• 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?

    Frontier Town Founder's Square

    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...

    Frontier Town Founder's Square

    “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...

    Frontier Town Founder's Square

    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?)...

    Frontier Town Industrial Park

    “You have been, I’d say.” Ah, that made sense. They were done with pleasantries, time for business. Made sense Nova would want to pick his brain on this puzzle, and Gladion did know the answer… Or would, if it applies here. Which it probably didn’t. “The RKS System was a manual override added...

    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...

    Frontier Town Industrial Park

    “Been a long time coming, then. Glad you got the chance to get it off here, at least. I’ll… probably get there. Wasn’t sure if I’d be able to, but it’s been starting to feel possible. And, hey, after how long you’ve had it, you deserve it.” He believed it, and sounded as such. Gladion had only...

    Frontier Town Industrial Park

    “It was you or two people, but that was a genuine question. Or a lucky guess, whichever you wanna call it. Figured you were more likely to seek me out.” He turned around to face Nova, and saw him without a mask. His eyes widened. “Holy shit, you got it off?” Gladion sounded delighted. “I almost...

    Threadmarks: Ch04: Like Chimeras (Gladion and Nova)

    Gladion ducked into the industrial park for a moment to himself. It wasn’t a pretty place, but when he needed somewhere with room to breathe that was still comfortably away from the public eye it always served well. Today, though, he heard a pair of talons and paws making their way towards him...

    Offscreen Activities

    Gladion’s been going around on a bad ankle for a while, hoping it would go away. After enough time, he checks with Drungfield to ask if there’s anything he needs to do about it. Once he sees her, another question occurs to him and he eventually asks another question. “Another thing I’ve had on...

    Little Scriven Lumirror Forest

    “Huh, that is useful. Maybe we should wire some more in.” As long as we’re sure they’re stable… He shot a look back at the dungeon as he prepared to leave. “And you. I can find something to share with the town, but in the context of what you just pulled… Listen, I’m willing to say you didn’t...

    Little Scriven Lumirror Forest

    "Thanks. Really don't think this place knew what it was asking there... Or had better not have. But... s'fine." He'd gotten the impression when they'd first met that Andre seemed a bit stuck-up. Too goody-two-shoes, but in retrospect... Andre'd probably been trying to figure out why he was...

    Little Scriven Lumirror Forest

    This was enough to start pushing Gladion back into business mode. The sense that what he’d said would still come back to him lingered, but was pressed to the corners of his mind instead of the forefront. I see. Thank you for sharing that. I apologize if I’m pushing for too much more, but… That...

    Little Scriven Lumirror Forest

    Even if it didn’t slow his heart racing, Gladion didn’t mind a new subject to latch on to. “Alright! I guess you’ve got two options. Which one are you more comfortable with? Or, also any too important to stay quiet about…”

    Little Scriven Lumirror Forest

    “Shit…” Gladion felt his secret was almost petty in comparison. Not enough to want to share anything el— Fuck. Okay, Ghaspius was one. Archie seemed above-board. Andre… he’d really hoped the other was Andre, but… Andre wasn’t admitting to basic facts, he was going off the shadow lie and...

    Little Scriven Lumirror Forest

    Gladion felt a song of fear in his heart. This was worst possible “puzzle” he could have been faced with. He scrambled for some other secret, some lesser truth to share. One that wasn’t as mortifying as the one drilling it’s way through his skull right now. But he couldn’t, because there was...

    Little Scriven Lumirror Forest

    (Had that Floette been the one designing the puzzle? It seemed more likely than the idea of dungeons as alive being more than just a poetic metaphor.) “I can only halfway see for shit in the first place, I’ll be fine.” Gladion laughed before allowing himself to take the problem more seriously...

    Gladion narrowed his eyes. “Wait, does “Oricorio” really count as a title? That’s the author! I mean, it would spell North but if that’s the solution I’m gonna be annoyed…” He grumbled. “Fine, that probably is the answer but it doesn’t make sense!”

    "I'm a..." He paused, strongly considering getting pithy and calling himself an alien. But he decided not to push it. Especially because he gave it 50-50 odds Ghaspius would buy it. “…a human.” Once Gladion noticed the reflections, he froze. He’d been in and around dungeons before, but he’d...

    “I suppose that’s true,” Gladion admitted, though in a rather pained tone, “I still don’t find it easy to trust the frontier’s justice system after everything I’ve seen so far, though…” Gladion rolled his eyes. He’d been trying to give a shit about them. She couldn’t make that easy for him...

    Little Scriven Lumirror Forest

    Gladion sighed. “I’m not sure. I expected it to look different, based on that description. Wasn’t there supposed to be… paper or something?” Hello, Betel, do you read me? Are we in the right place? Also, while we’re taking, you completely one hundred percent certain that this cannot possibly...
