meme #007 | classic word association ( murder: employment )



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."

[ his job is dangerous, but hopefully not that dangerous. (you never know.)

he appreciates the thought. ]

Matured?

Apologies.

[ said after a pause. and he is sorry; for bringing it up, opening old wounds maybe. ]

Accepted.

[ there are no wounds to open - they didn't close. the league let him fester, rot away, break into pieces so they can build him back up again. it's a decent trade-off for cold hard revenge. ]

[ that does not make it any better. in fact, that might be worse. ]

Cause?

[ his first instinct is to push and ask how, but he does have enough sense and empathy not to do that outside an interrogation, so he falls silent for a moment.

then: ] Respite.

[ an offer, maybe. ]

[ he nods in acknowledgement, and racks it up as a moral debt. everything is a debt or a favor owed, with men like barsad - it would be good to remember this. a debt owed to you by men of extremes might come in handy to you, someday. ]

Accepted.

[ bell is not the kind of man likely to cash in that kind of debt. nor is he the kind of man to see this interaction as accruing a debt. ]

Follow.

[ and it's not an order nor a request but bell turns and starts walking. his place isn't far away and he's got alcohol, a few good movies and food. it's not ideal and there's no promise that it'll take barsad's mind of anything — but at the very least he gets some company and bell won't ask questions about his child.

it's the best he can do under the circumstances. ]
