    Anon is sick of Fluttershy's shit, so he devises a plan to psychologically destroy her using gnomes
  4. 4.
     
  5. 5.
    >Be Anon
  6. 6.
    >And be clearing out old inventory for Filthy Rich
  7. 7.
    >He'd been meaning to get someone to clear out the storage room of Barnyard Bargains, but the cheap bastard couldn't find anyone willing to do for less than reasonable pay
  8. 8.
    >Luckily for him and unluckily for (you), you needed cash
  9. 9.
    >Apparently, government gibs don't last forever and your ass actually needed to find meaningful employment
  10. 10.
    >A few bottom of the barrel odd jobs later, and you're hauling crates of shit into a wagon for Filthy, and taking that shit to the dump
  11. 11.
    >He told you that you could dump all the old merchandise into the river for all he cares, so long as you get it off his property by sundown
  12. 12.
    >Amongst the miscellaneous goods you find various trinkets and baubles but pay them no mind
  13. 13.
    >Until you spot a low hanging shelf with... gnomes?
  14. 14.
    >Lots and lots of them too!
  15. 15.
    Heh, Filthy must've bought them in bulk but they never sold
  16. 16.
    >Getting back to work, you load them into a crate and plan on discarding them along the rest of the unsold goods
  17. 17.
    >But then a certain idea pops into your head
  18. 18.
    No... these are too good to give up...
  19. 19.
    >In fact, you know a certain yellow pony that could use a good scare
  20. 20.
    >Mulling over the details, you begin to form quite the devious plot
  21. 21.
    >So instead of getting rid of them, you take that shipment back home and hide them in your closet before returning to work to finish the job
  22. 22.
    >It'll be a multi-stage plan, but the payoff will be worth it
  23. 23.
    >Tonight... tonight is when your revenge begins...
  24. 24.
     
  25. 25.
    >Be Fluttershy the next day
  26. 26.
    >And today you're certain your fetish guess will be correct!
  27. 27.
    >You dress yourself with a white button-up shirt, black vest, and bow tie around your neck and torso
  28. 28.
    >You also pack a kit with a Cocktail shaker, glasses, some Liquor bottles, sliced fruits, and rohypnol
  29. 29.
    >You plan on wooing Anon with your cocktail making skills
  30. 30.
    >Maybe then he'll give you HIS cocktail...
  31. 31.
    >Smiling to yourself in the mirror, you're certain today is the day
  32. 32.
    >Loading everything up, you trot to your front door and head out to go to Anon's house
  33. 33.
    >But when you open your door you spot... a gnome?
  34. 34.
    >A regular-sized garden gnome is standing some several feet away from your front door
  35. 35.
    >How'd this thing get here?
  36. 36.
    O-oh my! ...Are you, um, lost, little one?
  37. 37.
    >The gnome, of course, doesn't answer
  38. 38.
    >Taking a step forward, you see a little note tucked under it
  39. 39.
    >Grabbing it, it says "Pay Tribute or face retribution."
  40. 40.
    ...What? Who... who did this?
  41. 41.
    >You look around, hoping to spot the prankster but see no one
  42. 42.
    >You frown at this poor joke
  43. 43.
    Hmf! It's not very nice to leave things by peoples front doors. But... maybe you'll look nice by my petunias.
  44. 44.
    >Studying it a little, it's sort of cute looking
  45. 45.
    >So, you choose to keep it
  46. 46.
    >Putting down your cocktail kit, you move the gnome right into your garden underneath the windowsill
  47. 47.
    >All in all, while it might've been a silly prank you got a nice little garden decoration out of it
  48. 48.
    >Feeling satisfied with its spot, you look at the clock through your window
  49. 49.
    Oh no! I'm running late! Anon get's so upset when I catch him after he's finished breakfast, I'm supposed to show up while he's eating!
  50. 50.
    >With that, you trot off not knowing that this was simply phase 1 of many, MANY more...
  51. 51.
     
  52. 52.
    >Be Anon again
  53. 53.
    >And be fucking pissed
  54. 54.
    >That bitch tried to roofie you this morning
  55. 55.
    >Again!
  56. 56.
    >But you have to admit she did a good job pouring that drink
  57. 57.
    >The way she was flipping the shaker and catching it in the air and how she managed to pour the cocktail while leaning backwards over her head was genuinely impressive
  58. 58.
    >Of course, she took your reaction as sexual excitement and spilt the damn thing all over your shirt in her own eagerness
  59. 59.
    >And the dumbass forgot she roofied the drink, so when she leaned in to huff your chest and run her tongue along you, she passed out
  60. 60.
    >You just left her there to go to work
  61. 61.
    >But you're still pissed and you've decided to move onto phase 2
  62. 62.
    >Like before, you wait until the middle of the night before heading out
  63. 63.
    >With your second gnome in store, you carry it to Fluttershy's cottage
  64. 64.
    >There, you see the first gnome by her windowsill
  65. 65.
    >Seems she adopted it
  66. 66.
    >That's fine, in fact, you predicted as much
  67. 67.
    >Moving the first gnome along with the second, you place them directly in front of her door like before
  68. 68.
    >And you leave a second note for her to discover
  69. 69.
    >With that, you leave knowing she'll no doubt be perturbed by the porcelain duo ready to greet her tomorrow morning
  70. 70.
    >And if that doesn't do the trick, believe me, you have a LOT more gnomes to leave around
  71. 71.
    >Be it one, two, or a dozen more, she'll crack
  72. 72.
    >And then she'll... uh... leave you alone or something
  73. 73.
    >Or have a psychological breakdown
  74. 74.
    >Either way, you head home
  75. 75.
     
