[More thought. And more eating, to fill the space.]
Don't really have one, I don't think. Anything's good. But getting my hair pulled is really good.
[He's touch-starved and sensory-seeking to a fault, and Rin has seen how eager he is to get hurt. Any attention, any touch whether kind or violent, is something Dodger wants.]
[Rin quickly gets a bite to eat before rattling off:]
Scat, watersports, and other filth-focused kinks. No pulling hair hard enough that the locks break or disconnect from the scalp. Snuff, degloving and most other extreme gore-related activities are out. No permanently altering my body without prior request like scarring, piercing, branding, and the like.
[Honestly, it's a more complete answer than he's gotten from anyone else. Even if it cuts off a few things he does want to do - snuff, gore and branding. Not things he would have expected to be okay anyway, but worth keeping in mind that he can't push toward them. Rin clearly knows what she's doing, likely more than Dodger does.
That question, though... well, his mind immediately goes to Henry complimenting him, running fingers over his scars, encouraging him through sex, reassuring him that he's always welcome. Then to dumber things - the anxiety he feels around letting people know he plays music, the embarrassment of wearing any sort of clothing that doesn't look 'masculine' enough. Anything that might give away his interests, or any part of his identity that he holds dear enough to hurt when it's picked at.
He pours himself a shot, and knocks it back.]
Pass. How many people have you slept with since you got here?
[Pass? Tch, coward. Rin huffs and decides to take a moment to eat while the food is still hot. After getting down a few mouthfuls, she answers.]
Honestly? I've lost track. And it's not like your deck is an accurate number since it doesn't count the wildcards that fail to stick around. Have you been with anyone not completely human shaped?
I try not to get with full humans if I can help it. They're jumpy, and you have to be gentle with them.
[Ignoring... that Henry is fully human. It's fine, Dodger is incredibly gentle with him all things considered.]
But I've had a few shots - there's a god I've been sleeping with here, I've fucked a demon a few times, one of my friends got turned into a harpy, one of the wildcards was a werewolf. I've seen a catboy around here, too... always been too busy to get my hands on him, but he seems interesting.
[Aak seems like bad news, honestly, and Dodger finds that intensely attractive on top of also just being into furries.]
You're into toys, right? How many men go for the whole strap-on thing?
[I've seen a catboy. The bottom of her left eye twitches, and her gaze falls away from him again. She takes a sip of her yuzu shochu to mask any frown her lips may want to make. Rin's intense wish to keep Aak from Dodger makes her stomach flip, and it takes all the restraint she can muster not to forbid him from talking to that Concoction Making Kitty. Only because she knows the moment she draws a line Dodger will want to cross it.]
Plenty of guys like it, but are too cowardly to admit it. Even posed as a man in Cloaca & Dagger once - it was fun. What kind of things won't you do in bed? I'm sure you'd like to boast you're into all the edgy stuff, but what don't you like because you think it's weird or lame?
[A good instinct - especially fresh off the heels of the Esikko thing, Dodger has some feelings about being told not to fuck someone else when it's that person's decision. He'd likely seek Aak out out of spite.
He is stuck musing on the idea of strap-ons, though. Not something he's ever touched, because he could just get the real thing from someone else, but it's not worth dismissing either. It might just be the intrigue of letting Rin dominate him, but he's still got the idea of choking on it rolling around in his head.]
I'm not edgy, I just can't get off if it's all slow and gentle.
[But he does try to put some real thought into it.]
Scat, watersports, vomit, all that shit. It all just means having to spend an hour cleaning afterward. I don't do more than two people at once, and I don't bottom. For anyone.
[He also can't bottom without having a panic attack, but he doesn't really want to advertise that. Better to just call it a preference.]
[Relief fills her as Rin realizes she successfully hid her reaction. That shifts, however, into a bit of exasperation. I don't bottom. For anyone. Says the cock thirsty weirdo desperate to put whatever he can in his mouth. Though that does bring her to—]
Only if we're friends or they're paying well for them. Sex is fleeting, but pictures are more permanent. Are you willing to be on the receiving end if you're on top?
[He grimaces, and the tapping of his fingers gets worse. Okay, so he does need to be more explicit about this.]
It's not- [huff] you can put whatever you want in my mouth. But if I try to take it the other way, I burn people. I don't have control over it, it just happens.
[He's working on it. But that's also far too embarrassing to say.]
[He takes a few more bites, just to try and calm himself down. And while he's at it, he refills his drinking glass with whiskey and drinks about half of it.]
Sounds interesting. Why? You desperate to wear one?
[A devilish smile cuts across her lips. Rin lets him see it fully before bringing her shochu up to drink as her blue eyes stare sharply with impish delight over the edge of her cup.]
[He'd been... on the fence about bringing it up. But that smile solidifies his interest a little further.]
I got one for Christmas, Henry's not into that sort of shit. Figured it would be a waste not to use it.
[Is he a little miffed that Henry's own issues with being called a dog stop him from treating Dodger like one? Absolutely. He's even more miffed that he has no one else to satisfy that craving with, since Esikko isn't speaking to him.]
If I ever do anything to you, would you feel required to reciprocate? Like let's say I don't want you to scar my body, but I feel like putting out your lit cigarette on your skin. Something like that.
[She doesn't even mind being in pain, but her body is a tool she doesn't want altered without permission.]
I'll tell you what I've told everyone else who asks that question: I'm flexible. I don't have a shining personality, so I pretty much will do whatever my partner likes to make up for it. Otherwise I probably wouldn't be able to get enough cards to make it from month to month.
[Eating between questions has become habit now. A little bite here and there as she contemplates her answer or what she should ask next. Typically, with someone like him, she would have said she wants to be in charge always. However if he's a snoop like she is... well, she'd be caught in a lie.]
Does place matter much for you? Private, public, bed, bath, couch, et cetera?
No, place doesn't really matter. I like beds and baths, but I'd fuck you right here on the table if it's what you wanted. I had to be more careful back home, but I might as well enjoy the extra freedom.
[The fidgeting is getting worse, steadily. Dodger ends up picking up his spoon just to bend it into shapes, as easily as if it were made of paper.]
You're from pretty far in the future, compared to everyone here. Why don't my scars bother you?
[She could tell him what she told Dabi, and what she told Chobe. That scars were evidence of hardship and survival against adversity. That she admired people who kept marching on despite how the world tried to break or burn them. However she liked Dabi, and felt Chobe would have little reason to pit such admiration back against her. So instead...]
[Dodger tips his head, wondering at the fact that this is the line she's drawing. He sort of expected the usual reassurances - it's a sign of survival, battles overcome, proof that whoever did that to his face didn't get to finish the job. He's spoiled, maybe, hanging around so many people from times where scars were more common. Back home, everyone just them as a sign of how dangerous he was. They're clearly not from a work accident, after all.]
In my world, people can be born 'normal' - humans - or their DNA can mutate. Mutants take all shapes, but they're treated the same. Like ticking time bombs. Public power usage is enough to lose your housing or your job, or get the police called on you if you're making enough of a scene. You can't imagine how freeing it is that no one gives a shit about it here.
[The spoon in his hands starts to heat up enough to glow, and he starts molding it more like clay. Into something fully unrecognizable.]
In my specific case, I've got super-strength and heat manipulation, and a couple other tricks. You can ask more questions if you want, I'll just match them after.

