• 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?

    Articuno's beak seemed to turn up in amusement at Gladion's sarcasm. They weren't the type to let such a thing ruffle their feathers, then. If anything, it seemed the remark endeared him to the legendary bird. "Well, if that's all that we should discuss before we part today," they began, their...

    Articuno nodded thoughtfully, the afternoon sun glinting on their feathers. "That must be a strange predicament for you all – to not know so much as the appearance and origin of your patron. Nor, apparently, your objective that you must complete. I have to say, I would find that sort of working...

    "Hmm... That is well." Articuno could have meant that, or perhaps they thought it a weak answer – who could say? The bird nodded. "Of course. I intend to transport you to my station – there is some suitable terrain for the purpose there, uninhabited by thinking pokémon and absent of...

    "Excellent. I look forward to it. Bring your best – I will not hold back." Articuno looked almost cocky for a moment, before making another whistle-sigh. "The responsibilities of a legendary pokémon are not codified in either legal documents or scripture. They are, I'm sure, fulfilling their...

    Articuno glanced to the sun – no doubt checking the time of day. "Tomorrow at noon would suit," they declared, lightly. "You needn't be troubled, Master Steven; there are roles into which I can place you that are not so athletic in nature." It was ever so subtle, but this might have been...

    Laura coughed lightly. "To, uh, a limited extent. I'd be willing to help, though." Even if that willingness derived from a desire to take this one opportunity to get inside the Covenant and ivestigate it generally, looking into whatever sub-faction may have created Sage was worthwhile on its...

    "Very well, Gladion. I did not wish to be over-familiar." Articuno made another whistle-sigh, pressing their beak against their wingtip. "Your reasoning is sound, Gladion, and I'm sure that you are both honest and correct in your assessment. However, it would be unwise to... 'throw my weight...

    Articuno glanced at Steven and bent a wing to the east. "I teleported here from the regional station where I do most of my work, across a distance of several hundred miles," they told him, evenly. "I'm afraid I can't disclose the precise location." Teleportation at distances like that were...

    Articuno unfolded a wing to make a chin-stroking gesture of thoughtfulness. "You ask quite an expansive question, Ms Bellatrix," they observed. So, they already knew at least some Wayfarers by name and species. "But yes, I have been aware of your group's existence for some time. Your recent...

    Nolan stared blankly at Gladion. "My Lord Articuno has heard everything you've said, young man." The lizard glanced at Archie and adjusted his hat to the sun. "I'm afraid not many words were exchanged, good sir. Having discreetly approached the individual in question to capture a...

    Nolan stared at Gladion, eyelid twitching, mouth ajar, as the chimera rambled on. Laura shot a sidelong glance at her friend as her internal organs anxiously shuffled their arrangement. "...When—?" came a whispered word through the Inteleon's thin, reptilian mouth. "You—" He shook his head...

    Nolan nodded cordially, sipping the last of his own wine and placing the glass delicately to one side. "I trust that you will comport yourselves appropriately," he began to say, before Gladion caught his eye. Nolan raised a brow. "You are a 'Graydian', are you not? Not a species I'm...

    Nolan gave Ridley a withering glance. "The Covenant does plenty of external communication. What do you think this meeting is, good sir?" He didn't wait for a reply. Nolan smiled drily at Odette. "You're familiar with telepathic communications yourself, are you not? I've noticed Wayfarers...

    Nolan turned a perplexed scowl towards Bellatrix, one hand clenching and unclenching. "Resources? What—? ...You mean Cipher? Hmph. Once again, I am an investigator, not a councillor. I had no part in any such decisions, and implied nothing of what you infer. I was tasked to investigate Cipher's...

    Gladion got a flicker of irritation (and confusion) from the lizard's face, but he made no reply. "...I gathered as much," he said, evenly. "As you may imagine, it is somewhat alarming to have this information confirmed. I can only speculate as to what it may portend... I should tell you that...

    Nolan reflexively made a sour face at someone not having 'done their homework' – the Inteleon was nothing if not a thorough researcher himself – but he returned to a dispassionate expression as he began to speak. "The Covenant is not exactly a public-facing organisation," clarified the reptile...

    Threadmarks: [Ch05] ~ The State of the World

    Inteleon Nolan had not remained wholly in Frontier Town during his expedition to the west, but after each of his excursions to parts of the frontier that drew his interest, he would return to the Sun Stone Saloon for the respite civilisation would bring. On his latest return to town, he posted...

    Nolan ran a fingertip against his temple, and hummed in thought – not disagreeably. "I wish you and your 'cohort' the best of luck, Ms Odette. In truth, Personnel will eagerly take any human hires they can find, whether there's gainful employment for them or not, but I imagine you won't be...

    "Is that so?" Nolan muttered to himself, quietly, as Odette clarified that her pokémon were sapient. The lizard's reactions were hard to read at the best of times but if anything, he seemed a little perturbed to imagine a trainer keeping sapients 'in line'. Whatever his real feelings, he didn't...

    "A detective? Fascinating. If you prove credible and competent, it's not impossible you might find a placement in my own department," murmured Nolan, thoughtfully. He drummed the fingers of one hand on the table, and sipped at his drink. "I know what a pokémon trainer is," he added...
