• 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..." Andre sighed quietly. Andre almost took her first words seriously, so used to getting this question already, but realized she was kidding just in time. Not just that, her next words made him quiet. She was a murderer? Who had she killed? Had they deserved it? Probably, but could he...

    "It's fine," Andre muttered. He thought a little bit about Odette's question. It probably had been Ellie's boyfriend that started it all. Before that, abuse had felt distant. Then it was right in front of him, and he saw how much pain it caused... But, really, he wouldn't have started killing...

    Andre hesitated, but nodded. "Hitmen aren't exactly known for their morals," Andre said. "I figure the less money I give to criminals, the better." Never mind the fact that he still gave thousands of pounds to those criminals when he needed a body to disappear, sometimes a car as well. It was...

    "Well -- I'm not the only one capable of it in the world, obviously, but I mean in my own community," Andre said. "Or, shit, I guess there could be more like me and they just know how to keep it under wraps. But I know myself, and I know that I can stomach hurting people. I don't like that I'm...

    Psychopath. Yeah. Everyone he told thought he was a psychopath. Did that mean that he really was one? No. He wasn't a psychopath. He would explain to Odette exactly why he wasn't. Then Odette finished what she was saying with a curveball. "Wh... no," Andre said, confused. "No, nothing...

    Andre watched with unease as the mawile torched the bush. He hoped that wouldn't be him soon. At her question, he swallowed and cleared his throat. "As of now... nine. They'd done... physical and verbal abuse - on exes, siblings, pokémon on their team. Sexual grooming, harassment, assault. Hate...

    Andre froze, caught too off guard by what was happening to resist. He was expecting disgust - or, less likely, a 'hell yeah' - but not this. "Wh- the Combs?" he got out, his little deer heart racing. "The Combs just showed me some random shit from Ridley's life. I didn't learn anything about...

    "No, no, no," Andre said. "I don't bait them into doing problematic things. I bait them into confessing about problematic things they've already done. And my aura sense allows me to tell when people are lying, so I know if they're just making shit up or exaggerating to sound cool or badass. I...

    Andre swallowed. "Maybe I should just explain what I do. My process is, that I, uh, go to a bar - a gay bar - and watch people until I find someone who seems like an asshole. I don't do what I do because they're just assholes, though, no, I... well, anyway, I watch them until they're ready to...

    "Well, it's not that I'm just giving in - if I don't tell people, Ridley says he will, and he's definitely gonna make it sound worse than I would," Andre explained. "But, yeah. If you're listening..." He scratched his chin with a hoof. "When we had our first conversation, you told me about all...

    "Well..." Andre glanced elsewhere. Maybe it was good to cushion this with something else, first. "First off, congrats to your boss for winning the election. That was great to see," he said. Then, after a pause, he continued. "The reason I sought you out wasn't to say that, though. Thing is..."...

    Andre spotted the familiar mawile on a bench. He looked around - no one else in the immediate vicinity. He took a deep breath in and let it out. Okay. Andre had told Ridley that he'd told Dave, but Ridley had still wanted him to tell more Wayfarers. Keeping in the vein of people he had spoken...

    Andre sighed, relieved. "Okay." He thought for a moment whether he wanted to say anything more. He couldn't think of anything. "I'll just be leaving, then," he said, walking to the door. "I'll let Ridley know about this. We'll see if he needs me to tell anyone else." He gave Dave one last...

    "Of course," Andre said. "The thing that makes me seek out new targets over and over again is my wish to see justice realized and my sense of duty. Nothing else." That was true. While the intense fear of a human being who knew they were going to die was very pleasing to Andre's aura sense, it...

    "No," Andre said. "Not only do I not know how I would even go about it, I don't have the resources or aura sense here that I have back home, so I wouldn't get enough insight into a potential target to judge them reliably." He paused. "Then again, if it's someone like Alexander - and it isn't the...

    Andre's jaw tensed, and the radiance threatened to return. This was bullshit. No one could handle the truth - two examples already showed that - so no one should be told. Still, there wasn't a single fiber in Andre's body that wanted to kill Dave. Dave was still a good person. Not evil, at the...

    For a little deer, the sight of a predator baring its fangs would never fail to bring a surge of adrenaline. That hormone, combined with growing Radiance, was a volatile combination. But it did not combust. It was close, but mercifully just short of it. A sudden wave of cool self-reflection...

    Andre would have felt wounded. Andre would have felt like it was a deep stab into the very core of his being with a spear wrapped in barbed wire. Andre would have begun to break, his innermost doubts pouring out of the cracks of the barriers he'd built around that condensed little ball of fear...

    Andre clenched his jaw and looked Dave directly in the eye. If he was going to admit to this, he wasn't going to be a pussy about it. "Yes."

    Well, there was that cold creeping in again. The thought that he was in the wrong. The thought that he'd always been in the wrong. That he never should have killed anyone, never should have even paid for a hit on the scumfuck that extorted Ellie. But no, how could that be? How could he be in...
