• 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?

    Vessels. Blood vessels. It was almost funny, if not for how unsettling the whole idea sounded. They could just suck out the host's blood, but... simply didn't? Sounded a whole lot like sucking out a soul to feed on, but... well, it seemed like her possession and the unknown type thing were tied...

    Frontier Town Industrial Park

    Well. Kimiko had been prying for info, and she certainly got what she'd asked for. Firstly, right off the bat came the confirmation; Odette had infiltrated some cult of her own and she felt she could put that experience to use against Nolan. Kimiko wasn't sure whether to be impressed or wary...

    Frontier Town Industrial Park

    When she'd finished, Kimiko had just shrugged, curious to see how Odette would react to a proper summary of her ghost history. But a response didn't seem forthcoming... All she did was stare and blink. Nothing more. Why is she just staring at me. Clearly something Kimiko said caused Odette to...

    So Odette had been subject to some of Isidora's anti-human snark, too. Yeah, that right there was a small-scale example of why Kimiko was trying to keep her own status under wraps. Keeping a mental tally was tiring, but so far she could only recall four people she'd flat out openly admitted it...

    Frontier Town Industrial Park

    The snivy leaned in to snatch Odette's hand with one of her own tiny leaves, rather than a vine. She wasn't sure why, but it felt more personal. "Kimiko Tomori, and trust me, the pleasure's mine." She was somewhat surprised by Odette having a similar experience with their sneasel teammate. At...

    "It's not fine," Kimiko replied with a sigh, although she appreciated the gesture. They were starting to mend the bridge, and that had been all she'd wanted from the start of this. She didn't want to ruin that. But it didn't feel fair to just pretend the last month didn't happen. Now that they...

    Kimiko held her glare. If Odette wanted to fight about it, so be it. She was ready. Not what she'd intended at all, but if that's what it took to make her understand... Odette had listened silently the whole time she'd monologued, and her expression had... not quite softened, but the aggression...

    Frontier Town Industrial Park

    The way Odette stepped back and rubbed her head made Kimiko think she'd had a headache. Finally, something they could agree on- "Not ghost-types?" she asked, skeptically. "The fuck does that mean?" It was the mention of a multiverse finally made her back down a beat. That would answer so much...
  9. Shadow Serenity

    Frontier Town Industrial Park

    For a moment, Kimiko thought maybe she'd gotten through. Odette had started to pull back, as though she'd come to some sort of realization. Maybe they could finally make some progress here. But that moment passed when the mawile started speaking again. "I don't know the full story behind why...

    Frontier Town Industrial Park

    On instinct, Kimiko took a step back as Odette began to approach her. Her initial reaction had been surprise, and there was no doubt it was written all over her face. But that surprise wasn't due to her closing the gap between them, but rather how quickly personal Odette had gotten with her life...

    Frontier Town Industrial Park

    Kimiko simply blinked confusion at Odette's reaction. It took her a second to get started, but once she did, Kimiko deflated a bit in relief. So it hadn't been the thing from the watchtower. That helped to settle her nerves a bit. She nodded, just to show she followed so far. But then, what was...

    "Oh, um... hey." Yep, there's the greeting, about ten seconds too late. At least that awkwardness, she could explain. 'Step one: initiate contact' was a success. ...Sort of. She hadn't been shooed away at least, although she wondered if she'd been interrupting... feeding time, perhaps? Did...

    Frontier Town Industrial Park

    An empty lot wasn't where Kimiko normally came to practice, but she found it wasn't terrible, either. She'd tried her normal spot near the outskirts, of course, but the area had been occupied, and it was too noisy to focus. She'd been in this area once before and recalled it being relatively...

    Dreams

    Kimiko let out a tired sigh. Not directed at Powehi or anyone else in particular, just an expression of exasperation. "We've already been through so much uncertainty, and no doubt more still to come. I appreciate your ... intent, but sometimes, there's merit in simply being blunt." Despite...

    A partial answer. Or maybe they were meant to read between the lines. Kimiko wasn't sure. But she noticed Powehi's reply didn't mention Stranger at all, nor did it mention Starr's current location or well-being, which... seemed to bother Jade, for some reason. It made some sense, she supposed...

    Dreams

    Kimiko couldn't help but feel a little lost. Between the demonstration of Radiance and now the revelation of this... this Dark Matter, it called itself? The shadow... corruption that they'd so far been seeing as their enemy was now inside them all somehow? And they were no longer dealing with...

    Sojaveña Wilds Escarpa Clan Camp

    Kimiko had gone silent while Jade explained what she knew. For some reason, she had been almost expecting the chieftain to respond with some form of 'she's always in trouble'. And while she hadn't quite said that, she did seem notably unperturbed by the news. Curious, but calm. Her part done...

    Sojaveña Wilds Escarpa Clan Camp

    That was... a good question. The Wayfarers didn't really have a 'leader' exactly... unless one counted Betel, being the one responsible for bringing them all here. Would that look bad? Perhaps they should have chosen a speaker before the meeting... too late now. Still, someone had to talk...

    Sojaveña Wilds Escarpa Clan Camp

    The casual banter between Halcón and the zangoose called Lluvia brought a small grin to Kimiko's face and eased that knot in her gut a bit. A small but significant reminder that these were not the savages that some would have them believe. She made a mental note of each important location the...

    Sojaveña Wilds Escarpa Clan Camp

    Kimiko looked around the camp with growing apprehension. This was it, this was the meeting she'd been looking for. But now that it was here, now that she'd heard Halcón's recount of their history, now that they had the clan's children ogling their arrival... she felt a knot in her gut. She took...
