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

Littlefoot looked up at Cayso, "I can go with you, if Ecco's ankle hurts to much.  I've ... gotten use to the stuff Chomper eats." Littlefoot said.  "Have you tried stinging buzzers? I've heard Chomper say they are spicy." Littlefoot said attempting to offer some ideas, not sure if Cayso had tried some different things like that.

"Spicy, that doesn't sound bad... but I have never eat Stinging Buzzers before." - Cayso looked at Littlefoot with some curiosity - "Do you think I may get to know that Chomper you always mention?."

Littlefoot nodded, "Sure, he's very nice.  I'm sure the 2 of you would get along.  He'd like having another nice sharptooth to talk and as a friend I'm sure." Littlefoot said smiling a bit.

As Cyrix watched Littlefoot lead Cayso over to Crawler cave, he noticed Mim returning with Longtail still asleep in her arms, and he smiled as he looked at both of them, and said "Always a heavy sleeper my nephew. He is looking better though. Perhaps when he's ready...he can have a small sparring match against Cayso."

He looked to Mim and asked "Well what do you think?"

Mim nods, still gently rubbing Longtail as he slept in her arms.  "If he feels better and you think he is up to it why not.  They both may learn some things." Mim said looking at Cyrix.

Cayso was thinking while walking toward the cave Littlefoot mentioned - "He is leading me to a place far from his friends, how can he be this trusty?, I am a Fast-bitter. Even though I made a vow, I still consider this quite curious." - Cayso looked at the Longneck. "How far are we from that cave?"

OOC: Sorry I got a bit confused, is Ecco with Cayso and Littlefoot?

OOC: and is he walking with a bad limp, or letting Cayso carry him?

OOC: Cayso offered to carry Ecco, so that should be. Nimrod hasn't posted in here though.

OCC: Well, two options: the one is that you are going without me, because I said that my ancle still hurts very much, the other is we could start again where you asked me. Both ways are okey for me. ;)

OOC: Well, since Ecco knows where the cave is and Cayso offered to carry you I thought you were coming too, Littlefoot is also with us. Either way I was the last IC post so I'll wait for another player to post :p .

OOC: Lets wait for Nimrod to post before we do anything, I'll just post some ic stuff that doesn't count towards that.



Mim nods still gently rubbing Longtail as he slept in her arms.  "Yes, he does appear to be a rather sound sleeper indeed." She said.


Littlefoot began to sing a song about new friends in old places,
appearing unexpectedly.
Without expecting it a new friend or two
can appear when and where you least expect.
Even in old places where you had though
you knew everyone.
Some of them may be friends of your friends
that you had not known of before  (and ect as the song continues.)

Mrs Flyer and Swimmer worked on moving more rocks, and making sure they rolled off away from where the others were as well.  

"How are things looking where you are?" Mrs Swimmer asked the others.

Cyrix smiled as he watched Mim keep his nephew sleeping soundly and said "Well...now Longtail slept all night, but I do suppose his being sick is the only reason he-" Cyrix however didn't finish his sentence, as he noticed Longtail beginning to sniff the air. Cyrix smiled and said to Mim "Do you want to see something amazing? Drop longtail...don't put him down...Drop him from where you are holding him."

Grandpa longneck sighed as he pushed another rock out of the way...as he said "I honestly didn't think this would take so long...perhaps we should take a small break, the bright circle is getting high in the sky...the young ones may be wondering where we are."

Mim was unsure, but knew Cyrix would not let Longtail be hurt, so she reluctantly did as Cyrix suggested, ready go grab Longtail again if he fell before he hit the ground.

____

"Good idea, " Mrs Swimmer said, "and some of us may be thirsty, tired, or hungry." she said.

"Or a combination."Mrs Flyer said.

Watching this was like the first time Longtail got this right all over again it was in slow motion. Longtail was falling, and as he neared the ground his legs now acting on instinct immediately braced himself against the ground, stopping his fall and keeping him safe. After a few moments Longtails eyes began to open...and he asked sleeply "W-what happend...did I fall asleep in a tree again Uncle?" Longtail then again on instinct immedately dropped to the floor and fell back to sleep.

Cyrix looked at Mim with a wide grin on his face as he said "I never get tired of seeing him do that. I am so glad I taught that to him...it really comes in handy."

Mim watched amazed at what happened, though ready to catch Longtail before he hit the ground she saw his legs come down and knew he'd be able to catch himself some how.  
She looked at Longtail a moment then over at Cyrix smiling a bit and nodding, "Handy indeed, and better then his falling on his head.  Did it take you long to teach it to him?"

OCC: All right, thx. I think Ecco will walk the way with Cayso and Littlefoot

IC: Song finished.

It is right behind the trees, Ecco said. Than you will get many little crawlers to eat.

Cyrix nodded and said "Well no not very long at all. But we did ask for someone to test this against, and you will never guess who said they would help." He smiled knowing the answer would shock her.

Littlefoot nods, "If there are a lot in there that should satisfy your needs without having to look on leaves and under leaves on the ground.   I've seen Chomper eat snapping shells, have you tried those?  There should be many things you can eat without having to touch any leaf eaters. "  Hmm, Littlefoot thought to himself.  "Maybe you should meet Chomper, you could share tips with each other." He said.


Mim didn't have any idea who Cyrix was talking about so decided to try for a more humorous answer, "It was Ducky wasn't it?" She said, sure it wasn't Ducky who was smaller then Longtail.

"Well, it should be interesting to try all the food this Valley has to offer, excluding Leafs and Leaf-eaters of course." - Cayso then looked to the front - "That must be the cave, that means lunch is served." - The little Fast-bitter smiled, Crawlers are not near as tasty as meat is, but at least it is food.

Cyrix at first only smiled, but then began to laugh as he heard Mim's answer to his question.

He then said "You are a funny one...but no. Believe it or not...we actually got Cera's father Topsy to help with that little exercise." Longtail at that time stretched his tail, and stood up yawning. He blinked several times and then said "That was a good nap." The young flyer then looked up to his Aunt and Uncle and asked "Did I miss anything important, or fun?"
