The Other Wordly meme

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.

"Really. What would you suggest? Dominos? Knitting?"
routinemercy: (don't look back)

His jaw visibly clenches at the mention of dominoes, but otherwise he betrays nothing.

"Why don't you take some time to think it over? I'll check in in a few days. Make sure you're... adjusting."
godelsolution: (bury the dead)

Don't think she doesn't notice that. "I'm sure you will. And if I haven't? Adjusted?"
routinemercy: (a thousand tulips)

He smiles faintly. "I have faith in you, Allison. You'll make the correct choices. You just require a bit of... prodding."

"And I'm sure you'd thoroughly enjoy prodding."
routinemercy: (laughing at you not with you)

A smarmy smirk spreads across his face, something you'd never have seen from Hal. It seems to suit Harry, however.

"Who doesn't enjoy a good prod every now and then?"
godelsolution: (oh whatever)

[personal profile] godelsolution 2013-12-29 07:04 pm (UTC)(link)
"Well, I don't know, Harry. I suppose it depends on the prod."

Ha, ha?
routinemercy: (wait and see)

"I've never heard complaints," he demurs. Well. Not until he drained them dry.

"Really, not one?"
routinemercy: (i get that reference)

[personal profile] routinemercy 2013-12-31 04:48 am (UTC)(link)
Harry grins. "Does that really surprise you?"
godelsolution: (do we startle)

[personal profile] godelsolution 2013-12-31 04:55 am (UTC)(link)
"Well, I don't know. Should it?"
routinemercy: (a thousand tulips)

"I could give you a demonstration, if you'd like." But he says it airily, as if he's more into unsettling Allison than actually propositioning her.
godelsolution: (it's so bright out)

[personal profile] godelsolution 2014-01-01 09:43 pm (UTC)(link)
"Oh, I bet you could." She sort of figured, at least.
routinemercy: (smooth hal)

"Yes. I could." He cants his head, studying her body shrewdly. He knows from watching her dance how limber it is. After far too long of an examination, he claps his hands softly, all business.

"Well. I think we're quite finished here. You're free to go, for now."

He leans forward, and in a quieter voice: "This is your last chance, Allison. Don't cock it up."
