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.

"We should still be careful."

She takes a couple flashlights out of her bag and passes one to him.

"Let me know if you hear anyone coming."

"Thanks." Taking it, turning it on. "I will. You too."

[formersurgeon]

"Sure."

As they head in, though, the sound of their footsteps bounce off the walls to the tunnel, creating an eerie echo. Joan stops for a moment, listening, then starts again, more slowly, taking the time to carefully place each foot.

"It shouldn't be too long from here to the building proper." Past the incinerator, of course. And they'll have to move a cart out of the way.

She nods, her flashlight playing over the walls and the floor. When they come to the cart, she goes behind it and pushes, wincing as the wheels squeal.

"They probably won't hear it. Thick floors." He hopes.
