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

[ brother, naturally, but even though they don't go by the same last name she doesn't want to give away any hint of his existence, for both their safety. she's lived long enough without him it's barely a beat for her to resort to ]

Follows.

[hulk]

Stalked.

[ And it's back to that tension, in the twitch of his jaw and the line of his shoulders. ]

[eisenhardt]

Obsession.

[ it's evident they're both hiding from something, or someone. mice who have happened to find themselves in the same hole. her spine is ramrod straight, the word spoken with all its due weight. ]

[hulk]

Unhealthy.

[ For those holding it, and those held within it. He agrees with the weight, though a little relieved because while he knows they're still out there for now at least the crosshairs aren't trained quite so closely. Breathing - it's a luxury he can appreciate. ]

[eisenhardt]

Malnourished.

[ that one, though, she has to distance herself from, that word and concept and set of memories she's not faced with daily and hasn't mastered. she says it with an upward, somewhat prideful tip of her chin, as though the associations, the reasons for her choosing, are there but below her notice. ]

[hulk]

[ His chin dips, hands slipping into his pockets as his shoulders breathe out a shrug. Never been as far as that, but he remembers what it was like to be hungry with his stomach clawing as his spine and his head twisting tight and his knees wobbled. ]

Metabolism.

[eisenhardt]

Diet.

[ something she finds so trivial to fuss over the way young women often do. that people concern themselves with eating too much -- it can't be considered a problem to her, and clearly it isn't for either of them. he's very lean for a man, more noticeably so when he furls in on himself like that. it's an appealing sight, actually. a lack of self-certainty isn't attractive, necessarily, but it's not as repulsive as confidence. ]

[hulk]

[ Gamma boosts mean an extra d20 roll to metabolism at any and all mealtimes. True story. ]

Balance.

[ Diets are trivial so long as people are healthy, but balance... That's something much more vital, and how he knows it now. He'd never envied high-wire acts before and living one certainly hasn't changed his mind. ]
