Trespassing isn’t much of a thing in Norway.
The country has a law called ‘allemannsretten,’ meaning ‘every man’s right’ or 'the right to roam,’ that dates back to ancient times and allows you to freely roam and camp on all uncultivated land- as long as you show respect for nature and pick up your trash.
The word for ‘great-grandchildren’ in Icelandic is ‘barnabarnabarna’, which literally translates as 'child a child a child.’
“She loves deeply, regardless of the love she gets in return, and it is both her greatest strength and her biggest weakness.”

I have played in LARP games where there was a safe word both to pause the game itself, and to call for help and have it be understood that you meant it out of game, rather than in-game.
I have played in LARP games on city streets where, because real world cries for help would be understood literally by those uninvolved, we had in-game codes for calling for authorities to assist in-game. Those games still had codes for making gameplay itself stop, and making it clear that real life assistance was needed.
ANY time it’s possible plain language might not be heeded or properly understood, having another layer for clarity is a useful idea.
This is pretty common in any kind of improv theater which has what we call "street work," like a Ren Faire. Because you're playing out scenes which may involve emulating distress, you need a way to say "there's a real problem." Thus, the ren faires I've been at use "in faith" and "in sooth."
"In faith, there's trouble brewing between X and Y!" = X and Y are play-fighting and doing a scene!
"In sooth, X and Y are fighting!" = No, really, the actors are really throwing down, help for real!
Anytime situations like this might occur, whether it's in TTRPGs, BDSM, or improv theater, you need ways to say "no, this is real."
For LOTUS victims, crisis actors in English
(A crisis actor (aka actor-patient or actor victim) is a trained actor, role player, volunteer, or other person engaged to portray a disaster victim during emergency drills to train first responders such as police, firefighters or EMS personnel. Crisis actors are used to create high-fidelity simulations of disasters in order to allow first responders to practice their skills and help emergency services to prepare and train in realistic scenarios as part of full-scale disaster exercises)
we were told in first aid training that their safe word is ‘no play’
So when they say ‘no play” its an actual medical emergency.

Their cult teaches them that the world is full of scary monster people who hate them for being so good and loved by god. If you swear at them and call them names or get in their face you’re just doing the cults work for it.
I’m not saying you have to listen to their presentation or try to debate them (and really getting into a debate without thoroughly understanding what they’re being taught will just make things worse)… I am just saying to be polite and say no thank you like if they were trying to hand you a flyer for something you don’t care about.
It’s easier for them to see the world outside their bubble as less scary if they see everyday people just going about their business and being as nice to them as you are to everyone else. This goes doubly for anyone who happens to dress modestly, not swear, and not drink or smoke because whatever you believe, they’ll see you as a “good” person who happens to strangely have no interest in their “message”, and that might be enough to get some curious about the possibility of themselves living in the real world.
It’s sometimes hard to be nice to people who seem to represent something you dislike. Just remember these “elders” are sheltered young men, some of which are getting their first real contact with people of other/no faiths.
