• 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?

    Isidora put her stuff back in her bag and followed her, several things still on her mind. And now that the interview was over, one, small, nagging question floated up from the back of it. It was so inconsequential, really... But as soon as she caught up and felt she had the chance, she went for...

    "Right..." Isidora picked up her notes and gave them another glance over. "There's still a ton more I'm curious about..." She sighed again. "But yeah, I'll admit it, I was only doin' the research 'cause I was plannin' to join 'em." Slowly, she got up from her seat and tucked her notebook under...

    Dammit. Why does she have to be right? Isidora pushed herself away from her notes until she sat up straight. She didn't bother covering them anymore, instead anxiously flexing her claws close to the edge of the table. "...Thing is, I used to do similar work once," she admitted. "So it's not...

    "I see." Tlalli had been so kind and non-judgmental, and here Isidora was, trying to figure out if there was something secretly screwed up about the gliscor's old job she was proud in. Obviously she knew she wasn't going to get that from this, that's why she'd been hesitant about it. But it...

    Isidora's ears prickled with shame, laying flat against her head. "Well, yeah." She shrunk over her notes, looking down at them and away from Tlalli. "That's what I meant..." She didn't need that explained to her, did she? Did my words come out wrong, or am I just a dumbass? In the moment it...

    Isidora returned a soft, knowing chuckle. "Yeah, you could bare-" And then she blinked. She almost started talking about her own experiences, which wouldn't have made any sense to someone in another world. "Uh..." She held her pen close to her cheek so she could scratch it. "...Got distracted...

    'Like Red Claw?^No. Benign? Yes.' "I think I'm starting to get a picture," said Isidora, eyes closed with a claw lightly scratching the page. "It's about what needs to be done, then. You sound like you're proud to have worked for them." Maybe they're worth working with after all... She opened...

    Once she was sitting at the table in a comfortable position to conceal her writing with an arm, Isidora began taking notes. 'Protect civilians. Keep travellers safe. Rural focus.' A pause to gather her thoughts. 'Organised towards specific role. Popular enough to be glorified. Spreads...

    Isidora couldn't tell if it was the heat or hot shame burning under her pelt. Way to go, you offended her. She felt like a kit getting put in her place for being too rough and confident. And maybe she was. "I... Sorry, I was outta line," Isidora apologized, just slightly avoiding eye contact...

    "Um..." The word 'friend' caught Isidora off guard, and she immediately broke eye contact. Why's she being so forward? Obviously, it was part of Tlalli's job to be nice, but this was almost too nice for Isidora to know how to handle. She muttered quietly. "I wasn't really looking for personal...

    Isidora watched the librarian swoop down into place behind the desk, and kept her claws out of view to relax them -- it wasn't that she found a gliscor intimidating per se, though this was her first experience with one. She just hadn't expected a response so quickly. "I guess you could say...

    Threadmarks: [Ch03] So Who Even Are the Rangers, Anyway?

    Plans on what to do next had been circulating through Isidora's head in the days since the meeting. It was clear the group had reached a point where they had no choice but to finally start pushing forward on what they knew, yet unlike some pokémon, she was not going to debase herself for this...

    Right. She should've known better. "Oh." Isidora glared at her book, rage and fear and disgust and disappointment boiling within her and bristling her fur. Should've known better. She channeled every ounce of anger she had into slamming the atlas shut. Should've known better. Then tucked it...

    As Laura explained her history with university, Isidora couldn't help but feel a flash of anxiety. "Oh." To her, it did sound spoiled. For schooling to be so accessible... It's the kinda future my world wants to build. In theory. But actually hearing it said, it didn't feel spoiled. It felt...

    "Y-Yeah, it was figurative. I mean, how would you even blow up an entire kingdom?" Isidora laughed awkwardly at the very idea. "Hivech's gone through a lot of internal strife in the past, you could almost say it's built into the way they do things. But that's an entire story of its own." "As...

    It finally occurred to her: right now, for the foreseeable future, Isidora was the foremost expert on Liber in Forlas. Even if someone else did know about it, they wouldn't know as much as her. And Laura actually seemed interested... The pedant in her immediately came out. "King Sharp was a...

    "Uh." Isidora scratched her cheek. She hadn't expected to get into a conversation like this. "I dunno if it's really all that interesting. I don't even know where to start..." How to go about talking about her world? Isidora’s entire head was filled with whatever random history trivia she...

    At 'birthday paradaox,' Isidora finally looked back at Laura, her head at a tilt. "I don't think I've heard of that before." Huh. Maybe calendars everywhere have the same amount of days. It made enough sense to her. "Though I dunno if we have the patience to convert everyone's birthdays to find...

    Right, I probably already read as a shut-in to her. Isidora moved her gaze onto the table and scratched under her feathered ear. "Yeah, the calendar's a bit weird." Should I ask her what's up with the year? Well, no, I'd probably seem stupid if she already figured it out. Another shrug. "I...
