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

In the land before time

Flapper was sitting in a tree eating a treesweet after he had eaten some leaves.  He was sitting with his back to the trunk since that added extra support.  Petrie landed next to where he was.  

"You see me friends.  Me look but me no see them.  Me stop here to rest." Petrie said.

Flapper shook his head.  "I've not seen them in a while.  Here have some of this." Flapper said as he took the treesweet he was eating and tore off a piece that he handed to Petrie.  

"Thanks." Petrie said before he started to eat the piece of treesweet.    [1]

(OOC: Hey Kor, what is the "[1]" for?)

Little Foot was amazed how Anna was able to catch those slivery buggers. Though he didn't exactly like the fact that she was actually going to eat them, he didn't pass any other judgement on her.

He chuckled at Cera's response as he watched the scene take place.

Pangaea thought for a moment. “Well, if CT has some of the gang with her, then we won’t exactly be able to ask her privately whether she’s told them about how we got here. But do you think we should go find her anyway?”

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

Guido stood up from the spot where he had fallen, and moved closer to Anna and the others. “So, uh…are you going to ëclean’ these things now?” he asked Anna, pointing a wing at the fish. “I, uh…I…I don’t think I want to watch that. Can I cover my eyes and you just tell me when you’re done?”

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

Screech considered telling Red Claw that he was facing the wrong direction as he attempted to present the two fast biters with the swimmer carcass. However, he figured that the big sharptooth probably felt like he was on a roll for having killed three large dinosaurs despite having lost his eyesight. The blue fast biter decided that he didn’t want to risk knocking Red Claw off his pedestal by pointing out that he had failed a minor feat of sensory orientation, for fear of him becoming irritated with him and/or again becoming despondent of is blindness.

Sounds good to me, Red Claw,” Screech said, standing up and walking over to where the swimmer had been set down.

Well,” he said, looking over the not very large but plump and delectably succulent leafeater, “blindness certainly hasn’t dampened your skills at hunting.” It was flattery, to be sure, but Screech figured that the more he could do to keep Red Claw from relapsing into that pathetic state of depression, the better.

Amy shrugged shyly, "Well okay, I guess we can ask her when she is not talking to anyone else."
--------
Red Claw heard Screech from the other direction and he shook his head in frustration.

Wow...HI-LARIOUS RED CLAW. He thought to himself, he didn't say anything about it being the proud hunter that he was.
--------
Rebecca decided to go find her children and see where they were.

I'm sure Pterano will come to our place soon enough. Hopefully Petrie will be able to see him.

She stopped to land where the longnecks, Grandma and Grandpa Longneck were. She looked around for the young ones around there.

Flapper finished the treesweet he had gotten from a nearby branch and looked at Petrie, "Maybe some of your friends are at the Thundering Falls or nearby." He said.

""Maybe, me look after me rested a bit longer." Petrie said.

"Plenty of room to rest up here, and enjoy the view also." Flapper said.  

---

Mia, Rhyn and Diver came upon a large, to them, depression where rain and other water had accumulated.

"Let's go for a quick swim." Mia said and went over to jump into the water.  

"Better then getting to hot." Rhyn said and flew over to land on the water and swim a little.

"I certainly like that idea." Diver said and went to join her friends in the water.  [1]

After getting their meal, Chomper and Claw went towards the Ruby's cave. All the way Claw was wondering how he should ask Ruby about this black fruit? He should probably talk to her in private or at least ask the question in a way that won't make anybody suspicious. It might be a bit tricky, but if he won't find a cure, then he will have to play his part as a spy of Rinkus and Sierra.

Moments later they arrived at the entrance to the cave.


OOC: By the way, F22 Raptor... Is your character still with me and Chomper?

I hope this is OK


                                                  ~Our world~

Patrick sighed as he got up from his computer, He was new to the GOF website, and was in the process of creating a character. He decided to take a break from his computer and headed towards the Kitchen to Grab a snack. Suddenly the floor seemed to open up beneath him and a black hole-like anomaly started to suck him into it . Patrick was too shocked to react and blacked out.


