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.

scenarios listed below for those who want 'em.

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.
002 UMBRELLA - most conventional... kinda boring. But it works.
003 NEWSPAPER - not permanent, but it'll have to do. good luck.
004 BAG - well... y'gotta do what you gotta do.
005 NONE - you know what. you're a rebel. you don't need cover. screw convention.
006 WILD CARD - that's the way you need it.

iii. WHY;
001 REJECTED - welp. rejection sucks. and no one will see you crying in the rain.
002 WAITING - for the bus? for someone else? for some revelation? what are you waiting for.
003 MELANCHOLY - sometimes the best place to feel a bit down is out in the rain.
004 HAPPINESS - is everything going your way? are you singing a refrain while walking down the lane? just singin. singin' in the rain.
005 ANGER - WELL YOU KNOW WHAT. SCREW YOU TOO RAIN.
006 WILD CARD - anyway you want it.

[Natsuru's not the most arts-and-crafts-y type. But she recognizes some of the supplies, at least.]

Ohhh... are you making something?

[moonscars]

Sirius' request that Remus go with him wherever his next place might be secretly warmed Remus' heart. A shadow of himself though Sirius was, he wasn't all gone. That signature fierce loyalty of his was still there and Remus was suddenly reminded of how terribly he'd missed Sirius even despite thinking for all these years that Sirius was the reason for James and Lily's demise.

He pressed his lips together at Sirius' mention of watching over him as Padfoot. Sirius wasn't young and as resilient anymore. The likelihood of Sirius being injured while watching over him were much greater, especially given the way Sirius was still recovering from Azkaban. The last time Sirius had tried to do that...

Remus didn't like thinking about that night; the way they'd been so close to putting an end to thirteen years of misery by exacting justice on Peter until Remus transformed. He had no recollection of what happened once he did transform but he'd received a scathing enough recount from Snape. Apparently, he'd very nearly turned on Harry, Ron and Hermione, and had come very close to harming Snape in the process. And apparently, he'd hurt Sirius that night; he hadn't missed the way Sirius was limping the next day.

"While I don't particularly appreciate the way Snape went about it, I don't begrudge him for it," Remus admitted quietly. "It's probably just as well I don't work at Hogwarts anymore. I would never want a repeat of... well, you know. You were there.

"But yes," he said, wanting to change the subject, "of course I'll come along with Harry and yourself. Nothing would delight me more. I daresay that the two of you are the closest thing I have to family."

[seethrul]

Yes, that's right. I'm making something-- for her.

[She tightens her hold on the frog-cat doll she's squeezing, a smile breaking across her face for the first time.]

I found a costume online so I thought I could try making it. Um, it looked really cute.

[hellolisteners]

Yellow! ((He shrugs. Completely commonplace.))

[castlogical]

Spock waited until the other woman's intentions became obvious. A slight, nearly imperceptible frown was followed by the clear voice; "Kirk."

The Vulcan turned heel, and kept a continuous gaze firmly directed on the Captain of the Enterprise. She had forgone all of her considerable pride and waited for this woman. She would be heard.

"I request a moment of your time."

[ Natalia didn't comment on Anise's statement. It would probably be best if she didn't intrude and try to pry on what she had meant by that. But to hear Anise, who for the most part was always cheerful and outgoing, say that wasn't something she would have imagined. But she was just like the rest of them. Have to keep busy or else certain thoughts will flood her mind.

Her mind whirls back as she hears Anise's question. She gave it some thought before coming up with a conclusion. ]

It's been... difficult. And I fear that it will only be more-so in the future. But it is a duty to my people and... to myself that I help finish what has been started no matter where it may lead.

fucking replying from email jacks up html ugh

[perkynipples]

[ oh my god he is going to disown you he is going to disown you do you hear him?

Dean gives him a look of utter despair and shakes his head in resignation, sighing. ]

I don't know how you even just said those words.

[ He blinks through the rain and keeps on going, the shop a tiny little hole in the wall but it's bound to have coffee and everything else. he shoves the door open, holds it for Cas and waits, shaking his head to get some of the water out of his hair. ]

[accede]

That's good.

[Average. Regular.

Carlos takes the remainder of the beaker of water, pouring it into the test tube about halfway, and setting it to be held above the burner. He turns the flame on, and explains as he does so.]

I'm going to boil the water. Since regular water should boil at 212 degrees Fahrenheit, if it does the same, then I think it's safe to say this is completely normal water.

This is pretty boring stuff. Are you sure you don't want to be doing anything else?

[If it sounds like there's implications, Carlos is oblivious to it.]

[hellolisteners]

Oh, noooo, it's fine. ((He turns in the chair a bit, leaning to his right as he answers.)) I mean, where else would I be now but at home doing, ultimately, nothing. ((He shrugs.))

Besides, it's interesting. I certainly didn't learn any of this in school. The only reason I'd ever boil just water is to make it sanitary for drinking... Well, or noodles. ((A sort of laugh.))

[servant]

I would like that too.

[And they must sound like just words to Mordred's ears too. What proof does he have when his actions have always suggested the opposite? Merlin stops just long enough to look him in the eyes.]

But if something happens and we don't, it's my fault.

