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.

[Oh, there's a face]

Oh, oh. That is not something I should be hearing.

Do you think they... [ She leans in really close, tilting her head once to the side quickly, one eyebrow raised. Worst wife ever award goes to Amelia Pond. ]

[If he could cover his ears and go la-la-la, he would.] Good Lord. It's bad enough to hear it from her.

[ As disturbing a thought as it is, Rory's face has her laughing again, free arm moving to loop around his shoulders, tugging him back in close. ] Shouldn't you really be chasing the Doctor around with a baseball bat? Maybe a shotgun?

[Leaning close to her, then.]

Good idea, I could get my sword, hm?

Oi, that was a joke. No chopping my Raggedy Man. [ And if you promise not to, Rory, you'll get more kisses like the one you're about to receive, living up to her reputation as a fiery redhead. ]

[Which means, of course, she gets kissed right back.] If you insist.

You're kind of wrapped around my pinky finger, aren't you, Officer Williams? [ She grins and presses a kiss to his cheek. ]

Oh, I'd say so, Officer Pond.

[ Something flickers in her eyes at that and she gives him a little smirk. ] Still Pond, am I?

So everyone insists.

The Doctor calls me Amy Williams. [ She pauses, and then admits: ] well, once.

At the hotel?

[ She raises her eyebrows. ] Yes. Despite how "Mr. Pond" has such a lovely ring to it.

It's not terrible.

But Mr. and Mrs. Williams is preferred?

Which do you prefer?

I prefer... [ She thinks on it for a moment and then grins. ] Amy.

[A grin back.]

Good answer.

But, you can call me Mrs. Williams when we're alone. [ Eyebrow wiggle again. You know what she's talking about, Rory. }

[Interested party, here.] Oh, can I now?

If you'd like, of course. [ She runs a fingertip down the center of his chest dramatically, because teasing while dressed up like this (and handcuffed) is far, far to easy. ]

Of course I do.

Hey, Rory? [ She says suddenly, head tilted to the side as she looks back at him. ]

Yeeees, Amy?
