Asking the real questions

[unbrokenoath]

FORM: Sending crystal
SENDER: Kaisa
RECIPIENT: Everyone
WHAT: Things are tense, Kaisa tries to have a discussion that is Not Tense. Asking what people's safe word is counts, right?
WHEN: End of Drakonis
WHERE: Skyhold
NOTES: CW for discussion of sexual situations, probably with hints at bdsm or at least situations that require a safe word.

Alright, so, I'm bored, and the air has been kind of tense around here lately. So I have a fun survey for anyone who wants to participate. My question is this:

What's your safe word?

For any innocent maidens tuning in: Safe words are words that you say when you're knocking boots with someone and you need all activities to end, right then and there, no questions asked. If you've never been in any situations where you've needed a safe word, think up something that you'd never say during sex, unless you were wanting everything to stop. Go ahead, think on that. Right now. Hup hup. Let me know what you come up with.

I think that it's interesting to see just what people decide on, you know? It says something. Some people just go with something like 'Stop' because, Maker's ass, it's effective, and neither of you are gonna forget that shit any time soon. You don't need to explain your decision-making process but I might ask you if you got something really out there, just saying. Unless you're like 'And don't fucking ask, Kaisa, you nosy motherfucker', in which case I will be like 'Alright man, that's totally cool'.

I'll start out: Mine is 'darkspawn', because I figure if I'm shouting that at any point, I probably want to be ending any current extra-circular activities, anyway. And probably find some pants.

Not for me. Plaidweave is an immediate turn-off. So, hence the safe word.

Don't joke.

[unbrokenoath]

[ She cackles, like the mature adult she is. ]

Sweet Maker, now I can't get the images out of my head. How dare you, good ser.

[wickedchase]

Let it be known I'd rather strut about in the nude than wear it. It's a monstrosity of cloth.

[unbrokenoath]

I'd rather you strut around nude, if it's any consolation.

[wickedchase]

[Twisted Fate greatly approves.]

It would be an improvement, wouldn't it? Might boost morale, even.

[unbrokenoath]

I can think of all sorts of things that would be boosted! Including morale.

[wickedchase]

Too true. Frankly, I think everyone could benefit.

[unbrokenoath]

I'll write my recommendation letter for the advisers right now.

[wickedchase]

I'll sign it.

[unbrokenoath]

...

My name is Kaisa, by the way. You're that fellow with the hat, right? [ Such a stunning description. ] I've seen you in the tavern, I think.

[wickedchase]

Unless you're talking about the boy upstairs, that would indeed be me. Twisted Fate is what I go by.

A pleasure, Kaisa.

[unbrokenoath]

No, he sounds different. Twisted Fate, huh? I bet no one forgets that one.

[ It's said casually. Not her business what people do with their names. ]

[wickedchase]

No, no one ever does.

I visit the camp at times. Perhaps I will see you there one of these days, hm?

[el_tybs]

I'll be sure to write that in my book of things to be known.

Tell me, does this strutting include the hat or not? I'm trying to picture this right.

[wickedchase]

Hat's always included. It's a bonus, really.

[el_tybs]

Is that truly nude then?

It is a very nice hat, the bonus would be much appreciated.

[wickedchase]

It just isn't the same old me without it, though.

It's going to stay on my head, I hope you realize.

[el_tybs]

Which one?

[wickedchase]

Depends on how I feel at the time.

[el_tybs]

Guess someone is going to have to give you some plaidweave undies so we can find out.

[wickedchase]

Ugh, I shudder to think.

[el_tybs]

Just think, everyone is hearing this.

[You haven't made anyone mad lately have you?]

[wickedchase]

[WWWWWWWWWWWWWELLLLLLLLLLLLL.]

Then they'll understand it's a waste of their money when I set fire to the garments.

Not here (maybe here)
