• 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?

    Gladion's shadows seethed beneath his skin when he heard that word. "A good person. A better person, if you weren't. Loyalty's just ripping out your own brain and replacing it with subservience. People like Arthur and some like your Gramps have loyal folks, too. It's not a virtue." (One of...

    Lillian took a moment to catch her breath after being abruptly dropped. Not that Gladius had be choking her before, he hadn’t, but she still really needed one. While she did so, she fired a quick thought in Blue's direction. Whether over Betel or her own telepathy, the difference was unclear and...

    Gladion ducked out of the way of the incoming body press. A softball. She really didn't want to fight, which maybe shouldn't have been a surprise, but given the amount of corruption going on everywhere it was still kind of remarkable. "Sam, listen, I'd love nothing more than to thrash Arthur's...

    Lillian grabbed her sword and sheathed it quickly before chasing after the new illusion. She knew it wasn't his real body, but something about the imagery of him plunging a blade into his own chest didn't leave her feeling great about his mental state. (Although it wasn't as if anything before...

    Gladion closed his eyes and tucked in his head as he pushed past the rocks Sam had set in the perimeter of the gardens. For once, his RKS System put up no resistance as he forced his type through it. No sparks or fanfare. "You remember when we met? Back then, I probably would've been content to...

    Lillian’s eyes shot open when Jade called out Gladius’ presence. If Jade hadn’t known that was one of his illusions, she might never have put two and two together on that. She was lucky Jade was there. She’d have to remember to thank her later. It still wasn’t visually obvious whether or not it...

    Lillian kept one hand on the grip of her sword and squeezed her eyes shut. The ambient fear and confusion was pounding against her skull as if it was fluid pressure trying to equalize. It was hard to tell where her own anxiety ended and the mass hysteria began was as practical as trying to keep...

    When Arthur arrived, Gladion… hesitated. On one hand, Articuno was clearly out of it. He didn’t know what they were doing, and they were clearly dangerous. On the other hand, if Arthur died here… that was good, right? There was no way in hell he could stop Articuno, but it felt wrong to...

    Gladion laughed with catharsis at the sneer his counterpart's name elicited. It was nice to have someone like-minded after having to deal with his sister's opinions on what sad and tragic softboy he was or whatever shit. He laughed harder at the way Odette grinned her ass off while saying Nolan...

    Lillie was beginning to learn that being able to sense emotions wasn't as useful as she'd initially expected it to be. It didn't tell you why people felt the way that they did. Nor did it tell her what to do with that information, which was the really hard part. "That... sounds hard. But you're...

    "Articuno!" Gladion shouted out over Sam's head, "You said you had this under control!" But there was no point arguing, was there? At least, not by bemoaning that they weren't supposed to be acting like this. From his experience with corruption, Articuno probably felt like they were in control...

    Gladion’d stepped off the sandy sparring pitch once he started to realize that his doppelgänger wasn’t gonna show. He’d stashed Gladius’ dossier somewhere safe before heading into enemy territory. Figured it’d be stupid to bring ‘em all right back to Gladius given he’d clearly not wanted to...

    "Ah, I see..." Navigating Gladius' damaged memory was already difficult. This sounded worse. "I don't mean to pry, you don't have to answer... but have you told her? I don't know what it would do, but..." Giving advice didn't come naturally to Lillie. (It was hard not to think of herself as...

    Lillian tried not to sigh. "Oh... he did. He was really worried about them!" It was part of his crusade to convince her that she wasn't allowed to care about the other version of him, which left her with a strong reflex not to get involved in it. Despite that, his concern wasn't performative...

    “He’ll come around. I think. I hope he will, there’s no good reason he shouldn’t” Well, Gladion. thought he had a good reason not to, at least. She should ask about that, just for certainty. And to pass it onto him. “So, I know— I trust that you wouldn’t have, but I mean, I just have to ask...