                                          ~Land before time Universe~

Patrick awoke in what looked like some sort of jungle. Patrick stood up and noticed his view was a lot shorter than normal. He then looked at his hands, only they were not human hands. Patrick gasped as he jumped back at this sight. He examined his body and then he spotted a nearby stream. He stared into it and saw a blurred reflection of his face. he was a Dome head, or a Pachycephalosaurus, and a hatchling by the looks of it. Patrick hesitated to reach for his right arm, but when he did, he gave it a pinch. "Ow" he yelped. Patrick looked around and saw he was still here, and still a dinosaur so he wasn't dreaming. Patrick decided to look around, maybe there was someone here who could help him.


As he searched, Patrick started to feel hungry, he looked around before he saw a small tree and tried to reach for the food. Unable to reach it, even by jumping, Patrick decided to try another approach. He moved back and after lowering his head, charged at the tree. His head hit with a thud, but he felt next to no pain. Patrick smiled when he saw what it yielded, a small pile of leaves. 'well now to see if it was worth it.' He thought as he picked up a star shaped leaf. Patrick closed his eyes and took a bite. To his surprise, it tasted good. It was so good he started to eat the small pile. Patrick gasped when he saw a green caterpillar on one leaf. He picked it up and recalled that Pachycephalosaurus was thought to have eaten a mixed diet of leaves, seeds, fruit and insects. Patrick gulped as he closed his eyes and ate the Caterpillar. Like the Leaves, it was surprisingly tasty. 'Thank you Wikipedia' He thought to himself as he continued eating until he was full.

Patrick looked around until he overheard someone talking. Looking trough some tall grass his eyes widened when he saw Little foot. it was impossible, he was a fictional character unless.... Some how he was transported to the Land Before time Universe. Patrick then saw a human. 'Impossible, unless she was brought here the same way he was.Patrick wasn't paying attention and fell flat on his stomach. "Ow!" He yelped out loud as he looked towards Little foot ad the human. Patrick decided he needed an alias, and one name came to mind. "Uh, hi I'm Rocky he said as he got up. and dusted himself off.

Little Foot looked to the Dome Head, a bit surprised of the brash entrance of the Dome Headand replied, "Are you okay? I-I'm Little Foot by the way."

"Thanks, me eated and resteded enough now me go looking for friends." Petrie said waving to Flapper.  Petrie took to the air, flying as he was looking for his friends.  He circled around the tree as he gained some altitude before he took off looking for where his friends were.  

Flapper continued sitting where he was.  Glad he had again hidden the fact he didn't really know how to fly and not sure how long he could keep it up.   He thought he should find a place to practice taking off and landing.  Somewhere where others would not see him.  He thought there should be some places since Littlefoot and his friends in some movies and tv episodes keep sneaking out of the Great Valley with no adult seeing them.  [1]

(OOC: For RP sake, I'll refer to my guy as rocky from now on)

"Yea, I just tripped. Anyways it's nice to meet you Littlefoot." Rocky said as he walked over towards little foot. It was then he realized that Cera was there too. Just as with Littlefoot, he decided to act as though he didn't know them so as not arouse suspicion. "and may I ask what your name is." Rocky asked Cera. Rocky hoped to get off on the right foot with these two, since It was probably in his best interest's. now he just needed a good cover story. But that could wait for the moment.

Chronicler had finished working on that tool for Claw a while ago, so he decided to pass the time by telling Ruby more of the Bionicle storyline. He had left off at the end of the first year, the 2001 storyline, so he told her everything that happened in the 2002 storyline. He started by describing the Bohrok, which had been awakened and began their task of destroying everything on the island of Mata Nui. He then described how both the Toa and the Matoran dealt with the threat of the Bohrok, eventually ending with the Toa successfully imprisoning the Bahrang, the Bohrok queens. This success also caused the Toa to be transformed into the more powerful Toa Nuva, which he also described.

As soon as he finished telling Ruby about the 2002 storyline, he noticed Claw and Chomper arrived, along with someone else. "About time you got here," said Chronicler, annoyed. "What took you so long?"

"I'm Cera.  I'm a threehorn in case you didn't know," Cera replied in her usual manner before she looked over at her sister and Ducky.  "This is my baby sister, Tricia."

"I am Ducky, yep yep yep!" Ducky chirped from where she stood near Tricia.  Tricia simply giggled and babbled as she kept watching Rocky.

