns to you >'That is what trying to reason with them will achieve.'  Tightening his grip, he violently beds the unicorns horn >The unicorn squeals in pain as it voids its bowels on the quiet man's boots >Holding the unicorn by the neck, he continues to twist and bend the horn >You instinctually try to grab his arm, but by the time to get to him he has dropped the unicorn back into it's now crying friends >The fluffies are wailing in fright and staring up at the quiet man >The little unicorn is trying to hold his horn but his arms only reach high enough to cover his eyes >The horn looks swollen and discoloured, and is now crooked in a couple of places >'Why hooman make owies?  Fwuffies just hungy!  No hurt fwend hown!  Him good fwuffy!' >The only response they recieve is the quiet man pointing at them, then pointing away >No expression on his face >The fluffies grab one last mouthful of food then begin sadly walking away >They try to hug their weeping friend, but occasionally trip while trying to walk on two legs >The site is terribly sad, and you can't believe the callousness of the man next to you >'What is wrong with you?  They're harmless!' >'They're hostile.' he replies.  'And I'm not closing this place because you got killed or injured trying to hug vermin.' >You're stunned >He gestures to the bulldozer and tells you to get to work >He says he'll be checking on you   >You're working >Driving bulldozer >The horn works quite well for keeping fluffies at bay >A few sit and cover their eyes, crying at the loud noises >You recognize this as them trying to hide >A couple of times you get down to nudge them along >They scream when you do this, but they seem hardy enough to not die from fright >As you're driving up a path, you notice a relatively small herd trying to cross the road >About 12 of them >A magenta fluffy unicorn is leading them, barking orders >Two swollen dams being rolled by pegasus attendants >You're sitting there watching when someone shines a light in your eyes >You freeze as you realize the quiet man has returned to check on you >'Something wrong with the bulldozer?' he asks, a hint of sarcasm in his voice >You grimace and point to the fluffies crossing the road >He shakes his head, and starts towards the fluffies >You feel a chill as you turn off the bulldozer and jump down after him >The unicorn regards you both >'Fwuffies gonna fin new home pwace!  Scawy monsta fwuffy new smawty, so fwuffy take dese fwuffies!' >'Is that so...' the quiet man answers with mock interest in his voice >Beaming, the little fluffy nods.  'I is gon' be good smawty!  Dis my fwuffies!  Take somewhewe with wotsa foodies and be safe from monsta fwuff!' >'You're all lucky I only have time to kill one of you.' >Without missing a beat, he grabs the little unicorn and lifts it over his head before smashing it into the ground >You don't know if it survived, because he immediately punts it away >It dissappears behind a pile of garbage >'Now get off my goddamn road.  He might not hurt you...' he says, then peers at you out of the corner of his eye >Then he adds, 'Yet.' >'But I have no such reservations.' >The fluffies scream in horror, some asking why he killed their smarty friend >Others begin frantically rolling the dams back the way they came >A quick stomp of his foot sends the stragglers running, but also scares away the attendants of one of the dams >A little mint green unicorn with a two-toned green mane and tail >'Hewp!  No weave mumma!  Mumma big, can't woll!' She cries and covers her eyes as she sees the quiet man walking towards her >You've seen enough, and grab the little dam before the quiet man can get to her >He stiffens, but says nothing to you >You set the wriggling fluffy gently down by her crying attendants >'Be more careful!' you scold.  'If you leave her again, you'll...you'll get the SORRY STICK!' >You feel like an idiot given the angry sociopath standing behind you and the general lameness of the threat >But it works >The attendants squeal in fear and beg you not to hurt them, hiccuping apologies from behind reddened eyes and sniffling noses >They begin to go back the way they came, sobbing lightly >You turn to face the quiet man, fulling expecting him to give you another lecture >But he's already leaving   >It's the end of your first day >Managed to get through it with no further incidents >Noticed you were being watched a couple of times by the quiet man, and plenty of times by fluffies >Weren't bothered though >As you're walking towards the gate, you notice the orange fluffy pegasus from earlier >You know it's the same one, it's wearing a collar and is missing an ear >It's not venturing far into the dump, but it's craning its head to look around as best it can >'Fwuffy know dis pwace?' it asks noone in particular >'Were you a stray here?' you ask it.  It jumps at your voice, but it doesn't run away >It turns and sits down, then stares at you >It's sort of creepy, like its owner >'Fwuffy...stway?' >'Like, did your owner find you here?' >It scrunches its face like it's trying to think >It clearly doesn't remember, which isn't surprising for a fluffy >Their memories are pretty bad >Just then the quiet man emerges from the office and walks over to the orange fluffy >He's carrying a dufflebag on his shoulder, but he's wearing the same clothes as before >He sets a hand behind it's back haunches, then puts a hand on its chest, then lifts it up to his shoulder >The fluffy babbles about how happy it is to see daddy, but you can hear the quiet man scolding him about being outside >'Fwuffy sowwy.  Daddy see new fwend?' The fluffy looks at you, it's huge eyes gleaming >The quiet man looks at as though he didn't realize you were there >A few tense moments pass, then he speaks >'You start at 8:00 tomorrow.  Try to leave the candy-ass attitude at home tomorrow.' >You're really starting to hate this guy >'New fwend made a candies?' the fluffy chirps excitedly.  The quiet man gives him a gentle shake >'No.  Don't encourage him.'  With that he turns and begins walking towards the main gate >The orange pegasus waves energetically to you and shouts 'bye byes' and 'fwuffy wuv you' >You feel a little better about this day
