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

Mim nodded, "I"ll go and look for some sticks also." Mim said.   "Once there Longtail and others can then soak in the warm water." Mim said.  She then went off to look for sticks.  

Littlefoot nodded and smilled, "Sure, ok." He said and headed off in the direction that Ecco went off in.

Ecco saw Littlefoot coming. Hey, nice to have someone on my side who is searching with me he said and smiled. And anyway, I don¥t like silence. I am quiet talkactiv, Ecco said and began to giggle.

Cayso saw the others leaving so they could make the traveling nest, and since he was left alone with Longtail, he began thinking - "A Half Flyer, half... I don't know what, in training to kill dinosaurs like me, he was almost successful... still, the others were so serene, did they know all of this may happen?...." - Cayso frowned. - "... he is too dangerous to let him live, if he didn't hesitate to try to kill me once he lost control, then nothing can stop him to attack my brother or my Herd." - Cayso really thought for a moment to attack Longtail again, but then, something changed, he saw him and as his scent changed to a scent of a normal Flyer again, the kid Fast-bitter calmed down himself, he even smiled as he thought - "I'm just been paranoid." - After that, Cayso closed his eyes and tried to sleep for a bit, until the others' return with the material to make the nest.

Littlefoot smiled as he looked around for some good sticks, "Feel free to talk all that you want. " He said looking over at Ecoo.  


Mim continued gathering what looked like good sticks.  She didn't think she'd need to find a lot since more then 1 were looking and they could use the best sticks of all the ones everyone found, she thought to herself.

After a few moments Cyrix and Longtail had both fallen asleep. The latter simply because he couldn't feel his body and that was more than enough reason to try and sleep.

Cyrix however had fallen asleep because he felt that he'd need his strength as well for when the time came to move Longtail to the hot springs.

Hmm, if I am thinking about it. There was always a question I wanted to ask you. You are doing always the right decisions if you and your little group have to save the GV. How comes? What, what makes you so, how should I say,... intelligent? Ecco asked.

Littlefoot thought for a moment before responding.  "I follow what is in my heart, as my grandpa said, and also as my mother said once long ago, some things you see with your heart." Littlefoot said a bit sad talking about his mother but it was as Rooter said, it was easier to live with now that time had passed.  "I use that to try to know what seems to be the right thing to do.  Not sure if that answers your question or what you mean." Littlefoot said.

It does, yes Ecco answered and patted Littlefoot gently on the shoulder. It¥s good that you remember those words of your mother that good. I wish I could know what my mother said, before she died, Ecco said and shed a tear.

Cyrix blinked his eyes open and asked Cayso "Do you need any more food or water while the others are out looking for our items to carry Longtail...I'd be more than happy to get you something."

After hearing what Cyrix said, Cayso opened his eyes and blinked twice before replying. - "That's very nice from you Cyrix, but I don't think you can bring me a threehorn or a redhorn leg...." - Cayso giggled a bit of painfully - "... water would be nice."

"It's ok.  She's still with you, even if you can't see her.  That is another thing my mother said.  One of the last things." He said.  It was actually the last thing she said while alive, but she had contacted him afterward so it didn't end up being the last thing she said.  

He looked up at the sky.  He had last seen her as a cloud with other clouds that had lead him to the Great Valley, then perhaps as a night light, brighter then others that he had seen on the island where they had encountered Chomper later.  

He could remember part of the song that he had sung then on the island with his friends.  

"I remember now
Like it was yesterday
She would hold me close
And then I'd hear her say
"You know I'll never leave you...
You can find me everywhere
In the morning light, the night light
I'm always there""

(ooc: Changed since I don't think the dinos use the term star except in songs)

Cyrix laughed at Cayso's comment and stood as he stretched his limbs and said "Certainly I'll be back in a moment with your water." the rainbow face then picked up the stone that held Caysos' water and walked over to the stream.

Ecco smiled a bit at Littlefoot¥s comment. Yes, she is still with me. Well, anyway, let¥s end up this topic. It brings sad mood. Ecco walked over to a tree and grapped some sticks from the ground.

Littlefoot nods and started looking for some sticks.  "I'm sure we'll find some great sticks." He said.  He looked around near a tree and found a few.  These he picked up with his mouth, being careful to pick them up with just the side of his mouth so he could talk with the other side of his mouth.

Mim walked about, picking up the best looking sticks, sometimes removing one when she found one that looked like it would be better then one of the ones she had.  She continued working and being sure to watch how many she was holding so they did not get to heavy and being sure she stayed near the area where Longtail was.

Cayso saw the Rainbow face leaving the place, and the kid closed his eyes again, he was still sitting close to Longtail. - "I wonder what would my brother be doing right now?" - Cayso thought, as he began whispering a song he has been listening since he was a hatchling. Maybe just a combination of sounds for most Leaf-eaters, but a song of past tragedies and re-encounters for those who can speak the sharptooth language.

Longtail opened his left eye for a moment, and said in a low tone of voice "I-I...I think...I know that song....somewhere...can't remember...but it...was fun to sing." He then closed his left eye again and fell back to sleep.

Cayso replied as he heard Longtail's comment about the song. - "Songs like this one is one of the only things all Sharpteeth share. I would not be surprised that other kinds of dinosaurs may know about it... but it makes me feel good." - Cayso then saw Longtail falling asleep again, not knowing if he heard him at all, so he just smiled and kept on singing.

Cyrix finally returned with the stone bowl full of water and sat it down in front of Cayso and smiled as he said "Well here you go. I do hope the others return soon; has Longtail said anything or waken up yet?"

Ruby was searching for some good sticks as well. As she turned around she heard a loud *knack*. She jumped backwards and looked around. Then she saw Mim. "Oh, hehe. Mim, it¥s just you... I thought someone would.. hehe. Well..", Mim didn¥t know what to say so she just smiled and continued searching for some sticks.

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

I think we¥ll. Yes, we¥ll find good travelling nest sticks. Ecco said. I never built something like that before. Is it hard, he asked Littlefoot.

Littlefoot nodded, "Sure we will, and they can be pretty hard to make.  We'll have to try to be sure to get the best sticks and then watch how those who know how make them and maybe we can learn as they make a travel nest.  You never know when it may be handy to know how." Littlefoot said out of the side of one mouth as he continued to hold the few sticks in the other.  

Mim smiled, "Sorry, I didn't notice the stick there.  Maybe we can look together if you'd like." Mim said.
