• 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 sorta half sucked his legs in the closest emulation he could find to nodding this body could do with the helmet. “Sounds good. Anything that’d get the attention of an ARK Unit, I think. I… really hope we can find one. Would answer a lot of questions.” He took a step back. “Anything you...

    {Less then a year?} First off, that was incredibly young, young enough to possibly even have come into being as a reaction to some kind of event here. Second... {So, if there was an ARK Unit around at that time, odds are good they're still around. Thank you, Betel. This was really helpful.}...

    "Yeah, it does beg the question of how it happened, but... it's not something we're likely to be able to answer. At least, not yet." Though, the fact the Coven had access to more advanced technology was... still a concern. He hoped that wasn't the reason why. The probability that hope was...

    "Silvally?" Gladion's eyes smirked. "Even I haven't heard that one before, but I have to admit I like it. And if Nova or I do pull off the 'evolution' it would follow the naming scheme... I wonder if he's heard it before, but regardless I'll have to keep it in mind should that happen. I don't...

    {I see. RKS Chimera must have been the primary term before that, then, but the name was rare enough Nova supplanted it almost immediately. As much as I'd like to think otherwise, it could well have been a historical term by our arrival...} Gladion turned his attention to Laura, giving her a...

    {Well, this Mewtwo does seem to be an offworlder, but I still don't see how they're compatible... A question for another time, perhaps...} After all, there was something more interesting. Laura was jumping in, and seemed to have changed the results of his test in retrospect, just by mentioning...

    Well, if he's training with that apparently-not-a-Mewtwo, he should know what he's getting himself into. And... he is doing that. Another thing was bothering him, too. He'd asked about Nulls, Betel had responded clearly knowing what he'd meant... but called him a Graydian seconds later...

    "Yeah. Longer I think about it, the weirder it gets..." He didn't have time to linger on the subject of convergent people before Betel replied. A mercy, really. Though at the same time, their reply presented a new problem in its own right. What? No, that can't be true, I just... I just met...

    Gladion laughed. "I don't have any particular reason to want you to talk to Mewtwo. Just thought you might be interested for your own reasons, and... Gonna say I think I was right on that one. I'm not sure what an Archie-Tarahn situation is, honestly, but they seem to... know versions of each...

    Gladion found himself second-guessing his reasoning surrounding the Mewtwo, but he couldn't shake his hunch. "I'm pretty sure he's human. He's got someone else he knows here— that's a whole other mess of weird circumstances, honestly— who ended up in an unfortunate body. He chalked that not...

    “Clearly must be. I know of one— unique in my world, and they’re engineered with human genes, so that seems like something that should be an impossibility here. Clearly, though, it isn’t.” He couldn’t help notice Laura’s tail. Seemed she was better at body language than him. “Shall I infer from...

    Threadmarks: [Ch03] Laura and Gladion

    Gladion still didn’t know how to feel about Laura. He deeply respected her, but also felt like she knew more about his past than he’d want in a friend. Which wasn’t her fault, sure, and it meant it was logical to ask to talk to her in particular about further developments is the saga of Forlas’...

    "Yeah, but mine sure is, so I got it easy there. Pretty sure she deserves credit for rehabilitating me as much as I do her." Gladion laughed. It felt derogatory to call it rehabilitating him, but hey, that was the joke. It probably shouldn't be funny to him, but that was just how things felt...

    It's complicated, I take it... "Tracking them down? You do rehab or something? That seems like it could fit you. Tried to do something like that for one of the Nulls I met, but she was chill anyways so it was easy. Not the one that…” A chill went down Gladion’s spine. “Huh. I don’t like where...

    Gladion laughed. “Of course I got a good head on my shoulders. Look how firmly it’s secured there.” It was a shame Wes didn’t know anything else about them. (Or wouldn’t say if he was like Gladion. It was none of his business, and Wes realistically probably just actually didn’t know.) Wait...

    Gladion tried not to laugh at Wes' phrasing. To limited success. "Yes... They seem pretty far off the genetic engineering part of the tech tree. We haven't seen the entire world, I guess, but it'd be a hell of a leap. And shadows are still whispers in the distance where I'm from, so you're...

    "...then things that should not be able to exist here could contaminate it. I was manufactured by humans as well." It occurred to Gladion that'd he had just reflexively referred to himself as if he was a Null without realizing it, his pretense settling in as a habitual second skin without...

    Gladion’s first internal reaction was that said investigation sounded interesting, but he had the good sense to keep that musing to himself. Subject at hand. “I’ve… heard the word before, in the context of the kind of shady dealing that can happen in Orre, but I’m not exactly sure what the...

    Oh, good, now they were talking about something. That made things up easier… even if it felt a little wrong that talking about his acquaintance(? friend?) getting beaten up was easier than smalltalk. “I… hadn’t, actually. I can figure something happened, but I have no clue what. Mind filling me...

    Oh no, he’d started a pointless conversation hadn’t he? Gladion felt the cold dread of having to manage a normal mundane social situation creep in. Totally self inflicted. “I’m doing… alright, I guess? Physically, I’m fine, not much is going to hurt me too long here the way I’m built. But this...
