• 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 The Wanderin' Zera

    Brisa chuckled at Gerome's jests and nodded grimly at Dave's moral affirmation. "Y'know, folks're always sayin' about the frontier... that it's wild, that a 'mon can do as they like, make of themself what they please. I've not found that to be true, even afore the town started gettin' big. The...

    Frontier Town The Wanderin' Zera

    Brisa gave a short, sharp laugh. "Yeah, sure – I got a societal handicap on account of bein' hard as nails. That's fair play." She nodded along vaguely to Gerome's take on the Covenant. For all that she'd been hounded by its agents, there was something about the idea of misfits banding together...

    Frontier Town The Wanderin' Zera

    Brisa glanced at the Mimikyu with a dull expression, as if the absurdity of the sight didn't fully register. "You're a right martyr, Gerome," she drawled. "Jus' don't let 'em do any mischief, and I won't find any." She chuckled quietly and shook her head. "Anyways. Yeah, my pa was playin'...

    Brisa grunted in a non-committal fashion, sipping more of her drink. "He got hi'sself caught up in an endless stalemate with the Lanterns, is what happened. Dunno whether he fucked up, or what, but I've had my moments of thinkin' that if he'd just brought me an' my ma along, we'd have put paid...

    Brisa nodded, then pulled an ambivalent face. "While I was holed up in Whisperwind, I had all sorts a' weird fuckin'... Well, 'dreams' ain't the right word fer it. Insights, you could say. I got the outline of it, like a buried memory, just waitin' fer the right inspiration to push it to the...

    Frontier Town The Wanderin' Zera

    "Uhuh." The Luxio sighed into her drink. There was a lot of feeling in that sigh – longing, regret, fear, guilt... "Pretty sure they got a slew a' different places to drop folks in. I was in some holdin' cell in Magna City fer a spell, but fer all I know, Starr could'a been there near enough...

    Frontier Town The Wanderin' Zera

    Brisa's hackles rose immediately, something sharp and hot forming in her mouth. Then she recognised Dave, and eased up. "Jus' fine," she replied, glancing away – checking on other patrons – before indicating with a nod that Dave could take a seat. She sipped her whiskey while she composed...

    Frontier Town The Wanderin' Zera

    Brisa smiled weakly, and thumped the bar table lightly. "Well, I'll at least do what I can, Gladion. I was already set on checkin' in on Jade when I got a chance. Not that we got to know each too well or nothin', but we got some catchin' up to do all the same. 'Specially if you're at all right."...

    "No? I mean, I dunno. I thought..." Sonora swallowed some of her drink, and wiped her mouth with the back of a paw. "Fuck, okay, I guess we're doin' this then. Gettin' off the ballot an' everythin'." Brisa grinned, then turned to Gladion, a little weariness showing through past her...

    Frontier Town The Wanderin' Zera

    Brisa nodded appreciatively to Gladion, then turned back to Sonora, her amber eyes focused, purposeful. Now the Floragato was the one to be flustered... "Hey, now," she began. "None of that," interrupted Brisa. "What I'm hearin' is, you can lead an' inspire folks, you won justice when no-one...

    Frontier Town The Wanderin' Zera

    Sonora grinned at Gladion's appreciation. The Floragato soaked up attention like sunlight – apparently much in contrast with Brisa. "Yeah, maybe. Guess I'll find out, and 'til then I'm here to bounce any jackass outta this place any time." "Just fine, kid," murmured the Luxio. "Say, Sonora...

    Frontier Town The Wanderin' Zera

    Brisa pinched the bridge of her nose, and put back most of her remaining whiskey. "Be a sight less embarrassin' if you had, fella." Sonora smirked. "Nah, this was serendipitity at work, sir Gladion~ I'm sure Stiff Breeze would've made herself ill worryin', otherwise. To be fair, she had reason...

    Frontier Town The Wanderin' Zera

    Brisa flashed Gladion a look of afgast disbelief, her ears burning pink. "Ya might'a mentioned that earlier," she hissed. "Sky an' stars, I damn near jumped outta my fuckin' fur!" Sonora laughed into one paw, openly revelling in flustering her former friend. The Floragato shook her head and...

    Brisa groaned voicelessly, and dragged her carpals over her face. The kid had nothing in the way of reassurance – to their mutual discomfort – but he was right. "Fair enough," she replied, low-voiced. What would she say..? "I guess... I'd tell her I wish I'd been here when she played her...

    Brisa nodded, huffed through her nose. Moisture misted her glass. She traced a line through it with the tip of a claw, like a river, or a route on a map, or the stroke of a pen on paper. The moisture would disappear, the line would fade – but the path she'd taken was permanent, now. Part of...

    Frontier Town The Wanderin' Zera

    No reflexive answer. Not dumbfounded, just considering. Good. More folks ought to think before they spoke. She did the same before she replied. There was enough to think about, at least. Ignatius, in touch with Covenites? "What I'm hearin' is, you gave 'em a good enough reason to put a stamp...

    'Mohn'. Like... 'mon? Whatever the boy's family name, if he was an offworlder, the Wayfarers were his clan now, such as they were. But that wasn't for Brisa to tell him, not when they'd barely made an acquaintance... though meeting her eye and speaking honestly put him closer to friendship than...

    Frontier Town The Wanderin' Zera

    The last few seasons. Brisa had spent those walking east, through lonely plains and cities big and loud enough to deafen her. Back home, judging from what she'd learned so far, the town had come under attack from other offworlders, demons, outlaws, all sorts. If she'd been there... "I shoulda...

    Frontier Town The Wanderin' Zera

    It had been a long ride – back from Novelux, all the way to Frontier Town. As high-rises passed, then fields of corn, then badlands and Blaguarro, and finally the lush desert of home, Brisa had stared out of the window. Thinking. She'd left with Starr, full of hope, and now she'd returned...

    The Wandering Light nodded, and after finishing her glass, stood from her seat at last. Zeraora Luz was tall when she stood upright, and with such a striking appearance besides, it was hard to imagine how she'd avoid attracting attention as she traveled. Still, she pulled her cloak over her...
