• 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?

    "What are you implying?" hissed the serpent. "That you've subverted them? That it was all some— some elaborate trap? That the Federales have laid out a honeyed poison for me in our dealings...?" The baron lunged for Phantom, not so much as a martial attack, as in the manner of one picking...

    "You can't possibly out-bribe me," hissed Rodrigo, with as much contempt as disbelief. "What do I pay these cretins for, if they're too stupid not to take money from a damned outlaw?" He surged towards Phantom, having Coiled in preparation during the entire exchange – his massive bulk fell...

    Rodrigo's face shifted through several different expressions as he rapidly processed the arrival of this new Floragato irritant, his strangely reverberating voice, and the threat he'd issued. He moved through perplexity, befuddlement, stopped briefly in horror, and finally settled in abject...

    Esperanza's sensitive feline ears flicked. If the baron noticed, he didn't show it – and by all impressions, his attention was wholly on the Floragato in front of him. "Poison...?" gasped the cat. "Yes... Perhaps if you fled now, you'd stand a chance of survival. But I doubt you could escape...

    Rodrigo scoffed, drawing his body higher. He was an intimidating 'mon, several times larger than the diminutive cat in front of him. "In person or otherwise, I have no preference; I just want you handled. This is less personal than you'd like it to be, señorita. It is you who bears the greatest...

    He had new and unfamiliar powers indeed – the energies of this world abided by different rules to their counterparts in his own. However, there was similarity, too... At the edge of his proprioception, Phantom would feel a sense of his potential, quantified by the 'network' that bound him to the...

    Moving to the door, Phantom would easily perceive that Rodrigo's voice was approaching this room. He'd be inside in moments. Then, to the window, where— "Señor Twig??" hissed Esperanza, her brows high. "Should you not be with your comrades, 'uh?" She glanced at the door, the knob of which was...

    The device was sophisticated enough to have a sort of volume slider, which adjusted a baffle – a sound-directing panel – in the horn. By this means, Phantom could gentle the sound of the wax cylinder as it played... Enlightening... Not quite a smoking gun, but certainly an indication that...

    With the guards distracted, Phantom faced minimal obstacles in infiltrating the building. A whole cohort of watchmon might pose a challenge, but one or two? Ha! He could slip past them blindfolded! (Were it necessary, that is. Which it was not.) There was much to take in, naturally...

    Whether or not Phantom realised what, exactly, he was as he dashed towards the town's more noble quarter, it had little bearing on his ability to perform parkour or slip through shadows just as his real body would do. The facsimile of his fur and muscle was exact; this form even had breathing...

    Threadmarks: [Ch09] ~ The Thorn, the Phantom and the Voice

    While the party of Wayfarers unwittingly made off with their Servine stowaway, Esperanza had donned her mask and cape once again and leapt atop the awnings of the courtyard. In moments, she had crossed several rooftops and found her way to a clocktower from which to surveil the patterns of guard...

    Suspicious though they were, and presumably for reason enough, the reactions from Lillian and Blue were sincere enough to convince the samurai. "Well... That's disappointing, but things are as they are," mused Kotetsu. Kyoko glanced sidelong at him. "This is fortunate for us, I would say...

    This new development took the samurai completely off their guard. What could they say that wouldn't sound stupid or obstinate after that? "Hmph, it would seem so," conceded Kotetsu. "The same page, yes. Very good. It is well to see you, Thorn of Modareno. Were you able to relieve your opponent...

    Gladius, to his credit, didn't make a fuss. He understood the plan at once, and he was willing to try for the only route to deescalation available. He responded quickly, closing his eyes and concentrating on the task at hand... Moments later, he'd extended his illusion to 'Twig'. This would...

    "You'd think," muttered 'Lucario Iridium'. Kyoko – the Samurott – gave him a hard look. "We have to be sure you're who you say you are," she said, coolly. "It would be a terrible thing to let the wrong carriage through – or the wrong people on that carriage." Gladius gripped one wrist in his...

    Odette had just levelled an accusation which would make it difficult to save face. The Samurott blanched at this, and put a paw on the hilt of a shell-sword. "What is the meaning of this?" she asked, keeping her voice steady. Unoffended, but unwilling to mess around. Behind her, the Golisopod...

    "Thank you!! Um, ma'am." 'Vedette' choked down a pleased smile and kept her very serious guardsmon face as she assumed a spot in the carriage's passenger compartment. For a little while on, Isabella indulged in a little light conversation with her new 'comrades' – mostly small talk about...

    Isabella's gaze snapped to Lillian, and for a moment, it was unclear if any of the Ralts' advice had actually made it into the Servine's head. Then she snapped to attention, one vine saluting. "Yes'm. Guardia Vedette, on duty, ma'am." Gladius blew a percussive breath of amusement. "How many...

    Isabella nodded fervently, her scaled cheeks flushing slightly. "Y-yes, ma'am."

    Gladius frowned for a second, then nodded. "Sure. I can do that." It wasn't like it was hard. Maybe for some, but he'd mastered the skill a while back. And this idea wasn't half bad, actually. He pulled off his garb and tossed it over, shifting as he did so to a familiar form: Lucario Iridium...
