therookery | Asking the real questions

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.

It's a fun discussion. I mean, have you missed the people who aren't fanning themselves in dismay and are actually having fun talking about it?

But yeah, this world does pretty good with words and shit.

[ Kaisa being an upstanding example of a wonderful grasp on the language. ]

Hmmph. Dismay is a far too dramatic word for it.

[He likes keeping up with the crystal for serious business, but then this had come up and well... it was just hard to ignore.]

...I'm partial toward 'nughumper.'

[Mainly because he has a parrot who says the word constantly, to the point of annoyance. But well, it's pretty suitable.]

I'm a dramatic kind of woman.

[ She has to cackle at that word choice, though. ]

Maker's ass, that's beautiful. I love it.

I can already tell. [He says it in that dry little tone of his.]

What can I say? Your world truly does have the best curses, as I've found out.

[He'll just be keeping any non-Thedas inspired words to himself for the time being though.]

Don't have a problem with it, I trust.

[ Because there is no containing the drama, it must be free. ]

I'm pretty fond of 'em, and I only know the ones in Common. Start getting into different languages, and you find some real ingenious curses. Antivan is my favorite, 'cause it sounds real pretty, and then you find out that they were questioning if you were fathered by a person or an animal.

I’ve plenty of problems, but that’s not one of them at the moment.

[Yes, she is definitely reminding him of some of the companions he’d traveled with, for good or bad that it might prove to be.]

Truly, this world has depths I’d never considered. [He can’t say he doesn’t appreciate it, though, to an extent. Although...] I have a bird who only speaks in curses… I’ve a feeling he’d appreciate that Antivan language a little too much.

You've plenty of problems in general, or plenty of problems with me? 'Cause if it's in general, all I can say is go stand in line. At the tavern, if you want my recommendation.

--You're shitting me, though. That sounds amazing. [ As Kaisa clearly likes her profanity. ] You should introduce him to some of the Antivans around here. Can't miss 'em, just look for the pretty people.

Problems in general. I don’t believe we’re acquainted enough to have any problems with one another.

[Kain is definitely known for having issues, and issues with other people, but it takes time to build that up, at least.]

Great… just what I need to do, encourage him. [The bird will enjoy it far too much. Though even Kain has to admit there are times where a swearing parrot comes in handy. Maybe.] But yes, he’s hard to miss when he’s in one of his more… vocal moods. I’m sure you’ll see him around someday.

You would be surprised at how quick I can make people have issues with me.

[ It's a gift. ]

I'll be listening for him. With bells on my ears.

Somehow, I don’t doubt that... Hold on.

[Well, he may as well deliver on the promise of a crazed swearing bird. Kain whistles, and soon enough a loud squawk can be heard.]

NUG-HUMPING BRONTO’S ASS!!

...and it’s even more… ‘exciting’ in person.

[There’s a grudging almost-admiration in his tone. Kain has gone from loathing the bird to getting stupidly fond of him.]
