• 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?

    Threadmarks: [Ch06] Internally Conflicted (Articuno and Gladion)

    This was where Teardrop Isle was, right? He could see the shroud of fog, and all the details seemed to line up. It made practical sense, too, given the location would be pretty practical. It’d be pretty convenient if it was, given he had some questions about how the coven was running security...

    Hm. Tampering with a crime scene? That was… probably bad. But it’s not like he had much of a choice. (Well. He did. He could walk away right now and let them get away with everything. But he wouldn’t.) “Luckily, with my normal, indistinct appearance nobody will have to know who dealt with the...

    Gladion didn’t really know all the wayfarers well enough to be sure. “I’m not completely sure, honestly. I could go flying-type and use a Tailwind… But I’m not exactly experienced with it, so I’m not sure it’s worth it.” He glanced at the Hawlucha. “I suppose you’d have already gone for it if...

    Gladion tilted his head. He was both curious and confused, but his face was hard to read. “Yeah… That… Um. Am I supposed to know what that is?”

    Novelux Realgar Springs

    Hm. If this Hawlucha was meant to be on top of the case, they might be stepping on his ego by interfering. Maybe Gladion could do something to assuage that problem. "Don't want to step on your toes, if it's your jurisdiction. But we dealt with one head of his organization already, which is...

    Gladion perked up when he saw Jaak. At this point he no longer really suspected the guy might be involved with the Coven, so at this point Gladion just thought of him as a guy who'd done them a solid on crash-landing. Gladion shot him a smile. "Hey, I know you!" He wasn't sure for a moment if...

    Sojaveña Wilds Brisa's Cabin

    Some bird impulse in Gladion’s head wanted to make a physical gesture of caring, go fix those feathers or something. Of course, he clamped down on that. It would be weird. To do that. Especially in front of other people. “It always felt impossible ‘til right before it happened. We all needed...

    Sojaveña Wilds Brisa's Cabin

    Relief washed over Gladion as Sage stabilized. Three friends, they’d said. That was really sweet. Maybe he’d just been silly to worry about Sage breaking the helmet early. They’d just made friends more quickly than he or Nova had. (Really, Sage was his third friend in concrete terms.) “You got...

    Sojaveña Wilds Brisa's Cabin

    Okay. Gold oil was gonna be a problem right now, then! Great. What was causing this other than just being an ARK Unit? This had never happened to Nova or himself. Maybe this wasn’t a Silvally evolution. Maybe the helmet just… broke. If so, then that could be bad. Stabilizing Sage at that point...

    Sojaveña Wilds Brisa's Cabin

    In his heart of hearts, Gladion was doubting Luz’s judgement no matter how he tried not to right up until they saw the glow pierce through Sage’s helmet. Once he realized what was happening, well, even if Sage did explode him a bit it’d still be worth it. And he did have a protect, he’d be fine...
  11. Shiny Phantump

    Sojaveña Wilds Brisa's Cabin

    Gladion staggered back, pulling up a protect. Had they seen a Wayfarer go past their limits yet? He was pretty sure they hadn’t, so this would probably be a first. That was bad. That was probably bad, at least. (They just had to trust Luz. Trust Luz hadn’t made an obvious mistake.) “Uhh, okay,”...
  12. Shiny Phantump

    Sojaveña Wilds Brisa's Cabin

    He shifted, trying and failing to find some stance that would make him feel comfortable. “There’s no blueprint for how someone in your situation is supposed to feel. You don’t have to be hungering to get rid of them if you don’t want to.” Truthfully, he hadn’t been expecting to hear Sage say...

    Sojaveña Wilds Brisa's Cabin

    Gladion gave Sage a concerned look. “Are you okay?” It felt to him like that sentiment made intuitive sense, but he probably shouldn’t assume Sage meant the same things by ‘escape’ that he might. “Maybe it would help you to find some kind of outlet for those feelings?” (He felt somewhat...

    Sojaveña Wilds Brisa's Cabin

    If you’d asked him before now, Gladion would’ve doubted it would be a good idea to give radiance to someone who was already unfamiliar with decision-making in general. But clearly, Luz disagreed, and he was very much going to fight her on that. He could see the reasoning in hoping it would...

    Offscreen Activities

    (I could scene this properly if you think it’s worthwhile.) Gladion's interested in bugging Sierra about a few things. He suspects that current events aren't entirely unrelated to the entropic crisis. He's willing to back that idea up with anything Betel's willing to let him share from...

    Landsverd Teardrop Station

    Gladion smirked at Laura with faux-smugness after Sam left the room. Hear that, Laura? I’m really figured-out. When offered, he gave Otto a fistbump. He’d already had his first Forlas handshake today, he didn’t need to get greedy and double up. Plus, it was important never to let the enemy see...

    Landsverd Teardrop Station

    Gladion shrugged. "Ran away from a chance to have any power in my home world. I'll never get to make a real difference there anymore, but a life of politics would've killed me. Maybe I failed to be a 'hero' there, but I don't really believe that's possible." He paused for a beat before settling...

    Landsverd Teardrop Station

    "Can't set yourself on fire to keep other people warm," Gladion said without stopping to think. It felt both automatic and strange to say, like he was flexing a muscle after years of disuse. (If only he'd been better at articulating himself when he was young. Maybe he could've made this point...

    Landsverd Teardrop Station

    At least, in a human society, Gladion had been able to disappear into the general population as just one more person. "Fair enough..." Was it naive to hope they could excise the rot from the Coven's heart without destroying the chance for people like this to find community? There had to be. He...

    Landsverd Teardrop Station

    "Hmm..." Gladion seemed relieved in a manner that was only partially inauthentic. His tone shifted to be cautious and measured. "We did get an explanation from them. It was a different one, kind of. Point being, I think I understand more clearly now. Thank you." He wasn't sure if he should add...
