Karel/Mark/Volke under the cut hehe

SFW questions-

Do they have petnames/nicknames for each other? Is there a reason why not, or a reason they picked what they did? Mark doesn't do petnames much at all, but Karel took up calling them "lovely" towards the end of the war, out of an accidental almost-love-confession, and it stuck. Volke? He started off calling Mark "sweetheart" as a joke. It quickly wasn't a joke anymore. And Karel and Volke both have a habit of referring to each other as "that man" when referencing one another in conversation... It was somewhat petty at first, and now, it isn't, it's quite affectionate. ... It isn't a petname, but Volke will playfully call Mark a bitch to their face and they're not only ok with this but both into this.

Who cooks? What's their favorite thing to cook? Look at these three. None of them can cook. No, I'm kidding, Karel can cook - he does impressive things with meats. And if you got them into a decent kitchen, Mark can cook, but doesn't like to. They're actually really good at desserts. Something if they ever bothered to try, they'd find out that Volke likes quite a lot. Him? He does not cook. He makes really good coffee and tea, though. Great with getting the water temperature just right to bring out the flavors.

Is there something one of them is quite bad at cooking? Do they get better? Volke tried breakfast once and did not improve, he instead paid someone to do it better. Mark... certainly did try to make soup once for Karel back in Elibe and it came out... You know the scene in LOTR where Eowyn makes soup for Aragorn? Like so. They actually did work on it, can now make a nice, passable stew.

Are they ok with PDA? What counts as public to them? Are there levels? Despite being so touchy-feely in private, Volke doesn't initiate much affection in public, though, his definition of public is... questionable. He likes semi-public shenanigans quite a lot, risky business. Mark is all business when anyone from the order is around, and in fact comes off pretty coldly when they're in tactician-brain. Karel doesn't think much of being affectionate, and with how both Mark and Volke are, it's a nonissue, but if he had to consider it, he doesn't really want anything that could draw attention if there's a lot of people around.

What level of pain/sickness are they comfortable showing each other? Is there anything they hide? Mark hates being sick or otherwise feeling poorly around anyone at all, both Volke and Karel included, but especially Karel. They can't quite shake the feeling he might be judging them (he isn't, he doesn't hold them to the same standards he has for himself). They're also physically frail in some very conspicuous ways, though, so it's not something they can wholly avoid. They're a bit more comfortable being ill or injured around Volke, will still downplay it. Karel? Karel isn't sick or injured ever, what are you talking about? No but really, he's exceptionally private about it, he'd sooner disappear for a week and lick his own wounds. He is frigid as hell about it if he has to be under someone's care. Volke? Volke would put up some token resistance, but if either of them wanted to dote on him, he'd actually love it if he got taken care of.

Are they the marrying types? Or something else? Mark doesn't consider themself to be the marrying type, avoids thinking about it. Every time there's one of those festivals, they get all squirrelly and have somewhere else to be. They're not unpacking that. Karel? He'd do it, but it's just a piece of paper to him. He's already wholeheartedly committed without it. Volke...? Contracts have significant weight for him, and that one especially would. It's not something he'd ever push for, but if one of them got down on one knee for him, he'd be incredibly flustered and incredibly into it.

If they lived together, whose name(s) goes on the lease/mortgage? Oh, Volke's, hands down. That's the man with the credit score. Mark would insist on theirs too, just because they're a control freak. Karel wouldn't care at all. He lives there. Volke would push him into being on it due to the legal risks of not.

Is there any early bird/night owl split? How do they deal with it, if so? Well, Karel doesn't sleep much at all, and both Mark and Volke have an understanding that if he is asleep anywhere, any time, that he gets to stay asleep. They will do everything in their power not to wake him up. Mark can sleep through most things, but can also be up... basically any time, so little concern there either. They're used to a really flexible sleep schedule through all of the wars. Volke? Don't wake him up unless there's a reason or else he's cranky. But his sleep is also pretty flexible, he takes it where he can get it. He has a habit of being up late. Common situation of the three of them all giving one another shit for being up at 2am... despite that they are all up at 2am to do so.

Do they have hobbies that take up a lot of space? Is this ever a problem, if so? Mark has books, maps, writing implements, miniatures Everywhere. It isn't just limited to the war room, and if you touch any of the arrangements, they get cranky. Common habit that they'll use random objects to hold books open, including other books, which are in turn held open precariously by a pen laid across it... Given the purpose, Volke and Karel both leave it all alone, mostly. Karel badgers them that they're going to get something blown over at some point and lose their work if anyone opens a window on a breezy day, which has happened. Volke has a habit of tucking flowers, notes, other things into these arrangements. Karel has also found things tucked amongst his swords...

