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

Gabriel retreated below decks when she had received word that the newest creation was ready: dehydrated water. It took the form of shimmering blue pellets that when dampened with any liquid (even non-water-based ones) instantly produced a gallon of water - per BB sized pellet.

And they had just managed to produce enough pellets to fill a 55 gallon drum. Twice.

Gabriel smirked as the pellets were carefully scooped into the steel drum. She figured flooding the whole Ganges would ruin the mood of the games.

The Duke made short work of both the cake and fish and let out a huge belch that caused the trio to be thrown to the ground,' Superb! The Duke boomed happily ' Well done ladies! I must have more! Lots more! " He chuckled " sorry to disappoint you girls, but it will take more than 1 lip-smacking meal to buy your way to freedom1 Not even 100 such meals will do! 500? maybe. 1000 sure. But every meal must be delicious, absolutely no clunkers! If I want bad food I can get it from anywhere!"
_
 Ah Ok " Dixie said ' 1000 meals, thats um, 333 days worth of food.. thats 11 months worth. 'Longer, it depends how BIG the meals i want is" The Duke said with a laugh.. " but i will give you a reward for the first morsel. Tonight yiou will be allowed to see outside my gut at the outside world. as i see it. ' Can I seee Oliver? Please? I cant STAND being away from him for a year! arlene pleaded " i miss my son!' And my Scooby! Dixie said. Girls girls Girls! The Duke said " its your fault for being in my snacking sight! Th Duke said" did none of you read the prey contract as you went down?
-
 What contract? Dixie said " You didnt read it? typical... look the rules are this. I test everyone I eat.  If you can provide a use for me, you wont get digested. However, if you cant , you get digested but not before i scare you witless, by playing on your imprisonment and worst fears .  Most of my victims cant provide me with anything of note, so they get scared, and sent down below, usually within a few hours. i started the usyal procedure with you, but..But you three hsve proven that your skills fit a need of mine- to be fed scrumptious meals. My servants , sadly, are not very good cooks. And well  eating Hutchs food should be classed as a form of torture. So starting tomorrow. 3 full courses of meals . i will give you the lists of foods and sizes of portions  i want. Just for the record, I dont eat small meals.' the duke chuckled. now.. you may go back to your room. at 10 pm, Arlene will get an hour to see your boy. after that kitty will get an hour, and dixie an hour.unfortunately, i can only grant you enough to see them, not talk to  them.. For now, you have each other's company.. that will have to suffice. just be gklad you;re not stuck with hutch as a cellmate.

"We'll take that as a positive," Kitty said, looking at the girls. "At this point even if it takes a while our only way out of here is doing what he says. He has power over us, not the other way around, let's just give him the meals he wants and do the best job possible to save our fur." The Green River singer cat focused on that.

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

Oliver was given headphones to listen to music. "Nice beat," he smiled. He swayed his cute little head back and forth to the rhythm.

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

Sawyer was now forced to sit on Louie's lap as Berri returned with his slippers. "What is going on now?" the feline asked.

"That sounds like a great idea," Kiara said, walking into the cave. "A chance to show the beauty of our land to the entire world, all the sights, and sounds and diverse creatures...." She saw Kovu sitting on the lionesses who willingly were his makeshift throne. "Comfy?" she smiled.

The lionesses of the pride, while they obeyed both kings without complaint, were split into two categories, "Kopa Loyalists" and "Kovu Loyalists" Each had a different perspective on the kingship.

..........

"Our king is a great guy," the monkeys said, "Every month lots of people and animals get lots of money and necessities in donations."

The Kovu loyalists, called Gut Girls after Kovu's propensity for eating,  thought Kovu was the better king, largely because Scar had left the Pridelands wealthy when Simba took over.  while Simba had built on this wealth, the   Kovu loyalists teased the Kopa loyalist ' as easy takers, and ones who preferred thick skulls over thick hides. Kopa's loyalists, called Chest Cats, after Kopa's well defined muscles, thought Kopa was the proper king. as his lineage stretched back further. they called the Kovu loyalist as housewives
 All this teasing was, of course only in good fun,.
 We're competing against Madagascar. Egypt, and South Africa " Vitani said.

