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 morning came and  stripetail stirred from his bed. A glance at the old-fashioned clock on the wall showed that it was a few minutes before six. He was probably the first of the group to wake..the power had still not come back on, so stripetail lit his staff..

"Human, it's morning," Topgaler said through the Dino Minder. Mikoto stirred and glanced around. He rolled out of bed and grabbed his white coat from where it hung on the wall, putting it on.

He decided to see if the hotel served anything good for breakfast, before starting his game with the wolf. He opened the door to his room and stepped out into the hall.

The Tourist got up using a penlight held in his mouth he carefully disarmed his 19th century security device and put it away.  Odysseus awoke soon there after.  They both then went over to the other room to knock gently and Brooklyn came over to answer it.  Ian/Sam awoke at the sound of the gentle knocking as did Sara.

Genki was the first in  Room 410 to stir, he was very tired, and loked at the clock near the bed.  To read 6:07. "Still early in the morning..' He muttered as he got out of bed. 'tiger, Tigress" Hev yawned. Time to get up.."
_
Nick stirred from inbetween Rime and Zaniusu. He lo0ked at the clock, and fumbled for his glasses on the bedside table. "Time to get up and get back to work. Breakfast should be starting shorrtly.." Nick Said, climbing out of bed and into his work cholthes..

Brooklyn opened the door and Odysseus and The Tourist walked into the room.  

"Sorry if I woke anyone up." The Tourist said.

Seeing how dark it was Sara reached into one of her pouches & pulled out some rings.  Each one put out a sphere or light around 40-50 feet in diameter.  She made her way over to the others.  

"I see the lights are not on yet, here, put these on." She said and put one on herself, handing others to Odysseus and The Tourist who each put one on.  The Tourist put away his penlight.  Sam, and Brooklyn didn't need rings since they could see in low light conditions well and could use the light the other's rings put out to see well.

_____

Terry woke up.  He was quiet and lay there thinking about things before Hawkmon woke up.  He assumed he would be hungry, considering how much he had seen digimon eat.  He wondered where they put it all.

"Are you going to see if that guy found a way to get us home?" Stego asked.

Mikoto ignored the Bakuryu's question, heading downstairs and looking around for Briggens to ask him where they served breakfast at.

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

B.G. yawned and rolled onto his back, before stretching out his tail, arms, legs, and neck. He pulled himself into a sitting position and glanced around. His sleeply gaze fell on Stripetail and he squeeked. "Pancakes?"

Rime woke up Dr. Zanasiu. "Hey, James we've got to get to work."

James woke up, and washed up. He put on his labcoat and armor.

Rime also put on his armor and left the room.

They then headed to the lobby.

---------

Dr. Kerzach was already fully dressed and heading into the kitchen to assist Nick.

"Hey, Nick need any help?" Dr. Kerzach said.

----------

Zachary had washed up and was dressing. After a few minutes he was dressed, including his armor. He looked at his horseshoe shod feet.

 "Hmm. I've got to change them soon. Luckily, I got a set that was forged at Shaggy's house." he muttered

He then left his room and encountered Deimos, who was also similarly armored.

"Hey, Deimos what do you want for breakfast?" Zacharay asked.

"Just a hamburger or some kind of meat." Deimos replied.

The group then headed to the lobby.

Hawkmon woke up.  He looked at Terry.  "Good morning.  I do trust you slept well." He said.

Terry looked at Hawkmon, "yes, I slept rather well.  There's some pizza left if you want some." He said.  "How did you sleep."

"Marvelous, considering the accommodations and atmosphere of the place." Hawkmon said.

Briggins came up to them, today wearing a faded tuxedo with a corsage. " Good morning, guests, I trust you slept well.." He was holding a large calebra. which illuminated the room around him. "Breakfast will be served in the dining room at 7. Waffles,m pancakes, an assortment of cereal, muffins, sausage, and any special orders  yoiu care to ask for.."
_
 Stripetail gestured, and B.g was holding a plate full of hot buttermilk pancakes.  "Anything else.
_
Scooby stoitrred from his Sleep. Dixie continued to sleep next to him, the candlelight showed her face in peaceful relief. her lips were a prominent feature, as their redness stood out from the rest of her face, which was a pale, light shade of brown. Scooby felt a number of emotions ccome through him as he looked at his fiance. Love, was the most prominent...

"Let's go down and see what they have for breakfast before we eat the pizza." Terry said.  

"I do hope they have something suitable and not typical fair." Hawkmon said.

- - - - -

"Let's head downstairs and see what's for breakfast." Odysseus said.  

"Yea, I'm hungry." Brooklyn said rubbing his stomach.  

"You're not the only one." Ian said, knowing that Sam was as hungry as he was.  

