• 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?

    Outside of the dream encounter, Ghaspius had all but disappeared from the public eye for days. He had quit his job at Drungfield's and left behind nearly all of his equipment alongside him. He returned, unceremoniously, after some time, and merely shrugging and saying, "I'm doin' what I love now...

    "So we're gonna need to uh, clear out the 'corruption' in these Mystery Dungeons?" Ghaspius replied as he adjusted his hat. "I know we've been helpin' Betel set things up, and we've been makin' some progress on some of the shadowy stuff, but this sounds like a whole 'nother level. There...

    Ghaspius's head weighed down like lead as he stumbled through the abyss of a nightmare. His cloth convulsed at the voice's grave words as his mind was forced to focus — any wandering thought consumed by the endless void. "Y'all aren't able to? Just how'd he get so strong? Where did he even find...

    "Hair conditioning? It's not a shampoo, though!" Gare shook his head as he patted his contraption. "But I suppose if I consider the air like strands of fur and tried to condition each of them with a good spin... yes... yes I think we're onto somethin' here!" Though the Spinda had stopped...

    "The only thing I could think of is—" "—Yes! Exactly! Its super-spinning fan-tastic technology brings about the coolest of breezes, lettin' the ink dry faster than a tauros on a tuesday durin' happy hour!" Gare declared as he proudly looked upward. "So that's it then; it's the room size! Which...

    Gare spun around, flecking a bit of ink onto his face as he tried to look at the paper. He paused, stumbled, and gasped, "Why? Why didn't it work this time?! It's worked every other time!" The Spinda thrusted his free hand towards the exhaust to feel the cool air blowing through. "It should be...

    The Cinderace close by leaned his head over as he not-so-subtly looked at the two inventions with baited breath. He readied his notepad, prepared to report his latest discovery... only sputter a cough of light but harmless embers at the sight of the robot's result. The rabbit adjusted his coat...

    The Spinda raised a confused ear at the note, but nodded as he took it. "Now we just put it on a table... and go!" He gave the machine's lever a good punch as it whirred to life. The spinning blades inside bellowed as the contraption shook and rumbled on top of the pallet, threatening to shake...

    "We got the rocks, now we'll just need some writing... you!" Gare declared, pointing at Dave as he pulled out a feather pen and a small ink bottle. "You ought to write somethin' down so there ain't no accusations of cheating! Anything, even just a rant to yourself! Then I'll get my Ink-Pressor...

    "It's what makes the world go 'round!" Gare retorted getting back into a twirl. "How 'bout I bring out my own creaking—er, well-oiled machine over and we'll have an invent-off? We'll even get judges, like... uh..." He stopped in place, looked around, and then gestured towards Dave and Kimiko...

    The faintest hint of an impressed gleam twinged at the corners of the Spinda's eyes, but he twirled around to hide it. "No, no, the real big market is puttin' a spin on what the everymon does every day! Make their heads turn as they think about whole new ways to do things! And not do things...

    Sales and tents pitched themselves alike as an ordered chaos of voices and footsteps sprang forth. The air thickened with ambition and excitement as every would-be entrepreneur and businessmon greased their palms and put on their shiniest smiles for the Barovelt Trade Assembly. In a joint...

    With nothing but questions left on their minds, the group drifted through the streets of Novelux as the crowds filled in the empty spaces they left in their wake. A few days later, the museum opened with seemingly no fanfare, and the trolley was once again brimming with tourists. Though it...

    If the glowing gemstones on his forehead were any indicator, Ghaspius's own figurative lightbulb manifested into something physical as Andre spoke. He muttered to himself as he combed over the letter a few times, occasionally, making a slip-up before finally reading: "You passed. Two weeks from...

    Ghaspius hummed in thought. "Whenever I get stuck on an alchemy problem, I always go back to the formulas. Tryin' to break things down to an atomic level and all that." He scratched the top of his head. "But I guess this ain't really a formula, is it...?"

    At Andre's remark, Ghaspius quickly searched his hat and unfolded it. His eyes squinted as he read the text aloud. "What do y'all make of this?"

    Dwebble stuffed the book back into the hat with a shrug. Or perhaps he was just making sure it stayed in place. "Suit yourself! You can find copies all over Novelux. Novelty Forged in Steel." He turned towards the panel before answering, fiddling with the controls as he did so. "Did he now...

    "In his youth, he was just a humble cotton worker with barely a dollar to his name," the Conductor began, leaning on the panel as he gestured with his claws, "But he was smart. He knew which times of the year had the best yields, knew how to use his moves to separate the seeds from fluff, and...

    "True enough! Probably have to make model for each standard size class," the Dwebble noted as he patted the front of the trolley. "Like ol' Tessa here. What she lacks in capacity, she's got in grit! Never broke down on me once. 'Course, there's always that young'un Drilbur with Big Bam. Mostly...

    "'Vanguard'..." The name trickled across his tongue like a watering can to a drying plant. His many legs tapped against the metal tile as he spoke. "I've heard the name alright. Wouldn't surprise me if they had some hand in terrorism. Don't let scary news bother you, though; there's always...