  76. 76.
    >Be a yellow rapist again
  77. 77.
    >That's right, you're Fluttershy
  78. 78.
    >You yawn as you wake up and get out of bed
  79. 79.
    >Brushing your teeth with Anon's toothbrush you stole, you move onto feeding the animals, feeding yourself, and checking the mailbox and-
  80. 80.
    >You freeze
  81. 81.
    >Not one, but TWO gnomes greet you
  82. 82.
    >Their beady, lifeless eyes stare at you
  83. 83.
    >Dread creeps in as you look down and see a small note tucked underneath one of them
  84. 84.
    >Hesitantly, you approach the pair and see the note reads:
  85. 85.
    >"TRIBUTE OR RETRIBUTION"
  86. 86.
    >You're breath hitches
  87. 87.
    >...This is still just a prank, right? ...Right?
  88. 88.
    >You say, to no one in particular
  89. 89.
    >Not knowing what to do, you move the first gnome back by the windowsill and the second one next to it
  90. 90.
    >You were going to go to Anon's again, but this seems more important...
  91. 91.
    >You were planning on making some banana bread... maybe you'll leave a slice out
  92. 92.
    >For... the gnomes or something
  93. 93.
    >Quietly, you sneak back inside and shut the door
  94. 94.
    >Just for today... Anon's house can wait
  95. 95.
     
  96. 96.
    >Be Anon
  97. 97.
    >And be feeling like a million bits
  98. 98.
    >With no Flutters fucking up your morning, you got off to a great start
  99. 99.
    >You had a handful of simple jobs but you accomplished them with the fortitude of a simple man eager to earn his keep
  100. 100.
    >Mayor Mare had you clean up some graffiti on some back streets, Vinyl needed a hand moving sound equipment to the gazebo in the park, and Mr. Cake had you take a busted oven to Rusty Gears to get it scrapped
  101. 101.
    >All in all, you got a bit of coin from all that
  102. 102.
    >...Is this what productive members of society feel like?
  103. 103.
    >For the first time, you think that maybe, just maybe, Ponyville can actually be a place you could call home-
  104. 104.
    >"G-good afternoon, Anon"
  105. 105.
    >Goddamnit
  106. 106.
    >Any momentary joy you were feeling is evaporated the moment Fluttershy decided to remind you of her existence
  107. 107.
    >Turning around, you see her standing there slouched over a bit with her mane covering most of her face
  108. 108.
    >She seems... more trepid than usual
  109. 109.
    >Good, the plan is working
  110. 110.
    What do you want? I'm busy.
  111. 111.
    >"I, u-um, I'm v-very sorry I was too busy to come by this morning... I was going to ask if-"
  112. 112.
    No
  113. 113.
    >"O-oh... okay. Um... it was very nice to see you but I have to go-"
  114. 114.
    Yeah, me too.
  115. 115.
    >With that, you walk away
  116. 116.
    >Fluttershy too starts heading back home
  117. 117.
    >You can't help but smile to yourself
  118. 118.
    >Via gnome warfare, you've already planted a seed of uncertainty within her psyche
  119. 119.
    >Normally, she'd spend much more time and energy harassing you but she seems eager to return home in case something happens in her absence
  120. 120.
    >And she's right to feel that way because...
  121. 121.
    >Tonight, you'll move onto stage 3
  122. 122.
     
  123. 123.
    >Waiting for nightfall and wearing all black, you make your way to Fluttershy's cottage with a small gnome in hand
  124. 124.
    >You don't want her getting wise, so tonight you have to be more careful in case she's watching
  125. 125.
    >Approaching her cottage, you crouch down and stop by her mailbox some distance from her home
  126. 126.
    >opening it, you leave it in there along with another note
  127. 127.
    >Sneaking forwards, you approach the windowsill with the two gnomes
  128. 128.
    >On it is several slices of banana bread covered in tinfoil
  129. 129.
    >You snag them and start eating
  130. 130.
    Hmf. Y'know, she's an alright cook when she's not putting drugs into this shit
  131. 131.
    >Of course, you don't plan on ending things here with some meagre banana bread as your only reward
  132. 132.
    >No, no, no, you want RETRIBUTION for all the things she's done to you
  133. 133.
    >Stage 4, Stage 5, Stage fucking 100
  134. 134.
    >You're just getting started...
  135. 135.
    >After licking your fingers clean, you sneak out of there and return home knowing Fluttershy's going to wake up to a very special surprise in her mailbox
  136. 136.
     
