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.

[Her fingers tap against the seat as she leans back against it, keeping beat along with him. Eventually, her head starts slightly bopping in time as well.]

I've been...busy. You know how life gets.

[What with family dying, working, and space travel.]

I plan on popping up more often, if that makes any difference.

[lovemesomepie314]

Sure. So what do you do? [ Obviously that's the default reason why people are busy. Work, work, work. Dean would know all about that. ]

Something international? [ It's the accent. ]

I teach seventh year English, do quite a bit of traveling.

[She tries to explain her time and space hopping as quickly and easily as possible, but it's difficult to do without it sounding frivolous. So she just shrugs.]

It's hard to stay in one place for too long.

[lovemesomepie314]

But you stay around for the semester, how does that work? [ Mildly confused but he doesn't honestly care that much. As long as it keeps her content and happy.

So he shrugs, easily. ] I had some place until I was 8, ever since I've lived on the road. So no judgment from me.

I have access to a...plane, I suppose you could say.

[She'll have to work up to the time machine angle, it's not exactly something you drop on someone before you get a few drinks in them. ]

I'm looking to be teaching here in the states. That's why I'm here.

[Awkward.]

Living on the road since you were that young, though. That must have been hard.

[lovemesomepie314]

An access to a plane? [ Trust him, that already sounds weird. She doesn't look like she's some filthy rich teacher, or friends with some filthy rich people either. Maybe she has an angel chained up in her basement.

To be honest, Dean wouldn't care that much. Those feathery assholes have it coming for them. ]

That's something. [ He laughs. ] Good luck with all that.

And nah. It's just the life. [ He shrugs, easy going. This is not a tragic topic. Not really. ]
