• 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?

    Andre sighed, relieved. "Okay." He thought for a moment whether he wanted to say anything more. He couldn't think of anything. "I'll just be leaving, then," he said, walking to the door. "I'll let Ridley know about this. We'll see if he needs me to tell anyone else." He gave Dave one last...

    "Of course," Andre said. "The thing that makes me seek out new targets over and over again is my wish to see justice realized and my sense of duty. Nothing else." That was true. While the intense fear of a human being who knew they were going to die was very pleasing to Andre's aura sense, it...

    "No," Andre said. "Not only do I not know how I would even go about it, I don't have the resources or aura sense here that I have back home, so I wouldn't get enough insight into a potential target to judge them reliably." He paused. "Then again, if it's someone like Alexander - and it isn't the...

    Andre's jaw tensed, and the radiance threatened to return. This was bullshit. No one could handle the truth - two examples already showed that - so no one should be told. Still, there wasn't a single fiber in Andre's body that wanted to kill Dave. Dave was still a good person. Not evil, at the...

    For a little deer, the sight of a predator baring its fangs would never fail to bring a surge of adrenaline. That hormone, combined with growing Radiance, was a volatile combination. But it did not combust. It was close, but mercifully just short of it. A sudden wave of cool self-reflection...

    Andre would have felt wounded. Andre would have felt like it was a deep stab into the very core of his being with a spear wrapped in barbed wire. Andre would have begun to break, his innermost doubts pouring out of the cracks of the barriers he'd built around that condensed little ball of fear...

    Andre clenched his jaw and looked Dave directly in the eye. If he was going to admit to this, he wasn't going to be a pussy about it. "Yes."

    Well, there was that cold creeping in again. The thought that he was in the wrong. The thought that he'd always been in the wrong. That he never should have killed anyone, never should have even paid for a hit on the scumfuck that extorted Ellie. But no, how could that be? How could he be in...

    Andre let Dave speak freely, even though he wanted to interject at many points. His anger, though, was rising further. Once Dave was done, Andre spoke again. "I'm sorry that happened to you," he said - he really was - "but I can't be scared off from acting by concerns of going too far. And the...

    'Sheltered twentysomething artist living off your rich parents' money'. Shit, Andre didn't think Dave would go there. He'd been prepared to hear that he was a monster - well, he wasn't prepared, really - but his financial situation? Damn. So it really was as bad as Andre had feared. But he...

    While it may have been better than being chewed out right away, Andre still didn't know if he liked the fact that Dave's reaction was so vague. He could tell already that it was not positive, but the extent of Dave's disgust was yet to be revealed. And Andre would have to pry for it. Like...

    Oh boy. Yeah. This was where it would all go downhill. Maybe it was just better to get it over with. "I killed some people back home," Andre said, quickly. "But they were abusers and rapists and pedophiles a-and bigots, too. Scumbags! They deserved it. I made sure with my aura sense, they...

    "...No, not exactly," Andre said. "I'm not the --" Hmm. "Well, whether I'm the bad person is up to you. Anyway, my point is... some people are bad, and the world would be better off without them, right? And, uhh..." He glanced away. "If someone were to make them go away... that would be... a...

    Andre raised a hoof. "That is... appreciated, thank you, but it's more that he's... well, he said that if I don't tell people, he's going to. And he's surely gonna make it sound worse." Oh boy. He sure sounded like the victim here. Dave had to be be thinking this was something completely...

    Andre nodded and stepped in. After a bit of hesitation, he elected to close the door himself. He sighed and stepped deeper into the room. He turned around to face Dave. "Basically," he started, voice low, "I made a promise to Ridley that I'd tell at least a few people something about myself...

    Threadmarks: Ch07: Confession (Andre & Dave)

    Doing another day of his mailmon job was good for Andre. He supposed it was, anyway. A return to normalcy after the terror of the Comb. He had carried the same worries with him the entire time, though. Since the visit to Evil Fucking Cave, he'd scarcely had a waking moment where he wasn't stuck...

    Whispers of Andre and Ridley

    "Right." Andre nodded. Maybe Ridley did know what the visions meant, but just wasn't comfortable telling Andre about it. It might not have even been due to the whole 'this guy is a murderer' thing, but a 'my childhood was deeply traumatic and I'm not ready to open up about it to a relative...

    Whispers of Andre and Ridley

    Andre nodded in response to Ridley's wave. "Yeah. That sounds sensible." Andre paused, then spoke again. "You know, since you saw... something related to me," he began, "I should tell you that I saw something related to you as well. I was... in some woods that looked like Glimwood Tangle...

    Whispers of Andre and Ridley

    "Aura allows me to see when people are lying, or when they're hiding something," Andre said. "I lead them on until they admit to something, and their aura confirms they're telling the truth. Of course, that most often doesn't end up happening. I've brought many, many assholes into my flat...

    Whispers of Andre and Ridley

    Andre stared into the distance, confused, until he remembered. Really, Evil Cave? Really? "I... think I know what you saw," Andre said. "But it's not, like, real. I see it in my dreams sometimes. That's it. I wouldn't think much of it." He sighed. "Anyway, yeah, I did sense aura in my world...
