• 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?

    Frontier Town Civic Courtyard

    She’d wanted Andre to say exactly what he meant; make it clear that he was on the same wavelength as her. Assholes; meaning abusers, murderers, rapists like him. But the runaround answer she’d got would have to do. Someone who ‘committed actual abuse’ couldn’t be anything less than what she was...

    The longer Andre spoke, Odette could practically feel the concern etching its way onto her face. Multiple questions and comments bubbled up to the tip of her tongue, ranging from, “Andre, I think you’re having a psychotic break” to, “Where the hell are you going with this?” But, she couldn’t...

    Odette knit her brows, her lips curling into a pensive frown. Ridley would make it sound worse? What the fuck had he seen? She did vividly remember that first conversation they had. How much he’d beamed about her vague retellings of what she’d gotten up to back in her home world. He just seemed...

    She nodded, feeling a grin poking at the corners of her lips. “I agree,” she said. “If he’s as good a mayor as he was a boss, then this little town’s in great hands.” Though, she had a sneaking feeling that wasn’t what he was here to talk about, and her suspicions were confirmed without her...

    That time, her laugh was a little more genuine. She let it linger, trying to enjoy some form of lightheartedness in the conversation at hand. "Sure, I guess," she agreed. "I get a break from the demons but get thrusted into Shadow and Radiance shit alongside a group of human descendants that I'm...

    She had to laugh at Dave's comment. "Now that you brought it up, actually, the concept of a world inhabited by only Pokemon is a fucking video game franchise where I'm from. So. I get it the idea of 'all this sounds made up.' Because yeah, it does. If I woke up in my bed tomorrow recovering from...

    "Yeah, professors like that exist in my world too. But there's some sort of special distinction of being a Pokemon Professor specifically. They study all kinds of things related to Pokemon, from species themselves to the very things that allow them to do what they do, even to mere theories that...

    "No fucking way," she snickered, raising her hands in a half defensive stance. "I'm 25. I don't think I have the higher brain development to pull something like that off no matter what advantages I happen to have. I didn't even know any of this until I was 22." She shook her head again. "No...

    There was no humor in Odette's laugh. "Yeah, that would be the proper thing to do, wouldn't it?" she asked. She evidently wasn't expecting an answer, because she kept talking. "He's the most wanted person in my world. I wish I wasn't exaggerating, but he's broken something like a hundred laws...

    A light magenta pulsed across her cheeks for a moment. Of course, he was probably way too busy to deal with that many kids on his own; naturally he had help and naturally, they probably weren't calling him dad. The word 'idiot'lingered in her mind, but she coughed in order to clear it and the...

    Odette was shaking her head now. First the kids have to deal with being targeted by a murderous cults, only to have the government turn around and limit their rights in the aftermath. After going what she went through in terms of cults, she couldn't imagine being relegated to an indoor body for...

    Ah. That was why, and how, Dave was familiar with cults. She wasn't sure why she was surprised. It wasn't like cults couldn't exist in other worlds. But to go as far as to target kids, just because they were...morphs. She was trying not to focus too hard on that aspect of the issue at hand...

    Frontier Town Civic Courtyard

    The sound of a throat clearing yanked her out of her page, and she flicked her eyes up to meet Andre’s. The sight of him prompted her to straighten her posture (she hadn’t realized she was slumping, good gods), and she slowly flipped her book shut. “Oh, hey,” she greeted, giving him a quick...

    Odette pursed her lips knowingly, nodding along with Dave’s explanation. “Yeah, I’m not quite at the point of wanting to bash my head into a wall when I hear the word, but I definitely understand the sentiment,” she said. She had admittedly foregone looking too deep into the concept of “aura,”...

    “Not…quite,” Odette said, the words sliding from the corner of her mouth. “I’ve come to deduce that it’s not her, but they’ve somehow taken on her personality, I guess,” she said. Her beak wrinkled in disdain, as if she was already aware at how asinine she sounded. “I didn’t know mawile jaws...

    Odette brought both her hands up to rub at her face tiredly. "Oh, brother," she said under her breath as she exhaled. "Well, Christ, if you wanted me to give you the entire detailed rundown of my absolutely fucked existence then we probably could have skipped right to getting those drinks. I...

    Odette snickered. “Probably exactly what you’d expect,” she said. “She induces anger in people. Vengeance, hatred, resentment, fits of violence, that’s all her. She’s drawn to those emotions, since it’s kind of implied she’s the reason they happen in the first place. She can sense those feelings...

    She nodded along with his explanation, offering the occasion “mhm” and “yeah” to indicate she was following along and invested in what he was saying. “Too bad my mum’s not here,” she replied. “You and her would probably have a lot to talk about.” She realized she probably wasn’t going to be...

    Odette squinted at him, though it seemed to be more because she was mulling something over in her own head, and not because she was scrutinizing his question. “…neither,” she said with an air of finality. “They are creepy. There is some fucking asshole who thinks he’s a prophet and likes to...

    Threadmarks: [Ch07] Murder is a Spectrum (Andre & Odette)

    Recovering from the bullshit that was that stupid Comb took a few days. Perhaps longer. Even sitting on her favorite bench in the courtyard, staring blankly at her songbook, she still didn’t feel great. That lingering knot in her chest had been momentarily numbed during the celebration of her...
