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 nods, "I'm glad to help.  There is quite a selection of food here you may like, crawlers, fish, snapping shells, and other things like that."  Mim said to the 2 sharp teeth.  

Littlefoot looked at Longtail, "You hungry?" He asked Longtail.

Racnar came out of the water and shook off a bit of the water. - "Fish sound very good right now." - He happily looked at the Rainbowfaces.

Cayso went to the shore and asked the ones who are still in the water. - "Are you coming to eat something?". He was waiting for Ecco to arrive, and maybe to ask him if he noticed anything strange with Racnar while he was in the water.

Longtail smiled as he climbed slowly out of the hot spring and shook the water off of his body. "Yeah, I am." answered Longtail as he faced Littlefoot, he then walked over to the pile of leaves his uncle had left and took only a few treestars and ate them one at a time...trying to see if he could swallow any real food.

Cyrix smiled as well and replied: "If you have trouble Longtail, don't be afraid to ask your friends or I for help."

Littlefoot nods, "We'd be glad to help." He said.  He was a bit hungry but would rather wait till Longtail had finished.  

Mim turned to look at Longtail, "Maybe they'd easier to swallow if they were soaked in water or if you drank some water before you tried to swallow them." Mim said.    She then looked at Cayso and Racnar, "I can show you where some fish can be found if you wish.  Have either of you caught fish before?" She asked both of them.

Cayso and Racnar looked at each other, then they both faced Mim - "Yeah, that would be nice indeed, please show us where we can eat some fishes..." - Cayso replied - "... but we have... ehh... limited experience fishing, since there aren't too many rivers or lakes out there."
Racnar smiled - "I am sure we'll get enough fishes..." - Racnar stopped for a bit as his chest began hurting him again, and he grabbed it with his right hand but he stopped his brother before he could even talk. - "I... I am fine, it's nothing. It may have been... because of the distance I... ran to get here." - Cayso made his brother to sit for a bit, so he could try to catch his breathe, and then, the bigger brother saw Mim, so she could now see what is happening to Racnar.

Mim looked at Racnar as he had his attack or whatever it was.  She came over closer and patted Racnar.  "Just rest for a bit." She said with a caring tone to her voice.  She tried to put her hear to Racnar's chest or his upper back to see fi she could hear anything and get more information what is happening to him.

Longtail smiled at Mims idea and took his leaves over to the water and sipped them in for a few moments and then took another bite, and indeed found that they were easier to swallow. He then proceeded to eat the other two treestars he held and sighed as it felt good to get some food.

Cyrix seeing his nephew eating well looked over to Racnar and concern crossed his face as he stepped over and asked, "Is he okay?"

Would interest me as well, Ecco said while he was going out of the water. I am fine with no food so far, he said. I had enough this morning, so I am not very much hungry. But if you want to go and get some, I¥ll go with you. I wouldn¥t know what to do anyway. He then noticed Racnar again, having his pain. He came a bit closer and knelt down in front of him. Listen Racnar, Ecco said with a calm voice. If you need anything, or if you have pain anywhere, don¥t hesitate to tell us. We just want your best.

Racnar heard what Ecco said, between interrupted fast breathes, he replied - "That sounds very good, so different from what I expected: that you'll all be better with one less sharptooth around." - By then Cayso also knelt besides his brother and patted him as he replied to Ecco. - "To come here was better than I hoped it would ever be, I am already grateful for all what you are doing... even for sharpteeth like us."
Racnar's breathing became slower now, as his pain gets away.

"It's better to take folks on an individual basis." Mim said smiling to Racnar.  

Littlefoot walked over to where the rest of the leaves were.  "Don't you want to eat more Longtail?" LIttlefoot asked him.

Racnar gave a smile back to Mim, not a big one due to his chest still hurting him.
Cayso saw with attention now what Mim is doing by listening to his brother's chest - "Any luck trying to know what is happening to Racnar?".

Mim listens to Racnar for a few more seconds before she pulls her head away from Racnar.  She smiled as she looked at Cayso and nodded, "Yes, I could hear what the problem is and know of some plants that grow here that should prove helpful."  She things for a bit, "1 I may need to go elsewhere, but most of them can be found here."

"That's awesome!... I just hope we'll not need that last plant you mention." - Cayso said standing up. - "we should go seek those plants you say can be found here".
Racnar took a look at his brother, as he slowly stood up he said with a serious face - "But I am still hungry, I'd like to eat some fish first."

"I'm still hungry too. I'll stay with Racnar and my uncle to keep them company." said Longtail as he stepped back over to the leaf pile and picked up a few more leaves to eat.

Cyrix nodded and replied, "That sounds like a good idea. Mim and Cayso will you two be okay walking the valley?"

"I"ll be, how about you Cayso?" Mim asked looking at him.  

Littlefoot went over to the nearest bush, however far that is, and started to eat off of that.

Cayso took a look at the group and the place, he smiled as he thought Racnar should be safe with them and said - "I'll be fine too, we can go now Mim, the sooner the better I think." - Cayso went to his brother - "Try to relax so you'll have no problems fishing, I'll be back as soon as I can, ok?"

"ok, just try to not get spotted" - Racnar just smiled as he sat again near Longtail and Cyrix.

I¥ll stay with him and keep him some company as well, Ecco said to Cayso. And, about that you mentioned before. I don¥t make any difference between leaf-eaters or sharpteeth. If they are friendly I can handle with most of them, he said and blushed a bit about the comment from Cayso. Should I come with you two, Ruby adressed to Mim? I don¥t want to slow you down, so it¥s your decision. I can also stay here and relax some more time in the water.

"Well, for me it's fine Ruby, you can come with us if you want, let's see what Mim has to say." - Cayso replied. - "And you are right Ecco, not everybody is as open minded though. It is nice that you'll remain here, it makes me feel good that you will take a look on Racnar too."

"Well, a lot of people will remain here, but if Cayso trust you all, then I will trust you all too." - Racnar said, trying to make a smile due to the still present pain, but it is getting weaker, for the kid's relief.

Longtail smiled at Racnar's last comment to Cayso.
"Don't worry Racnar, there are a lot of trees and shadows to hide in this valley. I'm sure Cayso will be fine." He then rolled backwards into the hot spring and relaxed as he felt the warm water cover his body.

Cyrix smiled and continued to sit next to Racnar even as Longtail began to soak in the hot spring. "So, Racnar...You want to get stronger right?" he asked with a geniune smile.

Racnar saw Cyrix with curiosity, his right hand still on his chest, and replied - "Yes, I'd really like to be strong, as strong as my father so Cayso will not have to worry about me anymore." - After that, Racnar took a quick glance at his chest as the pain began stopping at last, smiling before returning his sight to the Rainbowface.
