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

The Land Before Time - "Dawn"

Blueberry turned around and meet up with Ruby.
"Hi Ruby. Glad to see you safe and sound. We've gathered here to discuss the matters that have occured, but..." he pointed with his tumb over his shoulder.
"It doesn't go so well..." he grined.

Littlefoot came up to them.
"Hi Ruby, it's great to see you safe indeed. Yeah, Blueberry's is right... and now we're waiting for Mr:Thicknose and the other old ones."

"We belive they might know something" Blueberry filled in.
Do well. Live well. And dress very well.

Petrie flew over to where Littlefoot was, "Hello guys.  They argue like always.  No new thing." Petrie said.

Mim walked along with Spiral.  "I bet they are arguing like usual.  That certainly does sound like the usual thing that happens.." Mim said looking in the direction then to the others present.  "Maybe it should be renamed to be called the arguing place."

Mr. Thicknose nods, "Ok, if everyone else is ready." He looked around and they nodded and he started off with the rest of them walking.  Blue-eyes walked next to Scareface.  Zal on one side and Rhyn flying near the ground on the other side of the 2 fast biters.  Mia walked in the back and diver riding on her.  They headed to where the main meeting place was.  Mr. Thicknose walked at the same speed as the others and kept just in front of Blue-eyes and Scarface instead of way in front as some may do.

Thanks, Ruby said and smiled. I am glad to see you all without any problems.

Chomper was still tired, so he climbed onto Littlefoot and laid down on his back.

Again, Ecco adressed to Blueberry. I am very sorry for what I¥ve done. I... I hope you will forgive me in time.

"Heh, seems some things don't change that much," Kariya responded as they covered the last bit to the meeting place.

Spiral dropped back a little, to better observe the proceedings.

Dante nodded.  
"Yeah.  It's just the way that adults sort things out, I guess.  I dunno."

Blueberry turned away from Ecco. "Not now... Okay? I told you I was fine!"

He then noticed some new faces arriving. He said to Ruby,
"Friends of yours?"

"Someone's being lazy here..." Littlefoot grined and let Chomper on to his back.
"Who are they?" he said and walked next to Blueberry and Ruby.
Do well. Live well. And dress very well.

Mim smiles looking at Littlefoot, "They are new arrivals in the valley."  Mim said then looked at Ruby, "You want to introduce them?" She asked her.  

Petrie looked at the new folks, "New? Me hope they friendly?" He asked.

Better you do Mim, Ruby said. You know them better than I do, I guess. I am not so good in introducing others. But thanks for asking, she said and smiled.

Chomper yawned and turned to the left side. He felt asleep and dreamed about his parents and the island, their home.

Grandpa longneck looked down and smiled. He then said, "Does anyone know these travelers? If so then Mim you may have the honor of welcoming them into the valley. I wouldn't mind at all."

(ooc: I guess they mean the group with Ruby & Mim plus Kariya  & Spiral, instead of Thicknose's group, who I'm not sure will appear, maybe during this introduction.  not sure of the ideas or assumptions others have.)

Mim nods to Ruby, "If you are sure ok."  Mim then looks at Spiral and Kariya and then the others present.  "This is Spiral & his sister Kariya.  They are recent arrivals I believe." She then looked at Spiral and Kariya, "Spiral & Kariya this is Grandpa Longneck, Littlefoot, Petrie...." Mim said going to introduce the others present that she knows to Spiral and Kariya."  

- - - - -

Blue-eyes nodded, "It looks like they may.  I do hope it goes as well for us as for those others." Blue-eyes said looking at the others being introduced by Mim not to far off.

Meanwhile, Zaine had snuck away from the meeting circle a little before the new group came in. "I can't wait any longer. Longtail needs my help now! I just hope I can find him. Then again, he probably wants to kill me, so it shouldn't be too hard." Zaine reached a clearing and began to call out his friend's name. "Longtail? Longtail! Where are you?"

At first Zaine got no answer, but after several moments a cool breeze began to blow and a voice called out. "Hello again Zaine. I see you are having trouble looking for your friend Longtail. What can I do to help."

Zaine then stopped as he recognized the voice. "Longtail's mother? Man am I glad to hear your voice again! I really need your help! Your son's been corrupted by some evil force! I think I can convince the good inside of him to come back, but he was taken by some other dinosaur. Before he left, he vowed to kill me, so if I leave myself in the open, he's bound to find me. I know I'm risking myself, but Longtail's my best friend! I know he would do the same for me! Please, you have to help me find him!"

Soul sighed and said, "Yes, I know what's happened to my son...and sadly I can't interfere with this matter. And even more unfortunate is that he's not here in the valley anymore, but...you are correct in the assumption that he wants to kill you. This new darkness is far too strong for him or you to fight alone...it will take everyone he cares deeply about to bring him back, and even then it may not work, and he may have to die."

"Let's just pray that it doesn't come to that."
A second voice said, as Arius's spirit winked into existence.
"I know that it would break Dante and your hearts."

"My name's Blueberry. Nice to meet you!" Blueberry said to the newcomers.
He noticed they were looking at his wounded body.
"Um... I... tripped..." he said and gave a fake smile.
To get eyes of him, he turned to Littlefoot.
"This is my friend Littlefoot!"

"Hi, nice to meet you!" Littlefoot said and greeted.

"And this here is Chomper... He's... sleeping right now." he added, giving a quick smile.
Do well. Live well. And dress very well.

Mim smiled as the others talked to the new comers.  "I'm sure you folks well get along well." She said, keeping what she had to say brief so the new comers could speak.


Mr. Thicknose and the others continued and they arrived at near the edge of the meeting place.

Grandpa Longneck smiled once more and commented by saying, "Hello Mr.Thicknose. nice to finally see you today. How are you, and I suppose more importantly have you heard the news as to where Longtail may be?
