The Other-Wordly Meme

Words are magical things; they can have so many lovely connotations and varied histories.
Words have family trees just like people. They are linked to each other.
Some words are full of flavor and color and describe things you never suspected there were words for.
Words are why we're here.

The meme is simple: post a comment with your muse's name and canon in the subject line.
List any preferences you may have ("No Shipping," "No Smut," etc.), if you decide to leave the next step up to responders.
Responders (or original posters, if they so decide), go to the Other-Wordly blog and hit 'Random' until you get a word. Use the word as a prompt to write up an RP scenario. Do this several times, if you like. Mix and match. Have fun with it!
Don't stop with a word, though! Words can often have etymologies that are at odds with their current meanings. Words can shift connotations over time. Let your imagination carry you with the words as its wind.

[No, please she would have used her mafia magic to find him a decent place to stay. Especially if she is visiting.]

That's a pretty long time. [Just... in case... he didn't realize?]

[still best gurlf tbh.]

No shit. [it's also ... how long he's going to be alive, ok.]

Not everyone gets to live forever, you know.

Maybe it's better that way. Seems like it'd get lonely after awhile.

Maybe there is a club.

An immortality support group?

[For some reason that makes her laugh, a little hysterical from her sleepiness and general over-emotional state.]

That's funny, but I can't tell if it is because it's ridiculous or because there probably is one.

[he gives her the most half-hearted elbowing ever.] I don't think I'd do well in something like that. I don't play nice with others.

Does that make me the exception to the rule? [She stands up and because it's the edge of the friggin' tub and not a chair she actually gains some height, so when she tugs on his hand its got the insistance of helping him up.]

[he gets up and starts walking out of the bathroom, this time being the one to tug her along.] Maybe. You're exceptional in nearly every other way.

[what a smooth motherfucker tbh.]

[So smooth, and exactly what Lila needs, so she basically just eats it right up. Like some kind of monster that exists solely on compliments and praise... so basically she is human, WHO KNEW.]

That's true.

[isn't it nice to know that they can obsessively eat each other's praise like the norse snake that eats itself??] And so humble, too. [tralala they're going to bed ... ]

Fuck modesty. It's basically lying. [AND CLEARLY LILA DOESN'T LIE OKAY, SHE IS A BASTION OF HONESTY.]

[SO IS SYLAR, OKAY. or maybe just a hypocrite anyway because he goes insane when people ~~lie~~ to him.] Couldn't have said it better myself.

[and then he flops down on the bed, emotionally exhausted from ... life.]

[She doesn't flop because she is a delicate flower. And damp, so fling goes her dress over there and then she curls up under the covers like a cat. A delicate flower cat.]

I have a particular way with words. [Yaaaaaaawn, she just gonna pass out in five seconds lbr.]

Mm. [it's okay, sylar is too. but not before becoming big spoon first.]

[And then they pass out and it's adorable which is weird because its them.]
