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

Follow me..  now I will give you one chance at deciding how you will have the arrangements. Either the two of you will stay together or you will sleep according to gender so Ri will be with the lionesses and Ko with the lions. " So make your choice, but know that once you make it, you cannot change it.' Vitani said..

"What do you say, Ko?" Ri asked her older brother. She would respect whatever option he would go with.

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

Tora rolled around, with Koneko still in his layers of fat. "This trip will be nice," the cat blob smiled.

I'll stay with my sister.. " Ko said ' Ah the bonds of family.. gag me with a spoon " Vitani rooled her eyes as she opened a door with a gesture.. " She pointed to a pair of cots in the far end of the room. ' those will be yours..

"Could be worse," Ri thought to herself, as she and Ko went over. "At least we'll get to know other spirits."

Why are you so mean to us? Ko asked " As I said before Ko I'm not allowed to have friends, even if I asked my mother, she'd still say no..

"How come?" Ri asked, feeling a little sorry for Vitani

Because my mother feels that friendships are not nearly as important as doing a job, and doing it well. shes drilled into us all sorts of rules over the years.. while i may look like i'm about your age Ko, in reality my siblings and I have been here for centuries, I guess you could call us immortal if you wanted, it wouldn't make much difference to me..' Vitani said giving both of them a looking over.. ' And don't ask my mother if we can be friends, unless you want to join your folks in the pig pen  faster  than you can blink.. You guys did a good job today with the river spirit, don't blow it by asking for something that's never gong to happen in a million years. We'll be here long after either you've freed your parents and returned home, or,   much more likely, you screw up and get served with the evening bath to some spirit.. now get to bed.. both of you.. i'll be up in the morning to get you back to work on those singles.. vitani said stepping out of the room and closing it behind her..

"Wow...." Ri sighed, as the room got much more dark, "I kinda feel sorry for her.....but I guess, like she said, we can't really do anything about it."

"I don't wanna end up in some spirit's belly."

Everyone needs friends, sis" Ko replied " Imagine if dad had never run into Timon and Pummba? Neither of us would have been born. those lions- Nuka Vitani and Kovu- they've been by themselves for a very very long time, i guess they are just used to it being that way.. but it doesn't mean it always has to be that way.. all we can do is be nice to them as much as possible, and hope they will be allowed to be nice in return. in the meantime, we just do whatever they ask us, no matter how hard or humiliating the work is, because we can't refuse anything if we hope to save mom and dad, now pick out which bed you want, and i'll see you in the morning ' ko said.

Ri smiled, climbing onto the top one. "Night," she yawned, her maw opening wide, a little roar accompanied it, but nothing loud.

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

"We got more workers," Kovu smiled to his mother, "And that'll brings us even more business!"

Night sis" Ko said climbing into the other bed and wrapping the blanet around him as he soon feel asleep..

 Yes those workers did a good job today, we earned a LOT of money from the river spirit. just remember the rules kovu, you are a member of my family, and above anyone you work with. that means no friendships with the hired help.. those two lions will likely be spirit sushi before long anyway..so it won't be a big loss.." zira said.

"Of course," Kovu bowed respectfully to his mother. Kovu really was the most good natured of his siblings, but he still followed rules.

"Also," he said, pulling out a clipboard, "I asked all the spirits about what they wanted for the grand feast, they said "little brats". what does that mean?"

"But how can we get to these people?" Nuka asked, "And how can we get them all in the kitchen?"

"I'll get Mr. Wildcat to set up the biggest soup pot he has," Kovu smiled.

Thats up to you two, I don't care how you do it, stuff them in bags, chop them into bits and pieces,  cast spells on them..just get going on it" Zira replied..
- yes mother nuka said.. as he headed out of the room... zira paused and opened a drawer and gazed at a small crystal ball in the ball she could see an image to two sleeping lions.. zira paused and began stroking her chin, and smile growing across her face
dekishi paused as the train stopped at another stop to allow more passengers to get on
 they were at the 4th stop, hates house was at stop 6..

"I hope Hate prepared a lot of food," Tora grinned, "I'm hungry."

"Aren't you always?" Koneko laughed.

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

Ri and Ko had no idea what Zira was planning.

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

"So how should we do this guys?" Kovu asked his older siblings.

Kovu frowned, "I do what mother and father want because they know what's best," he said to his big brother.

He then pulled out a spell book, looking for something that could help them in their......"grocery shopping."

You can do what they tell you without being a tailchaser' nuka replied ' Will both of you just shut up! Vitani interjected " lets get the job done and them you two can resume your arguing on why Kovu's a brownnoser and Why Nuka here is never going to get mom or dads respect in the measure he thinks he deserves..frankly i don't care what junk you guys call yourselves, we are not going to let it distract from the mission.. getting as many  mortal kids as possible..
