Hannibal is about - wow, cannibalism, she hopes that isn't a Psychosis Hint because no thanks - okay, good to have a general picture of that. She is not turned off by the idea of bossing Oliver around, though it wasn't specifically something she had in mind on her own...

Permalink

She can find softer examples of domming, too; the genericness of the word is a feature, not a bug. For instance, the thing where she kissed him without asking for permission, and is in general being the proactive one, is pretty consonant with some stuff she finds there, especially as a sort of "dipping her toes in" kind of situation.

Permalink

She would probably have asked her permission without magical knowledge about it but since she is probably going to continue to have some access to magical knowledge going forward perhaps this is not inhibitory! Is there a convenient list of associated behaviors to be had?

Permalink

Generally, anything themed around being the one in charge: making decisions of what and when and how to do things, bossing people around both in and out of bed, orgasm denial, edging, teasing, the list goes on. It's also often associated with sadism, it seems, as well as various form of bondage and other types of toys, gear, and clothing that control or restrict someone else's actions, like leashes, chastity devices, various toys, and so on.

Huh. She doesn't want to hurt him but could roll with most of the other stuff. ...well, she supposes if he specifically wanted to be hurt she could get into that, which does seem like the obvious way for it to come up. She's probably getting ahead of herself anyway, though. She will go slice some cookie dough off what she bought and stick the cookies in the oven and bring him some when they're done.

Permalink

This time he's not so engrossed that he doesn't notice. In fact it looks like she's coincidentally arrived just as he was checking out for the night. "—ooh cookies!"

Permalink

"I transferred them from the package to the baking sheet all by myself." Smooch.

Permalink

Oh okay so that's gonna be a recurring theme now, cool, good, alright, he is not complaining.

Permalink

"You do not have to eat them all alone in your office unless you feel like it," she adds, sashaying out.

Permalink

Well he was just done with his work for the """day""" so he's absolutely following the sashay.

Permalink

She has cookies of her own and plops down to pick one up and take a bite. "How was your day?"

Permalink

"Good! Busy. My coworkers and I aaaaaaI cannot talk about this, right, uh, we're doing something interesting and fun."

Permalink

"Well, I'm glad it's interesting and fun. Do I even get to know what company you work for? If that's secret it seems like it might make doing your taxes complicated."

Permalink

"I am informed that they are dealing with it for me and to be fair I have not been hounded by the IRS yet so I assume it must be true."

Permalink

"Huh. If they go up in a big SEC explosion in a few years, as I understand companies sometimes do, is that a defense or would you be on the hook for a bazillion dollars of back taxes?"

Permalink

"I think it's a defense, I do get a very official-looking document about it that says stuff is settled every year, but I guess I don't really know."

Permalink

"Well, it's your risk to take. Man, if your NDAs have NDAs that must make all kinds of things awkward. Company retreats, telling everyone at the ropes course you're something less secretive, like FBI agents. Office Christmas parties, either you can't bring a plus one or your plus one has to spend the entire time with a blindfold and earmuffs on trying to distinguish eggnog and cider by smell. Though you appear to work exclusively from home so perhaps you guys aren't big on company culture and bonding."

Quest available: Shafted by the IRS

Well that's a suspicious arrangement if you've ever seen one. Which you haven't, because you were born yesterday.

But it does seem to merit some investigation, what with how the mysterious knowledge you were born with about how the world works most certainly suggests this isn't that unlikely to come bite Oliver in the ass. What is up with that?

Success: ???
Failure:
???

Accept: Y/N
Minimum ERO: 25*

(* Your true ERO is already above that, but it is currently locked to a lower value. If you accept this quest anyway, your effective ERO will be raised to match it. You can choose to keep this quest in reserve and only accept it once you have naturally increased your cap, instead.)

SED 18 seems to suggest Oliver finds this funnier than is warranted.

"No, not very much. I hang out with my more direct coworkers but external family and friends are out."

Permalink

Huh. She doesn't actually have any idea how she'd go about probing further with her current powerset so she'll let the quest sit for now. "And I suppose to your direct co-workers I am an external friend so we shall be mysteries to each other forever. Or at least in the one direction, I suppose you could give them my tumblr username if you wanted."

Permalink

"You have a tumblr?"

Permalink

"As of recently, yes. I'm 'unwindchime'."

Permalink

"That's an interesting name, does it have a backstory?"

Permalink

"Just a silly double portmanteau."

Permalink

"Well, it's cute. I'll check it out later. But yeah, uh, not much bonding with people outside work itself, is how it goes."
