• 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 waved a talon as Leona finished going over the procedural stuff. “Should be no problem, yeah.” It took a moment to sink in. That addition. That… “Wait, rewind for a second there, the fucking what now?” He didn’t wait for an answer before starting to stress about it. “That’s bad, that’s...

    Lillie’s eyes lit up. “Woah, that sounds…” It sounded like he’d stepped off the pages of a fantasy novel and into real life, but she couldn’t say that. This was his reality. He got to live it every day. She was a little jealous, honestly. “…quite noble of you!” She wasn’t getting any sense that...

    Tenacinde Modareno Outskirts

    Thorn of the Black Rose? Lillian... actually quite liked that name. It sounded like it could've been the title of a book she'd read back home. Of course, no matter how he presented himself, there was no way to know whether he was actually some kind of local legend or just some guy trying to make...

    Tenacinde Modareno Outskirts

    The sudden voice made Lillian take a step back and tilt up her head to try to spot whoever had called out to them from beneath her bangs. To no avail: She couldn’t perceive anyone in the direction she thought the sound was coming from. “Um, I’m sorry?” Was it bad to walk like a southerner? She...

    Auranosa Intrepid Town

    Gladion was excited to see Leona, but a moment later a cold dread began to seep in alongside it as he tried to reason out how she could have beaten them here. “Hey, Leona. It’s good to see you. Didn’t know you were headed up here so soon…” He spoke it like a question, running over in his head...

    Auranosa Intrepid Town

    Gladion barked out a dry laugh at how honest she was about it. “No, Gladions are otherwise categorically healthy and well-adjusted humans in every way.” Wait, if she worked with a version of him, she was going to be familiar with the dry humour… right? Probably best to play it safe. “That was...

    Tenacinde Canal Boneyard

    Lillian struggled against the fact that a shovel’s handle being broken down to her size didn’t actually make the blade any smaller. If she actually sunk it all the way into the wet earth, then the contents of the shovel would weigh more than she currently did, and then there would be no moving...

    Auranosa Intrepid Town

    “Yeah, that’s what I was saying…” Gladion turned the new information over in his head. He did believe that the version of him wanted them to cure Sage. Even the evil version of him Nova had mentioned didn’t have a history of callous and intentional disregard for the well-being of Nulls. But...

    Auranosa Walled Gardens

    Gladion recoiled. Sada asked it so casually, like the question carried no weight. To her, it probably didn't. She didn't seem to find Neo too objectionable, given she'd worked with the CDE. He didn't feel the same way about it, though. "What? No way!" He sputtered out those first few words...

    Tenacinde Canal Boneyard

    Lillian turned around and stared at Blue, shocked. “You— No, I’m still speaking Alolan. And… it sounds like you are, too? Something’s translating us.” Was it her, somehow? Had she tapped some weird psychic power? She’d heard that Gardevoir with human hosts gained the capacity to communicate...

    Auranosa Walled Gardens

    A foul grimace crossed Gladion’s face. That was it, then? Everything that had happened to Leona, it was all… just a chance to calibrate a machine to them. “And then Neo, what, sold her to Cipher alongside Sage for use in shadow experimentation?” And Neo… Neo was, Matthias had confirmed it...

    Tenacinde Canal Boneyard

    Lillian grimaced. She didn’t really know anything about dungeon spirits, but they sounded bad, and she was pretty sure she understood everything else well enough to dislike the way things were headed one way or another. “Wait, is this some kind of burial site? Why would someone have been...

    "Oh, it's a promise I made to a friend of mine. She's looking for Auriga, so that she can get home. Got missummoned by..." (Huh, actually, given the faction Sada had worked for she might actually know this already.) "Wait, the name Leona Lycas mean anything to you? Got missummoned when Cipher...

    Oh. That answer was... Weird? Sad? Deeply weird in a profoundly sad way. Lillian generally considered herself pretty (involuntarily) good at being weird and sad, but he was blowing her out of the water right now. Going around wearing his absent (dead?) partner's visage as a way to remember her...

    Auranosa Walled Gardens

    Gladion's eyes lit up. "We're in Auranosa?" That temple place had to be somewhere around here. The place Auriga had told him to find her, the place they needed to take Leona. He had to find it. He'd promised her that he'd help, if he could. (Actually, he wasn’t sure if he’d said that aloud or...
