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.

[Waking up in strange places had started becoming something of a normal occurrence to Lydia. Only this wasn't just some random place in town, or the woods. This was a dark, dank room with no windows at first glance.

Her head pounded, and reaching up she could feel a knot forming on the side, dried blood in her hair.]

Oh god.

[Brittany is leaving glee club late one afternoon, and she pulls on the straps of her backpack as she starts to walk across the school parking lot. she's by herself for once and walking home.

When she spots Quinn (well it's Quinn, but it's not Quinn. Not the Quinn she knows and loves) she bites her lip and stumbles to a stop. she's not sure if she should go over or not. Quinn is angry. Quinn is sad. Quinn probably doesn't want to talk to her.

But it's Quinn.

With her lip still tight between her teeth she slowly makes her way over and stops, looking down at her feet.]

[ If she lies very still, and lets her heartbeat and breathing slow down and go quiet, then she can almost imagine that the sun in this place is hot enough to actually burn her.

It's like an echo of what sunlight has always been to her. A gentle caress where the sun of Arrakis beats you mercilessly with flaming fists.

She is too full of impressions and memories, and they all leave empty spaces behind when she manages to quiet them. It is a special kind of loneliness, that feeling.

Now she is attempting to fill those spaces with sunlight, but all it's managing so far is to make all those empty rooms inside her seem even bigger, and there is no one here who can live in them with her. There is no Leto. There is only Ghanima and a patch of grass by the lake, and the far too gentle sun. ]
