[11] words like rain, how sweet the sound

The Other-Wordly Meme

Words are magical things; they can have so many lovely connotations and varied histories.
Words have family trees just like people. They are linked to each other.
Some words are full of flavor and color and describe things you never suspected there were words for.
Words are why we're here.

The meme is simple: post a comment with your muse's name and canon in the subject line.
List any preferences you may have ("No Shipping," "No Smut," etc.), if you decide to leave the next step up to responders.
Responders (or original posters, if they so decide), go to the Other-Wordly blog and hit 'Random' until you get a word. Use the word as a prompt for an RP scenario. Do this several times, if you like. Mix and match. Have fun with it!
Don't stop with a word, though! Words can often have etymologies that are at odds with their current meanings. Words can shift connotations over time. Let your imagination carry you with the words as its wind.

I hope you're all caught up. If not, don't read this until you are.

After it all, Cecil is tired. He's more tired than he's ever been in his life. It's a bone deep weariness that pulls him to his bed, even when he's so far away from it.

He doesn't go home though, doesn't return to ttheir his bed. He finds himself at Dana's house, standing in her doorway, uncertain of what he's going to do, what he wants to say.

Everything he could say to her that wouldn't be something along the lines of "You couldn't make him find a way to come home?" are out of his head and left standing and heartbroken with nothing to do but hope something happens.

Today is a day for believing in angels. Because if there are angels, then there are miracles.
