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

Deimos looked at the ring. "Hey, are there any light sources here?"

"I've got a flashlight." Dr. Kerzach said.

"You've got flares." Zachary replied.

"Hello there, You want to go first.  I've been here before and if it's your first time here you should go first." Sara said.  

Brooklyn loaded his plate with some various things and went back to dish the things out to the various folks who had asked for this or that.  

- - - - -

Terry sat down and finished his breakfast, drinking a bit of the orange juice he had.  Hawkmon ate a bit and drank a bit, but stopped before he was full.  He remembered how lethargic he felt with a full stomach so knew to avoid that.  He would have to be ready to fight at a moment's notice so a full stomach would only slow him down.  Terry didn't like the feel of a full stomach so avoided eating till he was full also.

Velma ate her breafast, being more hungry then she thought, but keeping her eating at a normal pace so she could talk if anyone talked to her.

Brooklyn waved back to Stripetail once he had a hand free.  "Great to see you again." Brooklyn said.

Sara got in like behind Stripetail and made her way to where a few things were that she wanted to get some of again that she put onto her plate.

- - - -

Terry pushed his plate a bit farther away.  "Do you have any ideas what to do?" he asked looking at Hawkmon who had finished also.

Perhaps we should ask some of the others guests for help. "Hawkmon replied.. "Perhaps they can be of asistance. the boom of thunder shook the hotel, the rain outside was not letting up..

Well, it looks like We'll be statying indoors today" stripetail said to Sara. "Forgive my forwardness, Sara, But where are you from?   I've befriended dragons before, indeed a dragon named Tarrax is my best friend..' He smiled as an idea came to mind....

"Asisstance of what type I wonder." Terry said, half aloud and half to himself.  

- - -

Sara looked at the windows (if there are any) and the rain, "Yes it does seem to be raining a lot." She said.  "It'll stop eventually most likely, but until then staying inside is best, unless one must go outside." She said holding herself in her usual noble manner.

Sara smiled, "I'm not from this world or universe.  I'm from another world called Korodos.  Doubt you've heard of it." She said.

Zachary got up and walked out of the dining room. "I'll see if I can get some light."

Dr. Kerzach looked at Zachary's left over plates. "Damn! I've never seen anyone eat more than 40 pancakes in 1 sitting."

Deimos chuckled. "Well, he's a Clydesdale with the strength of 7 men; therefore it is not surprising that he has an appetite like 7 men."

Dr. Kerzach shrugged and continued eating. "What is there to do around here?"

Dr. Zanasiu also got up. "I'm going to standing guard at the front of the hotel.

Chris and Anton entered the dining room at the same time Dr. Zanasiu left.

Anton turned to Deimos. "Ah, it is pleasing to meet you. I am Anton Kondrashchenko."

Deimos looked at the clock and then at Anton. "Sorry, Mr. Kondrashchenko, but I'm late for work." He then leapt to his feet and ran out the dining room.

Strut was eating a leafy salad and fruit.

Chris then turned to Dr. Kerzach. "Hello."

Dr. Kerzach looked up from his meal. "Hello, Mr..."

Chris chuckled. "It's Shuang. Ching Shuang to be exact but you can call me Chris'."

Dr. Kerzach shook hands with Chris. "Well nice to meet you Chris. I am Yuri Kerzach."

"Nice to meet you too. Mr. Kerzach."

"It's Doctor Kerzach." Dr. Kerzach replied.

"Sorry about that." Chris said.

"It's okay. Now, I've got to go to work." Dr. Kerzach said, getting up from his seat and heading to the lobby.

Nick sat at a nreearby table, as Chris and Anton entered the room. He gave them a brief glance, and went back to eating.. "He hadn't had much to eat, and while this hotel was a dump, the food served was very good.. and he got paid to work here, too..which was another thing in its favor..

"On the Korodos Imperial Council? Yes, I am," Sara said nodding.  "Met him, it may be interesting to meet him." Sara said wondering what sort of dragon he was and the reason behind the suggested meeting, "Living through time can be hard since it is 1 day at a time.  Though it does have it's advantages.  I like to sometimes travel in other directions and with The Tourist that is possible, as well as getting to see new places and such at times." Sara said.

Time travel does carries its risks though, and that is why it is very strictly regulated...even a slight change in events in time creates a new timeline.. and once the change is done, you can't unchange it, the new timeline is still there.." stripetail said.

Now let me tell you a little about Tarrax, and then you can tell me a little about yourself. Tarrax is  a permanent member of the Dragomalin Council, and is close to the Head Dragon who runs the Council. He was considered an "outlaw' for many thousands of years, and onlt within the past few years has the healing process started, which included restoringg him to the Council as a permanent member. Tarrax and I are very very close, we are like brothers and each can tell what the other is thinking at any moment.. He hasn't had many lady friends in recent times, and hopefully he'll become interested in you, as a friend after your meeting..' Stripetail said.

Sara listened to what Stripetail said, "I hope things worked out for him and that outlaw business was sorted out." Sara said, "I guess he's not found many to his liking." She said.

"As for myself, I'm not to remarkable.  My family are in the Imperial Korodos Council since some of my ancestors helped the grandparents of the current emperor against a very dangerous uprising some 10 thousand years ago or so.  I'm primarily a scholar type, but I do like making enchanted items now and then as a hobby since it's more handy to have a self powered item then to have to keep casting a spell over and over.  Though I mainly have those in my employ make the items.  Though I do paint once in a while.  I became friends with The Tourist during one of his adventures on Korodos that lead to him becoming adopted into the Emperor Akar the 2nd's family.  & my family made among his personal advisers. Including 2 of my great grandparents, even though they are often away exploring a lot of the time, unless they are in the mood to have and raise kids which the mood strikes them every few centuries or a millenia  or so."
