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. based on this meme and stripped down yep sorry

Spirit.

[hulk]

Heart.

[ But he's very tired, saying it - 'body' wouldn't have been remiss at all. ]

[eisenhardt]

Organ.

[ she levels herself with a solid, nearly neutral answer. the mind means more to her. it is a safer and more mysterious place. ]

[hulk]

Bones.

[ Minds are safer, but he's not allowed to get lost. Has to keep track of himself otherwise... Well. Nobody needs to figure out the otherwise right now. ]

[eisenhardt]

Cage.

[ she wouldn't endeavor to figure him out lest he take it as invitation to do the same to her, which is why this method of conversation is suiting her, at least in this instance. very little take, even less give. ]
