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

Longtail's eyes snapped open and he began to sniff the air around him...which in turn lead him in circles over and over again. He couldn't figure out what he was smelling, but it definitely caught his attention! He stopped for a moment and said "Does anyone else smell that?!"

___________________

Cyrix blushed as he felt Mim's tail brush against his belly and said "So there you are! I was hoping I'd have to save you..." He blushed again as he stepped closer and said "Well, I'm done swimming for the day...what next?"

Ducky, Littlefoot and Petrie start sniffing the air.  

"I smell something, but I am not sure what it is, no I am not." She said shaking her head.

"It is pretty hard to smell." Littlefoot said before he sniffed a few more times before looking at Longtail, "But your sniffer may be like Chompers and better then ours, what do you smell?" He asked.

"Me not sure if me smell it or not." Petrie said shaking his head.

Mim exhaled all the breath in her lungs and inhaled once she got to the surface.  Breathing a bit hard for a few seconds before she could continue.  She nodded, "We can always rest on the grass near the water if you wish, it looks nice and warm there." She said looking at Cyrix then at the comfortable looking grass in the area she was talking about.

Bryce and Ellie looked up from the water curious of the going ons

"What's going on?" asked Ellie "What do ya'll smell?"

------------------

Denton looked at Zaine closely, studying his likes, then he shook his head

"No... I'm afraid not." he tilted his head with a slight frown on his face "Are you... lost?"

------------------

The red glow of the dead sharptooth's eyes slightly dimmed as Blackclaw and Torgo stood as still as rocks themselves staring frightfully at the giant skull

"Yes, Blackclaw," came the booming voice again  "Tt tis I, Kragoth, your father, communicating to you from the second beyond."

"But.. but how?!?" stammered Blackclaw after finally finding the courage to speak "Your dead! And what are you doing in that horrendous skull?!?"

"Do you even know who these remains belong to, son?"

Blackclaw shook his head, no

"A long time ago," continued Kragoth's disembodied voice "there was a mighty sharptooth... all who saw him feared him... even his own kind, as he was but a mighty tyrant of the ages. Our kind called him Maganog."

"Maganog?!?" gulped Blackclaw "You told me this story once already, and your telling me this is our so called mythical hero of time's past?"

"Yes" replied Kragoth "Once though he stormed that very same valley so long ago, none could take him on it seemed, and he prayed upon the leaf nibblers there for some time until one day, one did come. This particular leaf nibbler was called many names from his kind, The Great One, the Lone Dinosaur, Tail Slinger, and so on. He and Maganog fought the great fight that has been passed in many versions of storytelling from one generation to the next."

"And he was defeated and sent fleeing from the valley and yadda yadda and so on" said Blackclaw rushing the story along in his own words "You still didn't explain why you chose this place of all places to communicate to me."

"What were you expecting? Cloud formations? Voices in the wind? Echoing water?"

"Well... uh... yes, I think" said Blackclaw blinking dumbly

Longtail stopped for a moment and said "Wait I recongnize one of the two diffrent scents...I smell Denton, and someone else....someone I don't know, lets go find out!" he said with an enthusiastic smile.

__________

Cyrix nodded at Mim's suggestion and said "Yes resting in the warm grass would be nice right now." With a smile he then added "Let's find a bright circle spot to lay in together."

Littlefoot got a smile on his face, "Maybe he's met a new friend, someone who's just arrived in the valley.  I wonder if their alone or one of the far walker herds has arrived." Littlefoot said, happy at the prospect of maybe meeting another new friend.  "Lets go and meet them." Littlefoot said.

"Someone new, I hope they are friendly, yes I do." Ducky said getting out of the water and onto Littlefoot's back.

"Me hope they no scary." Petrie said, flying over to Littlefoot's back and looking around quickly a time or two to be sure no one scary was around.

_______

Mim nodded, "Good idea, we can relax, dry off and think of what next fun thing we wish to do." she said while swimming beside Cyrix.

Longtail took several more sniffs and said to the others "This way I'm sure of it!" As he continued to lead them on...

Cyrix walked over to the perfect spot on the warm grass and waited for Mim to lye down first, after all it was ladies first!

Zaine's scent of hope suddenly faided, and he sighed. "I'm not lost, but I'm alone here. My herd and I were seperated by the big earthshake, and I haven't seen them since. I fear that..."

A tear drop slowly fell from his eye.

Littlefoot looks at Longtail, "Lead the way." Then he looks at everyone else, "I hope no one else gets lost or left behind." He said.  

"I wonder if the new person he sells is a Spike tail, a three horn, or a long neck." Ducky said.

"Or a sharp tooth." Petirie said, still thinking of their encounter earlier when someone wondered off and they went to look for them.  He crunched down on Littlefoot to try to look smaller.

