• 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?

    Actually... yeah. Asking Ben what he should do with himself seemed like the moral thing to do. He was the one he had hurt most on Forlas. Andre almost lost his footing, but managed to stabilize himself. He smiled awkwardly. "Yes, a guide would be appreciated. I'm no good at finding my way." He...

    Andre froze, his pulse accelerating. Had what he feared would happen just happened? Had this stranger decided his crimes were too severe for him to keep living a minute longer, and only now revealed it? He didn't want to die, though, for two reasons - he hadn't fulfilled his mission yet and...

    Andre sighed. "Is there? Because I'm no fighter, and I can't trust myself to do any speaking when I know now that I'm... some kind of psychopath. What if I lapse again? At a critical moment?" He shook his head. "It's better to just remove myself from the equation."

    "I'm gonna let everyone know what I've done," Andre said. "What I am. And I'm going to tell Ben I'm sorry, not that it'll help him much. After that..." He shrugged. "Come back here, I don't know."

    "I was talking to... another Wayfarer, Laura. I wanted to try and convince her to convince Ben - another Wayfarer, a newly arrived one - that I hadn't killed his trainer like he thought I had. I had, of course. He was... not a good person. In my eyes, at least." Everyone should have seen him...

    "Well..." Well, did he regret what he'd done? He still didn't feel bad for the people whose lives he'd taken. He couldn't muster up any pity for abusers. But all the other people he'd affected... Before, he'd always considered their emotional pain collateral damage. Or really more accurately...

    "Well... yeah. I killed some folks." He cleared his throat. He couldnt give his spiel of 'they deserved it' anymore. How would he explain it now? "I thought it was the right thing to do at the time," he said. "I thought I was... just. But now I think I was just sick in the head." Still am. I...

    Andre took a moment to think. If he was going to 'make things right', it'd surely be best if he was simply honest from now on. But were he to tell the horrid truth, this stranger might take it upon herself to enforce some vigilante justice of her own. And while Andre couldn't fault her for...

    A luxray arrived. Hopefully helpful. Not that I deserve -- no, that kind of thinking was pointless. "Uh..." Andre began. "Both." He sighed. "I had kind of a freakout and wanted to get away from town. Maybe never come back. But I wanna go back now. I have to make things right." Or just see if I...

    Hunger came first. Then thirst. Then fatigue. Then, with the setting of the sun, the chill. As each arrived and strengthened its hold, pitiful thoughts bubbled up in Andre's mind. This is stupid, he thought. This is an overreaction. I don't need to die. Not slowly nor quickly, not that the...

    Threadmarks: Ch09 - Exile (Andre)

    Once Andre had begun to run, he kept going until he'd made it well out of town. Lungs stinging and the ever-growing cold of Shadows under his skin, he finally stopped to catch his breath. He knew he couldn't bear to be near anyone right now. Not when he knew now what he was. What he had been...

    Andre froze. There it was. She'd found the weak spot. The same weak spot Nova had found. Andre hadn't even realized that he'd backslid into his old ways with the arrival of Ben, forgetting all his doubts, so certain of his righteousness again. When all he did was work on his fucking stupid...

    Moron? Just an insult. It didn't affect Andre. Arrogant? Andre had been raised by a rich family with an ego, and it had taken him until puberty to realize there was no pride in inherited wealth. He still caught himself sometimes lapsing into old thought patterns, but he always corrected...

    Frontier Town Nina's Place

    Andre was about to tell Laura that regretting a choice did not equal feeling bad about its consequences, but the cat dismissed his correction even before he'd said it. Whatever. That was a lot. But Laura had it wrong if she thought he'd never considered these things himself. Andre frowned...

    Frontier Town Nina's Place

    Did she think the physical sensation of the slap was what had gotten him so down? She really had a low opinion of him. Andre sighed. Well, this was happening. He was probably going to get an ass-beating from Laura now. And he didn't want to look some kind of pussy backing down from that. And...
