Random question time! Which para cusses the most? When did they start cussing, what influenced the habit? Who cusses the least and why? Has the para who cussed the least heard the para who cussed the most cuss? What’s their reaction? Is there a compromise when it comes to communication between the two?
Well going by paracosm:
Over The Moon:
Xander- cussing alot less that anyone would think at least on a normal day, he only cusses when he feels pumped after coming from a sucessful mission and the Honorbond leader is not around. Xander's cussing habit comes from the fact that he gets such of a high of completing a mission that he literally feels like he can say or do anything without much consequences.
Conroy- doesn't cuss at all, finds it rude to do so in any situation for good or bad (especially around older women and young children). Often is the one to call out the other two for cussing especially Xander.
Moxie- Cusses the most, but its sort of a tick of hers, there are times where she literally can't help it. Conroy understands this and is less harsh about cussing with Moxie. When she's in a rage or in battle her vocab is nothing but cuss words. For the sake of Conroy, and the Honorbond leader if she feels like she's about to bust into a cussing fit, moxie will lock herself in one of the airlock rooms on the base (that's sound proof), but if she can't get to one of those she'll settle for a near by restroom, or her own cabin.
Cori- only cusses when she's frustrated, finds it freeing in a way, As the daughters of one of the heads at the BigC she was always told what to say to make the company look good, and any original thought or idea was quickly shot down by both her father and the board. Isn't offended by cussing but she was sheltered most of her life, so her ears did turn a shade red when she first heard Moxie fall into a cussing fit in battle.
Humble Pie
Beau- cusses the most (but I dont think that's a surprise), during his younger years when his dad was still around, there was a small window of time where he would try to emulate his father in some way to get his father to like him more (this is also kind of where is smoking habit came from too). Cussing just became a thing that kind of stuck with Beau (something he's not really proud of), since cussing does upset his mother, so he tries his best not cuss in front of her or his siblings.
Dev- cusses more than you think, he does it to be cool (in a similar vain to imitate his older bro, but he'll never tell him that) and partly when he's frustrated. When Beau catches Dev cussing, he smacks him on the head (hard enough to remind him, but gentle enough not to hurt too bad), or just gives him a small lecture on why he should cuss, which Dev rolls his eyes at.
Bonnie- Doesn't cuss much at all, if she does its for comedic effect and nothing more. She isn't offend by Beau's cussing, but tries his best (which is kind of hard to do around Bonnie, especially when they first meet) not cuss around her. If she does catch Beau cussing, she'll dramatic put her hand over her mouth, and go "Ohhh, you said a bad word" to Beau's annoyance.
