>It is necessary that you keep these fluffies as calm as possible. >Since their stomachs are already distended, they are a threat. >If they become agitated and begin running around, a few may get out into the city. >You must kill them in the least traumatic way you can. >Thus, the bag of treats.  These aren't the treats they sell at stores, though. >These are the things they use to humanely euthanize fluffy ponies at vets. >Since fluffies are notoriously terrified of needles, they get these yummy death sentences instead. >They contain enough pentabarbitol to wreak havoc on the fragile fluffy nervous system. >”New fwiend haf nummies!” one shouts. >The herd wobbles over to you as fast as they can. >You now notice that some of the fluffies have injuries. >Some of them limp visibly, others have one eye, or one ear, or even no ears. >Some are missing fluff in various places, and a few only have one or two legs. >A sizable amount of other fluffies are wearing collars with tags. >Lost strays. >It's too late for them now. >”New fwiend, can haf nummies pwease?” a fluffy green unicorn asks, pawing at your legs. “Of course.” >You have a seat on the dirt, opening the bag. >You hand out treats, one at a time, to the fluffies that approach. >”Yummy nummies!” they bleat. >This encourages more fluffies to come over, including injured ones. >”P-pwease no huwt fwuffy,” a pinkish pegasus missing one of her wings begs.  “Jus' wan' nummies fo' tummy...” >You pat her gently on the head and smile while feeding her the deadly delicacy. >A collared yellow unicorn stray comes up next. >“Am hung'y an' miss daddy, new fwiend take to daddy?” “Sure I will.” >”New fwiend hewp fwuffy!” he cheers, hugging you as tight as he can. >You feed him a treat and send him on his way. >”New fwiend no huwt fwuffy?” a blue earth fluffy with one eye asks.  “Gif nummies?  Wuv fwuffy?” >You pet him gently as he eats his last meal, reassuring him that you won't hurt him. >Fluffies come over one at a time. >They speak to you about being hungry, about not wanting to be hurt. >They miss their daddies and mommies, they miss the other fluffies in the houses they once occupied. >”Why sweepy?  New fwiend gif nummies!” you hear behind you. >A brown pegasus nudges the dying green unicorn you fed first. >His breathing is so slow, the pegasus thinks he's napping. >Even as you continue feeding the patient, jabbering fluffies, their friends begin to fall around them. >”Wha?  Why nappies now?”, “Fwiend sweepy!”, “Huggies sweepy fwiend!” >You receive more hugs during the next hour from fluffies than you have in the previous six months. >They bleat how much they love you for being nice, for giving them a toy, for feeding them. >They reward your kindness with licks, and nuzzles, and embraces. >You reward their trust with death. >Soon, over three-quarters of their number lie comatose and dying. >The remaining twenty-five or so are beginning to get nervous. >”Why fwiend no wan' huggies?” they begin to ask. >It takes more urging to get them to eat. “They're tired, let them sleep.  Come get a treat.” >After some work, you're down to five less than willing fluffies. >”Am scawed, fwiends take big nappies, fwuffy no wan' take big nappies...” a dark red pegasus says. >He understands what is happening. >”Big nappies?  Wha dat?” a purple unicorn asks, just after gulping down the treat you finally convinced her to take. >You reach into the bag and realize you've got a serious problem: you're out of treats. >Oh well, there are only four fluffies left. >You'll have to off them the old-fashioned way. >You stand up and walk over to the nervous red pegasus. >”No wan' big nappies, new fwiend, pwease no gif?” he pleads. “I won't.” >”Fank you!” he cheers, waddling over to hug your leg. >Before he can, you raise that foot and slam it down on his skull, popping it like a melon. >Brain matter and fluff cling to your boot as you walk toward the three remaining fluffies. >”Nuuuuuuu!  Why new fwiend huwt fwuffy?!” they bawl, clinging to each other for comfort. >The purple unicorn is feeling the effects of the drugs.  Her speech is slurred. >”Whaaaaaa...?  New fwiiiiiiend huw...huwt?  Fwuffy?” she drawls, stumbling around like a drunk. >The three fluffies left are too terrified to run. >”Pwease no huwt!  Pwease no huwt!” they shout at you. >You pick them up, one by one, and throw them down on the ground to injure them. >Sharp cracks come from their legs as they impact the dirt. >They lie on the ground sobbing, trying to drag themselves away from you. >Now that they can't get away, you stomp their skulls. >You're done here. >You start throwing fluffy corpses into the disposal cell while the purple unicorn waddles about, occasionally falling on her side and crying. >It's an odd sound, like a regular fluffy pony mewl slowed way down. >The tags of the collared strays catch your eye as you toss them in. >A yellow pegasus named Lemondrop. >A blue unicorn with a whitish mane named Gandalf. >A reddish-orange earth fluffy named Sunset. >All the tags have phone numbers, addresses. >You continue to drop the dead into their mass grave. >Was this one a once-beloved family pet that was no longer wanted? >Did this one get lost after being scared, and never found its way home? >Even though this one had only two legs, did it somehow escape its abusive owner to find a better life? >You feel a light thump on the back of your leg. >The purple unicorn has expired, tipping against your calf. >You throw her in last. >As you dust off your hands, you look around. >Across from you, a silvery pegasus with yellow eyes and a white mane and tail looks back. >Where the hell did it come from? >It – she, you quickly learn – begins shrieking.  “Munsta!  Munsta hewe!  Munsta huwt fwuffies!  Wun!  Wun 'way!” >She waddles away at top speed. >You look in the direction she's going and see a fuckton of swollen dams, and an equally high number of panicking attendants in the distance. >And you're all out of delicious death treats. >Shit.