  137. 137.
    >Be Fluttershy once more
  138. 138.
    >You get out of bed with a bit more haste than usual
  139. 139.
    >Skipping your morning routine and putting a pause on feeding the animals, you go straight to the front door and find...
  140. 140.
    >Nothing
  141. 141.
    >No gnomes today... and it looks like the banana bread was eaten!
  142. 142.
    >Prankster or gnome-demon, whoever it was, they accepted the offering
  143. 143.
    >Hopefully they now leave you alone
  144. 144.
    >Going back to your usual morning routine, you finally get around to checking the mailbox and see..
  145. 145.
    *Gasp* B-but I...!
  146. 146.
    >You see a small gnome tucked inside and another note
  147. 147.
    >Grabbing it, it reads:
  148. 148.
    >"Tribute unacceptable. RETRIBUTION INNIMENT!"
  149. 149.
    I-I...
  150. 150.
    >You choke back some tears
  151. 151.
    >This isn't a prank anymore! Somepony is going to do something bad if this keeps going on!
  152. 152.
    I'm going to Twilight! She'll know what to do!
  153. 153.
    >Little do you know, a certain someone was hiding out of sight waiting for you to leave...
  154. 154.
    >You walk at a brisk pace to Twilight's Treebrary
  155. 155.
    >Practically sprinting for you
  156. 156.
    >You arrive and knock on the front door
  157. 157.
    >Twilight opens it
  158. 158.
    >"Oh, hello Fluttershy! What brings you out here so early? I don't open the Library until-"
  159. 159.
    TWILIGHT, I'M BEING ATTACKED WITH GNOMES!
  160. 160.
    >The words fly out of your mouth and Twilight stares at you dumbfounded
  161. 161.
    >"...I'm... sorry? Could you repeat that?"
  162. 162.
    Somebody keeps leaving gnomes at my cottage and little notes about "Tributes" and "Retribution" and I left some banana bread but that wasn't good enough and their going to get me and-
  163. 163.
    >"Whoa, whoa, slow down. Alright, look. If someone's harassing you with gnomes I can come over and take a look at them if you'd like. Whoever's behind it either has a bizarre sense of humour or doesn't understand that they're bothering you."
  164. 164.
    *Sniff* So there isn't a gnome demon after me...?
  165. 165.
    >Twilight places a hoof on your shoulder
  166. 166.
    >"No, Fluttershy. There's no gnome demon. Let me see these gnomes and the two of us can figure something out, okay?"
  167. 167.
    O-okay, Twilight. ...Thanks for not laughing at me. I was scared you'd make fun of me for being scared of something so silly...
  168. 168.
    >"I wouldn't laugh at you, Fluttershy. let's go."
  169. 169.
    >The two of you trot off, not knowing what's taken place already...
  170. 170.
     
  171. 171.
    >Returning home with Twilight by your side, you see your front door slightly ajar
  172. 172.
    >You're pretty sure you closed it, did Angel Bunny sneak out?
  173. 173.
    >You open the front door and see nothing out of the ordinary
  174. 174.
    >...Until you see something resting on your side table next you your couch
  175. 175.
    >A tiny porcelain gnome with beady eyes and a malicious smile stares up you
  176. 176.
    >You let out a scream
  177. 177.
    T-Twilight! The gnomes are invading!
  178. 178.
    >Twilight approaches with a frown
  179. 179.
    >"Fluttershy, nobody's invading! But someone is definitely crossing some lines by entering without..."
  180. 180.
    >Twilight trails off
  181. 181.
    >You see her staring at something
  182. 182.
    >Following her line of sight, you see ANOTHER small gnome inside one of the bird cages
  183. 183.
    >And then a third one tucked between two books on your bookshelf!
  184. 184.
    T-there everywhere!
  185. 185.
    >"I... okay, new plan! First, we round up all the gnomes. After that, we'll catalogue them and start investigating this! This is... I can't deny that this is getting creepy".
  186. 186.
    >The two of you start searching around the cottage
  187. 187.
    >You find gnomes all over
  188. 188.
    >One in the sink, one under your pillow, one inside the ice box, one in the fireplace...
  189. 189.
    >They're everywhere!
  190. 190.
    >After one hour, you and Twilight find 23 gnomes altogether scattered around the cottage
  191. 191.
    >Then, you spend another full hour looking for the 24th
  192. 192.
    >"There has to be 24! Nobody would leave 23! It's two dozen, it has to be!"
  193. 193.
    >Twilight has stray hairs sticking up in her mane
  194. 194.
    >She, like yourself, is convinced there has to be a 24th BUT YOU JUST CAN'T FIND IT
  195. 195.
    Twilight! I can't go to sleep knowing there's one still in here! Is it under the floor boards? IS IT UNDER THE FLOOR BOARDS, TWILIGHT!?
  196. 196.
    >You're breathing heavily
  197. 197.
    >Twilight comes up and nuzzles you
  198. 198.
    >"Shh, shh... Just... you can stay at my place for tonight. Let's keep looking, but maybe we did get them all?"
  199. 199.
    >You're not fully convinced but you try to calm down
  200. 200.
    >Taking a deep breath, you feel your heartrate go down
  201. 201.
    >"This is what we'll do. We'll take these 23 small gnomes, the other small gnome you found in your mailbox, and the two normal sized ones all back to my place. I'm going to scan each and every one of them for any sort of magical signature. Do you still have the notes? I'll examine those as well. But if this keeps going on... maybe we should go to the guard."
  202. 202.
    The guard!? You really think we should?
  203. 203.
    >"...I don't know. Maybe we're just overreacting, but somebody entered your home and is demanding "tributes". Even as a joke, that sounds like extortion. If this is a prank by Rainbow or Pinkie, I'm going to talk to them and demand that they apologise."
  204. 204.
    >You sniff and nod your head
  205. 205.
    >The two of you spend another 20 minutes looking for anymore gnomes but don't find any
  206. 206.
    >Half-convinced there really is only 23 scattered around, the two of you start loading them all up and take them to Twilight's place
  207. 207.
    >You're not so much scared of spending the night at Twilight's place with a bunch of gnomes there, but rather, you're scared more gnomes will show up at your cottage demanding more tribute
  208. 208.
    >With that, the two of you head off
  209. 209.
    >You really want to see Anon
  210. 210.
    >He always makes you feel better...
  211. 211.
     
