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

Ruby, who stood next to Cayso, saw that he tried to stand up. She laid one hand on his back to help him, if its needed. Just dont overdo yourself, she said.

Cyrix smiled as he and Mim worked together to help move Longtail onto the traveling nest. As the duo reached it Cyrix slowly and carefully set Longtail down into the travel nest, then sighed as eh said, "Well...now should we carry it together Mim or would you like one of us to help the other balance the nest on our backs?"

Mim worked to keep the part of Longtail's body she was holding level with the others who were carrying  him also.  Once he was in the nest and she thought about it for a moment while looking at the nest and Longtail in it.  

"Maybe we can have a 4 footer rest the nest on their back while each of us are on a side of it, using a hand to keep it balanced.  We can carry it if the 4 footer starts to get tired." Mim said as she thought over her idea.  She then turned to Cayso.

"Are you sure you are ok.  I think maybe Ruby should help you for a while, if the 2 of you don't mind.." She said.

I wouldn¥t, Ruby said. It¥s all up to him.

Ecco carefully laid Longtails head in the nest. After he thought what the others said a commented: Well, a fourfooter may be a good idea, but who of us here is a fourfooter? Just Littlefoot, and in my opinion, he is to little to carry him. I think it would be best if two of us carry the front and the back of the nest and two others walking at the left and right side to take care that it doesn¥t fall down.

Cayso tried to stand up but it was difficult and he almost fell. - "Well... I may need that helping hand, at least... for a while." - Cayso looked at Ruby - "only if that is no problem for you."

It isn¥t, don¥t worry. Ruby said and smiled. It isn¥t a shame to get helped. She put her left arm around Caysos waist and laid Caysos right arm around her own neck.
So, now that will work for a while, she said. Just walk your speed, I¥ll walk yours.

"Thanks, that's very kind... you may bet this is something we don't see everyday" - Cayso said making a smile - "Just tell me where the hot springs are so we can start walking to get there, I don't think Ecco and the others will have any prolbmes carrying Longtail."

Cyrix smiled at the idea. "That's a good idea, but I'm sure Littlefoot can handle carrying the nest on his back, he is a longneck after all and they are very well known for carrying things." commented Cyrix with a nod

That¥s right, indeed. Well, at least we can give it a try, Ecco said and smiled at Littlefoot.

Okay, Ruby said. This direction. And both began to walk.

Littlefoot nods, "It can't hurt for me to try." He said smiling to Ecco,  He walked over to where the travel nest and Longtail were.  

Mim nods, "If it is to heavy those who are holding the sides may need to hold some of the weight. Plus the others willing to help should be nearby incase one of those holding the nest get tired and needs someone to take over.  And to help keep the nest stable." Mim said.

"If they need an extra hand you can go help them, I have no problems." - Cayso said to Ruby while smiling.

Nope, you need a helping hand right now and that will be me, Ruby, said and smiled. The others are four, they can handle this good without me

Ecco walked over to the left side of the travellingnest and waited for the others to get ready for lifting up the travellingnest.

Cyrix stood across from Mim and put his hands on the traveling nest as well...just in case. he then asked Littlefoot, "Are you ready? On the count of three...one...two...three!" He then began to lift his part of the nest.

Littlefoot nodded.  "I'm ready." He said as he stood steady and not moving.  

Mim started to help lift the nest from where she was when she heard Cyrix count down and start to lift his side.  She tried to keep things smooth for Longtail by lifting at about the same speed as Cyrix was.  "Just a short distance then we can be off." She said to the others helping with Longtail.

Ecco as well lifted his part of the nest with the speed of the others. Okay, that should work, he said.

"Well, they are on the move now, that's good. We should keep walking too." - Cayso said, trying to walk a little faster now but still trying to do it carefully, he then asked Ruby. - "How far are the hot springs from here?".

Not that far, but I can carry you if you want to be there faster.

Littlefoot looked behind him to see if the folks lifting the nest needed any help or if he needed to move to make it easier on them.


(OOC: Sounds like a neat picture idea, Ruby carrying Cayso."

OCC: Indeed. I am just not sure if that would be possible :p

OOC: Well, Cayso is as tall as Littlefoot, that is still a bit smaller than Ruby. But Ruby carrying him, it would be easier for her to carry Racnar, who is smaller. But I agree the idea sounded neat :DD . But if there are enough votes, I can change this post :smile .

IC: Cayso contemplated Ruby after listening her idea: - "I... I'll be fine walking, tha... thank you." - There was a bit of edginess in Cayso's voice and, for a moment, Ruby reminded him of someone else, a friend he hasn't seen in a long time.