Fair enough. Pretty easy to get rich and famous without doing shit to earn it. But it's worth paying attention to the people that do.
[Like his boss, who Dodger would defend violently if necessary.]
I'd rather spend my time around people that speak quiet and carry a big stick. But I don't mind people that are all bark and all bite.
no subject
[Like to be touched, or more likely in Dodger's case - to be hurt.]
no subject
Don't really have one, I don't think. Anything's good. But getting my hair pulled is really good.
[He's touch-starved and sensory-seeking to a fault, and Rin has seen how eager he is to get hurt. Any attention, any touch whether kind or violent, is something Dodger wants.]
Is anything completely off-limits for you in bed?
no subject
Scat, watersports, and other filth-focused kinks. No pulling hair hard enough that the locks break or disconnect from the scalp. Snuff, degloving and most other extreme gore-related activities are out. No permanently altering my body without prior request like scarring, piercing, branding, and the like.
[Oh, she should probably follow up with:]
What do you consider embarrassing?
no subject

Would you let someone take pictures during sex?
no subject
Only if we're friends or they're paying well for them. Sex is fleeting, but pictures are more permanent. Are you willing to be on the receiving end if you're on top?
["Would you bounce on my strap?"]
no subject
It's not- [huff] you can put whatever you want in my mouth. But if I try to take it the other way, I burn people. I don't have control over it, it just happens.
[He's working on it. But that's also far too embarrassing to say.]
no subject
I suppose that's fine. Less work for me, then.
no subject
[He takes a few more bites, just to try and calm himself down. And while he's at it, he refills his drinking glass with whiskey and drinks about half of it.]
What's your take on putting a muzzle on someone?
no subject
[A devilish smile cuts across her lips. Rin lets him see it fully before bringing her shochu up to drink as her blue eyes stare sharply with impish delight over the edge of her cup.]

no subject
[At this point it doesn't matter much to her. She hasn't needed to take a shot yet, so Rin counts that as winning.]
no subject
I'm never boring. But I'll try to keep my strength in check so you can actually control me.
[If he had a tail he'd be wagging it.]
I'll give you another, why not.
no subject
[She doesn't even mind being in pain, but her body is a tool she doesn't want altered without permission.]
no subject
[It doesn't hurt, but he does like getting burnt. Not to mention the thrill of being disrespected like that.]
But no, I don't mind treating you different than you treat me. As long as we both get off, that's what matters, right?
[He does feel like it's required for his partner to get off, too. Otherwise he feels like he didn't do a good job, and fuck that.]
Do you always want to take charge, or do you want to get put in your place sometimes?
no subject
[Eating between questions has become habit now. A little bite here and there as she contemplates her answer or what she should ask next. Typically, with someone like him, she would have said she wants to be in charge always. However if he's a snoop like she is... well, she'd be caught in a lie.]
Does place matter much for you? Private, public, bed, bath, couch, et cetera?
no subject
[But he's going to move on, regardless.]
No, place doesn't really matter. I like beds and baths, but I'd fuck you right here on the table if it's what you wanted. I had to be more careful back home, but I might as well enjoy the extra freedom.
[The fidgeting is getting worse, steadily. Dodger ends up picking up his spoon just to bend it into shapes, as easily as if it were made of paper.]
You're from pretty far in the future, compared to everyone here. Why don't my scars bother you?
no subject
Pass.
[Rin puts back her first shot.]
no subject
Sure. Ask your next question, then.
no subject
[Let's hear it from the horse's mouth.]
no subject
[He shrugs.]
