the otherwordly 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:
1. Post a comment with your muse's name and canon in the subject line.
2. List any preferences you may have ("no shipping," "no smut," etc.), if you decide to leave the next step up to responders.
3. 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 to write up an RP scenario. Do this several times, if you like. Mix and match. Have fun with it!
4. 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.

[remugient, adj.: ringing, resounding, reverberating]

[It had been Aleph's idea to have another wedding ceremony. Their first had been a casual affair, without even rings initially. Now that they were capable of going to and from worlds, they had the time to have something fancier.

He still didn't want to incorporate much religion into his wedding, if any, but there was one thing he wanted: the ringing of wedding bells. He couldn't say why, but it made everything seem more significant to tell anyone in earshot: "two people were married today".

Of course, if April wanted otherwise, they would have otherwise.]

You're all right with the bells?

[April hadn't really understood why bells were used at first, really. But as she thought about it, she found she liked the idea of people being able to hear that there had been people getting married, since it sounded sweet.

So, she doesn't hesitate to give Aleph a nod, looking up and giving him a soft smile.]

Ah, yep, I'm alright with them. What about you?

I think I'd really like them. I'm glad Gaian temples still have them.

[Well, he had to be again-married someplace, and it wasn't going to be a Messian church.]

Mm, same here! ... Do you know why they use bells, though?

Not really. Bells are nice.

Mm, they are nice... Is there anything else we would need, though?

Don't couples get stuff thrown at them after the wedding?

... Huh? Why would people throw stuff at the couples?

Not heavy stuff. Rice and things.

Oh! That's good... Though why rice?

Fertility, I guess? I don't know.

... F-fertility? [So much blushing now.] Oh, well, that would make sense...

...we don't have to have the rice.

W-w-well... Well, we w-w-won't be doing, uh, 't-that' anyway so we d-don't need the, uh, rice...

...maybe rose petals.

Oh, that would be nice! Maybe red and white or pink ones...

I can get us all three if you want.

... Huh, really? But, ah, you don't have to!

Why not? I'd like it to be the best day it can be.
