the otherwordly 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:

1. Post a comment with your muse's name and canon in the subject line.
2. List any preferences you may have ("no shipping," "no smut," etc.), if you decide to leave the next step up to responders.
3. 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!
4. 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.

"True," Garrus replies, "I just wish I didn't feel like we were extraneous. War's over; here's your holovid deal."

Garrus shrugs and turns to look down at her, "Not that I want to complain, but if this is all retirement is going to be... well, I want to find something do."

Shepard doesn't reply right away, backing up a couple of steps to drift back toward the bed. She sits, lifting her datapad in gesture to show where exactly this is coming from. "As it turns out, we've only surveyed something like a third of the planets in Citadel Space." Her head tilts just slightly. "How would you like to be the guy who finds the key to getting the relays back up and running?"
