• 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?

    Dakota chuckled. "Not many proper maps of the continent this far out, but I hear tell that the CA – that's the Commonwealth Army – have an expedition out in the region doing some kind of geographical survey. Maybe in a year or so we'll finally have some good maps of Sohavenia, or even the whole...

    Dakota smiled warmly and nodded in gratitude. "Thank you kindly, Mr Ghaspius. I'll gladly take a gin and tonic, if you'd be so kind." Nina went about preparing the drink as if she'd sensed the request before it was given. That was a service you couldn't get just anywhere. "Malantau is on the...

    Frontier Town Nina's Place

    Dakota rubbed his chin with the hand holding his cigarette, and skewed his mouth in thought. "Well, it's really nothing I know much about, myself. I think my recollection comes from an expedition I made to Malantau a long time ago. That's very far from here, though, and nobody much has lived...

    "Shadow pokémon...? My word...!" Then Ghaspius mentioned a voice and Dakota's brows looked like they were about to rise straight off his forehead. "Well that doesn't sound like... Ahem, like anything I've ever heard of." He took another, deep puff of smoke. "Summoned humans have historically...

    "Hah!" Dakota chuckled, nodding. "It certainly is. I'm not convinced there are any credible sources attesting to there ever being more than one summoned human per generation. So you see, this is all very... unusual." He palmed his chin in thought, the cigarette hanging from his fingers. "It...

    Dakota chuckled, and shrugged languidly. "Well, that's perfectly fair. And perhaps some other time, we could discuss rocks together! It's not my specific expertise, but I've picked up a thing or two about uncanny rocks in particular in my time. I fear that would alienate these other fellows...

    Emolga Adele let out an exclamation of what most probably was joy. "Ah, I do so love a good story!" she declared. "Whether to tell it, or to listen to one! Good sir, will you humour the intrigue you have so ensconced in this humble audience?" Dakota raised his brows at Adele's peculiar energy...

    Dakota nodded slowly, considering what the two had just said. He put out his now-short cigarette on his own thumb-pad, and left the stub in an ash tray on the counter. "Well, I'm not sure I'd describe my interest as only curiosity, or as a business matter. Moral responsibility, remember? The...

    Dakota looked a little taken aback. Perhaps even... perturbed, somehow. "Why, how awful," he replied, softly. "Where did you hear something like that?"

    Dakota dispassionately watched Nova walk away, and took another drag. Not much left of the cigarette by now. "Hmm. You're an odd fellow, Ghaspius. You're suggesting you were a Mismagius before you were... summoned?" The primate's expression was hard to read. He could have been sceptical, or...

    Dakota raised an eyebrow. "If there were no humans... would you then ask who watched the gods? The saints? Whichever pokémon were strongest? If all were equally strong, what about children? Something to think about, my friend." He scratched his chin with an index knuckle. "I certainly don't...

    Dakota cleared his throat. "It's, ah, quite alright. It's already public record that the recent group of arrivals are offworlders, you know. And I did come here expecting to find exactly that – a group of strangers to Sohavenia, perhaps a little confused, either here by some distortion in the...

    Dakota grinned, and took another drag of smoke. "Sure. But then, it passes on to their kids, too. And their kids after them." Another long puff. "It even happens with humans who weren't summoned for any kind of Crisis. Did you know that could happen? Cases like that are actually a majority of...

    Dakota nodded agreeably, and sighed. He reached inside a waistcoat pocket for a pack of cigarettes, took one, and lit it off of his tail. He offered the packet around to the other 'mon nearby. Adele politely declined – at length. "Think what you will of humans as people, or of the potential for...

    "A damn fool is what it means," muttered the giraffe. "Don't you mind Nina, she's just goin' sour in her old age," scoffed Adele. "I'll gladly tell the tale—" "No you won't," insisted Nina. "Not if I'd be listening to it for the hundredth damn time." Dakota cleared his throat. "Well. I can't...

    Dakota smiled politely at Nova and adjusted his collar. "Sir – forgive me, I do not know your species – Sir, I'm no fool. Every town has its local crackpot, but I'm not chasing conspiracy theories. Humans in this world are a matter of fact, not of wild fancy." The Emolga hanging just above the...

    Dakota palmed the back of his head sheepishly, and adjusted his hat. "Well, that's a fair few questions to answer! Let's see... I say 'again' because – and I think this is common knowledge in these parts – the sheriff of this town is a human, but he hasn't been seen around for some years now...

    The Monferno chuckled gently. "Well, now, isn't that remarkable? Just the sort of astonishing thing they talk about in the stories, don't you think? I don't think a classified is really the best way to ask around about these sort of things when there are people willing to gossip at the local...

    "I dunno, I might've been in town before, but it would've been a while ago. I was travelling in the frontier about a decade back, if I recall right." The Monferno sat at Nina's bar was getting long in the limb, his white ruff spreading across his upper body as he grew closer to evolution from...

    Prim's energy pulsed from her body in the form of a blast of disrupted air – a sort of prototypical Vacuum Wave. The Bisharp budged maybe half an inch, and grunted as if mildly inconvenienced. "I, Kotetsu, accept this challenge," rasped his voice, and suddenly he didn't sound that much like...
