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.

I thought you might ask me about bronze wings. About metal in the moonlight.

Or did I speak to you of that one before?

[oldmancreed]

Bronze wings gave me pause.

Tell me.

[amaranthine]

A harpy.

I met her when I was caught and caged. Before the magician changed my shape.

[oldmancreed]

Heard of those.

[All those hours of listening to Mr. Howlett tell Jimmy stories pays off now and then.]

Betting she wasn't all that nice.

[amaranthine]

No.

But I think of her often. She was drawn to me, and I to her.

[oldmancreed]

You're both different, but also the same.

I'm different, too, but not in the same way.

[amaranthine]

To know a creature exists, so like and unlike yourself—

Perhaps that's why in some ways she haunts me more than the Bull.

[oldmancreed]

She belongs to herself. The Bull doesn't. He's weak just by being mastered.
