Only if you fear death.

Or the deaths of bystanders.

Fufu, I suppose it's possible that both oneself and their conversation partner could both feel that way. There is always the excitement of discovery, should someone stumble upon the word accidentally!

Re: OH YEAH ALSO

[arrowace]

[ nods, makes sense, however ]

. . . it would be rude to those . . . unexcited.

Re: OH YEAH ALSO

[chasseurdebeaute]

Mm, I can't think of many who would be pleased to accidentally detonate the person they were speaking to and five other parties who weren't even present.

Rubato. I don't want to play conversation chicken.

Re: OH YEAH ALSO

It is important to limit the games to the ones you would pursue intentionally, non?

Re: OH YEAH ALSO

[noarchitact]

...it wouldn't be fair to those we're having the conversation with. Imagine how some of the people here would feel knowing they accidentally triggered our flock to explode. If it was completely on us, then... it wouldn't be as bad, because we could actively try until we slip, but I just don't want that guilt falling onto anybody elses shoulders.

Re: OH YEAH ALSO

[chasseurdebeaute]

Mm, I don't know that everyone's relationship to guilt is as severe as your own, but certainly it would require quite a bit of trust and assistance from others in order to simply go on with this curse.

Re: OH YEAH ALSO

[noarchitact]

I hate the idea of being a literal ticking time bomb... and it's even worse that we're all tied together.

Re: OH YEAH ALSO

[chasseurdebeaute]

Are we not always tied together in a fashion? [touches his own bell collar]