  212. 212.
    >Be Anon
  213. 213.
    >And be amused
  214. 214.
    >You can't risk returning to Fluttershy's cottage every time just to see her reaction
  215. 215.
    >But you know she had a good scare after you heard from Lyra that she and Twilight were hauling gnomes back to the Library
  216. 216.
    >But Twilight's involvement leads to some... complications
  217. 217.
    >She'll no doubt try to trace it back to you
  218. 218.
    >For now, you'll put a temporary pause on things
  219. 219.
    >The both of them are on high-alert at the moment
  220. 220.
    >Who knows if Twilight left some sort of magic ward that'll notify her if someone steps onto Fluttershy's property or something
  221. 221.
    >You don't have a magic signature, but it might detect movement or body-heat or whatever instead
  222. 222.
    >Tonight, the Gnome King sleeps knowing he's won the battle
  223. 223.
    >And he plans on winning the war...
  224. 224.
     
  225. 225.
    >Be Twilight, later that day
  226. 226.
    >The first floor of your library looks, quite frankly, bizzare
  227. 227.
    >There are 26 gnomes lined up with evidence tent cards next to each of them, numbering the items
  228. 228.
    >Painstakingly, you've examined each and every one of them using magic
  229. 229.
    >Besides the standard background ambient magic in all things, there's no discernable signature
  230. 230.
    >So either the culprit masked their signature... or a Gnome Demon moved them using supernatural abilities
  231. 231.
    >A silly thought, really
  232. 232.
    >...But let's not dismiss anything too quickly
  233. 233.
    >After scanning them, you and Fluttershy went to the Market
  234. 234.
    >There, you looked around for any stalls selling gnomes or garden decor
  235. 235.
    >The only stall selling any was Roseluck's, but she only carried a few
  236. 236.
    >You'd asked if she sold any recently but she shook her head
  237. 237.
    >Fluttershy stood several paces back while you interrogated Roseluck
  238. 238.
    >She's... not very trusting of gnome-sellers at the moment
  239. 239.
    >Having no luck, you sought out Rainbow and Pinkie
  240. 240.
    >Rainbow laughed and gave whoever did it props, saying she wishes she had the idea
  241. 241.
    >You stomped your hoof and told her it was serious
  242. 242.
    >Rainbow just chuckled and said "Yeah, yeah. But seriously, it wasn't me. I like pulling pranks, but spending all that money on gnomes for something silly? C'mon, I got better things to blow bits on."
  243. 243.
    >You bit your tongue at that
  244. 244.
    >Cider and Wonderbolt jerseys aren't exactly "Better things", but you said nothing
  245. 245.
    >Next, you went to Pinkie
  246. 246.
    >She squealed and wanted to see them, saying she'd take them of your hands
  247. 247.
    >She'd call them Gnorman, Gribble, Wendel, Thistlewick, Bumblesnatch...
  248. 248.
    >You had to cut her off
  249. 249.
    >You doubted it was her due to the fact there wasn't any sort of icing or confetti involved, but you had to make sure
  250. 250.
    >Returning to the library, you're stumped
  251. 251.
    >The only lead remaining are the notes
  252. 252.
    >It'll be the most time consuming, but maybe you can try cross-referencing the writing with documents from town hall?
  253. 253.
    >But you can't very well go through EVERY single person in Ponyville
  254. 254.
    >So tonight, you'll draw up who you think are most likely to pull such a stunt
  255. 255.
    >Looking over, you see Fluttershy lying down on a little air mattress and sleeping bag by your bed
  256. 256.
    >Poor thing...
  257. 257.
    >She doesn't have the constitution for this...
  258. 258.
    >You really don't want to take this to the Guard
  259. 259.
    >It'll be turned into a whole thing
  260. 260.
    >IF they take this seriously in the first place
  261. 261.
    >Sighing, you put down your quill and head over to your bed
  262. 262.
    >"Twilight... will the gnomes get me?"
  263. 263.
    No, Fluttershy. They won't *yawn* get you.
  264. 264.
    >"...Twilight, do you think gnomes are Anon's fetish?"
  265. 265.
    >You feel a blush form on your muzzle
  266. 266.
    F-fetish? I, er, what do you mean? Are you sure you're using that word correctly? If you're asking if he likes gnomes... maybe?
  267. 267.
    >Fluttershy yawns
  268. 268.
    >"Okay, I'll ask him tomorrow. Goodnight, Twilight"
  269. 269.
    Goodnight, Fluttershy
  270. 270.
    >...
  271. 271.
    >Anon
  272. 272.
    >He's complained to you more than once about Fluttershy's... advances
  273. 273.
    >Very outlandish stories
  274. 274.
    >Slander even
  275. 275.
    >You look over to Fluttershy's sleeping form
  276. 276.
    >C'mon... there's no way THIS pony is even capable of half the things he's said
  277. 277.
    >That guy called her a rapist!
  278. 278.
    >That jerk
  279. 279.
    >But now you're thinking...
  280. 280.
    >You plan on making a list of suspects tomorrow morning
  281. 281.
    >Maybe his name will be on it too
  282. 282.
    >With that, you go to sleep
  283. 283.
     
