• 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 nodded. "You're welcome. I'm glad I could... be the voice of reason, for once in my life." Ben let out a breath of relief. "Well, I'm glad to hear that. And if you ever need to talk, then you can... call the Wayfarers and ask for Ben. That's me."

    Intentions of helping, of doing right, of bringing about justice. Acts of harm, with disastrous results. "I think I know how you feel," Andre said. "I also had a goal, a goal I thought wonderful, and I worked towards it through hurting others. It was only when it was shown to me that my...

    Andre's snout wrinkled. Follicle? Andre extended a vine and gently placed it in one of Cherry's hands for her to grab. As for her words, they did bring to mind some thought experiments Andre had pondered in his teens. If all suffering was eliminated, would evil cease to be as well? If so...

    Andre hummed quietly. He figured that doctor's goal must have been the same as that of the CDE's, or maybe more broadly that of the Covenant, but it would be better to ask. "What kind of goal was it? Do you remember anything about it?" "I think you just gotta be you," Ben said. "That's all...

    "My name is Andre, and I'm one of the Wayfarers," Andre introduced himself. "I'm gonna help you. But first, can you tell me exactly what happened when you lost your sight? What you were thinking of at the time, maybe? It could be important." Ben scratched his cheek. "Well... they have lived...

    Andre nodded. He began looking for the next batch of Blacklight-riddled mon... Andre recognized two of the mon in the meeting hall - well, one directly and another indirectly. Julius Andre had met in the flesh, but the medicham he only knew through Bellatrix pretending to be her when the...

    "I... sure?" Ben replied, though his delivery was anything but. "He was always... encouraging. He let me rest when I was injured." Up to a point. He would tell him to get back on the field towards the end and push through the pain. But he just wanted Ben to be a star, didn't he? He wanted Ben...

    It sounded like the Blacklight had left. Andre breathed a sigh of relief. "Glad to hear it," he said. "Do you need a minute, or could you help me help the others?" "Have you talked to your boss about this?" Ben asked. "If you're having difficulties with your job, I'm sure they'd want to know...

    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...
