• Welcome to The Cave of Dragonflies forums, where the smallest bugs live alongside the strongest dragons.

    Guests are not able to post messages or even read certain areas of the forums. Now, that's boring, don't you think? Registration, on the other hand, is simple, completely free of charge, and does not require you to give out any personal information at all. As soon as you register, you can take part in some of the happy fun things at the forums such as posting messages, voting in polls, sending private messages to people and being told that this is where we drink tea and eat cod.

    Of course I'm not forcing you to do anything if you don't want to, but seriously, what have you got to lose? Five seconds of your life?

    Andre really felt out of his depth here. Regardless, he would try. "I don't think it's inevitable," he said. "I couldn't tell you how to go about saving your people, as I'm still a stranger here, but I think there's merit in keeping at it. Whether you'd like to do that by continuing to attempt...

    It looked like Andre had read the situation correctly. A conflict between native heritage and a position in a settler organization. Andre just wished he actually knew more about this topic instead of just what he'd learned in history class and gleaned from online discourse. "Has something put...

    Ben looked back and forth between the three mon. "Do you know any of these people?" Andre hummed. "Well, I've met Aipom Roscoe and Scizor Garnet before, but the decidueye is new to me. I'm guessing that's the Lady Tawenna I've heard about." He narrowed his eyes at the spectral copy and its...

    "I'm just glad you're alright now," Andre said. He looked around. There were plenty of people to help here and the number would surely grow at an exponential rate, but there were presumably still people in other parts of the building. "I'll go check the other rooms," he said. He turned to Ben...

    "I don't think anyone has entirely pure motives," Andre said. "We all want to feel good about ourselves, and part of that is making choices we deem moral. But if we still choose the actions that also benefit others, does it matter how pure our intentions are? We're making the world a better...

    Andre quirked a brow. Well, that was... definitely something, but she seemed to feel guilty about it. "Well, I know what it's like to play pretend," Andre began. "You sure do," Ben muttered. "But surely you've done some good things, too?" Andre continued. "And would that have been pretending...

    Angel the ribombee, a gossip but also an advocate for social causes. Could this outburst be related to some of her ventures? Andre doubted she'd actually done anything bad or that those ventures were relevant now, but it could be useful information in calming her down. He was about to speak...

    Ben hummed again. "Well... as long as you're careful." He looked at the ground, kicking his feet a bit. "Anyway, I... think I feel a little better," he said, which he supposed was true - Lyra believing that Mike was a good guy meant a lot to him, even if her also believing Andre wasn't that bad...

    Once Andre entered the building and saw the utter chaos there, any hope of simply asking everyone to make a line and proceed outside in an orderly fashion vanished. "Ah, fuck," he said. "Uh..." At that moment, Ben entered as well. "Is everyone alright?" he said loudly. "Well... I wouldn't say...

    "Fuck," Andre said. He glanced between Sam, Articuno and the building before deciding to dash for the nearest entrance. "I'll help evacuate the others," he shouted over his shoulder. "Take care of Articuno!" "H-hey! Don't run off like that!" shouted Ben, then looked to the others. "I'll...

    The explosion nearly made Andre jump out of his skin. Damn cervine instincts. He sighed and centered himself. "We'd better go," he said to Ben, then galloped towards the building. He kept looking back to make sure Ben was following, which he could tell from the teddi's expression was annoying...

    To bend reality to one's will. Andre couldn't deny such a power would have called to him in the past, but considering he'd recently come to the conclusion that he shouldn't have power over other people's lives, he'd have deserved godhood even less. Was there actually anyone who could be trusted...

    Ben frowned... The teddiursa hummed uneasily. "I can definitely help the Wayfarers," he said, "and if that would mean helping Andre now and then... if I knew that it was for the good of other people, I think I would have to help him. Not that I really believe he'd actually help people out of...

    Right. Him. Ben sighed. "Thanks. I don't think you can do more to help me than just listen, but just listening is a lot already." Ben was not going to ask Lyra to kill Andre. "And... yeah. It's been pretty insane that Andre was considered... not by Betel, but I suppose some kind of reality...

    Ben froze for a second, not knowing how to act at something this... kind. He didn't notice the tears beginning to well up in his eyes. "He --" Ben's words caught in his throat, and his face twisted in sorrow. A sob escaped him, and he rushed to look away, to wipe his eyes, to grab his arm. He...