  284. 284.
    >The next few days go by without much incident
  285. 285.
    >Twilight had tried to go to Mayor Mare about the situation and request written documents to cross-examine hoofwriting with the notes, but Mayor Mare said no
  286. 286.
    >She said the gnomes themselves weren't much cause for concern, but finding them inside Fluttershy's home was grounds of trespassing
  287. 287.
    >But that means Fluttershy needs to take this to the Guard, and if THEY request documents to cross-reference then Mayor Mayor will comply
  288. 288.
    >Twilight was unhappy with such news
  289. 289.
    >Mostly because the Guard wouldn't bother doing a proper investigation into the matter in the first place
  290. 290.
    >They'd simply log the incident and inform Fluttershy to update them if it continues
  291. 291.
    >In the meantime, you've been biding his time
  292. 292.
    >Who are (you)
  293. 293.
    >Why, you're the Gnome King himself, Anonymous
  294. 294.
    >However, during this pause this meant Fluttershy returned back to her cottage
  295. 295.
    >Leaving the incident behind her, she goes back to her own regular routine
  296. 296.
    >Taking care of animals, spending time with her friends... and pursuing her one, true love
  297. 297.
    >Her next two fetish guesses involved her being a lumberjack and accidentally leaving a gash in your floor boards
  298. 298.
    >And the other involving her being a maid where she mixed different types of cleaning agents and made mustard gas
  299. 299.
    >You think it's time to get back to work
  300. 300.
    >The gnomes had worked better than you'd expected
  301. 301.
    >But if Fluttershy was already back to her old routine, maybe it was time to remind her of them...
  302. 302.
    >Tonight, you'll up your game
  303. 303.
     
  304. 304.
    >It's the middle of the night, but instead of going to Fluttershy's cottage, you head over to Twilight's treebrary
  305. 305.
    >There, she has 26 of your beloved subjects tucked away somewhere as "evidence"
  306. 306.
    >They are the soldiers of your marching army
  307. 307.
    >The pointed spear held against the Yellow Devil
  308. 308.
    >As per most Ponyville citizens, the front door is left unlocked
  309. 309.
    >Sneaking inside, you look around
  310. 310.
    >Nothing out in the open, she probably moved them downstairs into the basement
  311. 311.
    >You approach the basement door but stop
  312. 312.
    >While the front door was unlocked, this one isn't
  313. 313.
    >But Twilight is many things, and magic-obsessed is certainly one of them
  314. 314.
    >Instead of a standard lock, Twilight would rather use a needlessly complicated magic ward to seal the door
  315. 315.
    >This makes things smoother for you
  316. 316.
    >While you won't be able to turn the handle, you can still touch the door
  317. 317.
    >No magic signature let's you interact with it without the thing sounding any sort of alarm
  318. 318.
    >But how would you open it?
  319. 319.
    >Simple, by removing the thing from its hinges
  320. 320.
    >The ward prevents you from turning the handle
  321. 321.
    >But why bother with the handle?
  322. 322.
    >Pulling out a screwdriver, you undo the hinges and move the entire door out of the way
  323. 323.
    >Then, you descend the staircase and see your dutiful vassals lined up
  324. 324.
    >With a burlap sack, you start placing all of them inside, carful not to bang them around too much lest you injure your retainers
  325. 325.
    >And with that, you ascend the staircase and flee into the night
  326. 326.
     
  327. 327.
    >Be Twilight again
  328. 328.
    >You wake up to the sensation of Spike tapping your shoulder
  329. 329.
    >Groggily, you open your eyes and ask him what he wants
  330. 330.
    >"Uh, were you renovating after I went to bed last night or something? Why'd you take the basement door of it's hinges?"
  331. 331.
    >You're eyes shoot open as you leap out of bed
  332. 332.
    >Racing downstairs you stop before your basement door leaning against the side of the wall
  333. 333.
    >The magic lock still gently pulsing purple as it remains activated
  334. 334.
    But that's...
  335. 335.
    >Tentatively, you walk down the steps and see... nothing
  336. 336.
    >And that's what frightens you
  337. 337.
    >The gnomes are gone!
  338. 338.
    >You slowed down with the investigation these last few days but...
  339. 339.
    >You didn't think they'd escape!
  340. 340.
    >You already know the answer, but you scan the area for any sort of magical signature
  341. 341.
    >Nothing
  342. 342.
    >But you do find a note
  343. 343.
    >You... don't want to read it but you pick it up anyways
  344. 344.
    >You read it out loud to yourself
  345. 345.
    The Gnome King is here...
  346. 346.
    >What
  347. 347.
    >What the BUCK
  348. 348.
    >Either somepony broke into your home last night and stole back their gnomes or...
  349. 349.
    >You gulp
  350. 350.
    >The way these things are bypassing magic...
  351. 351.
    >Is there really something more going on here?
  352. 352.
    >You race up the stairs back into the library and float several dozen books on mythology, rare magic creatures, legends, and unexplained phenomena
  353. 353.
    Spike! Send a letter! Request every book on magical creatures the royal archive can spare! ...And ask Celestia if there's a gnome kingdom I don't know about!
  354. 354.
    >Grabbing your quill and several notebooks, you get to work
  355. 355.
     
