• 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?

    Sunward Atop Sunrest Mesa

    The robot volcarona—Amida—beeped, blinked, moved. Working. Alive. "I'm glad you're okay," Leaf said. Still a little choked up, but not out of frustration this time. "Where do you want to go? Wherever you think it'd be easiest for you to catch your breath." Except not that, because robot, but...

    Sunward Atop Sunrest Mesa

    "You know what? You're right!" Leaf laughed bitterly, but she couldn't look Odette in the eye any longer. "I'm sure I have no fucking idea what it's like for other people to try and dig their claws into every single part of my life without caring what I want or even bothering to explain why I...

    Sunward Atop Sunrest Mesa

    "If what we've been doing and saying here matters to you at all, then stop yelling at us." Leaf glared at Archie and Odette, her voice strained and cold. "Respect Amida like the person she is and explain to her why she shouldn't do it. Give her the information she needs to decide what's more...

    Sunward Atop Sunrest Mesa

    Leaf had never really bothered practicing telepathy before. Talking to and through Beetle, sure, but that was their thing, nothing to do with her being psychic now because unicorn. The telekinesis had been more useful (and cooler) so far. But now she was supposed to, what, somehow find one guy...

    Sunward Atop Sunrest Mesa

    Okay. Okay, she wanted to live stay, and maybe there was a way to fix this, okay, okay— —and then shouting. Leaf winced as the shadowy reverb hit her, ears back against her head with discomfort she hated shouting she hated it so much. And anger. "What about what Amida wants?" she snapped back...

    Sunward Atop Sunrest Mesa

    Everything shifted and then went solid, from standing to weightless to heavy as the last of the dungeon fell apart. They were still on the mesa but back on the mesa, now, the phantom equipment and scattering Coven techs Leaf had gleefully imagined herself crashing through suddenly very real and...

    Sunward Sun's Rest Mystery Dungeon

    But not as much. "Almost there, Amida. You're almost back home." Leaf glanced at the portal again, then turned away. Didn't matter now; the whole place was coming down around their ears. She charged, allowed herself a couple seconds' satisfaction imagining that she was smashing through the...

    Sunward Atop Sunrest Mesa

    Over the network: [How's it going out there? I don't think we can keep Amida in here much longer. She might be okay now? Maybe??? But you've gotta be ready in case she's not...]

    Sunward Sun's Rest Mystery Dungeon

    Everything around them was swimming, and Leaf might've been willing to pass it off as heat haze but at this point the whole mesa might well've been melting for real. They had to hold on just a little longer. (Could they hold on much longer?) Even through the heat and blinding light, there...

    Sunward Sun's Rest Mystery Dungeon

    The sky went white. The shade went white. It felt like the air above them was boiling, and even if she'd avoided being boiled herself Leaf could still feel the heat and light rising, rising, rising. She forced the sudden swooping of teleportation out of her mind and focused on attacking. Aim...

    Sunward Sun's Rest Mystery Dungeon

    Well, at least staring into this sun hadn't totally blinded her. Only almost. It was all Leaf could do to shake the searing white afterimages from her vision as she dropped back to the mesa, made harder by the voice (?) that carried from nowhere and everywhere. (Was that really so bad, though...

    Sunward Sun's Rest Mystery Dungeon

    They were too late. The Coven grunts had already awoken Amida. Which also, apparently, meant it was too late for them. Leaf made a valiant effort to avoid trampling the shiny suits currently flat out on the stone, where "valiant effort" meant vaguely kind of remembering to move around them and...

    Sunward Atop Sunrest Mesa

    Leaf had already disappeared into the portal, but her thoughts carried briefly across Betel's network: [Guys? There's something in that crate with the door. Two orange lights. Didn't have time to make out more than that. But I don't think you'd put a see-through door on a crate unless you...

    Sunward Atop Sunrest Mesa

    Shiny, reflective suits, that made sense... most of the grunts looking to cower behind the lizard lady, so probably easy enough to take out quickly if it came to it... Leaf tried to edge just a bit closer to the crate with the door, see if anything could be made out inside— 'Retrieve'... 'it'...

    Sunward Atop Sunrest Mesa

    She was released from her poké ball in a flash, ready for– uh. Talking? The big orange lizard was just talking, authoritative and calm, for all the world like they were supposed to be here even though she'd also literally just said she knew they weren't supposed to be here. Well, if she knew so...

    Sunward Atop Sunrest Mesa

    Leaf was becoming increasingly convinced that maybe Kotetsu shouldn't bring Victini back to Tsainan with him, even if his lord had supposedly meant it as a wild goose chase rather than a real thing. She'd really been looking forward to visiting Sunward and learning more—maybe get closer to...

    Tyrrier Islet of Light

    The last swarm of birds did dive for the coins, hell yeah, and got themselves stomped for their trouble. Murkrow murders: murked. Also Leaf could friggin' see again, that was probably important. Without the aftermath of a goth pillowfight blocking line-of-sight to the altar it was clear as day...

    Tyrrier Islet of Light

    This was, in Leaf's estimation, entirely too many birds. She could barely friggin' see for the cloud of black that choked the air in here. Each barrage of attacks gave her like three whole seconds to see how the ones who'd waded in closest to the honchkrow were doing before all the black...

    Tyrrier Reven Hollow

    He sure looked like he hadn't had any more trouble. Didn't see a lot of kidnap victims with perfectly crisp suits. "Glad to hear it!" How much were they allowed to tell people about what they were doing again? The dang rules kept changing all the time. "We were hoping to figure out what's going...

    Tyrrier Reven Hollow

    For a second there, charging through the woods with the Dog Squad felt almost like home. Like running in the evenings with Rey bounding by her side and ahead and behind and back again, yipping and chattering because he'd found yet another weird shiny thing just off the trail. (Or an enticing new...
