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

Jungle Cubs: The RP

Namita turned, "Hmm, oh hi Bagheera, no nothing's wrong" she smiled, "I was just...thinking about how such an odd structure that's not trees or anything probably got there" she indicated the clubhouse, "I remember my dad saying a while ago that sometimes humans just leave places and...well...who knows you know" she finished, not wanting Bagheera to think their clubhouse was just some human den since she knew how much he and Shere Khan seemed to not like them, she on the other hand was curious for some reason.

"Morning" Shere Khan greeted both RJ personally and any of the others as he stretched and leap down.

Baloo stood up, now more awake then before, "Good mornin yourself and everyone else.  I trust everyone had as excellent a night as I had?" He asked, going over to a pillar to scratch a part of his back he could not quite reach.

Kaa yawned from where he was, smacking his jaws and lips a bit as he slowly stretched part of his coils that were not coiled around rafter things still remaining.

"Well actually," Bagheera said, remembering the story of these ruins, "From what I was told, the humans did used to live here.  But these humans were really cruel to the animals. It is said some tigers banded together and chased them away, which explains why this place is abandoned," he said.

(OOC: That was never brought up in the show, I just made it up for the RP.)

(ooc: Makes sense, and if we say Shere Khan was related to some of those tigers however distantly it could explain his hate of man, like if his mom (the only parents mentioned as far as I know) told him about it alot and stuff)

"Golly, that is bad" Namita said, "I'm glad they're not around anymore if they were like that". She smiled, "You sure seem to know alot of history about this jungle" she complimented a bit hesitantly, "I mean I know you live here and all, but it's still kinda...impressive" she shrugged.

With a streatch of his own, and almost yawn like trumpet, Hathi stirred as well, "Well,  good morning everyone, all rested and ready for another day?" he asked the others in the clubhouse.

Shere Khan frowned, "Must you make noise this early?" he grouched even if he'd already been awake.

"Well, I love knowledge," Bagheera smiled, "I know alot about the history of the jungle."

Louie got up out of his seat. "Another fine day," he laughed.

"Sorry Khan," Bagheera apologized, "I was just Namita about the history of these ruins."

"I meant the noise elephant for your information" Khan said, leaping down. Hathi grinned apologetically again, "but while we're on it, what could you know about the history of before we were even here, I mean really, besides just having to take the grown-ups word".

"Oh he seems to know plenty" Namita chimed in in Bagheera's defense with a smile.

"Yess, a fine morning indeed." Kaa said looking up into the morning sky. "So far at least."

"I wonder what fun and wonders we'll have today." Baloo said, going over to get and eat one the fruits or other eatable food for his breakfast.

"Well, there's evidence to back the story up," Bagheera said. "When we first started using this place I noticed tiger tracks that were too big to be Khan's, and the fact that humans never come near here."

Shere Khan smirked, "Well I wasn't questioning every story" he casually sharpened his claws, "I for one believe very firmly tigers could have saved this place from man, but some of the other stuff you claim to know, I'm not so sure".

"Still, lucky for you guys, a tiger still guards this place so, we won't have to worry about man even now" Shere Khan went on.

From where he'd been awake a while listening, Basdev cracked one eye open, "I hate to tell you this, kid" he said, "but I think any hunters or what not would be more scared of a half grown panther like me than they would a cub, no offense".

Khan wasn't detoured though and frowned, "A normal cub, yeah sure, but I'm destined to rule this jungle".

"Oh my mistake" Basdev hid a smile.

"So what do you folks want to do today? Any ideas?" Baloo asked, thinking it best to avoid getting into arguments, and besides they were not fun, or certain debates.

"Speaking of which, I think it's time us hunters get breakfast," Bagheera said.

"Oh yeah, and...you were gonna show me some pointers, weren't you" Namita smiled a bit shyly at Bagheera. Turning to her brother gave her some reprieve as she explained, "Bagheera offered to show me some hunting tips, n-not that you're not one of the greatest hunter too and...".

Basdev laughed, "I think that's fine Namita, sure you cubs go hunt on your own, something tells me these boys have had to get good at that".

"Ok then, follow me Namita," Bagheera smiled. Meanwhile he was expecting Shere Khan and Kaa to eventually do the same.

(ooc: I forgot about Kaa needing to hunt.)

"I think I shall also partake of this time to do a little hunting also.  I'll see you guys later." Kaa said and started to slither off.  

"Ok Kaa, see you when you get back." Baloo said.

"What are you hungry for?" Bagheera asked Namita.

Shere Khan, not surprisingly, walked off to do his hunting solo, just so he could brag that he did and also if anything went wrong no one would see it but him so he could tweak the story to his own needs.

"Well, to tell the truth, I'm also thinking of what's going to be easiest" Namita said, "for my sake that is, um, let's see..." she thought.

(sorry I didn't conclude it, let's see what kind of animals would cubs their age be trying to hunt?)

(ooc: I don't know what animals are in india, but maybe small animals, the equivalent of maybe rats, rabbits, maybe birds, maybe fish.))

Baloo finished his breakfast, some nearby fruit and such.  Handy he thought, being able to eat nearby plant food.  He wished all his friends were as lucky.

"Rabbits are easy to catch, and they taste good," Bagheera commented. "Let's hunt those."

RJ who was never really taught how to hunt. walked off to go find some food as well."Please just for one time don't screw this up" Rj said to himself. remembering the thousands of time he tried hunting and the thousand mistakes he encountered while trying.