  356. 356.
    >The next few days are terrible for Fluttershy
  357. 357.
    >Twilight, seemingly convinced that a Gnome King might very well be terrorising Ponyville, throws herself at her research
  358. 358.
    >This means Fluttershy's emotional support has been taken away
  359. 359.
    >This also means that you needn't worry about Twilight's investigation finding out you're the culprit
  360. 360.
    >As such, you resumed your pranks
  361. 361.
    >A gnome left in her Chicken coop
  362. 362.
    >Another on her roof
  363. 363.
    >And the worst one being one in her bathtub
  364. 364.
    >Fluttershy isn't sleeping anymore
  365. 365.
    >Or leaving the house for that matter
  366. 366.
    >Her days are now spent on the lookout for more uninvited guests
  367. 367.
    >She's also been leaving out many different "Tributes" to try and appease the gnomes
  368. 368.
    >From some bits, more baked goods, a quilt, and so on
  369. 369.
    >You realised you were kinda stealing from her and felt bad about it
  370. 370.
    >Until the tributes turned into her offering up your stolen underwear and toothbrush
  371. 371.
    >Damn, she's giving up her prized possessions here
  372. 372.
    >Soon, you realise you don't need to leave many more around at this point
  373. 373.
    >The dread between discoveries is enough to terrify Fluttershy
  374. 374.
    >At this rate, all you needs to do is leave one once every few weeks
  375. 375.
    >To remind her, that is
  376. 376.
    >With a pep in your step, you walk down the streets of Ponyville whistling a tune
  377. 377.
    >This town ain't have bad, you think
  378. 378.
     
  379. 379.
    >Be Twilight once more
  380. 380.
    >Two weeks later and you emerge from your library
  381. 381.
    >Sunlight pierces your vision as your eyes adjust to the outside world
  382. 382.
    >your coat is greasy and your mane is messy
  383. 383.
    >But you have an insane grin on your face
  384. 384.
    >You discovered the truth
  385. 385.
    >What started out as a dive into possible gnome myths, soon became a rabbit hole of archaic legends and sightings
  386. 386.
    >You'd even been exchanging untranslated texts and deciphering them yourself
  387. 387.
    >And what you discovered is nothing short of revolutionary
  388. 388.
    >The Gnome King. A very niche figure from the pre-unification era, a possible deity known by Diamond Dogs as Gravemaw
  389. 389.
    >According to ancient Diamond Dog tradition, Gnomes are diminutive earth spirits said to dwell deep beneath the soil and mountains
  390. 390.
    >Miners believed they guarded precious stones, metals, and hidden underground passages, and that disturbing their domains could bring misfortune
  391. 391.
    >Some traditions spoke of a Gnome King, an ancient ruler who commanded these spirits and demanded offerings from those who trespassed upon his territory
  392. 392.
    >Diamond Dogs traditionally left small offerings of food, coins, or valuable minerals when mining in areas believed to be inhabited by gnomes
  393. 393.
    >Failure to pay tribute was said to invite the Gnome King's retribution
  394. 394.
    >It's obvious what's going on here...
  395. 395.
    >The Gnome King wants Fluttershy
  396. 396.
    >He doesn't want bits or baked goods
  397. 397.
    >He wants Fluttershy's innocence
  398. 398.
    >SHE is the tribute
  399. 399.
    >Now, it's time to pay Fluttershy a visit...
  400. 400.
     
