• 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?

    "I'm sure if Beetle'd had the time to know what they were getting into, they'd have chosen someone better for the job," Leaf snorted. She moved past Virga and toward the strange screens. Nova was right, it wasn't really the time... but it felt way easier to be annoyed than some of the other...

    ...Oh. Well, that was easy. Easier if they'd actually found anyone else along the way, but the one person who had any shot at all at fixing Beetle was definitely the next best thing. None of the languages the professor cycled through meant all that much to her, but the telepathy'd been doing...

    Well, at least the kitten was taking better to Lily's babytalk than he had. "Just... don't go running off, okay?" Blue squinted at their surroundings one more time. Even leaving aside the haze kicked up by the rain, it was hard to make out where they'd even go next. Just... follow the trench...

    Leaf wanted to say more, demand to know why she thought she had the right to speak to Jade like that, but Jade herself was busying herself with Beetle's body now. If she didn't want to get into it right now, fair enough. It wasn't really Leaf's place to say. (But it wasn't fair, either.) She...

    Lugia? Wait, really? How... oh. Oh. Now it made sense, the way that cold, appraising stare had felt so familiar— The sensation of falling, falling, falling, a massive winged shape looming dispassionately overhead, psychic pressure all around and in her head insisting that there was no point—...

    Auranosa Walled Gardens

    The relief that went through her on hearing Jade's voice—even if the words made no sense—and seeing the meowth waving at them from above was immeasurable. How had she gotten dragged here, though? She hadn't even been at the mesa. Had something happened to all of them? Leaf moved to stand by the...

    Blue narrowed his eyes at the mawile. Didn't need fancy dog hearing or to know what the words were to make out the dismissive tone. "Must be so rough for you," he muttered, "actually being able understand people and have half an idea what's even going on." He had half a mind to see how well she...

    "Sooner" it was, then. Virga'd already taken off in the direction of whatever she'd noticed. (Kind of a relief when she turned away, honestly. Nicer than being scrutinized like she'd somehow done something wrong again.) It felt better to be moving again, in the sense that they were finally...

    Auranosa Walled Gardens

    Leaf jumped when a different voice entered her head, but relaxed on recognizing the name. Thank god, or speak of the devil, one of those. At least one more Wayfarer who hadn't been dropped in the middle of the ocean or something. "No, it's fine if you want," she sent back. "We already told her...

    "Maybe?" She'd sure feel a lot better if they were, because then she'd know they were safe. That wasn't how it'd gone the first time, though. "But when we were brought here, we did accidentally get scattered to a bunch of different places." All within a few days of Frontier Town, at least. This...

    Blue received an image of a magazine in kind, but a different one, with another picture of... wait, what? That wasn't... like, it looked like him, but... older??? Had somebody run one of those weird "age filter" things on this photo? Was that other guy supposed to be Red? Where was Leaf? And...

    Tenacinde Canal Boneyard

    Screams cut through the air, pinning Blue's ears back against his head and cutting off the next question he was going to ask. (Think. Whatever.) Revealing an absolutely shocking lack of structural integrity in this otherwise impeccably-managed hellworksite, one side of the trench gave way just...

    The borb continued to glare at her as it chirped... something at Nova. She had to focus on what the graydian was sending to get the gist of it. "No, I was human back home. But there can't be humans here—those are just the rules, I guess?—so I got turned into this when I agreed to help." She...

    The Whatever The Fuck That Was said something, bristling with annoyance. Blue was one twitch of those machete claws away from going "screw this" and bolting, but, mercifully, it stayed where it was. The ralts moved instead, holding out a hand and cooing at him like he was a baby, and the part of...

    Well, Nova could still speak to her telepathically, at least. (Still no response from anyone else.) Why wasn't he just talking out loud, though? The borb, meanwhile, continued to stare at her like she had three heads. Could it just... not understand them? (Was that the only reason? If they...

    Auranosa Walled Gardens

    Someone was... talking? Hard to tell; she couldn't really make out the words. (Different language? Conked on the head? Imagining things?) If it really was someone, though, then she had to know. Had to get up and see. Floor time over. (Assuming she didn't just collapse again.) The world did...

    Blue didn't know where he was. "Forlas" was not an answer, no matter how unhelpfully the last flickers of that stupid dream tried to insist on it, because that wasn't a word. "Outside, in the rain, currently hiding under a pile of long-forgotten equipment" was an answer, but it was also a...

    Leaf didn't know where she was. She also didn't really care, since figuring it out, let alone doing anything with that information, would have required moving, and no thank you she was fine here on the floor, actually. So she just let her head loll on the ground, trying to take deep breaths on...

    Threadmarks: [Ch08] Mother Knows Best (solo)

    [[...shortly before heading to Alexandria and beyond...]] You're supposed to be resting. Leaf ignored the hissing in the back of her mind and continued her run, galloping down the highway in the chill evening air. Or, well. It would've been really cool and stoic if she had ignored it...

    Sunward Atop Sunrest Mesa

    It was really nice, actually, for a couple minutes there. Amida was alive and curious and joking, which was miles better than the light-drowned dream she'd been stuck in before. Easy for Leaf to focus everything on the celebration, or what to do next, or cleaning up what was left of the Coven...