Who slams the oven, and who plays the trombone? ( https://knowyourmeme.com/memes/when-mama-isnt-home ) Is it a trombone, or a different instrument? Mark slams the oven. Volke plays the violin. Karel stands uncomfortably in the background.

Who can keep plants alive? If nobody, who has the best rate of success? Karel can in fact keep a plant alive, bless his heart. He keeps a mint plant in a pot that Mark had found and against their better judgement taken along from one of their battle sites. It's in a window in the armory. Why does he keep it? He would shrug and just ask why not. He munches on the leaves sometimes. Volke could but doesn't care to. Mark? Cannot. They can't remember to take care of it.

Are they in agreement over shoes off or shoes on inside? They're running all over the castle, nobody has time to take their shoes off or put them back on regularly. Mark gets really cross over shoes on furniture, though. Especially shoes on the bed. Karel is in agreement, shoes don't go on bedding, because if he's in the bedroom, he's there to relax, and that means shoes off. Volke will not tell either of them about how much he naps on various furniture with his shoes on. He gets very technical with it, where just the soles will be off the edge. Mark wants to be annoyed at this but feels like it isn't reasonable. He is following the rules. Technically. Gods.

Do they stick to fairly fixed roles in their relationship, or is it flexible? Realizing I should have put this one into nsfw XD It's loose, but has a general vibe. Karel? He's passive until something is initiated towards him, at which point he'll step up. He will do... literally anything Mark asks of him. If we were gonna get into top-bottom-etc... submissive top. Otherwise? He does his own thing and minds himself, outwardly. Volke is very active and can be a driving force in the relationship when Mark isn't. You could reduce it to his being a service top. I'm just gonna throw out there that if this was getting fanworks, he'd get fanonized as being their dom, a lot. They trade off being in charge. At the beginning of things, Mark was more than happy to let Volke take the lead because he stepped into that role very naturally. As they've gotten more comfortable with one another, Mark has seen that same tiredness in him as he saw in them, and takes up some of the slack. Their default is submissive bottom With Opinions. Take the role assignments a bit tongue in cheek - I'd argue it's more nuanced than that.

Who would take up more of the closet? What do they have the most of? ... Shockingly: Volke. Once he's settled into being in a fixed location, he gets more clothes and especially accessories than the other two combined - which still isn't a lot, and a lot of it is functional, for covert operations, but, still. Not all of it is for him, though. He also gets various things for Mark. He finds it charming when they dress a bit finer. He has all of that money, you see. Mark just has a lot of coats.

NSFW questions~

Are they particular about where to/not to have sex, like nothing on food prep surfaces, only in bed, nothing outdoors? If so, what are the rules? Are they in agreement about said rules? :3 Volke will fuck anywhere mostly out of sight, especially if it's a bit scandalous. Karel? He prefers some discretion, though he has a bit of a thing for doing it outside, somewhere scenic. Mark doesn't like the idea of being caught by any of the heroes, so wants some degree of privacy, but trusts the other two such as to go along with just about anything they want.

Are sex toys something casual, or reserved for special occasions, or not used at all? So they don't really have any on hand in Askr (...not for lack of availability... they're just not looking for em), but, if I transpose them to somewhere it would be more likely to come up? Karel still never thinks about them, so with him? Not really a thing. Mark, on the other hand? Has definitely thought about pegging him, but the nature of things in Askr, how busy things are, has made them pretty shy to bring that up... (...writes that in the wip doc). It would be a special occasion thing for them, what with the prep work they'd want to do to make sure a good time was had. It's fortunate for both of them though, especially Mark, that Askr hasn't invented vibrators yet. Volke would be a menace. He'd be almost too casual about it for Mark's health.

How about roleplay? Casual, or something that would be meticulously planned out? Can they stay serious during it? Also does not occur to Karel to do, but, he would be deadly serious with it were it ever brought up to him. He would have a whole persona cultivated. Likely something he already had some familiarity with, like some kind of teacher/student thing, but that's where it would err XD he'd do the scenario too straight. Mark would just get tired, they can only take so many sword drills. They wanted a different kind of sword... So then it does get silly, because they make it so. Mark? Mark has a really hard time not being flirty and a little silly during roleplay, and it's something they would just start casually as a situational joke, "it's like you're my boss... (starts running their mouth about that)" sorts of things, but also, they'd be very open to something more planned out. Volke? That's a lot of work, but also, he's great at it with a bit of time to plan or with something he already knows. He could run a hell of a stranger in a bar pickup, a break-in turned sexy, sexy kidnapping, sexy extortion, sexy interrogation, whatever, really, if either of them ever wanted it.

