into each life some rain must fall.

[luft]

caught in the rain
it started out quietly, and then, quite suddenly, you're caught in a storm. time to find cover. nothing much to do but to wait it out.

i. WHERE;
001 PLAYGROUND - well, you can try to hide under the slide or maybe in the jungle gym... at least you're some place fun?
002 PARK - always happens, caught outside trying to take advantage of the weather... and it ends up pulling a fast one on you.
003 STORE FRONT - better hope they have an awning you can take advantage of.
004 THE BEACH - not exactly the best place to be during a rainstorm, however it is possible to get caught in a sudden storm.
005 WILD CARD - anyway you want it.

ii. HOW;
001 TREE - not the best cover, but it'll have to do, stay close to the roots and you won't get too wet.

[fragileprophet]

It was sunny just a minute ago...

[Ion sighs in resignation from where he's stuck underneath the tall tree. He had just wanted to get some fresh air, was all! Could anyone really blame him? Always being forced to stick around indoors, to be wary of his weaknesses.

Certainly, the green-haired youth wouldn't have sneaked outside if he knew the weather would've turned so poor so quickly. He presses his back against the trunk, and laces his hands over his head in a futile attempt to provide more shelter than the leaves are providing.

He supposes he could try to find more substantial cover, but didn't want to risk winding up in the Cathedral completely soaked through and shivering. Mohs would certainly be displeased.]

[withaz]

[She wonders for a moment if she should just hit him with the umbrella and then walk off because she can't even begin to touch on how offensive that is. Waste his time more like she's the waste of time, is that what he means because that's how she took that and she might actually hit him anyway.]

Fine. I'm not that happy here. But it's better to be unhappy at home than halfway across the world.

[She can't say and I thought you were here to fight for me because it's too embarrassing and too painful to say out loud.]

Happy now?

[safely]

You think?

[ She looks pleased at that, however it's given. Her mouth purses into a small 'o' of surprise, like it hadn't occured to her to go through all that, those beginning pleasantries. Her face flushes again and she stops walking, makes sure the wool of her glove isn't too soaked (much like the attention to his own hand, almost mimicing the gesture) before taking his palm in hers. ]

Judith Heins. I'm, kind of new here— you can probably tell by the— [ She mimes a motion with her hand, fist opening near her mouth with her fingers splayed. Something to do with verbalizing, at any rate. ] —accent.

[fragileprophet]

[Regardless of how heavily the rain has managed to begin pouring, causing Ion to dart under the shelter of a building's overhang, he can't help but smile. He doesn't want to get too wet, lest Anise or anyone else worry about him, but he can't help but stick his hands out, palms up, to catch the rain. His gloves quickly darken from the water, but it only makes him laugh gently.

Nature was so beautiful, in all its forms. He didn't mind standing around for a little. Surely, the rain would let up soon! There was no point brooding in negativity.]

[erred]

I'd go with the boots. Accents don't really change unless you've been around for years; new boots might just be new but— most of the time they're pretty hardy. [ A shrug, then, as he wrinkles his nose. ] Then again, I might just be fishing. It's nice t' meet you, Judith. Not every day someone offers t' share their umbrella.

[ He hesitates a beat before starting to walk again, making a sort of after you gesture despite the fact that they have to walk relatively in sync. ]

So, um. How long've you been in the city?

Well, hello there!

[lightfabre]

[The others are all in the Inn, while Luke had decided to walk with Ion. It actually felt really nice to hang out with the other replica. Ion was so peaceful and gentle-something his other teammates were not. The rain starts and he is right next to the Fon Master with a faintly surprised expression. Where did that come from?]

Sheesh, there could have been a better warning. [He pokes his head out from under the small shelter.] It was barely even cloudy...

[Luke leans back under the protection of the overhang, his hair and face now wet. A sigh escapes him, before he glances back at Ion.] Well, I guess we should wait and see if it clears u-...

[Never mind, it is raining even harder.] Heh, guess I... spoke too soon, huh?

this tag made me squeal with happiness you have no idea ALSO YES ARIA NEEDS MORE LOVE *3*

[waterguide]

[ It had been an exciting moment in Akari's life when she had walked down to the first floor of ARIA Company to see over a foot of water everywhere. The Acqua Alta was finally here! And as disappointing as it was that she couldn't go out on her gondola to practice, a day off was just what Akari needed to recharge those old batteries of hers!

... at least, that's what she had hoped for. President Aria had dropped his snacks in the water again so now they were on an adventure into Neo-Venetzia to fill that pudgy wudgy belly of his.

Akari enjoyed walking the submerged streets of the city: The sound of the water splashing around her rainboots and just how all the people in the normally busy city were just taking the day in stride. It was the same city, but with a different life seeping into her and she loved every second of it. ]

Are you okay back there, President Aria?

Pu pai pa!

[ From his seat in the tiny black Gondola, the white Martian cat, sporting a small pirate outfit and an adorable black pirate hat, waves a small paw in excitement as he's tugged behind the Single Undine in his dry little boat. ]

(OOC: Now, my question is, would you rather Akari be able to see Jack (since she's a supernatural experience magnet) or just have only President Aria see him?)

[shearedlocks]

[It was raining hard. Hard. Carlos had never seen rain quite like this. His first thought was to use his bag for cover, despite being full of important research papers - he lifted it over his head, trying to run for cover more permanent as the rain pelted down on whatever was exposed - fingers, elbows, shoulders, legs. It actually fell so hard that it hurt.

