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

Dr. Zanasiu accepted the handgun from Nick. He checked the magazine. "Thanks."

Dr. Zanasiu, Rime, Strut, Dr. Kerzach, Deimos, Mr. Bigmouth and Ms. Swimmer all signed in.

"Stripetail, the bodies were found in a closet in the back of the hotel about 10 to 20 minutes ago. They have been in there for quite a while as they are only skeletons with some bits of cloth on them, possibly the remnants of a uniform." Zachary said.

Possibly some former staffers, although how they got there is a big question. They most likely did not die in the closet, but rather were put there. by whom or what.. we don't know.." Stripetail mused...

Aves was eating the cake as he listened to the conversations

"Not just the phantoms and the harpies" he cut in "But the random flying Medusa heads that usually haunt the lower basement corridors. And the specters of the glowing green caverns below that."

"We can ask if they have a dinning room or a kitchen here, though I do have some Scooby snacks on me.  Fresh ones not stale ones." Velma said to Veemon.

(ooc: who's the front desk guy talking to.  no one was there so I though I had my chars walk outside after sara put the umbrella spell back up.  Or was I wrong?)

I prefer  trying to find the kitchen. I'm starving" Veemon grinned..
 Hello there" Briggins grinned as he saw the tOurist and the others come back in. " Forgive me for not attending to you earlier. I had .. business to attend to. "Please sign your names into this boook here and i'll set you up with rooms for the night. We accept cash or credit.. for payment.." He said gazing at Brooklyn..

Velma nods, "Lets go and see if they have a kitchen here.  I wonder if you'd like a Shaggy snack." Velma said remember the few times she or Daphne had made one.

"Sure you're not to busy?" The Tourist asked.

I''m glad to be busy, usually we don't get this number of customers, niot in recent years " Briggins replied. "He motioned again to the book. "Just sign in ladies and gents, its twenty dollars a night.. sign in, pay and get your room key, the third and fourth floors are where most of our guests have been put this evening, would you like one of those two floors, or would you prefer a higher or lower floor?" He said, as another crash of thunder could be heard..

"It's boring," Mikoto sighed. "All of the interesting things came from a parallel universe that the residents call Dino Earth."

"I'm not a device," Stego explained. "I'm a Bakuryu, I'm just talking through the Dino Minder, since my body would be too conspicious for me to be near the hotel."

-----------------------------

"It looks good on you," B.G. said of Agumina's armor.

Cynder frowned at the flirting Blackguilmon.

"Where did Stripetail disappear to anyways?" Spyro asked.

"Sure, I"ll go ahead and pay." Odysseus said and went forward to pay and sign.  

The Tourist nodded, "Ah, a Bakuryu.  Some other universes they are called zords, galactibeasts, wildzords, and other names.  Though some are only telepathic.  Dinos, reminds me, someday I should go and see how Ali, Ducky and Petrie are doing, and the others."  


"Bio-mechanical beings? I've encountered some of them." Brooklyn said, remembering Coldstone and the others who shared the 1 body at first.

Stego's faceplate flashed white , Topgaler's face replacing it and his cold voice once again coming from the Dino Minder. "I'm a Bakuryu and do not consider myself any of those other species, whatever they might be."

"Really?" Mikoto turned to Brooklyn. "What were they like?"

" Why don't we go and find him?' Dixie suggested. another crash of thunder and the lights in the hotel went out, plunging the group into darkness
_
AHh!" Bulk and Skull screamed as darkness fell around them.
-
 Dixie went over and grabbed a candlebra. " "Everyone, there are candles in everyone of your rooms. go and grab them. "Tonight , we hunt.. by candlelight..'
_ Nani Ran into her her room and soon returned holding a candlebra. Hunter, leaving his towel behind, ran and did the same.
_
So where are we going?" Hunter said, upon his return.
_
We're going to fuiind Stripetail, and find out what he's been up to..." Dixie replied.
-
Agumon, agumina, stick close to me ok" Tai said.

What's A shaggy snack?' veemon asked.
_
 Shaggy had made his way to the third floor when the lights went out. The only light came from the candles burning in thier holders. 'Great, Now how am I supposed to get to the 4th floor. Scooby's in room 416..' He muttered.. He grabbed a candle out of its holder, wincing as hot wax dripped into his hand. "Ouch, that smarts..

"A Shaggy snack is a really large sandwich about this tall." Velma said measuring about 1.5 to 2 feet tall.  "I think you may like that."   Then she looks around as the lights go out.  "This isn't good." She says.  She takes out her cell phone and turns it on, turning its brightness up to full and using it like a flashlight.  "This will work for the moment at least." She said.  

 - - - -

"It first it was a bit of a tortured existence since they unknowingly put 2 individuals into one body.  But they were separated into their own bodies before to long and they are very happy and are mates like they were before." Brooklyn said.  

Ian didn't say anything but he could sympathize  with them, having to share a body with her.  

Once the light went out Sara made a fist that started to glow and when she opened her hand a ball of light floated above her head.  

As much as I dislike it you take over, your eyesight is better then mine. Ian said to Sam, who was bored and not doing much, and mentally stepped back letting her take over.  Under his wraparound glasses that looked like sunglasses his eyes started to glow with an amber color and his pupils went to their reptilian slit and his muscles swelled slightly.  

"looks like the storm may have knocked them out for good." Brooklyn said, not bothered much since gargoyle eyes were better then humans at seeing in the dark and gargoyles were designed for seeing at night.

"oh well." The Tourist said pulling out his sensor/scanner glasses and putting them on the low light setting so he could see better.  

"Storms can do that often." Odysseus said.

"Don't forget your keys. I've given you rooms 431, 433, 435, and 437.' Briggins said, using a small candle to locate the correct keys.Hev grabbed them and placed them on the counter. 'Did everyone sign in? Each gueest must sign in.."

-
 Veemon found that he could see a little in the darkness, enoughto see Velma. 'Yeah I'd like that..
_
Nick stumbled around in the darkness, his eyes weren't that good, and in the darkness he felt for the walls to stabilize himself
 
_Lichtus" Stripetail said, and his staff let off a bright light, illuminating the hallway in front of him.."This is going to be a long night.."

Everyone went forward to sign in, Sam switched long enough to let Ian sign in then took over.  Brooklyn was glad he had learned to read and write, it did come in handy indeed.

"Lilo, Stitch Angel stay close to me" Nani said, as the group moved out into the hallway. Nanu held the candles out in front of her, they flickered the gusts that seeped through the poorly ventilated windowd. Periodic lightning lit up the hallway, they had to go to the middle of the floor to go downstairs.. It was then Dixie noticed something stranger. That holder is upside down.' She said pointing at it, the holder was upside down and located in the middle of the wall. "I wonder if this opens anything.." Dixie mused.
_
Lets just find Mr Stripetail " Lilo said. "I feel safe with him around.. then we can look at this..'
_
Bulk went up to holder, grabbed it, and turned it right side up, as he did a portion of the wall slid back.

Deimos reached inside a pocket of his armor and lit a flare.

Zachary heard something sliding upstairs. "I'll go see what that noise is. Deimos come with me."

Deimos had his pistol in one hand and the flare in his other hand as he followed Zachary up the stairs.

The group soon encountered Nani, Lilo, Stitch, Angel, Dixie and Bulk.

"So what did you all find?" Deimos asked.

Zachary had his ax at the ready.

---------

"Nick, our group needs the keys." Dr. Kerzach said. "We have 7 but Dr. Zanasiu and Rime will be sharing a room."