Do they change the sheets after sex, or just avoid the wet spot? Firmly team avoid, especially since a lot of the linen care isn't in their own hands and they're not trying to sleep on a bare mattress while waiting for laundry to come back. Volke though specifically does try to avoid making a mess.

How pressed do they get if the other doesn't orgasm during sex? Is it personal? Doesn't come up much, they're all three very sexually compatible, and Mark is very easy. But Mark would in fact struggle greatly not to take it very personally. It'd be a whole thing. Volke? Much more "eh, try again later" approach. Karel... might take it more personally than Mark does, in fact. This is a man who is used to getting results.

Would they be bothered by a pet walking into the room? ... Volke could and would pet a cat while getting fucked. Mark would be weirded out but would let it continue and find it kinda funny once Volke finally shooed it away. Karel doesn't like that at all. It's looking at him. It would throw him off his game.

Are they comfortable being intimate if a housemate was at home? If so, do they try to be quieter? Mark and Karel had so, so much quiet sex during Mark's time in Elibe and it's in fact the norm for them, given the encampment situation, which... Certainly was analogous to housemates. They're quite comfortable with it. In fact, getting Karel to make noise at all is rare. Volke similarly is fine with others being in earshot so long as he has some cover and will be quiet, even down to covering a partner's mouth to keep them quiet, if the situation calls for it. But here's the thing about him is that sometimes, if it's low stakes? He does not feel like the situation calls for it. He gets a little thrill from his partner knowing they could be overheard. Mark? Mark has come to terms with others knowing they have an active sex life but gets embarrassed drawing attention to it.

Are their sex drives pretty well aligned, or different? How do they handle it? Karel has a pretty low sex drive but is very receptive to advances from his partners. Mark and Volke are both high and they take full advantage of that. Karel is very amicable to this situation, it works out well for him since they'll bring him in when he's wanted but otherwise they take care of their needs. Mark gets worried sometimes that he doesn't get enough, but it's an ongoing conversation.

Is the relationship open to other partners? If so, what are the rules around it? How would a conversation around opening it go? It's something they actually should talk more about lmao but probably won't. Karel had of course prompted Mark to seek other partners but there's an unspoken expectation that they're not just fucking around with just anyone - he really had just meant "go talk to that thief that keeps making eyes at you" which is...hmm. probably not great! Mark is quite loyal, though, and wouldn't go looking, but duplicates are another story... I have done some art and consider it to be vaguely canon. And Volke certainly supports it. Karel? He was prior just Marksexual, and has allowed Volke into that, is really not interested at all in other people. Volke? Would happily fuck other people with Mark if they so wished if said others were his vibe, but isn't looking. He would prefer they're all primarily committed to each other.

If applicable, is contraception something they think about? Mark is insane about it until they have some work done to make it a moot point. Like it's something they were so extremely anxious about and made use of every available precaution up to making themself quite ill with it in Elibe. Karel? He pulled out by default anyway. He wasn't trying to mess with all of that. The mention in talk of war? It was...complicated. Volke... He hates pulling out, and there's some idle thought in the back of his head that the Concept of getting Mark pregnant would be fun, but it's not something he actually wants. It's nice for him that it's a nonissue and he can think about their having mommy milkers all in his head. If it did happen? He wouldn't really be upset about it, except for how much it would make Mark freak out.

Are marks/bites something they'll let be done to them? Do they cover them or have rules about where they can be done? Mark prefers any ...marks....be able to be covered by their clothes, but that's not hard with how much they wear - does like receiving them, especially on the neck. Karel likes aggression enacted on him in general, likes being bitten, marked, scratched, and wears it very openly. Volke wishes a bitch would bite him. Either of them should get on that. He isn't trying to cover anything, but his clothes do that by default.

How long did they wait after getting together to have sex? It is in fact how Mark initiated getting together with both of them (: Mark "let's be fuckbuddies" lastname is just like this. They may or may not hold people at arm's length emotionally (:

Any uncommon kinks/fetishes? Would they bring it up, and how so? Karel does not bring it up, but he has a thing for tears, especially ones from overstimulation. Mark has a huge fixation on both of their partners' footwear. Wants to rub off on them. Not subtle about it, but also doesn't directly bring it up.

The only hotel they can get accommodations at is a sexy themed one – how do they feel about it? What room theme are they picking? Karel would think it's just really pointless, not worth the time to worry about it, whatever room is cheapest, they're just going to be sleeping there anyway. He is dead wrong. Mark pretends not to be interested? Actually really wants the room themed like a magical forest. Volke thinks they're all fun in a cliche way, and could work with any of them, but would notice Mark lingering on that one. He's going to be insufferable with it, truly. They're both losing their names to the fae. He is the fae. He owns them now. It's a bit silly <3
