Boundaries and German Lessons 🇩🇪
Setting: An empty classroom. An overly serious alchemist pretending this is academic foreplay.
Faust: adjusts glasses “Communication is vital. Therefore, your safeword will be Streichholzschachtel.” MC: “…Str-eye-holtz?” Faust: “Incorrect. Again.”
Five minutes later:
Faust: “Very well. A simpler alternative. Eichhörnchen.” MC: “…Eye-horn…kin?” Faust: sighs “Unacceptable pronunciation. I cannot ethically stop until it’s flawless.” MC: “So this is what you meant by practicing safe words…” Faust: “Language is an act of precision. You cannot expect safety if you cannot articulate it.” MC: “You just want to hear me suffer through German.” Faust: smirks “Correct.”
