• 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?

    Miracle of miracles, Articuno was actually listening, and sounded serious about it. He'd have to see how serious they really were in practice, but this was already a lot more than he'd dared to hope, coming here. He took a deep breath, shaking out his fur against the cold. "Yeah, that sounds...

    Well, good to know Nolan and his ilk were at least in the minority. Dave shuddered against the cold, shaking flecks of snow from his coat. "That's the thing. If everyone's afraid to speak out against bullshit, people will just spiral off gobbling up whatever simplistic bigotry and easy answers...

    No forcing a Saint to do anything much that they don't care to? Hadn't Moltres come there asking for guidance only to be turned down? Whatever. It sounded like a long fucking time ago, and clearly Articuno wasn't exactly thrilled about how it'd played out. Moltres now was at least improving...

    "Well, if not you personally, aren't you saying the point of the Covenant was meant to be to make sure the powerful use their power for good through the magic of community? Not leaving an anxious mentorless Saint with mental health problems to try to figure shit out on her own after she seeks...

    Well, wasn't that just fucking great. All that effort fighting Matthias and then they just stole the thing anyway. He exhaled through his nose. "Any idea what they might want with it? Clearly not Brisa, since she's not holed up in a dungeon anymore. Anything going on at the Sable Office that's...

    Dave frowned. "You think that's why Matthias tried to kidnap Sparkwright? The Covenant thinks he's bad for society, and you're not pushing him hard enough, so his faction goes let's disappear him? Or do you think they just wanted his invention?" Honestly he liked the Rotom. He'd been nothing...

    "Geneticist, from 'genetics'. It's, uh, the science of inheritable traits and how they work. Greenbough's working on an early iteration, but it's a lot more advanced in my world. I figured the Covenant had some geneticists, actually, given the ARK thing. Creating a chimera Pokémon would be...

    "I mean, I work for her, so yes, I've met her. I'm a geneticist back home myself." 'Distantly descended' probably made sense. She clearly hadn't had any prior understanding of genetics; as far as he could tell she'd just been working it out on her own through her scientific intuition. So...

    Dave squinted at Articuno, the many words and answers that had been forming in his head temporarily shunted to the side. "Hang on. Professor Greenbough is a member of the Covenant? She's not human, is she?"

    Dave blinked at Articuno's story. This whole thing, the elite society of humans with pretenses of greatness, originated as a support group for superpowered misfits because they were ostracized? It sounded fucking ridiculous, and yet. That was exactly what'd happened to Brisa according to Gerome...

    Matthias had maintained he was working against the Covenant from within. So was he working against the Sable Office? Or was the Sable Office as a whole working against the rest of the Covenant? Was it a good idea to bring that up to Articuno? "So this Sable Office, the intelligence department...

    Dave peered at Articuno. Okay. So they acknowledged this institution had problems, and seemed less than happy with the paternalistic attitudes and dodgy politics. That was something. "Okay, well, if you're concerned about the paternalistic shit, heads up that you really want to be addressing...

    The whole secret mist-covered island thing struck Dave as pretty pretentious, but then again, what else should he expect from somebody who led a secret society of elites. "Yeah, hi," he said to the giant bird. It was hard not to be aware of the size and power differential, Dark-type or no; some...

    Threadmarks: Dave and Articuno Discuss the Covenant

    At this point, Dave couldn't really get around it. A bunch of Wayfarers had decided to work with the Covenant, for some reason. Apparently the psychic Articuno was their leader. They wanted the Wayfarers to help them root out corruption within the organization or some shit, and people seemed...