"And that's Anna over there," Cera spoke up as she pointed her head in Anna's direction.  

"Hey there," Anna said as she waved her free hand.

"She's a weird one," Cera added.  "She calls herself a human, but she can also turn into a swimmer like Ducky.  Also, she eats swimming splashers."

"She means these guys," Anna said as she held up her spear that now held the three silverish fish on it.

"Yeah, and you better not bring them near me again!  They're gross" Cera barked.

"Cera is a scaredy-egg!  She is, she is!" Ducky giggled.

"I am NOT!  It's just, those are so slimy and smelly!" Cera replied.

"You sure acted like a scaredy-egg when one of the swimming splashers was stuck on your horn, yep yep yep!" Ducky giggled again.

"We're sorry ya missed the show," Anna joked with Rocky.  Cera, meanwhile, tried to look tough, but the others could see she was embarrassed about her recent behavior.

Rocky grinned as everyone was introduced. He could tell it was a good idea to pretend to be a dome head, at least until he could figure out how to turn into a human. Rocky kind of figured the Great valley Residents would find humans weird, another reason why it was safer not to cause a panic or something by acting like a crazy fan.

"Nice to meet you all." He said with a smile. Rocky chuckled that Cera found how Anna prepared her fish gross. He also heard Ducky teasing Cera. "You know Ducky, just because someone is disgusted by something don't mean their a scaredy-egg." The young Dome head replied. "I heard some Sharp Teeth only eat those swimming splashers and nothing else." Rocky stated. Rocky coulld see that despite his less than Ideal introduction, he looked as though he was getting off to a good start. Rocky decided to try and change the subject. "So what do you all do for fun around here?" He asked.

Petrie had been flying and looking for his friends.  Having found them he turned so he would be heading towards them.  He saw they had some others with him, strangers he had not met or seen before.  He hoped they were friendly and not scary or mean.   [2]

"Well... For a start. I got caught in the big storm, so this slowed me down a bit." Claw answered.

"And then we were playing at the Thundering Falls. Just after Claw raced with Littlefoot and Longtail!" Chomper added joyfully "Littlefoot won, while Longtail was second!"

"Yes. I was third, but I will do better next time" Claw spoke, then something came to his mind "Then again, my imaginary friend was fourth, so I wasn't a worst runner in that race" he said, grinning.

"You have an imaginary friend? How does he look like?" Chomper inquired.

"I've just made him up, so I don't know how he looks like yet" fastbiter said, then he turned to Chronicler "I see that you've finished working on that thing."  he pointed at tool Chronicler made.

Chronicler stood up and picked up the tool he had made for Claw. "Yes, I actually finished it a while ago. Yes, I was able to find some bamboo on my own, but I'm still going to keep my end of the deal. I told you I was going to make a tool that would allow you to catch water swimmers more easily so, basically, I tried to make this like a harpoon of some kind. As you can see, not only is one end of this pole sharpened to a point, but there's also a little hook on the side of that point so that if you catch something it won't slip off, and I'm sure you know by now how slippery those water swimmers can be." He then handed the tool to Claw. "Now, this is only a first attempt, so don't expect it to be like the ideal solution. If it breaks or something else goes wrong, just let me know and I'll try to fix it for you."

"Thank you, Chronicler. It will surely help a lot with catching water swimmers." Claw said with honest gratitude, trying harpoon out. It might work as improvised weapon, if he would need to defend himself. He put it away, as he didn't need to use it now, and turned to Ruby.

"There are many things I dont know about this place and I would like to learn more about it. Could you help me with that, Ruby?" he asked fastrunner politely. Maybe she knew the cure for sickness caused by eating black poisonous fruit. Hopefully...

"Of course I can help you," replied Ruby. "I was able to help Chronicler learn about this place when he first came here, so I'm sure I can help you learn about this place."

"I have to admit, the help you gave me back then allowed me to at least tolerate being here," commented Chronicler to Ruby. "When I said that you're an expert at helping others solve their problems, I really meant it."

Ruby almost blushed from hearing such praise from Chronicler. "Thank you, Chronicler." She turned back to Claw. "Anyway, what do you want me to teach you so that I can teach you about it?"