"If it is then you can fly away and tell the grown ups like last time." Ducky said, looking a little stirnly at Petrie, though it quickly passed.  "Do not be scared, maybe it is another flyer like you are." She said to try to cheer him up.

Mim nodded, going to the sunny patch. She lay down then patted a spot next to her, "Going to join me or just look?" She said, smiling a bit mischievously.

Zaine then caught a scent he hadn't recognized before. Someone was approaching them. "Uhh, Denton, are there any sharpteeth here or other evil things I should know about?"

OOC: I do apologize for not posting. I didn't really have any ideas. I do hope this post is all right.

BIC:

Ateo had departed from the group to return to his home. He didn't live inside the valley; he took shelter in a large cave that was just outside the valley, along the mountainous wall. It was where Ozzy and Strut used to reside, of course he was unaware of that. He had moved in there long after the egg-stealers had left.

Ateo just exitted out of the forested region and now his feet clamored onto solid rock. He turned to face the Great Valley once more, his mind pondering, thinking back to the children he just saw recently.

Some of the children seemed so familiar to him, especially that young longneck. Ateo smiled and closed his eyes. He would find out sooner or later. He then started the climb up the Great Valley's wall.

Longtail led the way...and after a few minutes of walking he could hear voices coming from behind a bush...one he knew immediately as Denton, but the other was a total mystery to him..so he did what any child would do...he poked his head through and said "Hi Denton..." Longtail then looked over at the green longneck and said "Hi...uhhh.....are you new here?"

Cyrix blushed at Mim's comment and he stared at her for a moment longer and then finally settled into the grass next to her and said "I think I'll just look at you until the bright circle leaves the sky." with a blush overcoming his face as he said this.

Littlefoot looked at Longtail with interest. "Can you see the other person Denton is with?" He asked with interest.

"It not sharptooth?" Petrie asked in his scared voice crunching up in fear.

"I think he would have said if it were, yes I think he would have." Ducky said.

__________________________

Mim smiles, "and I may look at you till the same happens." Mim said smiling and looking at Cyrix, her tail laying to one side almost touching Cyrix's, seemingly by chance.

Longtail looked over to Denton and said "Could you excuse me for a moment?" He then pulled his head back into the bush and turned to Littlefoot and replied "Denton is with another longneck...but he's green...do you guys know any green longnecks?"

____________________

Cyrix replied to Mim by saying "Yes...yes you may." Cyrix then moved his tail to once side as well causing their tails to touch...and noting this Cyrix blushed, and just continued to stare into Mim's eyes.

Littlefoot nods, "Shorty  is green.  Why do you ask?" Littlefoot asks, curious.  Finding it strange someone would ask about that.

Ducky nods, "We met him when we went to the place the longnecks met, we met Pat along the way also, yes we did."

"Me remember." Petrie said nodding and remembering that trip.  He was glad that scary trip was over and they were back in the valley.  

(ooc: at least to me Shorty has parts of him that look green. I may be wrong)

Mim blushed a bit when Cyrix's tail touched hers, she didn't know what else to say so just smiled a bit, embarrassed a bit as well.

Zaine looked up at the mentioning of Shorty. "Who's this Shorty you're talking about? Heck, who are you?"

Zaine wasn't sure if these other dinosaurs were friendly, of course they didn't look like they would be friends with sharpteeth.

(ooc: yes, shorty is green, but really dark)

(ooc: Wait till he sees them being friends with Chomper, he'll think very bad stuff about them. )

"I'm Littlefoot and this is Ducky a swimmer and Petrie a flyer.  Shorty is my brother, adopted brother.  He's with my father's herd right now." He said.  

"Yes, Ducky is me, yep, yep, yep." She said waving and nodding a bit.  

"Yes, me flier." Petrie said waving also.  Both were still on Littlefoot's back.

Longtail stepped next to Littlefoot and said "My name is Longtail. I'm a flyer too. It's nice to meet you...if you don't mind my asking what's your name?" he asked looking at Zaine.

_______________

Cyrix was still looking at Mim when a thought crossed his mind...and he said aloud "I wonder what our hatchlings will look like?" He then began to blush harder knowing Mim had herad the question as well.

Zaine looked at them with a surprised expression. "Uhh, my name is Zaine."

He hesitated again before speaking. "How are you guys friends with each other? I thought longnecks only conversed with other longnecks."

He never learned the lessons Littlefoot and his friends had, so Zaine was really shocked to see a longneck friends with a swimmer and flier.

Longtail took a step back, spread his wings and bowed to Zaine as he said "Well then Zaine...prepare to learn a few lessons...the fun way!" As a smile came across his face as he said this.

Zaine took a step back, surprised by this energetic reaction. "Uhh, what are you doing?"


(ooc: i smell a song comming up. is it "it takes all sorts", because that would fit very well here?)
