• 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?

    "Marvellous," boomed Douglas. "A plan indeed! I'm sure Howie and Julius will hammer out any details. Fine, fine men, they are. I'm a tremendous judge of character, I would know!" Somehow, that seemed true. The thoroughly eccentric gasbag had trusted the Wayfarers instantly, but he'd said enough...

    "It's just an expression!" chuckled Sam. "Means no uniforms, or flashy items or whatever. Don't, you know, overthink it."

    "Fallers?" muttered Douglas, thoughtfully. "Summoned," corrected Sparkwright, matter-of-factly. "They've been quite busy in the west. Adequate reputation, on most counts – and I don't place value in the vapid mewlings of old-money fools – and therefore adequately trustworthy. Otherwise I would...

    The fae-Weezing's secondary face pulled a grim expression, a real yeesh look of downturned-mouth and tense jaw. "Well," he pondered, his larger face frowning, "most dungeons don't inflict this sort of thing, you know? Some have various harrowing mental effects, to be sure, but reportedly the...

    Douglas scoffed. "Oh, they want every member they can get, I'm sure. So do the unions, the churches, the papers, the political parties, and just about every other damn thing there is. Wyatt doesn't have time for that, he's got enough to do, ha!" His lesser face frowned deeply as he looked over...

    Sparkwright's fan blades whirred at their highest RPM yet. "Well, I really couldn't say," he murmured, faux-modestly. "But it seems to me that anyone with human ancestry gets the invitation. Repeatedly, if they're disinclined, yet remain of sufficient interest. No surprise, then, that they...

    Sparkwright answered for the other two in an airy drawl. "It's a secret society of some sort. They make regular overtures to me, seeking my membership." He smiled coldly, as if this was beneath him. "I am my own man," he added, "and I don't need to schmooze with people who fancy themselves...

    Douglas's second face frowned in consternation. "Mmno, I don't believe so. The impression I got was that he didn't find what he was looking for, and then Mesa Blue heard about it later and took to nerves about it... Is that about right, Julius?" "I... suppose so," the Lopunny muttered...

    "A dungeon dive? What a delightfully forthright suggestion!" declared Douglas. "It certainly would indicate your strength to me somewhat. Though we do like to 'put on a show' here at the Dome, the fights are real, and our champions are genuinely extraordinary fighters." Julius shifted, as if...

    Apparently by extending a prehensile plume of vapour to touch the proffered vine. "The pleasure is mine, young lady!" said Douglas, instantly jovial. He seemed... genuinely just that earnest a 'mon. Julius glowered through his office spectacles at Nova, not buying a word of his obfuscation...

    To one side, Sparkwright dipped a few inches in the air by way of a nod to Dave. "The very same," he replied. Then, as Nova tried bluffing, "I can't say I was expecting an audition by, ah, 'Frontier citizens'... not that you— "Oh, do be a sport, Howie," boomed Douglas, cutting him off. "This...

    One of the bodyguards, a Golduck in a pinstripe jacket, made a subtle step forward as Nova reached into his satchel – then, just as quietly, stepped back when mere paper emerged. Julius intercepted the note with a slightly dismayed expression. "Hmm. I see. It's an affidavit from the...

    The doors were not rotom-operated, it seemed – although a doormon was not uncommon at upmarket hotels in the city. "The doors work by employing a simple mass-detection system," buzzed Sparkwright, turning to face the new arrivals with a detectable measure of interest. "There is a...

    In the foyer of the Dome, through massive sliding doors and practically gleaming with light, a pair of businessmon were talking frankly. "Well, I could be persuaded," buzzed the smooth, sardonic voice of a Rotom-possessed deskfan. "You know how these things are, my good 'mon." "Ah, yes – it is...

    Your ears ring with the cheers and stomps of the crowd. Your eyes squint at furious flashes of energy from the field. Your nose fills with the heady scents of fried food and cheap beer – or if you're in the front row, the acrid tang of battling 'mon. Your fur prickles with adrenaline...
