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

Aves's Vacation

"Something that really disagreed with you" Mause said, sticking her head back in, and finding the fox slumped on the bunk. "Why couldn't you have puked out the window? Then we wouldn't have to clean this place...'

"Couldnt help it." grumbled Aves "I was .... overwelmed."

He struggled to his feet and aproached the entrance to peer out

 "And what exactly has been going on these past two hours while I was spitting up my insides?"

We're on our way to Tortuga, wherever that is, to get supplies. Jack say it should only take a day or so to get there, but I think you need to move around after puking for so long.." Mause said.

"I got elected as the ship's cook," Eddie said, approaching the group. The symbiote was still imitating the garb of a chef. "You're welcome to try dinner if you think you can keep it down."

"He cooked the fish I caught," Drake said saddly, then added boastingly. "It was a huge swordfish."

"Move around? Augh... I feel I need a nap rather."

with those words Aves collapsed in the doorway face up where he stared blankly up at the ceiling.

"Wake me when this crazy dream is over.... or do I have that backwards somehow?"

ooc: that'll be my three post limit for the night. I'm off to do some work before bed =)

"Are you sure he's still awake?" Drake asked, prodding the fox's side with the tip of his tail.

Eddie sighed. His plan to thrust the cooking duties to someone else had now turned to him ending up the cook's assitant more than likely.

Dan came down with a mop and bucket with some ocean water in it.  The Gou'uld blocked off his sense of smell so he could not smell.    He went over to get started on helping Drake.  

"Maybe it'll help if he's carried or drug up above to some fresh air, but maybe held with his head over the side of the ship, in case he's not finished." Dan said as he got started helping Drake mop up the area, glad he could not smell things at the moment.  He was thinking he may try like what dolphins do, he'd sleep while Toh was awake, and while the other slept he'd be awake, so they'd not need to use the small and likely smelly crew quarters.

Good idea" Jack agreed. "Take the fox up to the deck, and let him rest outside. This place smells.. even worse than usual, he sniffed. "Usually the worst smell in here is the smell of the barnacles growing on the ship..."

"Good, slaving over a hot pot is not what we were put in this world to do," Eddie said.

"How could one little fox throw up so much?" Drake asked. He stepped back and set the mop to the side. He turned back to the mess and snapped his fingers, the vomit hovering into the air. The dragon waved his hand towards the porthole and the vomit flew out of it. "I wish I'd thought of that sooner."

Dan stopped moping to watch that.  "Very handy." He said as he watched the effects of the spell.  "Did it take long to learn that?" He asked Drake.

"No, that one was easy," Drake replied. "It was harder to learn how to make something disappear all together.

Jack saw the spell. "Well, now I know who to put on mop duty. Congrats matey," He said to Drake "you're in charge of cleaning up this old tub. Use that little trick of yours , and make the Pearl shine like the day she first sailed the seas."

"Um, okay..." Drake said. He closed his eyes and concentrated. A shimmer of green light moved outwards from the dragon and across the whole ship, leaving it spotless of dirt and also erasing every bit of paint on it and leaving the trademark sails white rather than black. "Oops. I think I overdid it."

"You're not supposed to clean it in 5 seconds!" Jack yelled. "Its supposed to occupy your time for hours, and you're supposed to feel a sense of accomplishment when you're finally finished. Now go up on the mast and recolor the sails..by claw" he said..

"I don't think cleaning would leave me with a sense of accomplishment," Drake said scratching his head in confusion. "And why do we need black sails anyway? Most ships just have white sails."

"Was the regular magic or dragon magic?" Dan asked curiously.

"Um, regular, I guess," Drake said.

Eddie crossed his arms. He was standing on the deck and glancing around in bewilderment at the ship's sudden lack of paint. "I have a feeling that dragon is behind this."

"Because its the BLACK Pearl' Jack sputtered. "the Ship is black, the sails are black, the crew is black.. -hearted... I did not fight Barbossa over a WHITE Pearl, I fought him over the Black Pearl.."
