• 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?

    "Nah, I think I said everything I wanted to say," Ridley answered. "Got more than enough new information to be working with for the time being. We can head back." Besides, now that there was a consistent way to contact the Voice, he could just head back to this area if he founds something else...

    That was... interesting, but also confusing. Ridley had never known skorupi to have any particular aversion to light, so he wasn't sure why the shadow skorupi would show such a strong unwillingness to venture into the light from the watchtower if that wasn't a typical trait for shadow pokemon...

    Well, that wasn't the most helpful or encouraging response, but Ridley had told the Voice both what he knew about the shadow pokemon and what he was worried about. He could only hope they'd learn more about the topic in future, ideally before anyone died or turned into a monster. "They do hate...

    Ridley didn't know how often heroes were summoned to this world, but if the Voice was saying they'd never witnessed the arrival of one... they were potentially very young. He said, "After the shadow charmeleon, you said you were worried that touching it might have damaged or infected you in...

    "Well, in the most literal sense, we don't belong here," Ridley pointed out. "We're from other worlds. And if you're saying the group behind the shadow pokemon is at odds with the human supremacists, they might know that." Dave's other questions were all ones Ridley had wanted to ask...

    "Speaking of talking more," Ridley said, "our previous conversation got cut off, but people who engage with the shadow pokemon are receiving messages from them in dreams. It feels similar to the way you contact us. Are there any other entities like you which could be related to this? Any risks...

    "Mostly that the Coven attracts idealists by telling them they're doing good, but it's the sort of doing good which cares more about its own sense of righteousness than it does what the people here actually need or want," Ridley said flatly. "They've got the colonist mentality, as far as I can...

    Huh. That was a lot. "I'm not exactly eager to help the human supremacists out either," Ridley agreed. "The group I was with met up with a couple people who are working to oppose the Covenant, so there are more than two sides at play here, at least." Probably. Ridley didn't think that Valere...

    Oh! Ridley lit up to hear the Voice finally respond to their call. He took a mental note of where he and Dave were standing, in case he needed to communicate with the Voice again in future. "Hey!" he said. "I'd like to continue the conversation we were having before, but right now I really want...

    "I think Odette heard something different," Ridley said. Honestly, he hadn't asked Koa what he'd heard. At the time, immediately after the dream, his brain still buzzing with the aftershocks of pain and terror, it had seemed obvious that they'd heard the same thing. Ridley had made a guess that...

    "Yeah, that's possible," Ridley agreed. "I had plenty of regular nightmares too -" or at least, he would have done, if he hadn't dedicated himself to not sleeping specifically to avoid them "- but this didn't feel like an ordinary dream." He'd dismissed the Voice's communications as ordinary...

    "Koa and I both heard something like a second Voice talking to us in our dreams that night," Ridley explained. "And in Blaguarro when I volunteered for the night watch we had an encounter with another shadow pokemon. Afterwards Odette reported a similar dream, but Kimiko and I didn't hear...

    "Oh, hey, I'm looking for that too," Ridley said cheerfully. "We can search for it together. What did you learn about - no, don't worry about that, actually, if it's what you want to talk to the Voice about I can ask questions then. There's no sense in repeating yourself." It was frustrating...

    "Voice? Hey, Voice! Are you there?" There was no answer to Ridley's call. He shrugged to himself and kept walking. After their conversation at Blaguarro had been cut short (by Odette being shot at; much as it was probably a bad thing that she'd been hit by the shadow skorupi, at least they'd...

    "No, I'm saying that I'm a mimikyu and if it went after me there were good odds it would only have shredded my costume," Ridley argued. He hadn't actually been thinking about that when he'd climbed out of the wagon - hadn't been thinking much of anything at all, really, other than that he...

    Ridley had been about to ask Wes for more information on the "shadow pokemon", given that it was a concept he was apparently familiar with, but that comment put his back up. He was in too much pain to be mild-tempered about this. "Seriously?" Ridley snapped back. "What part of 'everybody be...

    ...they'd survived. The relief was overwhelming. "I think being dead would hurt less," Ridley mumbled, and tried not to burst out into hysterical laughter at his own shitty joke. He felt giddy with the sheer exhilaration of his own survival, but moving his body like that still hurt. He...

    Ridley went down like a ragdoll as the Beast's claws tore effortlessly into him, shredding cloth and flesh to ribbons. For half a heartbeat, just long enough for him to feel stupidly, pathetically relieved - oh, that wasn't as bad as I thought it would be - he didn't feel anything at all. And...

    Shit, what the fuck - it had been underground? Ridley was thrown across the ground as the charmeleon sliced into Wes, tumbling uncontrollably for several feet before he finally came to a stop. He heard Wes screaming, but couldn't see what had happened. By the time Ridley, dizzy and panicked...

    Ridley had barely recovered from being tossed about by Koa when he found himself snatched up again. Okay, fine, it wasn't like he'd ever been particularly protective of his dignity, but a little warning would be nice! He wriggled in Wes' jaws, about to voice a demand to be put down, but erupted...
