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

"Eh, I should always do it the classic method," Belladonna smiled, opening a small hole to Hell in her room's floor.

A few minutes later, she came back, a small splash of blood of a tortured soul's victim on her cheek. "So fun.." she sighed happily.

'Yes we really should send them something.. just to let them know that we haven't forgotten about them..' Dixie added " she then tapped her ring and Spoke into it " tigeress? are you there, its me Dixie" after a few minutes her ring glowed purple " Dixie!' Tigeress voice came through clearly " So nice to hear from you.. Tiger and I have been visiting my parents.. and er.. well  theres not much to do other than wait for the baby..  I'm not feeling up to much these days, so I'm glad you contacted us.. "

_ fibne fine.." Tiger Grumbled before her voice came in on the ring " Hello Dixie, its been awhile

" Yeah, I'm only been reminded of that about a hundred times since we stopped by to visit her folks. they're nice and all, but i've been itching to move on.. but Holly says we shouldn't do much travelling with Tigeress in this condition.. its going to be a girl, by the way..

As Annabelle snoozed, Belladonna listened to the radio while waiting for her food.

Soon, there was a knock on her room's door.

"Ah, there it is," she grinned.

"Just to be sure," Belladonna shrugged to herself after the clerk left, she blew some fire onto her food and heated it up even further.

"Just like home," she said as she took a bite.

~~~~~~

Meanwhile, at the hotel Scooby's team was staying at, a massive owl flew into the front door. It was the Grand Duke of Owls.

"A room yes," The Duke nodded, "But only the finest and highest quality room for me, the Duke of Owls," the creature of the night said to the clerk.

~~~~~~~~

Elsewhere Annabelle had woken up. "Hey, you ordered food without me?" she asked Belladonna. Her cousin nodded yes. "Can I have some?

"Fine..." Belladonna sighed.

Gary and Wally continued eating the pizza, leaving a third for Droopy once he got off the phone.  

"Great stuff.  I didn't know there was a pizza cat's pizza here." Wally said.

"There isn't.  They are in Little Tokyo.  But I did a minor favor for them so they don't mind having Speedy deliver to where ever I am, now and then." He said.

"That will have to do," the Duke said, a little disaappointed.

"I would also like meat to be delivered to my room for dinner, and if all possible, could you have still alive when it's delivered?" the owl chuckled.

"I'll take the pork," The Duke decided on. "To make up for that pig I didn't get to eat because of that blasted rooster and kitten..."

Spekaing of cats, two house cats, Tiger and Miss Kitty had entered the hotel. They were also planning on joining the games. "Nice little place," Miss Kitty smiled, "I'm not one for the fanciest stuff, I like things simple."

"Roasted in an oven," the Duke said, "As a matter of fact, I can offer my services, I am a talented cook back at my lair," the mighty owl explained.

"We're form the town of Green River," Tiger panted, out of breath from the run. "I"m Tiger."

"And I'm Miss Kitty," the female feline introduced.

"No, I think we have enough dough," Miss Kitty smiled,

"And by the way, does your chef serve mice? Tiger likes broccoli, but I like mice personally."

The Grand duke made his offer about helping in the kitchen again.
