The Ups and Downs of Synonyms (New Game)

[papermoon.lady]

I hope this new game will be fun...

In this new game, you have to select a word from the sentence of the previous poster and write a new sentence with a synonym of that word that is either longer or shorter than the original word.

The next poster then chooses a new word from your sentence, selects a synonym of that word that is either longer or shorter and writes a new sentence, and so on.

For example:

- She liked to spend a lot of time at the library, reading old books and pondering about life.

The next poster chooses a word, for example old, and a synonym of a different length, for example elderly, and then writes a new sentence.

- He visited his elderly brother in his tiny apartment and listened to some nice, relaxing music with him.

And so on...

Let's get started...

BASKED - “Bring me the milk of twenty-three pure white camels!” ordered Melisande, “and pour this into my bath by the jade pillars, and perfume this with sandalwood and oil of jasmine”, and it was so done as she ordered; thus she luxuriated in the sunken bath heady with aromatics and fine with the precious milk.
