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

Sagwa nodded and went up to Floor 4, where the aforementioned manicurist was. "Sir Red from Hell is requesting a manicure on one of the floor 3 tubs," the kitten explained.

"Beats being a paperboy for the people upstairs," Charlie replied with some distaste in his voice.

"You're from the Celestial Heavens?" Kura asked.

"Did I have an option?  As they say, ALL dogs go to heaven.  Like there's any fun up there..."

----------

"Well, well, well..." the voice behind Shirigume was Rosco, who started to circle around the tub at a distance.  "It's about time someone more attractive shows up in this stinkhole.  Most of the time, we've had either grizzled hags or overweight porkchops.  Now what's a fine vixen like you doing here alone?"

Shirigume simply smirked at the Doberman's remarks.  "By your voice, I'd think you'd be the management here.  But now I see the clothes and the sword...you must be the hired muscle..."

Rosco chuckled.  "So fine...and with a wit, too."

"We don't see many other dogs from the Celestial Heavens," Genta said, the tiger sumo scarfing down his meal, "Though one who comes by often was this pink whippet, I think I caught her name once, it was Anna something...do you know her?"

Genta then placed an order for cooked fish. Yes, he ate a lot, but that was part of his training. "You guys are all invited to attend my matches if you want, I have one in two days.............."

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

"Everything's back up to speed," Baloo smiled as he controlled the boiler.

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

The manicurist, a white Persian cat named Yuki came down to Red's tub. "My assistance was requested?" she asked the Hell cat, who was smirking at her.

Ri gulped at that and resumed eating her food, not wanting to be lazy.

"We should get back to work brother," Ri said to Ko.

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

"anyway I can be of assistance?" Kovu asked Belladonna.

"Yes ma'am" Alan replied as he made his way to the table and preceeded to sign the contract. He presented it to the lioness when he finished.

"So what's a vixen like you doing in a place like this?" Rosco asked coolly.

Shirigume smirked.  "I don't answer questions to lapdogs like you," she replied.  "So should I send a message to your master to yank your astral chain?"

Rosco's demeanor changed to one of darkness, as he straightened up and clutched the handle of his sword.  "You're very lucky you'll be walking away with that remark, for now..."  He turned and disappeared out of sight...

The kitsune rolled her eyes and stood up to step out of the tub for a moment.  Shaking herself partially dry, she pulled on her kimono and decided to visit the kirin next door, who was surprised to see her simply walk in on him.

"Do you do this often?" Kura was annoyed.

"You're the first.  And to be honest, I don't like what I see..."

Kura cocked an eyebrow.

"Those scales are filthy.  You need something more than a soak.  Now how do you call the service here?"

Kura gave an annoyed sigh.

"Hey, Kurago!" Charlie called, obviously hearing the conversation.  "You got a girl in there with you?"

Kura started to blush.  But before he could answer, Shirigume was the one who answered.

"You jealous?"

"What are you doing?!" Kura responded angrily.

"Hey, hey, relax!" Charlie replied.  "One thing I don't want to do is get into couple's quarrels!  Have fun you two!"

Kura threw his hands up in frustration, to which Shirigume stifled a laugh.

"Now, to get you scrubbed..." the kitsune said.

"If anything, I love theater comedies," Genta chuckled, enjoying the scene along with Charlie.

Using the little magic that he had learned, he created 3 tickets, and warped each of them to Charlie, Shirigume, and Kurago.

"Feel free to watch my matches if you wish," the sumo tiger spirit called to his new friends.

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

The manicurist was working on Red's claws. "I can see you've been in need of my services...." she said to the hellcat.

"Kind of hard to do with my blobby paws." Tora admitted, struggling with the needle and thread.

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

Ko and Ri were racing to where their assignment would be given to them. "The workload isn't terrible...." Ri admitted to his brother, "As much as I want out of here."

"I know," Ri nodded, "But chances are, the only way mom and dad can get out is if we get out...."

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

"Any important letters Lady Zira wants us to deliver?" Sagwa and Sheegwa asked Vitani.