"Well, Kovu here just needs to put in a  good word for us," Kiara said with confidence, "After all my love, you have that natural charm about you that makes it impossible to say no to you." She nuzzled Kovu's mane, climbing a bit onto the throne of lionesses.

"Plus King Kovu has the genius of Scar," one of his loyalists purred happily. She loved the feeling of Kovu relaxing on top on them.

i did drain the watering hole by having the elephants do belly flops into it ' KOvu said. his brain,  was a big turnon for his girl who loved a well spoken lion.
 From what I've read Kovu. this wizard running the games doesnt care for schmoozers." Vitani said " we need to show him why we're best suited , plunking down 50000 isbnt going to guarantee anything, it just gets us in the front door. We'll need , like a sonmg and dance number, have timon and pumba do tricks. you know, stuff that can impress an incredibly powerful mage.. they dont impress easily..

"A song and dance number, we can do that," Kiara suggested, as Kion slept peacefully in the den, her and Kopa's little brother was still really young.

"But if its something other nominees do," a Kopa loyalist said, "How can we make it stand out? I'm sure whoever determines these probably gets sick of the same thing over and over again....."

"I got it," one of Kovu's loyalists said, whispering her idea to the brown furred, black maned king.

"What's the idea?" Kiara smiled.

remember the story about the guy who finds a genies abnd has all his wishes come true. we could say the kings do that for us " the lioness said ' onwee of the kings will play the powerful genie, and the other will play the boy throwing favorsds and cabdy all over the place, as we sing about how great the guy is.."
 I like It! I like It! Kovu said kissing the lioness smack on the lips, drawing a murmur from her, and a swoon from the other girls.." mushi, you are a genius' vitani beemed" so we'l;l have kovu  playing the trinket throwing guy on an show off stroll, and kopa will do the commentating as the genie We'll have to come up with lyrics of course.. and we'll see when we can get the wizard to come upand visit..

"It's only natural," another Kovu loyalist smiled, "That Kovu is presented as the beloved one," she nuzzled against Kovu's mighty gut, liking the soft yet strong feeling it provided.

"That'll be something new," nodded Kiara, "I'm sure the host of this will have never seen something like that before."

"We'd need the help of some other animals," Nuka suggested.

"Spaghetti with meatballs, I have a thing for Italian food," Kitty said, "Plus I could use it after today, with all the cooking we've done." She plopped herself onto the bed. "The Duke drives a hard bargain."

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

"Should we wake Kion up?" Kiara asked her brother, "See if he wants to help us with our idea?" Kion was dreaming peacefully on the floor.

"Let me get that," Nuka said. Kovu's older brother had been granted the title of Pride Lands Secretary, and was in charge of finding important documents. Kovu wanted to be sure his brother had some position in the Pride Lands.

Kiara looked down at Nuka's back legs. "Glad those finally healed up," she sincerely told her brother-in-law.

"Yeah, I'm surprised he turned up alive after that log fall," a Kovu loyalist said.

Mushi spoke up again " we'll go get the mystics and zazu and tell them. 'mushi was what the ko-kings called a shared girl, in which she spent time with both males ' she was also one of Vitani's favorites, as she was one of the prides best hunters and Vitani  always made sure she accompanied her on hunts, her 'leg nip' was invariably fatal to prey..
_
 Nuteri and Rafiki are very skilled healers Kopa said in reply.'Nuka has done a job as a secretary..

"And I'm proud of him," Vitani said, "I always teased him growing up but I always loved him too, and I'm glad he was able to find something he was good at."

"So Kovu," Ruka, a Kovu loyalist asked, "We should get some of the other animals to agree to the song. For example, you could be riding on an elephant."

"Add a mouse to it, and sure," Kitty said at the thought of desert. She liked all her meals to involve beef in someway, like any true carnivore.

...........

Kiara, Kovu, and some of Kovu's lionesses went out into the Savannah to ask some of the animals to help with their proposed song spectacle.

"You won't have to sing if you feel you're not good at it," Kiara assured. "Kopa's handling the main vocals."

"It's a song all about our great King Kovu," Ruka smiled.
