• 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 rolled his eyes. “Hey, if it goes into your paycheck, it’s staying in our group. That's pragmatic. Even if it ends up going towards treating lizards… That’s Nolan, right? Met him, but, eh, you remember how that went.” It’d been right after they’d raided Terminal Two and freed Sage, so...

    “Can’t help myself,” Gladion said, despite trying to look as unworried as possible. “I mean, I hardly think it’s likely you’re gonna end up in a violent fugue…” (Careful phrasing, implying he’d discarded the chance of it happening without expressly saying he had. By now, Articuno would know him...

    Gladion grinned. Though it did look a little bit forced, like he was also thinking about something else. (About what he’d seen in Articuno’s eyes, what he’d heard in their voice.) “Hell yeah. I’d say I wouldn’t miss it for the world, but y’know if it comes to that stability-wise I guess I...

    Sure sounded like Articuno had some radiant lilt to their voice still. (Reminded him of the way Laura would talk sometimes.) They had it under control, right? They were behaving reasonably, at least. “Gotta break the rules sometimes! I approve wholeheartedly. Obviously gotta keep an eye out and...

    Gladion winced as Andre and Ben bounced off one another in the worst possible way. Letting those two come here together was a mistake. (As was generally allowing them near each other, probably, but that was none of his business.) Articuno must have figured it out during the fight they'd had upon...

    Gladion eyeballed the hot cocoa and took in Articuno’s explanation for it with curiosity. “Ohh, is that why I’m like that?” he muttered in stage whisper, rather willing to incorrectly attribute his affinity for sweetness to a quirk of his biology. Gladion took a seat. There was once a time...

    Gladion winced. "Well, the excursion went well. Found Auriga. I didn't learn anything from it that Leaf didn't mention." Except, well, there was that one thing... ...which didn't really count. It was demonstrably false. Gladius had plenty more to answer for than what she'd suggested he was...

    Threadmarks: [Ch09] Gladion and Odette

    Gladion usually only came to the Sun Stone on Wayfarer business. He wasn't really sure if this counted as an exception. After all, he was here to see Odette. He'd probably owed her some acknowledgement that her idea of getting involved in the Coven had worked pretty well for a while now...

    Threadmarks: [Ch09] Two Halves of an Equation (Gladion and Lillie solo)

    Once she’d bid Gladius goodbye, once she’d promised that she’d see him again soon even though she couldn’t live anywhere like Aether, and once she’d made contact with Gladion and agreed to speak to him, once they’d established a waypoint and made their way back to Frontier Town, Lillian prepared...

    This is Lillian Mohn. Can you read me? I think there should be a Gladion Mohn connected to this, right? Over. Lillie? Holy shit. I was, uhh, not expecting you. Where are you? Lillian. I’m in Modareno with Blue, Twig, Odette, Guzma, and Gladius. Only one of those I know is Odette. Shit, that’s...

    Lillian scratched the back of her head. The guards made this sound like a formality, like they were literally bound to ask even though they either didn’t care or already knew the answer would be no. “Uhh, nope! No idea what you’re talking about.”

    Lillian sensed no particular hostile intent from the border guards. Plus, hey, didn't Esperanza tell them that the border guards at this time would be in on it and want to see the baron fall? If that was true, then they should be on the same side. That theory was dangerous to overtly confirm for...

    Tenacinde Modareno

    Lillian was less nervous than usual participating in smalltalk on account of the way she felt like Isabella was probably in the same boat as her. She was also willing to indirectly indicate that she got it, even if she didn't want to talk about her own past in such detail as to reveal that she...

    “That’s the spirit!” Did… did Isabella know Odette’s name? They weren’t introduced yet, right? Lillian sure hoped that was a coincidence. Whatever. It was just for a little while. She cleared her throat very deliberately and let her voice slip into a colder, smoother tone. “I mean, ‘course you...

    Lillian was worried for a moment about Isabella, that Odette was being too harsh and was going to make things worse. That wasn’t how she would want to be treated while feeling anxious, after all. But that didn’t seem to be Isabella’s reaction. If there was a way to disable her emotion sense...
