• 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?

    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...

    Auranosa Walled Gardens

    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...

    Auranosa Walled Gardens

    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...

    Tenacinde Canal Boneyard

    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...

    Sojaveña Wilds Dusty Highway
    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...

    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...

    "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...

    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...
