Back when I arrived (the first time), someone posted this. It was a lot of fun, so I thought I'd do it tonight. It's better than staring at this data and willing it to change.

Word association. Reply with the first word that comes to mind. No cheating.

To start us off: help.

Professional.

[Since, well, there's no such thing as amateur help? Sort of? But maybe he could ask something else too:]

What data are you looking at?

Office.

[ Normally, she'd avoid his question. But since she somewhat showed her hand (literally) in Mick's post last month, the best she can manage is being vague. ]

DNA sequencing, metabolic rates, fluctuations and shifts in energy.

Asking?

[For her friend, of course. Who else?]

Faculty.

[It shouldn't have surprised him that that kind of research was going on.]

Is that what you studied at home?

[ She might be regretting her choice in words right now. ]

Questioning.

[What's there to regret? Rip just wants to...

Help.

:) :) :) ]

Successfully?

School.

[ That association would never go away. ]

It's part of my work back home, yeah.

[ That is terrible. Too cheesy. This could be why she's so bad at asking for help. ]

Middling.

[He's seen the names your associates come up with for villains. Caitlin has no right to say anything.]

Solo?

[ He's just jealous. And she has plenty of right to say something. ]

Always.

[Oh yes. Rip could never come up with anything quite so clever as "Captain Cold" or "Weather Wizard"]

Why?

[ No, that's right. Rip would probably just advocate killing them. ]

Habit.

[It seems someone else is living up to her name--that's rather cold.]

Break.

[ It's harsher than she should be. Oops. ]

Difficult.

[Possibly. Also possibly not harder than Rip deserves sometimes.]

Understandable...

[...This one word limit is also getting difficult.]

[ It is rather limiting. And it's also probably clear to the others that they haven't been playing the game, really. ]

Same?

[Well, they sort of are. They're limiting themselves to one word, and there is a certain measure of association involved.

Shh.]

Guilty.

[ And the conversation is keeping her just as distracted as the game would. ]

Normal.

[Especially now that she's managed to veer it away from her individual efforts?

Because Rip does see what you did there.]

Kind.

Friends.

[He would answer that way, as a typical teenager who was in high school.]

What about the data though did you want to change?

[ She wasn't trying to steer it this direction. Honest. ]

Truth.

[ As in, she's only telling the truth. ]

Family.

[ Because that's what her friends are for her. Her family. ]

The results. I know they're right, but I very much want them to be wrong.

[Wasn't she? Well. It's quite possible Rip remains ever too cynical.]

Still.

[Even if it is all truth, Rip's most flattering comparison recently was to a cockroach. So yes; he sees it as kind.]

Nobody.

[Ha ha. An easy one.]

Needed.

[ Because everyone needs some kindness. Deserves some kindness. ]