  401. 401.
    >Be Fluttershy
  402. 402.
    >And you're not doing so well
  403. 403.
    >These last few days, you've been jumping at your own shadow
  404. 404.
    >Everytime you're about to fall asleep, you find yourself jolting awake at the sound of every small noise
  405. 405.
    >You also keep checking your cupboards for any unwanted guests
  406. 406.
    >You have heavy circles around your eyes and a shake from being over-caffeinated
  407. 407.
    >When you hear an erratic knocking on your door, you jump up and yelp
  408. 408.
    >"Fluttershy! It's me, Twilight! Open the door! I need to talk to you"
  409. 409.
    >You open the door and see that Twilight is looking just as bad as you
  410. 410.
    >She walks past you inside, rambling quite quickly giving you little time to process
  411. 411.
    >"-Dozens of examples from countless different versions of the same story! A pure, virgin to be offered up at the alter upon the time of-"
  412. 412.
    Um, Twilight? What's going on?
  413. 413.
    >"Fluttershy!" She turns around quickly and reels on you
  414. 414.
    >"Fluttershy, I've solved it! I was wrong to dismiss everything as a prank! The more I looked into it, the more I realised the truth! It's Gravemaw! The Gnome King! He wants YOU Fluttershy! YOU are to be his tribute!"
  415. 415.
    What!? But... but I don't want to become his! I'm saving myself for Anon!
  416. 416.
    >"But Fluttershy! Think about what this might mean for Equestria! Contact with an entirely new magical race. No, not 'magical', SPIRITUAL! Don't you see? The Gnomes are Earth Spirits that defy all known Thaumatological laws! If we could establish a working relationship, we'd be able to study them and make leaps within magic studies! Fluttershy! Offer yourself up! It's the only way!"
  417. 417.
    B-But I can't! I don't want to-to become the consort of some THING!
  418. 418.
    >"I..." Twilight pauses for a moment when she sees Fluttershy tearing up
  419. 419.
    >"But Fluttershy, if you don't do this... retribution will fall upon not just you, but all of Ponyville. Your sacrifice means not just the furthering of magic, but the preservation of Ponyville. If the texts I translated are true, then..."
  420. 420.
    Then what!? What then, Twilight?
  421. 421.
    >"Then we'll ALL face retribution"
  422. 422.
    >A pause
  423. 423.
    E-Even Anon?
  424. 424.
    >"Especially him. For the Gnome King will see him as the main obstacle between him and you."
  425. 425.
    >You don't know what to say
  426. 426.
    >You choke back a sob as you feel the weight of the decision press down on your heart
  427. 427.
    >Do you give yourself up, to save Ponyville and the man you love?
  428. 428.
    >Or do you let doom come down upon those you care about?
  429. 429.
    ...
  430. 430.
    Twilight
  431. 431.
    >"Yes?"
  432. 432.
    The Gnome King... would he go away if he no longer wants me?
  433. 433.
    >"I, er, yeah? If he changes his mind, I guess? But why would he?"
  434. 434.
    If I'm no longer a pure tribute, he'd lose interest...
  435. 435.
    >"Well, yeah I-" The gears in Twilight's head turn
  436. 436.
    Twilight... if I'm no longer an untouched maiden, he'd no longer want me. There's only one person in this whole world I'm saving myself for. But he's been unwilling so far... Twilight. Help me rape Anon.
  437. 437.
    >A silence follows
  438. 438.
    >But then a look of resolve falls over Twilight
  439. 439.
    >"Yes. For you, one of my dearest friends... I'll help you. I'll keep you safe from Gravemaw and unite you and Anon. Let's go rape him. Together"
  440. 440.
    >You both smile and hug one another
  441. 441.
    >With the two of you in tow, you head out the door to Anon's house
  442. 442.
     
  443. 443.
    >Be Anon one final time
  444. 444.
    >You wake up, ready for another day of work
  445. 445.
    >Being known as the town's handyman wasn't something you expected to enjoy so much
  446. 446.
    >Lately, you've been getting a lot of work from everyone around town
  447. 447.
    >From simply labour jobs to small repairs
  448. 448.
    >And you've been learning a bunch too!
  449. 449.
    >Before, you'd have no idea how to repair a hole in a wall or fix the axle on a cart
  450. 450.
    >But now you're slowly becoming somebody reliable
  451. 451.
    >Is this... what feeling useful feels like?
  452. 452.
    >You wonder why you weren't happy before
  453. 453.
    >Just what was it that was ruining your mood and causing problems for you?
  454. 454.
    >It's like a heavy burden has been lifted from your shoulders and-
  455. 455.
    >Your front door explodes inwards with a magic blast
  456. 456.
    >Two mares with crazed looks in their eyes find you
  457. 457.
    >Twilight yells "Anon! You have to have sex with Fluttershy! Her life depends on it! Gravemaw will take her unless you do!"
  458. 458.
    I-What!? My fucking door! Get the fuck out of my-
  459. 459.
    >"I told you he wouldn't listen, Twilight!"
  460. 460.
    >"Then we'll have to do it the hard way!"
  461. 461.
    >Twilight starts levitating some rope and hurls it at you
  462. 462.
    >You dodge to the right and scramble back up to your feet
  463. 463.
    TWILIGHT! FUCKING STOP! LEAVE ME-
  464. 464.
    >Twilight continues levitating the rope
  465. 465.
    >Like a serpent, it readies itself and is aimed at you
  466. 466.
    >You run to the nearest blockage to defend against it strikes
  467. 467.
    >That, being the closet door
  468. 468.
    >You rush it and swing it open
  469. 469.
    >But before you can close it behind you, the rope wraps around your waist, knocking you over
  470. 470.
    >Twilight speaks
  471. 471.
    >"I'm sorry it has to be this way, Anon. But The Gnome King has demanded that Fluttershy pay tribute with her body. The only way to protect her is for her to lose her innocence. If she doesn't, she'll be whisked away. And if she doesn't offer herself up, it'll be (you) who pays the price. Just accept it..."
  472. 472.
    >You try to stand but the rope has bound you too tightly
  473. 473.
    >Like a caterpillar, you crawl deeper into the closet
  474. 474.
    There is no- are you fucking dense!? There is no Gnome King, Twilight! I-I...
  475. 475.
    >Fluttershy interrupts
  476. 476.
    >"It's going to be okay, Anon. Just close your eyes and..."
  477. 477.
    >But she doesn't finish that sentence
  478. 478.
    >She looks inside the closet and sees all the gnomes you have
  479. 479.
    >Both the ones you retrieved from Twilight's library and the others you hadn't yet used
  480. 480.
    >Twilight and Fluttershy stop their advance as the pieces come together
  481. 481.
    >Well, Twilight realises the proper truth while Fluttershy comes it a different conclusion
  482. 482.
    >"Oh, Anon... You're the Gnome King! Oh... oh, I see now! Gnomes, Anon! Gnomes are your fetish! You said no when I asked earlier, but you were lying! You kept leaving them at my cottage, asking for tribute. You meant me! That was your way of saying you wanted me! I... I can wear a little red hat if you'd like! Or a white beard too! I'm okay with that, I still love you! Oh, sweetie~
  483. 483.
    >Fluttershy hugs your bound body and starts planting kisses along your neck
  484. 484.
    >Twilight though, is understanding what REALLY happened here
  485. 485.
    >"You... you imbecile! You no good, uncouth, rotten, fiend! This-you-I... I don't have the right words! This was all some lousy prank! Hah! Jokes on me, I guess! Here I was, wondering how in Equestria these gnomes kept appearing without a magic signature! Moreso, how my basement door was tampered with! But it was the work of some magical REJECT who isn't important enough to appear on any scans! Anon! You broke into my home! You broke into Fluttershy's home! You left us both traumatised for weeks!
  486. 486.
    >There's a heavy pause
  487. 487.
    >Well, there's the sound of light, rapid kisses on your neck being made by Fluttershy but you're doing your best to ignore that
  488. 488.
    ...Yeah. I did.
  489. 489.
    >There's not much more you can say here
  490. 490.
    >Actually, yes there is
  491. 491.
    Okay, but you and Fluttershy TRIED TO RAPE ME. G-Get her off of meeee!
  492. 492.
    >You thrash around but fail to shake her loose
  493. 493.
    >"Oh no, Anon. You're not getting off that easy. Unless you want us going to the Guard, I think a punishment is in order."
  494. 494.
    >You gulp
  495. 495.
    W-what did you have in mind?
  496. 496.
    >Twilight, with an evil glean in her eye, tells you to follow her...
  497. 497.
     
