• 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?

    "Same actions?" Astrid recoiled when it had been said and practically spit it out when it was her turn to speak. "Good grief." It was like she'd said: he sounded miserable. Taking their appeals, their sacrifice today, and turning it back into processed, premeditated self-righteousness...

    Astrid grimaced. Stifled a groan. It was like all of her least favorite diplomatic traits had been crammed into a single feathered mass. Each response was like taking a bite when her mouth was already full--too much to chew on. "We're not above using violence for our ideals, no," Astrid...

    Sympathy and prejudice fought for real estate on Astrid's face, twisting her expression. That hurt like hell. She grimaced at the sight of Zapdos on the ground, part of her eager to pounce again. But no, he really was done. In the end she just sigh-groaned and let her guard fall against her...

    Out of food, Astrid had that to chew on instead. "...Mmhm. Cipher seemed more opportunistic than anything. Yeah, no, I agree. I think it's gotta have a lot to do with Betel, whatever it is. It's weird how little we know about her, but it's really weird how little she knows about herself." She...

    Embracing pain never dulls it. The first kick shattered Astrid's balance; the second ripped the wind out of her lungs; the third yanked a curtain of darkness across her brain. The force was so great that she bounced straight off the ground, into the air a few feet, and limp again to the prickly...

    Astrid wiped the sweat off her brow--no actually, that was blood. Her pulse roared in her temples. She couldn't take another barrage like that without falling, and the bird was too thick to drain energy from efficiently... So this was a 'Saint'. A 'Legend'. Someone who didn't need the guidance...

    "Thankfully we wouldn't be toddlers this time," Astrid said in-between bites. She had really loosened up -- perhaps it was the alcohol, perhaps it was growing more comfortable in Nova's company -- and didn’t hardly bother to swallow all the way before speaking again. She didn’t seem to be...

    Sojaveña Wilds Clan Battlegrounds

    Astrid had been intrigued at first. Forlas had no shortage of wild sorts, and a so-called Cyclone challenging them to a duel was as unusual as his subliminal threats were alarming. But it only took a few words for her intrigue to wash away. Her mouth hardened into a perturbed frown, and as...

    Astrid's head bobbed back and forth in a drawn-out nod, her thousand-yard stare harmlessly piercing the glassware behind the bar. "You ever meet Dayle?" She studied Nova's reaction. "The Machoke with the... ah, uhm, if you've met him you'd definitely know. He's running for mayor, apparently...

    "Psychic's fun," Astrid mused rather absent-mindedly. "If I could pick a type to be, it'd be one of my top three, four. Hmm..." Silence settled as Astrid failed to continue the conversation meaningfully, and briefly, she felt like melting into her chair with a long sigh. The alcohol helped, of...

    Astrid hadn't heard of any vampire stories and was totally unfamiliar with the accent, but it sounded funny, and she was drunk, so she laughed hysterically all the same. "Hmmhh. You know, I-- maybe you're right. I dunno, I just thought I had to kiss someone every time I did it." How silly that...

    Frontier Town Nina's Place

    Astrid dug in without a second thought but took note of Nova's gesture all the same. For an Ice-type under the beating sun most of the day, she wasn't great about hydrating, and knew she'd appreciate it about three hours from now if she kept chugging alcohol. It seemed Nova was a guardian of...

    "The 'A-bb-ey'." Astrid mouthed the word with emphasis, giggling a little. "How pretentious. Heheh, but. That's not a bad idea, Nova." She fumbled around in her little knapsack and pulled out a shoddy notepad, tore out a sheet, and jotted something down. "I'll forget if I don't set a reminder,"...

    Astrid chuckled a little and clinked her glass off of Nova's. "It felt really good," she admitted. She tapped the bottom of her glass on the counter and then paused for a moment to drink--and to think. "Maybe too good. There's a really tiny window where the Radiance is potent enough to flow...

    "Hmmp," Astrid murmured, drowned out by another swig. She eyed the drink; it was already a quarter gone. Good thing she was free the rest of the day. She took yet another and relished in the way her spine tingled before noticing Nova's look. "--Oh, yeah, sure. I'm not picky. "Anyway, he sounds...

    Astrid resisted jolting in her seat. She stared at her knuckles on the table in front of her for a moment, not quite noticing the barkeeper place down a tall beer until a moment later. "Huh," she said, suddenly distant. "That's... funny, I... knew a Sage, from my world. He, um. He was nice...

    "Uhh." Ah, yes, choosing alcohol. Like Astrid could tell the difference between smooth red wine and vodka that barely wasn't gasoline. "I'll have... onnne of those, thanks," she said a little lamely, pointing to exactly what Nova was drinking. A sheepish smile split her snout from her chin as...
