• 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?

    Threadmarks: [Ch08] Mother Knows Best (solo)

    [[...shortly before heading to Alexandria and beyond...]] You're supposed to be resting. Leaf ignored the hissing in the back of her mind and continued her run, galloping down the highway in the chill evening air. Or, well. It would've been really cool and stoic if she had ignored it...

    It was really nice, actually, for a couple minutes there. Amida was alive and curious and joking, which was miles better than the light-drowned dream she'd been stuck in before. Easy for Leaf to focus everything on the celebration, or what to do next, or cleaning up what was left of the Coven...

    Sunward Atop Sunrest Mesa

    The robot volcarona—Amida—beeped, blinked, moved. Working. Alive. "I'm glad you're okay," Leaf said. Still a little choked up, but not out of frustration this time. "Where do you want to go? Wherever you think it'd be easiest for you to catch your breath." Except not that, because robot, but...

    "You know what? You're right!" Leaf laughed bitterly, but she couldn't look Odette in the eye any longer. "I'm sure I have no fucking idea what it's like for other people to try and dig their claws into every single part of my life without caring what I want or even bothering to explain why I...

    "If what we've been doing and saying here matters to you at all, then stop yelling at us." Leaf glared at Archie and Odette, her voice strained and cold. "Respect Amida like the person she is and explain to her why she shouldn't do it. Give her the information she needs to decide what's more...

    Sunward Atop Sunrest Mesa

    Leaf had never really bothered practicing telepathy before. Talking to and through Beetle, sure, but that was their thing, nothing to do with her being psychic now because unicorn. The telekinesis had been more useful (and cooler) so far. But now she was supposed to, what, somehow find one guy...

    Okay. Okay, she wanted to live stay, and maybe there was a way to fix this, okay, okay— —and then shouting. Leaf winced as the shadowy reverb hit her, ears back against her head with discomfort she hated shouting she hated it so much. And anger. "What about what Amida wants?" she snapped back...

    Sunward Atop Sunrest Mesa

    Everything shifted and then went solid, from standing to weightless to heavy as the last of the dungeon fell apart. They were still on the mesa but back on the mesa, now, the phantom equipment and scattering Coven techs Leaf had gleefully imagined herself crashing through suddenly very real and...

    Sunward Sun's Rest Mystery Dungeon

    But not as much. "Almost there, Amida. You're almost back home." Leaf glanced at the portal again, then turned away. Didn't matter now; the whole place was coming down around their ears. She charged, allowed herself a couple seconds' satisfaction imagining that she was smashing through the...

    Over the network: [How's it going out there? I don't think we can keep Amida in here much longer. She might be okay now? Maybe??? But you've gotta be ready in case she's not...]

    Sunward Sun's Rest Mystery Dungeon

    Everything around them was swimming, and Leaf might've been willing to pass it off as heat haze but at this point the whole mesa might well've been melting for real. They had to hold on just a little longer. (Could they hold on much longer?) Even through the heat and blinding light, there...

    Sunward Sun's Rest Mystery Dungeon

    The sky went white. The shade went white. It felt like the air above them was boiling, and even if she'd avoided being boiled herself Leaf could still feel the heat and light rising, rising, rising. She forced the sudden swooping of teleportation out of her mind and focused on attacking. Aim...

    Sunward Sun's Rest Mystery Dungeon

    Well, at least staring into this sun hadn't totally blinded her. Only almost. It was all Leaf could do to shake the searing white afterimages from her vision as she dropped back to the mesa, made harder by the voice (?) that carried from nowhere and everywhere. (Was that really so bad, though...

    Sunward Sun's Rest Mystery Dungeon

    They were too late. The Coven grunts had already awoken Amida. Which also, apparently, meant it was too late for them. Leaf made a valiant effort to avoid trampling the shiny suits currently flat out on the stone, where "valiant effort" meant vaguely kind of remembering to move around them and...

    Sunward Atop Sunrest Mesa

    Leaf had already disappeared into the portal, but her thoughts carried briefly across Betel's network: [Guys? There's something in that crate with the door. Two orange lights. Didn't have time to make out more than that. But I don't think you'd put a see-through door on a crate unless you...
