• 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?

    "Well, in the most literal sense, we don't belong here," Ridley pointed out. "We're from other worlds. And if you're saying the group behind the shadow pokemon is at odds with the human supremacists, they might know that." Dave's other questions were all ones Ridley had wanted to ask...

    "Speaking of talking more," Ridley said, "our previous conversation got cut off, but people who engage with the shadow pokemon are receiving messages from them in dreams. It feels similar to the way you contact us. Are there any other entities like you which could be related to this? Any risks...

    "Mostly that the Coven attracts idealists by telling them they're doing good, but it's the sort of doing good which cares more about its own sense of righteousness than it does what the people here actually need or want," Ridley said flatly. "They've got the colonist mentality, as far as I can...

    Huh. That was a lot. "I'm not exactly eager to help the human supremacists out either," Ridley agreed. "The group I was with met up with a couple people who are working to oppose the Covenant, so there are more than two sides at play here, at least." Probably. Ridley didn't think that Valere...

    Oh! Ridley lit up to hear the Voice finally respond to their call. He took a mental note of where he and Dave were standing, in case he needed to communicate with the Voice again in future. "Hey!" he said. "I'd like to continue the conversation we were having before, but right now I really want...

    "I think Odette heard something different," Ridley said. Honestly, he hadn't asked Koa what he'd heard. At the time, immediately after the dream, his brain still buzzing with the aftershocks of pain and terror, it had seemed obvious that they'd heard the same thing. Ridley had made a guess that...

    "Yeah, that's possible," Ridley agreed. "I had plenty of regular nightmares too -" or at least, he would have done, if he hadn't dedicated himself to not sleeping specifically to avoid them "- but this didn't feel like an ordinary dream." He'd dismissed the Voice's communications as ordinary...

    "Koa and I both heard something like a second Voice talking to us in our dreams that night," Ridley explained. "And in Blaguarro when I volunteered for the night watch we had an encounter with another shadow pokemon. Afterwards Odette reported a similar dream, but Kimiko and I didn't hear...

    "Oh, hey, I'm looking for that too," Ridley said cheerfully. "We can search for it together. What did you learn about - no, don't worry about that, actually, if it's what you want to talk to the Voice about I can ask questions then. There's no sense in repeating yourself." It was frustrating...

    "Voice? Hey, Voice! Are you there?" There was no answer to Ridley's call. He shrugged to himself and kept walking. After their conversation at Blaguarro had been cut short (by Odette being shot at; much as it was probably a bad thing that she'd been hit by the shadow skorupi, at least they'd...

    Sojaveña Wilds Bedaurejo Castle Mystery Dungeon

    Ridley was dazed and half-deafened, his ears still ringing so much from the boomburst that he'd barely heard the second explosion as Laura's bag of blast seeds went off, but he was still standing - the only one still standing, surrounded by the crumpled forms of his companions. He cursed to...

    Sojaveña Wilds Bedaurejo Castle Mystery Dungeon

    Ridley wasn't down yet - nowhere close to it - but he felt so drained. The world still felt a little out of focus from whatever move Farin had hit him with earlier. He had maybe one more move left in him, and he didn't think it would be a strong one. But Farin and Valere seemed to be flagging...

    Ridley felt an effervescent rush of achievement as Farin went down. For the first time, he almost felt like he understood what people meant when they talked about the thrill of battle. ...and then the golden light of a reviver seed crackled across her form, and Ridley's mood fell flat. Of...

    Farin's flamethrower left the fabric of Ridley's disguise smouldering slightly. He remembered the shadow charmeleon, the awful pain - but no, it was just fire, just a burn. It hurt, but not like that had. Despite the ominous humming filling the air, Ridley still took a moment to pat out as many...

    Pokemon weren't people in Ridley's world. Maybe that helped him here. He could see, suddenly, the sort of person he might have been if things were otherwise. It was easy, so easy, to make unilateral statements about unity, and not even notice you were doing it... People are people. Those are my...

    Sojaveña Wilds Bedaurejo Castle Mystery Dungeon

    This was Ridley's first time in a mystery dungeon. That was strange for him to realise. He'd been in this world for - how long had it been, now? - and the dungeons which had been the first topic which had caught his interest. He'd been so distracted, first by the whole situation with Sonora and...

    "Literally yes," Ridley said, equally flat. "Now we know something we didn't before. The pair of you shut up for a moment. We can argue later." Sure, okay, Kimiko hated ghost-types; he could deal with that later. Right now he was focused on the skorupi, skittering and writhing just beyond the...

    Blaguarro Town Blaguarro Outskirts

    Despite his anxiety, Ridley thought the situation was low-stakes enough that he could alert the Voice about a situation that had been troubling him. He'd been wrong. He'd been so, so wrong. Ridley's heart almost stopped as the second Witching Beast - the shadow skorupi - fired a pin missile...

    "After the charmeleon," Ridley said. "Koa and I both heard something similar to you, telling us we didn't belong here." Which, fair enough, was a pretty factual statement. "What are you, anyway?" Below him, Odette started to climb back up the tower again. Ridley let out a sigh of relief.

    Wait wait wait what the fuck? "Get back up here!" Ridley hissed, trying not to panic. What did Odette think she was doing? Had she somehow missed the part where Ridley's entire group had been torn to shreds by the Witching Beast they'd met? Because that seemed pretty hard to miss! Ridley was...