The group headed to the door and headed to the stairs and downward, the more fighter types staying in the front with the others in the back.  Ian stayed in the rear since Sam could quickly take over if any danger from the rear appeared.

Dr. Zanasiu returned Mikoto's glare. "Breakfast is already here." He then turned to Briggins. "I'll take pancakes and orange juice."

Rime also turned to Briggins. "I'll just have some meat. I don't care what it is."

Zachary turned to Briggins. "Waffles."

Deimos also looked at Briggins. "Meat and I don't care what it is."

---------

Dr. Kerzach was preparing the pancakes. He kept glancing at Haresh.

The glare he recieved in return, did nothing to effect Mikoto. He was well used to hostility, since his behavior brought it on anyway. He turned and headed into the dining room, grabbing a plate.

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

"You forgot the syrup..." B.G. pointed out.

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

Spyro and Cynder were still asleep, probably tired from the flight they had made from Warfang to Avaler the previous day.

The Tourist's group continued down the stairs till they got to the lobby.  

"Something smells good." The Tourist said.  "One of the great benefits of gas cooking." He said.  

 - - - - -

 Terry and Hawkmon went to the door and went out to then head down the stairs.  

"I do hope breakfast is suitable." Hawkmon said.

- - -

Velma moved a bit in her makeshift bed and started to awaken.  She reached for her glasses where she had put them the night before and put them on as she started to sit up and stretch a bit while yawning.

Hearing Genki's voice, both monsters stood up and opened their eyes, although only one of them had actually been sleeping. Tigress had stayed up the entire night, making sure nothing bad would happen to the others while they got the rest they needed. Tigress needed her rest too, but her friends' comfort was a higher priority than her own. Fortunately, she's able to remain awake for days if she needs to.

She had very keen ears, and picked up on Genki's first sounds of starting to stir right away. Before the human was fully conscious though, she had slipped on to the unused bed and assumed a comfortable position, closed her eyes, and made her breathing sound involuntary.

Tigress was well aware that the boys would feel badly knowing that they enjoyed the pleasures of sleep while she had stayed up the whole night to ensure that they got it. Now, she artificially yawned, rubbed her eyes with her paw, then "groggily" got up slowly, and finally stretched herself out for about ten seconds.

Genki in turn yawned again and also gave his eyes a thorough rubbing. "That rest was great! I really needed that. So, did you guys sleep well too?" he asked them.

"There is nothing 'well' about it. Sleep is sleep, and even if there were multiple levels of it, you can't feel your body during then to know if it was different than another time anyway," he said a bit gruffly and finished with a huff. Tiger always tried to be the sense of reason with various issues. If only he would impliment a more positive air when he went about it though...

Tigress responded, "Yes, I slept very well." Now Tigress won't lie to her friends. Luckily, among the books that she had gone through, she had come across a couple English language and grammar books, and had studied them very well. Because Genki had asked the general question of sleeping well without specifying a time frame to limit her answer, she could honestly say "Yes."

She could think of many times that she had slept well, so her answer was completely accurate. Although, if Genki had asked them if they'd slept well "last night," then she would have had a bit more difficulty coming up with a good response.

"That's good," Genki replied. "So, should we look into that thing you sensed last night?" then he immediately covered his mouth.

"Genki!" Tigress exclaimed. But then she relaxed. What was said, was said, and she couldn't undo that. "Besides," she thought to herself, "he is still a child." Then she waited for the loud voice that she knew was coming.

"Huh? What is he talking about Tigress? You noticed something and didn't say anything? No, that isn't true. You told the one of us that can't do a thing about it and deceived the one that could! I'm started to see how I rate in this group. If you'd rather leave me out of things, than fine! Just do whatever you want! This 'group' is holding me back anyway." With that, he headed toward the door, swung it open with his jaws, then stormed out.

"Tiger, please wait! It isn't like that! Where are you going!?" Tigress called out to him desparately.

"I'd rather not include you in my affairs. You don't deserve to know. Sound familiar!?" then he slammed the door closed by rearing up and kicking them with his back legs.

Genki and Tigress quickly tried to go after him, but the door was closed with such force that it had jammed into the frame of the doorway, so it wouldn't budge. Tigress fell to the ground and wept bitterly.

Genki, who felt horribly for having caused the entire scene, said nothing more to keep from possibly making her feel worse, but simply sat beside her and put his arm around her furry neck.

Tigress lunged at him, and Genki feared that she was going to attack him, but instead, she placed one of her paws on each of Genki's shoulders. The side of her head gently leaned against the top of his chest, then Genki fully wrapped his arms around her. In times like this, some girls just need the comfort of being held close.

Finally, Genki said, "I'm so sorry, Tigress."

"Don't be," she told him quietly. "This is all my fault."
