• 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?

    Novelux Teardrop Island

    "I mean, I work for her, so yes, I've met her. I'm a geneticist back home myself." 'Distantly descended' probably made sense. She clearly hadn't had any prior understanding of genetics; as far as he could tell she'd just been working it out on her own through her scientific intuition. So...

    Novelux Teardrop Island

    Dave squinted at Articuno, the many words and answers that had been forming in his head temporarily shunted to the side. "Hang on. Professor Greenbough is a member of the Covenant? She's not human, is she?"

    Novelux Teardrop Island

    Dave blinked at Articuno's story. This whole thing, the elite society of humans with pretenses of greatness, originated as a support group for superpowered misfits because they were ostracized? It sounded fucking ridiculous, and yet. That was exactly what'd happened to Brisa according to Gerome...

    Novelux Teardrop Island

    Matthias had maintained he was working against the Covenant from within. So was he working against the Sable Office? Or was the Sable Office as a whole working against the rest of the Covenant? Was it a good idea to bring that up to Articuno? "So this Sable Office, the intelligence department...

    Novelux Teardrop Island

    Dave peered at Articuno. Okay. So they acknowledged this institution had problems, and seemed less than happy with the paternalistic attitudes and dodgy politics. That was something. "Okay, well, if you're concerned about the paternalistic shit, heads up that you really want to be addressing...

    Novelux Teardrop Island

    The whole secret mist-covered island thing struck Dave as pretty pretentious, but then again, what else should he expect from somebody who led a secret society of elites. "Yeah, hi," he said to the giant bird. It was hard not to be aware of the size and power differential, Dark-type or no; some...

    Threadmarks: Ch08 :Dave and Articuno Discuss the Covenant

    At this point, Dave couldn't really get around it. A bunch of Wayfarers had decided to work with the Covenant, for some reason. Apparently the psychic Articuno was their leader. They wanted the Wayfarers to help them root out corruption within the organization or some shit, and people seemed...

    Offscreen Activities

    Dave attends the Escarpa party, of course; it's free booze, so why not. There's singing and fighting and everyone's trying to bed each other. Dave has drunk enough to almost start thinking about trying to chat up some of the Escarpa girls before he remembers they're all a bunch of fucking...

    Is there anyone else still here?

    vBulletin was the forum software, but it was never the host, so it never lived anywhere under vbulletin.com (unlike with Invisionfree). It's XenForo now, though (but, again, not hosted by XenForo).

    Is there anyone else still here?

    Honestly I don't think Discord is even maliciously out killing forums. Forums were declining before Discord got popular - the main thing is most people use big social media sites or apps to socialize online these days, rather than seeking out independent websites. But also, the live chat element...

    I Need Help Solving The Crossword

    I'd be excited to see how it goes! Two people got 41/41 correct shortly after this crossword came out, but the current third place is someone with 40/41 who submitted in 2020. There have been a scattered few 39s throughout the years, one 38, and a couple with 21/22.

    Malantau Eremus Fault

    Dave sat down to catch his breath after they'd downed the dragon, legs still shaking with adrenaline. He half-expected Alexander to just dissolve into black smoke, never to be seen again. Instead, Mhynt decapitated him only for the head to be talking on the ground for a bit afterwards, and he...

    Malantau Eremus Fault

    The dragon had lost one of his arms, yelling and screaming ineffectually like a cartoon villain. It was pathetic, really. The buzz of Radiance thrummed in Dave's veins alongside the cold Shadows. He hadn't expected Gerome to burst in with doppelgangers of him and several others on his back; for...

    Malantau Eremus Fault

    They'd kicked Alexander out, just like that, and destroyed the shadowy Moltres, and then leapt in through the portal, into the rift. And here was the dragon himself, again. Dave was exhausted. This had all gone on far too long, Shadows lapping at his edges. But here they were, joining the...

    Sojaveña Wilds Doorway to Huzan

    The Shadows closed in. It was becoming hard to breathe, thick dark miasma flooding his lungs as he inhaled, filling him with a cold that permeated his tissues, simultaneously icy and burning, and he couldn't stop himself shivering. Alexander was here, promising to kill them slowly, and Moltres...

    Sojaveña Wilds Doorway to Huzan

    The Shadow bird seemed fixated on Moltres. Which meant two things: one, she'd probably keep it off them, and two, whatever Moltres was doing was working to piss it off. Dave panted behind a rock, shivering as he downed a berry for his injuries, fur charred. "Moltres," he called, "whatever...

    Sojaveña Wilds Doorway to Huzan

    Why the fuck was it always fire. The wisp's attack was nothing, really, but it left a lingering burn that made his skin feel sensitive and delicate and raw. He scarfed down a Heal Seed as he sharpened his claws again, ignoring the wisp in favor of putting on speed to dash back up where the...

    Sojaveña Wilds Doorway to Huzan

    Jesus fuck. Dave's heart hammered as the ground rumbled, Shadows bursting out to form into a facsimile of the other Moltres. "Hang on, I'll..." He sharpened his claws as he clambered over the rocky ground, trying to concentrate as cold tendrils of Shadow rose up all around. He was still...

    Sojaveña Wilds Doorway to Huzan

    The landing was about as awful as expected, a sudden plunge and then an abrupt fall into an ungainly roll. Dave pushed himself to his feet, wobbling and thoroughly nauseous, and reminded himself never to come near Moltres ever again after this. Once in the dungeon, though, she started acting...

    Sojaveña Wilds Doorway to Huzan

    Dave had really thought they would, you know, actually have a plan, hear about rumours of corrupted dungeons and strategize about who should go where, but no, Moltres just fucking grabbed him and took off. What the absolute fuck. His yelps of protest fell on deaf ears, and he didn't keep trying...
