• 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?

    “That’s… I mean, it’s better than the alternative. Would suck more if they did get blood parasites to bind to anyone…” He raised a brow. “Given all that, I’m honestly surprised you’re willing to get back into dealing with sycophants. Guess the two of us run on different wavelengths… Just keep...

    What the hell? Was every world out there worse than his? Did he land in some kind of notably less shit than average world? He’d had plenty of gripes about his but they all felt petty in comparison. He was glad that Gladion had ever gotten his sense of bodily autonomy and identity under control...

    "Definitely haven't heard of them. I guess..." Gladion made a choking noise as his brain caught up to his ears. "Lunala? One of Alola's legends is a fucking ultra beast? And Lillie's just... running around with that. Great. That's just fantastic. And you've got even worse species running around?"

    Gladion raised a talon pensively. "To be clear here, when you say out parents had 'a thing' you mean that in a 'political-economic unit I don't know the exact noun for' way and not a 'does this make us interdimensional step-siblings?' way, right? Because if it's the former I'd really like to...

    “Ah…” Gladion felt he should have something to say about how… silly it felt when put that way. His instinct was to push back and say he’d never do anything like that… But, well, it was Odette he was talking to. “Fortunately as you’re well aware I’d never do anything even vaguely resembling...

    “That she does,” he laughed. Seems some things never really changed about Hazel, too. “I don’t think I’ve ever heard of that name before at all. Not even a plant, clearly your friend’s got a few more mental tracks for naming than me.” As tempting as it was to indulge in pointless ramblings...

    “Wha— Oh, I see…” The idea of not being identical twins with Lillie almost sent him reeling, wondering how it made sense, but saying ‘you look like twins, I’ll say that much’ about siblings was weird enough that it sounded like the comfortable level of euphemism. Especially if it meant he looked...

    “Thank you…” That was a lot to take in, and wholly unexpected compared to what he’d been prepared for. He was having trouble finding a place to even start. He chose something small as his foothold “Alright. I guess this is the least significant point of difference, but it feels so petty on a...

    “Well… I’d already started trying to disassociate myself from you because I was certain you weren’t getting away from the rail squad. Which…” Gladion dropped into a tone halfway between awkward muttering and plain speech. He wasn’t good at this honesty shit. “Yeah, alright, that was a bad...

    Gladion sighed. Odette was, in many ways, a deeply frustrating person to talk to. “You’re close friends with… not me exactly, but a version of me. There will be some differences, but also the same core. And the core that seems to happen in ever world is incidentally all the shit I don’t want to...

    “No idea, honestly. Strictly speaking I should feel like shit, but I don’t… The dungeon we connected Betel to sucked. Acted like it was alive and withheld the core until we had a fun little interrogation… But, hey, don’t have to worry about you knowing things about me if I’ve been pressed to...

    Oh no. It was Odette. Gladion couldn't quite see her as the same kind of cataclysmic threat via having personal knowledge about him that he used to fear, now that it wasn't a one-of-a-kind problem anymore. (And maybe that didn't seem so bad anymore. It had gone well enough last time at least?)...

    Threadmarks: Ch04: Thicker than Water (Odette and Gladion)

    Gladion had a lot on his mind. How could he not, after all that had happened. He could head back to his room, but he felt like there was more he had to be doing. At the same time, there was nothing he could tackle right now. Instead he’d absentmindedly wandered towards the archives through force...

    Gladion laughed. "No idea how other people do it, honestly... And, no, got nothing else to talk about. See you around, I guess?" With that, he left. It had been a busy week, he was ready to call it a day.

    Gladion exhaled, almost like a laugh. "I'm not saying we're going to be besties for life or anything. I am not becoming an extrovert on your behalf. I'm just willing to back you up, that's all I meant. And if someone has to warn Valere, I'm not one for making friends anyway."

    Gladion sat up, hoping it might express something like an increase in seriousness. He worried it might seem painfully pointed, and like he was making a conscious effort to try to emote properly in his new body... Mostly because both of which would be accurate assessments of him. "I don't have...

    Gladion wanted to make some kind of gesture of reassurance, or something along those lines. But given how he was sitting (lying?) on his stomach, and the way his size and the helmet's weight would lend an oddly high gravity to any kind of movement like that, he found himself stuck. He was still...

    "The... alright." I'll figure that part out later. "I guess I was thinking of... The context of your world, more than your personal life. I feel like I've compartmentalized all that stuff into just being 'the past' now, as much as everything personal. Feels like a distant memory now." He had...

    "Wait, I was gonna go back there to sleep, something happen? We all get evicted? I think the Sun Stone might be fine, though..." Gladion tried not to seem too condescending or rude— he hadn't hit the point of regret yet, but he would if he wasn't careful what he said. "But I just thought to...

    Gladion couldn't help but notice Isadora in the square. She seemed... out of it, and he couldn't really be surprised. It had probably been a rough time for her, given the circumstances. He could just shut his eyes to it and move on, but the group was starting to feel like a team, and that made...
