The Gang of Five
Howdy, everyone!

As you know, the forum has been fighting spammers and bots for years. We have seen our fair share of "Custom Kitchens UK", scammy Internet hosting companies, and bots trying to send us to a business's homepage. But after fighting the tidal wave of spam for so many years, the admins had a persistent thought: what if the spammers are right? Not in terms of posting nonsense links and trying to scam our users, but in trying to make money through our unique platform?

Well, thanks to the helpful counsel of Taunt, we have finally decided to move the forum in a new direction. Please see his important post on the matter in this topic

"Don't worry, I wasn't intending to." I said. I pulled the overcoat tight around me. "Don't tell me there's a breeze down here." I said, pulling the overcoat even tighter. Jerek said "Don't worry, sis. Everyone saw everything when you were stuck in the swiss cheese dress, so it doesn't matter." I shot a glare at him, but said nothing.

Hunter sighed explosivly and slowed her walk till she was walking next to Jaina and took her black belt off of her Gi and tied it around Jaina's  waist like a belt, and then said at a whisper "You two are brother and sister...are you sure about that...and don't worry most of us were too busy fighting to see anything too revealing." then a breeze did just happen to blow through the sewers, and blew off the top of her Gi, and it fell into the water.

Although now topless, with her arms crossed her chest and a small blush creeping up on her face she said to Jerek "Make one joke and you will be in that water. Do we understand each other...." Then she remembered Sieg and Dante...and she blushed harder as she turned to them and said "I'm staying up at the head of the line if you need me for anything...well just don't need me." and with that she picked up the pace and was again in front of the pack.

Jerek simply grinned widly, and supressed laughter. In a partialy cracked voice, he said "No worries, I won't crack a... jrack a coke." He messed up his speech stifling the laughter. I rolled my eyes. "Oh please." I said, turning away from my brother. I whispered to Hunter "Yes we are, unfortunatly." Jerek was still stifling laughter.

OOC: This is getting weird...

Sieg limped up to Hunter, walking beside her as he tossed her his long coat, which mercifully had buttons up the front.
"Here.  Put this on... or... you'll catch something... right?"  He said, an intense blush covering his face as he said this.
A few seconds passed before he said quietly...
"Hey Miss Hunter?  H- Have you ever been in love before?"

Hunter took the long coat and nodded her thanks for it and then listened to what Sieg said and replied "Well catching a cold or illness down here is kinda hard, but thank you...and no....I've never been in love before...." what she said next was almost at a whisper and mostly to herself as she said "Until I met you that is." but she was sure with the lack of sound in the sewers he had heard her.

I looked up. "Hey, lovebirds, this our stop?" I said, pointing up to the cieling. There was a ladder leading up to a manhole cover. There was the breeze again, which nearly caused the top of the overcoat to fall off. But I pulled it tighter. "Because I'd like to get outta here."

OOC: She didn't hear what they said, she's just remarking on what she's pretty sure is happening.

Hunter once more pulled out of her selfinduced day dream snapped her head up at the manhole cover smiled and said "Yep we have arrived! I'll head up first so in case any trouble crops up I can be the welcome wagon, but we should still be pretty safe this is my home after all."

Sieg smiled faintly as he heard Hunter's words and he said back...
"That makes two of us then..."
He looked up at the exit and said...
"I'm with you, Miss Hunter.  I'll go second."

As Hunter went up and opened the manhole cover, I noticed a distinct whistling. "Oh, crap, I recongnize that whistle!" I exclaimed. "No way I'm letting Dan see me wearing just an overcoat!" I shrunk back. Jerek started laughing. I turned bright red through my normaly brown scales, and said "You shut up, Jerek!"

Hunter was already halfway up the ladder when she called back down "Anyone else coming, I have hot food and cold drinks...I could use a beer about now." Hunter then saw Jaina retreating, and asked "Are you okay?"

"I'm staying down here until Dan passes!" I said. "I am sooooo not letting him see me like this!" Jerek was still laughing. "I said shut up, Jer!" I shouted to him.

Hunter happened at that moment to poke her head back through the hole and said "You mean this guy?" and her head was replaced by Dan's who happened to have a blindfold on his face covering his eyes. "Don't worry I won't see a thing!" said Hunter as she smiled.

Sieg grinned, and he replied...
"Sounds good, but... I think I'll pass on the Beer."
Dante smirked, and he said...
"Sweet!  Been a while since I had a cold one! Count me in!"
As the pair of them joined her on the ladder.

By the time Jaina, Jerek and Dante were up and out of the manhole Hunter had her front door wide open and the smell of hot food was riding on the wind as Hunter held the door and said "Welcome, and please enjoy!" As she pushed Dan inside first.

Dante was smirking slightly after what he had just gotten to see and was about to say soemthing when a look from Sieg shut him up.  
"R-right.  Let's get moving."

I walked in second, an Jerek in third. "Hunter, I really need to take a shower, or at least change into something else." I said. "I really don't want to be stuck in this overcoat for much longer."

Hunter laughed as she lead Jaina into her room and locked the door. She then said "The shower is though that door to your left, and you can choose any outfit you like, but bear in mind I am a school teacher, so you may have a very small selection. " Then a thought crossed her mind as she then added "If you find any weapons with a special mark on them...just leave them be....it would be best if those wern't fired indoors." She then stepped out of her room and left Jaina in peace, and grabbed a beer from her refridgrator and sat down on stool in the kicthen.

Sieg hung back, unsure if he belonged with these people.  He had been a cultist, one of their sworn enemies, in the past.  As he doubted hismelf, he saw that Hunter was looking at him, and he decided to come inside.  He seated himself next to her, and Dante asked the group
"Anyone up for telling us where you came from? Or about your pasts?"
