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

[ 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. ]

Escape.

[ It's a good setup, or would be better if Bruce weren't so very easy to read without words as he crosses his arms, tries not to shrug it off. He was better at this before becoming legitimate again - or he'd like to think so. ]

[eisenhardt]

Artist.

[ she's fluent in body language, a leftover skill from her youth. reading people was an important ability in the war, from stiff authoritative backs to intimate glances beneath bowed eyes. some days it felt futile to learn and retain these things, like amorous death would take the knowledge along with everything else, and others it felt like the only thing keeping her alive. for now she doesn't provide him with anything in return except the infusion of subtle passion beneath her inexpressive face. ]