  498. 498.
    >It's quite a nice day outside
  499. 499.
    >A clear blue sky, a gentle breeze, and just the right temperature
  500. 500.
    >Ponies must've noticed this because the park is bustling today
  501. 501.
    >Parents took their foals, lovers went on walks, and even workers took an early Lunch break just to enjoy the day
  502. 502.
    >But little did any of them know, a certain human is putting on quite the show
  503. 503.
    >By the park's center, there stands a figure dressed in what could only be described as outlandish attire
  504. 504.
    >A pointed red hat sits atop your head
  505. 505.
    >A massive fake white beard hangs from your chin
  506. 506.
    >And a long green robe, tied at the waist rests upon your torso
  507. 507.
    >Moreover, you are surrounded by a little army of gnomes
  508. 508.
    >A sign reads, "Take one, courtesy of the Gnome King"
  509. 509.
    >And last but not least, a placard hangs around your neck that reads "I am a bad gnome"
  510. 510.
    >People come and go
  511. 511.
    >Some take a gnome while others just point and laugh
  512. 512.
    >Pinkie took a picture
  513. 513.
    >Rainbow just laughed in your face for five minutes straight
  514. 514.
    >Lyra grabbed like three gnomes
  515. 515.
    >And others just shook their heads
  516. 516.
    >By sundown, you're punishment neared its end and all but one gnome was claimed
  517. 517.
    >A tiny thing, the least remarkable of the bunch
  518. 518.
    >Picking it up and taking the placard off your neck, you head home
  519. 519.
    >When you arrive, you see Twilight and Fluttershy
  520. 520.
    >Twilight wears the expression of someone satisfied to see you learn your lesson
  521. 521.
    >Fluttershy droops her head a bit low, feeling a bit sad for you
  522. 522.
    >"Well, Anon. I hope you learned your lesson. It's not nice to leave things inside peoples homes or impersonate ancient deities."
  523. 523.
    >You wanted to say you had no idea a 'Gnome King' was even a thing, but you kept quiet about that
  524. 524.
    >Twilight let's out a satisfied 'Hmf', before leaving with her head held up high
  525. 525.
    >You look over to Fluttershy who still remains
  526. 526.
    >"I, uh, ...don't really get what the whole point of all this was. If... if you were wanting me to offer myself as tribute up or... call you a bad gnome or something, all you had to do was ask..."
  527. 527.
    >You let out a heavy sigh
  528. 528.
    No, Fluttershy... gnomes are not my fetish
  529. 529.
    >"Oh. Okay. ...Kinda weird that you put so much work into something that wasn't your fetish, but okay. See you tomorrow, Anon. Goodnight~."
  530. 530.
    >With that, she leaves
  531. 531.
    >You watch her go and stare down at the little gnome in your hand
  532. 532.
    >Did you screw up because you underestimated Twilight's autism or because you were careless?
  533. 533.
    >Either way, you know for certain that this was somehow all Fluttershy's fault
  534. 534.
    >Fucking Fluttershy
