if you leave the key off the staff - then you're likely in the key of C... :-) but with the proper markings for sharps/flats etc on notes, you could. adding the key indicator is there as a shortcut for commonly used notes to "automatically" be assumed to be sharp or flat without excessive repetitive decoration.

You don't need to tie the score to any particular tonality. In the key signature palette there is an "atonal" key signature It looks like a grey cross. The cross will not print or show up in a pdf export. It is commonly used for orchestral horn parts which traditionally are written with no key signature. It differs from a "C maj" key signature as it will remain empty of flats or sharps even if you transpose the staff or change to an instrument with a different transposition (e.g. from Horn in F to Horn in E).
