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

"this squirrel, Mr. Stripetail," Sheegwa explained.

"He could tell you more about it," Dongwa said.

............................

"Think anyone in these parts would go good in a snack?" Rabbit smirked to Fox, handing out fliers.

"It's peaceful in this village," Annabelle noted.

"The second floor, and all of the teams in one hotel.  And we don't have to walk to far up the stairs either. " Wally said, waiting his turn to sign in.

"That second floor, that sounds good.  It should give us some views of the village from there." Gary said as he also waited his turn to sign in.

Droopy headed towards the hotel were the teams were supposed to be staying.

Lt. Martin smirked as she realized that Gilda was nowhere to be seen.

"This race is mine!" she crowed as she sped towards the finish line.

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

"You go Eltee!" Captain Fairchild shouted.

"You're congratulating her after she shot at her fellow competitor?" Major Lockie asked with a look of disgust on his face

"Hey, Gilda tried to force her into a building, which could have had serious consequences!" Captain Fairchild countered.

"I do wonder if they sell Mushu mouse to cats," Kitty commented.

"And it's not so dusty here," Tiger grinned happily.

"Why not go on a tour of the areas around here.  Not everyday you can get to go to China." Gary said.

"True.  let's go." wally said as they started to walk out of their room to go on a tour of the area near the hotel.

And that was when Gilda shot out of the clouds a few inches in front of Lt. Martin, almost hitting her in the process as she just grinned as "Think again" was all she had said as she halted briefly, landing on top of Lt. Martin before launching herself off, heading straight for the finish line herself, managing to be the first to cross it by a nose.

She grinned again at her victory "And as usual, I win.  Just goes to show you that I'm better than you" she spoke, pointing a claw at Lt. Martin, ignoring the fact that Rainbow Dash had still be knocked out of the race, thanks to herself.

Lt. Martin nearly crashed thanks to the drop in altitude and shock of Gilda jumping off her airframe. She recovered and landed next to Gilda.

Lt. Martin rolled her eyes. "But I can carry 17,000 pounds of weapons and I know how to use them. And besides, you f---ing cheated!"
 
Captain Fairchild and Major Lockie expressed their disapproval for Gilda's tactics by loudly booing.

The living A-10 made his displeasure further known by firing a flare from a wing mounted launcher over Gilda's head.

"Cheated?" Gilda shook her head "There was nothing in the rules about no cheating, it was just a simple race, and with the lack of mentioning that rule, I took advantage" she added in with a bit of a smirk to boot as well "So as far as I'm concerned, I still won this race" she added in more sternly.

The village was a small but pretty plesent place. There were walls all around, where the alley cats liked to stand on.

A river flew gently next to the village, and vendors would come out with various stands to sell goods. A special pagoda was in the center of the village where the reader gave off the Magistrate's new rules.

Droopy called Jason.  

"I'm done with my investigations here & found nothing out.  This is the first time this has happened in my experience." Droopy said into his cell phone.

"That's to bad.  Maybe some of the folks there are prejudiced.  I'll call someone I know who's of animated Chinese american decent who's a police detective who's kids do some investigation of their own.  That should get any prejudiced animated Chinese to open up to them.  I'll call you right back." Jason said before breaking the connection.

Jason called Droopy back and had him meet him in front of a hotel.  Once there Droopy waited and heard an unusual sound & an extra tree appeared.   Jason stepped out from behind the tree with an adult human of Chinese decent.  

"This is Mr Charlie Chan, he's agreed to help you on your case." Jason said.  "Along with his family as well."

"We are most honored to meet you." Charlie Chan said.  He then went to introduce his wife and each of his kids to Droopy.  

"I'm happy to meet each of you as well.  It'll be a pleasure having some help on this."Droopy said.

"Think of them as sort of like Sherlock Holmes' Baker Street Irregulars.  Kids and teens can find out some things adults never could." Jason said.  Then to Charlie Chan, "I've already called ahead and made the arrangements.  All your expenses are prepaid.  If you need me or when you want a lift back feel free to call." He said to Charlie and Droopy then he waved and went back to his tardis and left.  Charlie Chan and his family, with their luggage, went into the hotel to sign in.

Droopy watched them for a bit, a bit amazed by how many kids Charlie Chan had.

"So, what is the first event for this place, anyways?" Tiger asked Stripetail.

Miss Kitty was walking through the village, looking for a "Mushu Mouse Munchie."

The Chans having checked in carried their luggage up to their rooms then most scattered.  Charlie Chan went to the local police to see if they had any information to help Droopy's investigation, while his kids went in groups of 2 to look for groups of kids or places where kids their age would hang out to hang out and work on seeing if they could overhear anything or casually work in a question into the conversation.  Even the younger ones, though being kids, with Charlie Chan as a dad one even at the young ages some were were able to pick up on certain ways to go about helping with an investigation & how to ask questions and when not to & just observe.

--------
With nothing else to do Droopy went to see how the rest of his team was doing, and the list of events and other information he could get.

Wally & Gary decided to walk around and see what the town they were in looked like and do a bit of site seeing of things near to the hotel.
