• 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?

    "Yeah." Nova walked past Andre. "Think that about does it." He silently headed back into town. Toward the buildings and actual foot traffic. Nova looked up. He hadn't forgotten what Brisa had said back in the Comb. And Betel's reaction. He wouldn't "say" it, but he was feeling fairly...

    "Well, as far I'm concerned, you're done with the confessions," Nova said. "And you'll kindly continue to stay out of this Alexander business." At best, it'd be disruptive to Dave and Odette when they had bigger fish to fry. And at worst... Andre would be an asset for Alexander to turn against...

    "Of fucking course not." Nova rolled his eyes. "Did you miss the part where we're gearing up to try and fight a guy who uses shadows and people's negative emotions to mind control them? Why would I want to put this stuff out in the wild." He shook his head. "And, quite frankly, you should've...

    "That's not what I'm saying." Nova loomed over Andre. "I'm saying you had choices. You could have done other things to protect people. Especially since these sound like total strangers to you. But instead you jumped head first down the 'those who fight monsters' slope. It wasn't you in danger...

    "Did you kill them while they were doing these things? Or trying to?" Nova asked.

    "Are they?" Nova wondered. That change in tone was noted. He'd found a chink in the armor. He could keep prodding. "How do you know that?" He took a step closer. "Do you stalk your victims' partners? Their families? Because I doubt you could just... incidentally waltz into their lives."...

    "I'm not here to convince you of that," Nova said. "I know your type. The ones who believe they're above reproach and all that." He shook his head, then kept his gaze trained on the sky. There was a thin cloud hanging over the horizon. "It started simply enough. Take out the worst of the worst...

    Nova's stoic expression turned to a glare, but between his pace and his size over Andre, the deerling wouldn't see it. Are you questioning me? My logic is perfect. You know this. I built you to be better. That's an order, N0-V4. Do as you're told. They need to be taken care of. They're a...

    And so they walked in silence. Passing by buildings smaller and larger. Getting closer to the outskirts, where not as much foot traffic passed through. "So, what, this is something you and only you can do?" Nova didn't make eye contact as he spoke. "You got a voice in your head telling you...

    "Because this isn't the kind of conversation to continue here," Nova replied. The sunlight blanketed most of his limited red glow. "If you really think I'm about to give you a taste of your own medicine, then you're mistaken. You do realize Betel's probably listening in, right? Or would sense...

    Aaaaaand there it was. Nova was split on whether that was the answer. But to say it so blatantly and openly. He stood up. His crest fanned out and he arced his beck in stretch. Then Nova opened his satchel. He slotted a red disk into his drive. Red seeped across the turquoise of his eyes...

    "Don't you humans have systems to punish criminals?" Nova countered, raising a brow. "You pretty much said it does." He squinted. "Do you regret what you've done?"

    Nova's scrutinizing gaze didn't let up. "So, what, you stopped them in the act of doing things? Cuz the way you're talking... it sure doesn't sound that way."

    Nova opened his beak. Then shut it. Then opened it again. Then shut it. A part of him thought his leg had been yanked. This little deerling? What, was he actually some sort of jacked up human with a closet full of firearms back home? Vigilantism. The word rolled around in his head. "Is that...

    Nova tilted his head enough that his neck cracked. "O-ho-kay... this is getting to sound like some sort of extended preamble to whatever it is you need to get off your chest." He took in a breath, his chest puffing slightly. "You don't have to tiptoe around this. Rip the bandage off or...

    Nova's expression hardened. "What?" He squinted at Andre. "That's... a bit of a sweeping generalization, don't you think? It's hard to say anything about anyone unless you know what their situation is."

    "I s'pose so." Nova shrugged his shoulders. This was... meant to be the lead up to something. But what was it— It took a few moments, but Nova's last conversation with Andre did pop back up. In spite of all the stuff that had happened since then. "This gotta do with that serial killer guy you...

    "That so?" Nova clicked his tongue. His cheek bolts turned in their socket. That... sounded more like he was sugarcoating blackmail. Human police pulled stunts like that all the time. "Oh, we just want to hear your side of the story." was typically police speak for "You're our main suspect...

    Nova blinked a few times. The rusty gears in his head managed to turn. Something related to Andre? And just... out of the blue? "Wait a tic." He looked down at the deerling. "You and Ridley were the only ones who got booted out from the Comb, weren't you?" He wasn't aware of anything else...

    Nova's crest fanned out briefly. "Oh. Hi." He adjusted his satchel. Andre hadn't been part of the group meeting about Alexander, right? And Nova wasn't sure what had gotten distributed through Betel aside from his talk with Dayle. "If it's about Dayle, I don't have anything else to offer right...
