🎇 july word association meme 🌭

[fourhearts]

Word Association is a common word game involving an exchange of words that are associated together. The game is based on the noun phrase word association, meaning "stimulation of an associative pattern by a word" or "the connection and production of other words in response to a given word, done spontaneously as a game, creative technique, or in a psychiatric evaluation." ~ our lord and saviour wikipedia GUIDELINES ① post with your character's name & series. ② include a word of your choice and optionally the definition in the body of your comment. -- visit the random word generator if you need help! ③ other characters will reply with the first word their character associates with the one you chose. ④ continue back and forth until one of you just has to know the story behind an answer.

(( give him a second to google the english word for phoenix... and then struggle to pronounce it with that spelling! ))

[meltinglight]

[Cute!! Tomoe has been to Busan a few times, and he goes for the attempt at saying Phoenix back in Korean!]

[bagelbites]

(( it's such a small thing but it makes dal very happy. so happy, his whole face lights up in excitement. ))

Yes! That!

[meltinglight]

[High five for language learners~]

That's two words. I win~

[bagelbites]

Ah!

(( cue a pout, though it's a little playful. definitely good-natured. ))

I'm not good at word games.

[meltinglight]

You'll improve the more you play. It's okay to lose, word games are a lot of fun!

[bagelbites]

I like these kinda games.

[meltinglight]

They're relaxing, aren't they? Ne, have you done today's Wordle? [Pulling out his phone-] Let's do it together!

[bagelbites]

(( dal blinks, peering curiously at tomoe's phone ))

What's wordle?

[meltinglight]

You haven't heard of Wordle? [SHOCKED.] It's easy to play, see? You have a few chances to guess a 5 letter word.

[bagelbites]

Just one word?

[meltinglight]

Yep. The horizontal lines are your remaining guesses. The game will tell you if any of the letters are correct. Pick a word, let's see if we can do it!

[bagelbites]

(( one word, five letters... dal looks down, actually counting on his fingers. ))

Begin?

[meltinglight]

[If you're not a native speaker, games like this are a fun way to keep English fresh. Tomoe doesn't think anything of the finger-counting other than Dal has pretty hands.]

The letter E turned green, so that means it is in the correct position. [After tapping the word on the screen, and thinking that BEGIN is a beautifully appropriate selection for Dal's first time.] Good pick!

All the others are grey. That means the word you're looking for doesn't have the letters b, g, i or n, anywhere.

[bagelbites]

(( a quiet little oh escapes him. the gameplay makes more sense to him now that he's seeing it. now he needs a minute to find a word he knows that doesn't repeat the letters b, g, i, or n. ))

Leaks?
