• 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 looked around, though he didn’t actually stop to look at anything in particular for more than a second or two. “Neat place.” Primarily, he was looking around because wanted to get an idea of where the sun was without looking like too much like it was his first idea. It had been noon...

    Frontier Town Sun Stone Saloon

    Really? Do you think we would never have thought of that otherwise. Realistically, the remarks about their summoner was probably supposed to be a jab at Betel’s credibility. Gladion was concerned their origin was harmful— Near-certain of it, really. It didn’t change the fact that he still...

    Gladion tried his best to look unaffected. Articuno’s ideas made his skin crawl. He could only imagine how easy it would be to scoop up amnesiac humans and mould them into whatever they needed. (There were some that showed up without purpose, right? Like Gerome?) String them along, puff them up...

    “Even if I won’t be of use to your operation,” Gladion shrugged, “I won’t turn down a good fight if you’d still have me.” Was it a good idea? Maybe he’d get some sense of who Articuno was. Maybe they’d get some sense of his disdain for them, but then again it probably wouldn’t be a huge...

    Hm. So Articuno probably couldn’t give out Radiance like Luz could. He could probably have figured that from context already, but it had just struck him now. Best not to point out to Articuno that such a thing was possible… “That would expose us to some rather substantial risks based on the...

    Master Gladion? Master Fucking Gladion? His stomach twisted in a few different ways. He hadn’t heard that in years and this stupid fucking bird comes up and calls him that? Surely, it was random chance, they didn’t know, they couldn’t know, they couldn’t possibly know. They just had enough of...

    Frontier Town Sun Stone Saloon

    Gladion barely managed to avoid laughing at the ‘plainer lexical register’ and ‘burdened by excess education’ comments. He kept his mouth shut. There was nothing he had to say that wouldn’t torch a bridge for everyone else.

    Fuck. He’d assumed the ability to psychically ping Nolan don’t mean being in his fucking brain constantly. “Fine. ‘Course.” Given Articuno already knew what terms they were on, he wanted to cut to the chase. Whatever. Any pithy remarks he died on his tongue because he didn’t want to fuck this...

    It felt good to watch the lizard start to crack. To see the impact of his words, and to watch Nolan struggle with what to think. It was- No, wait, what was he thinking? This was not supposed to be an enjoyable endeavour. He felt a sobering nausea. This kind of posturing for kicks wasn't supposed...

    “ARK Units, or Graydian as you know us, aren’t a natural species at all. We have to be created. Gladion shot a sad look at his companion. “Archie, Archie, Archie, talk about jumping the gun. You can’t just throw around accusation like that and expect to be taken at your word!” He offered a...

    Frontier Town Sun Stone Saloon

    That… caught Gladion off guard, given the context. Did he know? Had Cipher not successfully created Shadows at that point? Or had the Coven been in contact with them before Nolan’s mission? Nolan offered to go let them see his boss. Gladion had a different concern, but maybe he could slip in...

    Gladion smirked. He tried to keep it internal, to make sure it wouldn’t read on his face. That was Auriga being referred to, no? “Beacon, huh? Sounds like you understand it well enough for us to proceed.” Part of him wanted to just move on from Nolan asking for information. Part of him wanted...

    Frontier Town The Wanderin' Zera

    “Yeah. Guess so.” Gladion quite liked Dave. The guy reminded him of Nanu, which probably meant ill for the state of Dave’s mental health, but was nonetheless familiar to him in a welcome way. Dave reminded him of home in a number of ways, really. “Not looking to drink anything that’ll push the...

    Gladion spaced out for a moment, thinking something unpleasant before snapping back to reality with a shiver. “Ah. So it’s like that. I shouldn’t be surprised people would rule a bunch of abnormal kids are scarier than a cult of people who’d like to kill, uh, whole demographics of people.”...

    Gladion winced. “I see. That’s… what I’d expect if someone tried that in mine. I’d like to think it wouldn’t come to that there. Maybe I’m being naive, though. We’ve got our own problems of bigotry, probably’d get some legislative issues, but not… Cultist gun violence.” He shot Dave a concerned...

    “If anyone’s qualified, it’s her.” Gladion’s tone placed more emphasis on the first clause of the sentence, though. As though he thought it was a substantial ‘if’ to consider. “I guess the weirdness is a matter of perspective. I mean, as much as your world sounds shitter than them all, an...

    Frontier Town The Wanderin' Zera

    “Nope!” Gladion laughed, though in a dry and humourless sound that could just as well have been pain. “It won’t stay in a ball. It won’t stay in a master ball. I haven’t seen her since I left. Betel got me just a bit too early, we were planning to meet at some point.” He took a deep breath...

    Gladion winced. That sounded fucking stupid. “Explosive…” he uttered before partially collecting himself and retrying. “Um. It seems to be able to create its own wormholes. Ultra Wormholes, big enough for people and the like to pass through. It found one of those nano-wormhole setups, while my...

    “Thanks,” Gladion accepted. Seemed like he more Dave were completely confident in their discussion of dead people. He didn’t want to linger on it. Didn’t know how to talk about it. “At one point, researchers managed to open a nano-wormhole to… what gets called ‘another world’ back home, but not...

    “The whole place I grew up is… Like a small metal island out in international waters. For a number of reasons, but yeah most of them are shady. But it predates my father ending up there by decades. Lab’s there one way or another. Even the conservation work Aether does often happens there.”...
