word association

[puzzlingly]

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 characters, durrrr 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.

Paparazzi.

Absolutely. I'm all about sunshine, lollipops and rainbows.

I haven't a clue what that word means. I suppose that means you've won.

We're a cheerful team, then. Can't get a case of melancholia from us.

They're photographers who sell pictures to tabloids.  They have no limits.  They'll take a picture of a grieving, frightened girl at the house where her parents died or where her friend died.

Yup.  We're pure joy.

[Tyki has a flat, irritated look at that. Despite his family's tendency to prey on the mourning for monster making, in his human personality he finds that sort of thing distasteful.] How charming. Perhaps leech would have been a good response.

Absolutely. It's nice to have warm and optimistic people around.

[am_i_a_monster]

Leech would have been the perfect response. And a few other words, but I've been told that profanity is rude. We can't have that with such shinny, happy conversation.

Of course not. Can't let the truth and some rough but still truthful slang sully the wonderful, positive time we're having. Might as well keep it pleasant.
