• 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?

    Betel's panelling seemed to glow with rosy light at Leaf's encouragement. They nodded a bashful thanks to her. Laura shrugged. "If we rush in against him, we're screwed. Supposedly we have enough time for this, at least." "Everyone should make any final preparations they deem necessary and...

    Laura took another sip from her glass, then wiped her mouth with the back of one paw. She still wasn't used to being... mostly quadrupedal. She still wanted to make human-like gestures. At least she still could drink normally, instead of having to lap at it. "Mostly," she affirmed. "But before...

    Laura bit her lip. Suddenly this felt less like she was giving a refresher on specific stuff, and more like she ought to give a thorough synopsis on everything. No way! "Well, I can try and cover the most salient stuff. The two big pieces of news are that Articuno recently staged a coup of the...

    Betel hummed pensively, seemingly oblivious to Koa's private distress. "Well, there could by a psychological inhibition of some kind. Or a physical health issue, but I would know about that if that were the case. I can guarantee you that you are in excellent physical health." The Porygon2...

    Betel bobbed brightly at Koa, their chassis glowing softly. "I am so pleased to hear that! I do hope you choose to evolve before the end of your time here, Koamaru. I would like to see you as a Manectric!" "MY body is made mostly of synthetic polymers and aluminium," answered Betel, in a...

    The Porygon2 somehow brightened as they turned to greet Koa with a polite, bobbing nod. "I am quite well, thank you, Koamaru! It is good to see you, too. When I was disembodied, I never had a true appreciation of everyone's appearance—only their aura signatures. You look... young and spirited...

    Threadmarks: [Ch10] ~ Recap & Recuperation

    "So, Betel, do you, uh. Want a drink? Like, I know you're obviously not organic, or at least you don't appear to be, but some mineraloids can eat and drink regular stuff. Unless, you're more of a computer, I guess? A robot? I'm sorry, I just want to be hospitable, but frankly you're a weird...

    Articuno's beak seemed to turn up in amusement at Gladion's sarcasm. They weren't the type to let such a thing ruffle their feathers, then. If anything, it seemed the remark endeared him to the legendary bird. "Well, if that's all that we should discuss before we part today," they began, their...

    Articuno nodded thoughtfully, the afternoon sun glinting on their feathers. "That must be a strange predicament for you all – to not know so much as the appearance and origin of your patron. Nor, apparently, your objective that you must complete. I have to say, I would find that sort of working...

    "Hmm... That is well." Articuno could have meant that, or perhaps they thought it a weak answer – who could say? The bird nodded. "Of course. I intend to transport you to my station – there is some suitable terrain for the purpose there, uninhabited by thinking pokémon and absent of...

    "Excellent. I look forward to it. Bring your best – I will not hold back." Articuno looked almost cocky for a moment, before making another whistle-sigh. "The responsibilities of a legendary pokémon are not codified in either legal documents or scripture. They are, I'm sure, fulfilling their...

    Articuno glanced to the sun – no doubt checking the time of day. "Tomorrow at noon would suit," they declared, lightly. "You needn't be troubled, Master Steven; there are roles into which I can place you that are not so athletic in nature." It was ever so subtle, but this might have been...

    Laura coughed lightly. "To, uh, a limited extent. I'd be willing to help, though." Even if that willingness derived from a desire to take this one opportunity to get inside the Covenant and ivestigate it generally, looking into whatever sub-faction may have created Sage was worthwhile on its...

    "Very well, Gladion. I did not wish to be over-familiar." Articuno made another whistle-sigh, pressing their beak against their wingtip. "Your reasoning is sound, Gladion, and I'm sure that you are both honest and correct in your assessment. However, it would be unwise to... 'throw my weight...

    Articuno glanced at Steven and bent a wing to the east. "I teleported here from the regional station where I do most of my work, across a distance of several hundred miles," they told him, evenly. "I'm afraid I can't disclose the precise location." Teleportation at distances like that were...

    Articuno unfolded a wing to make a chin-stroking gesture of thoughtfulness. "You ask quite an expansive question, Ms Bellatrix," they observed. So, they already knew at least some Wayfarers by name and species. "But yes, I have been aware of your group's existence for some time. Your recent...

    Nolan stared blankly at Gladion. "My Lord Articuno has heard everything you've said, young man." The lizard glanced at Archie and adjusted his hat to the sun. "I'm afraid not many words were exchanged, good sir. Having discreetly approached the individual in question to capture a...

    Nolan stared at Gladion, eyelid twitching, mouth ajar, as the chimera rambled on. Laura shot a sidelong glance at her friend as her internal organs anxiously shuffled their arrangement. "...When—?" came a whispered word through the Inteleon's thin, reptilian mouth. "You—" He shook his head...

    Nolan nodded cordially, sipping the last of his own wine and placing the glass delicately to one side. "I trust that you will comport yourselves appropriately," he began to say, before Gladion caught his eye. Nolan raised a brow. "You are a 'Graydian', are you not? Not a species I'm...

    Nolan gave Ridley a withering glance. "The Covenant does plenty of external communication. What do you think this meeting is, good sir?" He didn't wait for a reply. Nolan smiled drily at Odette. "You're familiar with telepathic communications yourself, are you not? I've noticed Wayfarers...
