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

"We need to finish up as much as possible Aves. The more we do now, the more free time we'll have to relax later' Mause said, giving him a disapproving look.

Dan and Terry go back to painting, with Terry pausing to put some of the food he has into  his hat to feed a hidden Poromon.

Eddie headed back over to the collection of paint can, grabbed a brush and set to work again. Drake reached over with his tail and dipped the brush he had curled the tip of his tail around into the can.

The peaerl sailed into port, and Jack called out to his crew. " Alright, mates! Stop what you are doing, and get ready to debark! We'll be spending the next couple days here, which is just as well, as the weather's not looking too good" Clouds had blocked out the sun, and they were growing darker..

"All right!" Drake exclaimed happily. He tossed his paintbrush down and leapt off the ship, opening his wings and circling around to land on the duck. Two pirates stopped and stared at the dragon in shock.

"Um, hi?" Drake said at which the men quickly headed back towards their ship.

"Do you need any help gathering supplies, Captain?" Eddie asked.

Yes, Eddie, I will need help with supplies.. Food, Drink, and a place to stay for the night. I will cover your rooms for the night, since you are my crew, but tommorow night, you'll have to pay your way..Jack replied.

"That seems fair enough." Terry said, how carried some gold and gems around, figuring whatever time period or version of earth he 'd wind up in there would be some who find it valuable.

"Meh, humans," Drake sighed, leaning against the Pearl's hull. His expression became sad for a moment, before his usual neutral expression reappeared.

"That will be fine," Eddie said. He didn't think the pirates would take the money he had on him and he didn't have much anyway, but he was used to going without a proper bed.

Dan went ashore.  Once Terry was sure he was alone he looked at Poromon in his hat.  "Maybe best you digivolved.  Some of these pirates may not be very nice." Terry said, and pressed a spot on his secret belt buckle under his shirt that gave him over 150 lbs of extra muscle and denser bones, ligaments/tendons to support the extra muscle.  

Poromon got out of the hat (which remained a hat since it wasn't in contact when he initiated his change, unlike the rest of his clothes which switched to his green ghost costume.   He put his hat on, moving his goggles off of his eyes but onto his forhead, out of the way but still handy.  

Poromon digivolved.  "Poromon digivolve to..... Hawkmon." he said during his digivolution.  (ooc: As seen at:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AI3h98EK31k )

Hawkmon landed on Terry's shoulder and they went ashore.  Terry easily jumping from the boat to the dock with Hawkmon flying and landing on Terry's shoulder once he landed.

Eddie copied Terry's easy jump to shore. He turned to regard Terry's change of attire with a raised eyebrow. It appeared to be some trick of technology. "Interesting costume. I take it you are a super hero?"

"What are you?" Drake asked, turning to stare curiously at Hawkmon.

"Sort of yes, in the world and time I'm from.  Though I've spent more time in the digital world lately.  Can't quite seem to find my way back home, though oddly enough I can still interact with it through email, im messengers, skype and other internet means, just can't physically go there." Terry said.

Hawkmon looked up at Drake, "I'm Hawkmon, a type of Digimon, digital monster." He said, "Nice to meet you." He said.

Mause climbed into the boat, not noticing Terry's change or the arrival of Hawkmon. "I'm ready to set foot on land again, Captain!" She declared..

"Name's Drake," the dragon said. "Where are you from? I've travelled all over, but I've never encountered a digital monster before."

"I know what it's like to be trapped in a place you'd rather not be..." Eddie said. "At least, you can still interact with your home, even if it's only in a small way."

"I'm from the digital world.  A bit hard to get to here since there is no internet or computers." Hawkmon said.

"But possible with an invention of mine or it will be once it's recharged." Terry said, and he nodded to what Eddy said, "at least I can interact with it a little even if I can't get back there.  That is something, but not the same as being able to visit."

"I haven't heard of those either," Drake said. He wondered for a moment just far away from his home he had wandered and if he would ever be able to get back.

"Marooned twice?" Eddie turned to Jack. "How did you escape?"

luck.. both times.." Jack replied. "The first time I managed to buy passage on a rum ship that used the island as a storage depot. The second time though it was a bit more complicated.."

"Walking on water with inflatable shoes or a raft?"

"Or maybe fish power." Hawkmon said remembering one of Gomamon's power in his rookie form.
