• 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?

    Whispers of Andre and Ridley

    So this was Andre's memory, then. That would have been a neat explanation for everything which didn't add up about it, but on the plus side at least Ridley didn't have to deal with a third party gatecrashing the dungeon. And Andre had been waiting for Mike to leave so he could do... what...

    Whispers of Andre and Ridley

    Somehow Ridley's low estimation of Mike hadn't been anywhere near low enough. It was almost impressive, honestly. Also probably solid evidence that Mike was only responding to what Ridley said and did in the loosest possible terms, because no-one who talked like that would look at a hairy fat...

    Whispers of Andre and Ridley

    Ridley's body responded instinctively, cradling his hand to his chest and curling in around it like that would somehow prevent further damage. Okay. Well. Shit. That answered several of Ridley's questions, and he didn't like any of the answers. The pain in his hand gradually faded from a...

    Whispers of Andre and Ridley

    The shift in location left Ridley feeling disoriented and rattled. Was this where Andre lived? It looked like some place out of a magazine, but maybe Ridley just had particularly low standards for his living spaces. It was obvious at a glance that whoever lived here owned tables with all four...

    Whispers of Andre and Ridley

    "Yeah, sure," lied Ridley, who had no intention of letting it get that far. Nice though it was to have his human body back, he wasn't actually stupid enough to get his dick out in the middle of some dungeon illusion designed to screw with his head, thanks. Ridley didn't have any real plan here...

    Whispers of Andre and Ridley

    Wait. What. Mike's words were a low hum in Ridley's ear, barely distinguishable over the background noise. Ridley found himself on his feet without having meant to move. His gaze flicked from left to right, up to down, window to window. Himself and Mike were the only spots of colour in this...

    Whispers of Andre and Ridley

    Ridley felt the weight of the world against his skin, heavy and oppressive. Did that mean he was doing something right? Was the dungeon trying to prevent him and Andre from pairing up? He pushed forwards, trying to ignore the way his building headache throbbed at his temples. "Andre," he...

    Whispers of Andre and Ridley

    "Of course," Ridley agreed. Wyndon, then, but not the Wyndon Ridley knew, not if humanoid pokemon were in this bar, acting like any person would. Why was Ridley here? Where was Andre in all this? "Excuse me for a second," he said, hopping to his feet. "My friend, you know, he was supposed to...

    Whispers of Andre and Ridley

    "Of course," Ridley said agreeably. He flagged down the bartender and ordered a couple pints of whatever they had on tap. Hey, Betel? Betel, can you hear me? Are you there? "So, what do people do in this town for fun?" He raised his glass. "Besides talking to fascinating strangers at a bar, of...

    Whispers of Andre and Ridley

    So where was Andre in all this? The bar itself was clearly a gay bar. Even if the greyscaled six-striped flag above the counter hadn't suggested it, the denizens themselves would have. Human men and humanoid pokemon. Something in Ridley recoiled at the thought, but hadn't Andre made it clear...

    Whispers of Andre and Ridley

    ...what? Of all the things Ridley might have expected from a dungeon, this hadn't been on the list. Ridley checked his hands, splaying them out before him: thumb and four fingers, bitten nails with cheap black nail varnish, dark hairs playing from the thick forearms to the back of the hands...

    Novelux Whisperwind Comb Mystery Dungeon

    Not fully, if Ridley was honest. He stared at the dungeon entrance, twitching his head from side to side, trying to see if he could relocate that vertiginous sense of optical illusion he'd experienced as the dungeon had first revealed itself. Dungeons like this could prey on the mind. As eager...

    Sojaveña Wilds Silver Ravine Mystery Dungeon

    "We argue about it and try to come to a compromise?" Ridley said, nonplussed. "Admittedly the people here are way more casually violent than they are in my world, but there's got to be a point where everyone recognises that dick-measuring contests won't actually solve anything and we all need to...

    Sojaveña Wilds Silver Ravine Mystery Dungeon

    "I don't know how true that is," Ridley said slowly. He remembered how it felt to fight alongside other Wayfarers, the way an instinctive awareness of his companions' intentions sang through his mind without a word being spoken. "Even if we're stronger than the average person, I don't think we...

    Sojaveña Wilds Silver Ravine Mystery Dungeon

    "That sounds contradictory," Ridley said, before he could stop himself. Well, whatever; it was out in the world now, so he might as well roll with it. "You say modern people would have despised him, but then you say he might have managed to find a real compromise with them. You say he believed -...

    Sojaveña Wilds Silver Ravine Mystery Dungeon

    "If someone keeps breaking your shit, whether intentionally or because they just don't care enough to avoid it, I think it's fair to dislike them," Ridley pointed out. "If that's what the Stormbringer would have done, then it sounds less like he had an understanding with the clans and more like...

    Sojaveña Wilds Silver Ravine Mystery Dungeon

    "Not specifically, but it's a nice bonus," Ridley said. He gave an awkward little wave, half to Zapdos and half to the other Wayfarers. "Did you put it on special just for us?"

    Sojaveña Wilds Silver Ravine Mystery Dungeon

    The weather was spectacular. Ridley had thought he was past the point of lamenting the loss of his rotomphone, but he ached with the wish for some sort of record of this. It was all too glorious, too raw and beautiful, to be condemned to live only in the fallible mists of his memory. Towering...

    Landsverd Teardrop Island

    "I'm n-not," Ridley said, "so s-sure we were chosen at all. I think m-m-maybe we chose." He didn't know about the other offworlders, those poor souls stripped of their memories and dropped into an alien world and alien bodies without preparation, but the Wayfarers had been given a choice. They...

    Landsverd Teardrop Island

    Ha ha, Ridley thought. A distant part of him recognised that it was probably a sign he was becoming a little too inured to violence if he could see a god bringing down vengeance upon him and only feel smug that his juvenile nonsense had gotten under their skin. Then the Ancient Power hit...