Getting all the way back to his lab was out of the question for now. He moved instead towards the nearest shape of buildings - it looked like there was already somebody taking cover there under the eaves of the Ralph's, just beside the non-working vending machine. As Carlos approached, he realized it was Cecil.

Once safely under cover, he pulled his bag down, examining it - and his fingers - for damage. Uhg. Giving a wary glance towards the sky, he turned his gaze towards Cecil, trying for a smile that came out a little too nervous.]

Hey. Er... I guess this doesn't happen too often, right? I mean, this kind of weather system is a little abnormal for the desert. [Not that that means anything in this town.]

casually stretching canon a little bit to make this work

[databaser]

[Rebecca had work to do on the system, apparently, and who knew what Lucy was up to, so they'd been sent out into Monteriggioni to find food for the team. Shaun wasn't so sure it was going to be a fruitful venture - the one time he and Rebecca had gone, they'd had to go into the next town over because the cafe had been closed.

Sure enough, the moment they stepped out of the sanctuary, Shaun noticed raindrops coloring the ground here and there. Moments later, he felt them on his arms and the back of his neck, and by the time they were moving away from the manor, the rain was pouring down full-on.]

Of course. Desmond, you know this place better than I would - tell me there's an overhang or an awning or something nearby. [Shelter would be better, but it looked like they were surrounded by people's homes, and it was already late at night. During the day, Desmond wasn't allowed to leave their sanctuary at all.]

HELLO STRANGER

[fragileprophet]

It's a bit unfortunate.

[Although Ion's agreeing, and really, he is feeling a bit sorry that Luke had to get wet from the rain because of his desire to stretch his legs, the smile never once leaves his face.]

But at least this way no one can really fault us for staying out longer. We have more time to ourselves!

[Any opportunity to send more time with his friend was one well welcomed by the Fon Master.]

[ She almost says something like my therapist encourages me to do new things and take myself by surprise, but it seems like a bad first impression to make. Not only because it implies that she needs a therapist, but also because it implies that she's not in her element around strangers, and Judith's not sure anyone likes feeling like a guinea pig.

She laughs, though, quietly and under her breath. Politeness for polite's sake, but it's at least an effort. ]

A little under a month? You know— fresh start? Just me and a cat I named Bert.

COME HERE OFTEN

[lightfabre]

[Luke would never be annoyed or frustrated with Ion. Not over something like being able to forget about all the bad things in the world, anyway. Something like this allows him to collect his thoughts; and, more importantly, forget about the fact that they hold the fate of the world in their hands. No, he is not looking to completely forget it-just forget it long enough to momentarily release the weight from his shoulders.

He laughs at Ion's words.]

Right!

[He then lets out a sigh, reaching his own hand out into the rain. Why not see what was so fascinating to the Fon Master? He sports a calm smile as he allows the rain drops to rapidly fall onto his own gloved hand. Huh. It is actually kind of... nice. Pulling his hand away, he looks back to Ion with a slight curious expression.]

Say, Ion... How do you manage to stay calm like this, all the time?

idk what i'm doing i just miss you ok ;;

[boings]

[ in a matter of minutes, it starts pissing down rain. she should've been paying more attention to the sky before she'd left for school that morning, because by the time she'd realized her folly, it was too late. now, she runs through the streets with only her bookbag held over her head to shield her from the downpour, puddles splashing up against her legs with every hurried step she takes. of course she'd had to take the long way home today of all days...!

the streets themselves are nearly empty, as it seems most everyone else has decided this type of weather isn't worth the risk to brave. she does find one other soul, though, just a little ahead of her on this block, looking as if he were about to turn into a house...

she grits her teeth slightly at the thought of having to stoop so low for cover... but with the thunder and lightening currently building up overhead... she's gotta do what she's gotta do, right? ]

A-ah!

[ at this time, taigong will feel a light bump to his side as ami suddenly stumbles against him. with the bustle, her bag slips from her hands, falling into a nearby puddle. inwardly, she cringes, but she'd left her important notes in her locker for just this occasion, should it happen.

she gasps and makes a low, pitiful sound in the back of her throat, looking miserably at the bag. she, too, looks pretty miserable, soaked to the bone. her house isn't for miles. and his is right here, it seems.

she looks up at him imploringly. ]

I-I'm so sorry, I couldn't see anything, I ah— ahchoo!

[ she fakes a sneeze that wracks her entire body, which suddenly erupts into tiny shivers against a particularly cold gust of wind. ]

5. 1. 2.

[argentorum]

[ ooc: You cool with Rule!63 characters? I always wanna check because sometimes people are like "hard pass". ]

[provingequal]

[The rain doesn't answer, that probably proves that Thor is not behind the weather after all. Though Loki will be willfully insistent that he is, even if the argument holds sway only in his own mind.]

As loath as I am to suggest this, perhaps it is time we attempt to find your SHIELD allies.

[castlogical]

It could not be said that Spock continued to repeat the same mistakes. Having acknowledged Uhura's need for time together, the Commander did the only logical thing and assigned the Lieutenant to her away team.

"With a three point zero four margin for error, I believe we are on the correct course." Though the change in weather had slowed them down quite effectively. Spock did not indulged in any form of irritation for the shift of plans, their mission was one of collecting information, and as such, no pressing timeline to meet.

"Are you able to continue walking, or shall we seek shelter?"

Spock had no feelings about the weather, of course, that said; she certainly was not used to this kind of precipitation and had one of the more flippant officers been present, she is sure that her likeness would be compared to a drenched rodent.
