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

"Domo arigato," Kura replied with a bow of his head.

While Shirigume and Kura were preparing tea, Charlie, now filled with growing curiosity, stepped out of his tub, put on a robe, and walked around to meet his "neighbors."  His eyes widened when they fell upon the kirin and the kitsune.  "All my time in coming here, I never really met anyone like you two before."

"Well, it's our first time in meeting a guardian angel like you," Shirigume replied without missing a beat.  "Tea?"

Charlie's head shook out the surprise.  "Uh...no thanks.  I have my saki."

"And I have my fish," Gent smiled, climbing out of his tub with his towel around him.

"I'd like some tea, if you may..."

"Certainly, you can explore," Kovu nodded

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

"We didn't cause this!" Ri assured.

Well don't stand there arguing! Get him under control! Vitani retorted. " My mom should be home soon! You don't want her to come back to a mess!

"We know..." Ri said, beginning to sing a lion lullaby. (Though not Zira's lullaby however.)

the child begn to calm at the sound of Ri's voice, which was soft and soothing. Ko  took advantage of the break to pick up debris and pile it up in the office in the corner. there was quite a lot of it, but that couldn't be helped..
So.. hows my baby?' said a sharp voice behind him. Ko blanched and turnede to see Zira behind him. " Ri's just.. tucking him in right now.. ko said a bit nervous..

"The baby is sleeping peacefully," Ri nodded, her singing having done the trick.

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

"Saki is definitely a favorite," Genta nodded to Charlie.

Shirigume poured cups of tea, one of which Kura picked up and handed to Genta.  Charlie found a seat and sat not far from the kitsune.

Kura turned back to the lion cubs and bowed his head.  "I thank you again for your help and generosity.  Is it often to find lost spirits here?"

"Possibly," Kovu replied, "We're one of the most popular spots for spirits to visit, so often you can find a spirit you may be looking for."

Zira's youngest passed out the remaining treats.

"Tea...always a classic," Genta said.

"We also have rooms that are used like a hotel," Kovu added, "I think my big brother Nuka might have the guest list right now..."

Ri's sleeping helped keep the giant cub sleeping peacefully.

(OOC:  Sorry.  I was sort of waiting for others to write their part before I do mine.)


Kura and Shirigume looked at each as they listened, their spirits perked higher.

"We would like a room for a few nights," Kura replied.

"Maybe TWO rooms," Shirigume responded.

Kura nodded his head in acceptance.  "Yes...at least for until we find the boy."  He reached for the bag of gold on the table next to Shirigume.  "If this could be enough for your satisfaction."

"We just might be able to track him down," Kovu nodded.

(OOC:  One of the cubs has the picture in hand.)

Kura nodded.  "The boy must be taken back home for burial as soon as possible.  Or else he'll be a wandering spirit forever, and easy to be picked off by a demon.  A soul that young is said to be prized."

"Or we can place him with this guardian angel here, and he could ascend to safety even faster," Shirigume suggested.

Charlie's expression changed.  "Hey, hey!  I'm off duty here!  Besides, it's not like I can simply snap my paw pads and put him in heaven."

"Pretty much," Kovu nodded, "From what our head chef tells us, young souls seem to be called the tastiest."

"Yeah," Genta nodded. He hated to admit it, but if he wasn't informed of this beforehand, the tiger sumo spirit likely would've devoured the boy, "But I'll help you guys out."

"Oh, you're an angel?" Kovu asked Charlie, "That hellhound Belladonna is also here too...."

Ri was fascinated by the new world they were stuck in too, though she hoped they wouldn't be here forever.

"I hope the food is good," the little lioness said.
