• 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?

    Frontier Town The Wanderin' Zera

    Who on earth...? Psychic war? Steven narrowed his eyes at this Dayle fellow's wild accusations. 'Interesting,' Steven thought to himself, 'that such a momentous occasion didn't get a mention in the quarterly psychic-type newsletter...' Although... Right. The election. Yet another reason to pay...

    Frontier Town The Wanderin' Zera

    Steven was quiet for a beat, letting what Gerome said sink in. "You work here every day..." he began. "And Novalux, that's... not close to Frontier Town. Then... how often do you get to travel home to see them?"

    "Fascinating. And impressive," said Steven, tilting forward where he sat. Such a naturally gifted talent at such a young age. Gerome may have sounded dismayed, but there was genuine love in his words. A wistful smile crossed Steven's expression. "I'm sure you're proud of him, regardless of the...

    "Not sure if feels right to call it finished when there's still more to be done," Steven said, idly spinning the cup the barkeep had placed in front of him. What had Gerome served him anyway? It's not like he'd ever ordered a drink at the Zera, let alone something regularly. Wait. Was it...

    "Ah, straight from the source," said Steven. Seemed like some people went to the bar even earlier than Dave. "Glad she's doing alright." He snuck a peek at Grace, wondering if Mhynt had fared better or worse than she had in the encounter. "Last time..." Steven murmured, his gaze falling to the...

    "Oh," Steven said, eyeing the now-half-empty glass of whiskey with a wince of regret. That probably wasn't what Dave needed right about now. "No, I wasn't there. I found out about it afterward, same as you." He watched Grace with a look of sympathy, trying to figure out who looked more tired...

    Frontier Town The Wanderin' Zera

    Steven didn't frequent the Zera often. Not a whole lot for his species to do at an establishment where the primary activity was drinking. However, he'd since learned the Zera was a good place for other things, like conversation and information gathering. Which was why Steven found himself...

    "What? N-no, not a date!" he said a bit too quickly. Why was she getting so flustered? It was making him flustered. "Or cops." Steven took a moment to compose himself, breaking eye contact with Odette with a muted chime that sounded vaguely like a cough. "A plus one, let's call it that."...

    “My dad? Oh, no. It’s fine,” said Steven, looking slightly sheepish that he’d said what he said aloud, and to a complete stranger no less. “There’s more important things to worry about, coincidence or not.” He listened to Odette’s gut feeling, and while he couldn’t necessarily agree, he nodded...

    “You’re right, I don’t know. About the mayor, about this place, about anything. I’ve been here for about a week, give or take. Do I really have the grounds to vilify the mayor of this town on the word of some bandits? And say the bandits are right, and the mayor is corrupt, do they think they’re...

    Steven sat silent for a while, studying the tabletop in front of him with a serious look in his eye. "That sounds terribly messy," he said, finally. He fell silent again, before fixing Odette with a stare and a shake of his head. "We're strangers here, outsiders. We can't get involved in...

    Frontier Town The Wanderin' Zera

    If Odette were to be looking closely, she would have seen Steven’s eye narrow the tiniest bit at her floating pun, but he couldn’t maintain a straight face any longer at her next line. “Not again with the boat,” he said in fake exasperation, and when she gave him the oddest look, he shook his...

    Frontier Town The Wanderin' Zera

    Steven shook his head. "No, definitely not born here," he said with a slight laugh. He then eyed the seat next to the mawile. That settled it, she had to be with the rest of the group. "To tell you the truth," he admitted, "I'm not sure what I'm looking for either. All I know is there was...

    "Settle a score?" Steven blinked. "What? No, no, I just wanted to talk. Someone told me he might have some information relevant to, uh…" He paused, regarding the mawile for a moment. If she was talking with Dave, maybe she also was with their group. "You wouldn't happen to be an acquaintance...

    Threadmarks: Ch01: Late for a very important date (Steven and Odette)

    Having tipped his head at Silver in farewell, Steven turned back to the bar to address any unpaid drinks, but as he turned he spotted something out of the corner of his eye. A poochyena. A rather drunk poochyena, headed out of the saloon’s doors. "Dave?” he said aloud, but not loud enough for...

    Frontier Town The Wanderin' Zera

    After seeing the initial stunned look on Silver's face, Steven had been bracing for the worst. Not that Silver seemed like that kind of trainer, but he'd seen plenty of sensible people flip turn when they realized who he was. (Which usually happened a lot sooner than this instance.) Yet the...

    Frontier Town The Wanderin' Zera

    Steven smiled back with an upturned eye, and nodded in agreement. It was refreshing to meet a trainer who was such a kindred spirit. It wasn't wholly unusual-- most of the trainers he knew felt the same-- but meeting a total stranger in another time and another place who had so much in common...

    Frontier Town The Wanderin' Zera

    Steven hung onto every word Silver shared about his pokemon. He always believed the best way to get to know a trainer was how they talked about their partners, and the joy and enthusiasm that shone through Silver's story told Steven how much the young trainer loved and cared for his pokemon...

    Steven noticed Silver's gesture, and he lifted his own cup again, carefully to avoid spilling. "Right," he said, joining the toast. "To good conversation and company." He tipped the mug towards his face, but it wasn't clear if he drank anything. Steven's claw twitched, a reflexive movement of...

    Frontier Town The Wanderin' Zera

    "Ah, well," Steven began, looking a bit embarrassed again, "my friends always say I talk a lot when I'm nervous." He set the mug down without taking a sip. "I guess things don't change much even when they change a lot." Steven contemplated the mug in front of him a moment before replying...
