• 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?

    Little Scriven Frosty's Frozen Flights

    With Koa’s prolonged silence, Odette forced herself to glance at him, only to see his eyes had narrowed. A chilly sensation tickled the back of her neck as spectral memories of the time following that thing crept into her mind. How some of those people looked at her. How she wished they’d just...

    Little Scriven Frosty's Frozen Flights

    She supposed it felt nice to know that Koa trusted her enough to entrust her with this information. Archie only knew because they went into into the combs together, but he’d told her himself. “Your secret’s safe with me,” she said. And she meant it. Whatever warmth had managed to find its way...

    Little Scriven Frosty's Frozen Flights

    Odette fought off the urge to cringe. He sounded like he was going to cry. Fuck. He sounded like he was going to cry. She didn't know how to deal with that. She was already in a state, but being in a state and dealing with the state of someone else? But, he didn't cry. Rather, he met her with a...

    Little Scriven Frosty's Frozen Flights

    Odette’s face scrunched up, even as she held his gaze. She was suddenly very glad she’d asked him to talk about this with her, because who the fuck else would be able to know where he was coming from? Or be able to answer the questions he was asking? Unless there was someone else with a...

    Little Scriven Frosty's Frozen Flights

    At first, she showed no immediate reaction. She just stared at him, processing his reveal. Then she settled back against her seat. “Huh,” she breathed. She didn’t know what to feel at first. She felt sorry for him, of course. She was angry for him, too. What was it with these psychopaths...

    Little Scriven Frosty's Frozen Flights

    Right. Because if they’d succeeded in “making the world perfect,” Koa likely wouldn’t have been sitting before her struggling to talk about it. Though, if Team Enigma had been any proof, typically when a large, organized groups sought to “make the world perfect,” the fine print of that goal...

    Little Scriven Frosty's Frozen Flights

    Now, Odette was tracing the rim of her glass, still nodding. “Mhm,” she said. All names she recognized. Perhaps with varying degrees of success in their endeavors, compared to what they accomplished in her world, but still names she knew. “Galactic…” she repeated. That was the group that gave...

    Little Scriven Frosty's Frozen Flights

    She quirked a brow. Did the cavern show him Mt. Coronet? She recalled him saying he’d never climbed it, but she didn’t say anything. Instead, she settled for watching him try to figure out how to elaborate. “Yes. I’m familiar with those names,” she said with a few nods. “They’ve uh…been...

    Little Scriven Frosty's Frozen Flights

    Now she looked fully alert. And not for a good reason. “I—” Odette didn’t know what stunned her more. The idea of actually talking about that thing with Koa or the fact that he was fucking right. She had said something like that to him, a while back. In an effort to get him to come clean about...

    Little Scriven Frosty's Frozen Flights

    He wasn't expecting the dungeon to do that. Well, that made two of them. It wasn't enough to fight through Kimiko's trauma--because holy fucking shit--but she had to find out that Kimiko had fought through hers. How had the cave even known all of that? How did it know that Kimiko was carrying...

    Little Scriven Frosty's Frozen Flights

    Words. Someone was talking to her. Someone was sitting across from her now, talking to her. Look up. Odette didn’t know how long it took her to finally regard Koa. It could have been a minute, or it could have been 10. Maybe more. She eyed him for a while, her pupils struggling to focus on him...

    Little Scriven Frosty's Frozen Flights

    There were only a handful of things Odette vehemently hated doing. Going to the doctors, fraternizing with people she harbored homicidal rage toward, and talking about that thing. That last one had unfortunately been forced in this scenario. Kimiko had been gracious about it. She saw the whole...

    She scoffed. “Yeah. For everyone’s sake, I really hope so too,” she said. The lack of pity in his tone was appreciated, and she indicated as such by sighing and shaking her head again. “Shit happens.” She picked up her songbook again and flipped it open to another blank page. She began to...

    She narrowed her eyes at him. Why did he sound like that was shocking to him? He was the one fucking doing what he was doing, anticipating that others were going to shun him, so why did he sound taken aback that someone agreed? Probably because it was asinine. Why the hell would anyone...

    Odette laughed humorlessly. "That sounds like code for 'Dave cursed you out,' huh?" Yeah, that felt par for the course. She wanted to curse Andre out herself, and she agreed with him. Fuck. At his question, she quirked a brow suspiciously. "Why? Will that put me on your hit list?" Sarcasm...

    Odette studied Andre for a long while. At some point while he was talking she began to rub slow, hard circles into her temple, as if what he was saying was giving her a headache. Before the silence between them could grow too awkward, she scoffed. "Anyone's fucking capable of taking a life if...

    Her gaze on him was unwavering. She stood sentry in the grass, listening to him ramble through his case. She thought back to the first time they'd spoken; how he'd introduced her to the word 'slacktivism' as he talked about what little charity work he'd done. At the time, she'd pegged him as a...

    Frontier Town Civic Courtyard

    "You have to?" she shot back. "You're the only one capable?" She didn't know why she sounded so mad. Most of what he was saying was right. Make people like that disappear into a ditch or shallow grave so they can't hurt anyone anymore. From a black and white standpoint, that was ideal. At...

    First it was nine. Then it was 11. More than her. Hate crimes, grooming, assault, abuse, extortion, rape. Deserved. He hired a hit on one of them. The one he seemed to be closest to, so maybe that was to better cover tracks? Why did it matter? He hired a fucking hitman to kill someone...

    Frontier Town Civic Courtyard

    Her eyes bore into his, willing some sort of answer that would stop her from beating his head in. She almost couldn’t hear his response over the blood pulsing against her ears, or the ragged breaths tearing their way out of her lungs. However, when his answer registered with her, the rage was...