[Arthur and Albion, that's his destiny and his weight to bear. If Merlin fails, he has no one to blame but himself. He hopes that Mordred can find at least some comfort in that.]

we have met in this meme before 3, 4, 5

[dotacchino]

[You look really stupid standing in the rain with a bag on your head, Shizuo.

You look even stupider now that you're yelling at a raindrop. Seriously, all he can do is watch.]

[dread]

[ Mordred stops a few steps ahead, almost hesitant to turn and look at him, meeting his gaze with his emotions trained again, no small smiles or foreign laughter. He studies Merlin's face, trying to find the conflict between them, trying to understand the rift separating them. ]

Merlin. [ It's on the tip of his tongue to ask, to pry, wanting to understand. They protect each others secrets but there is no affection in it, it's not done out of respect or friendship but because their crime is equal.

He takes a step forward jerkily as if his body has disconnected from his mind, hand nearly reaching out for his shoulder but he realizes it's a mistake midway and steps back, eyebrows knitting together tightly. ] You still don't trust me.

[ Realistically, he hadn’t been running exceptionally late by any normal standards. Especially, for the mundane and commonplace circumstances he presumed the outing was labeled under. If anything, he may have only passed the margin of obtaining Perfect Punctuality by a mere minute or two (maybe, even three if one was feeling particularly pointed on the niceties), but it’s a matter he decisively puts away. Still, he finds no imminent reason to rush, and so he continues onwards, his feet moving at a leisurely, nearly sluggish pace.

Once he reaches the perimeter of the said location, however, he feels the light droplets of water touching his skin. ] …. What a pain in the ass. [ While he never checked the weather report, he didn’t recall Yuzu mentioning anything about rain.

And it’s in this thought that the drops of water appear to amplify. Continuing onwards with more vigor. Naturally, having nothing in his possession, but his bag, he lifts it upwards, shielding the crown of his head. Though, this only left question. ] Where the hell is that idiot? [ His classmate, that is. Eyes narrowing, he attempts to scrutinize the details of the vicinity through the harsh weather. Was he even here? Or not?

But, after about five minutes and desiring to relent, he bumps into someone he wasn’t entirely expecting. ] What are you doing here? [ Keigo pls. ]

[nowin]

Jamie stopped short again, her back to Spock, tempted to just keep walking and not respond at all. It hurt too fucking much.

But Kirk forced herself to turn and face Spock, using the anger she had at herself to force words to come out, sharp, tight, "Why? We have nothing more to discuss, no reason to."

[elfiehopkins]

[When her brain is working overtime usually she would just walk on, not paying too much attention especially when that person was someone who just walked into her but…there was something that made her stop this time. His face is in shadow, his head covered in a hood. At least he has shelter she’s pretty much just out in her usual beanie though she does have a jacket on. He doesn’t say anything to her, just gestures and she raises an eyebrow at that. Strange. Hmm, maybe she’s onto something here…]

Not much of a talker?

[thirdbeauty]

[That's... kind of a strange doll. And it's a 'her'? ... Huh.

But Natsuru's not one to judge, especially not kind and sweet young girls. So she genuinely smiles at the idea.]

I see... I bet it will look really cute on her when it's done.

[A shake of the head.]

{Sorry I ran into you. Excuse me,} [he signs, ducking his head. He can hear and see just fine, speaking is just not part of what he does anymore. He used to talk, and his vocal chords are more (or less) physically intact. He just has no desire to speak, as such an effort fills him with terror. So he's adapted back into signing. The unfortunate thing is most people don't understand what he is trying to say. So if the signals look a bit shaky it is only a sign of a need to be understood.

He tries. He tries to tell them he's fine walking on his own. London is one of the few things he can remember without his head hurting. ]

5, 5, 2.

[mackerels]

[ while someone who pays attention to the weather forecast or has the forethought to carry an umbrella with them might not have much of a problem, haruka is neither. therefore, he's standing under the slight overhang at the school exit next to the changing room, still dripping from his walk between the pool and the lockers.

makoto should come by soon, he figures. it won't hurt to wait. ]

shut up!!

[bootcut]

[ Wet Wet Wet - Hold Back the River skill.

Jean doesn't care much about drying off; it's getting wetter and wetter by the second that's the problem. Logic has no place in a head covered with mushy blobs of paper. He looks at Armin out the corner of his eye, lips curled up into that same old confident smile he wears whenever he says something a normal person wouldn't say without at least a second thought.

Get read, he's about to say something stupid. ]

Take your coat off. If we're both soaked, I won't feel so bad.

when will you upload more icons

[cutcord]

[Quick Fix - Setting skill-naming record skill.

Armin knows that look. It is a look that doesn't haunt but more vaguely annoys, sometimes vaguely discomfits (those are the times Eren is in the room with them). And yep, he said something dumb...]

Jean... That doesn't make any sense.

[He doesn't bother explaining that other people have feelings, and that they'd both get sick and does Jean really want to endure training with a fever? because that seems like it would slide right off the exact way the paper in Jean's hair doesn't.

So he says,] Alright, stop here. [and reaches out to touch Jean's wet arm and actually make him stop in the rain. Then he tugs the coat up a little, like he's going to take it off, but no it stops and hangs over his head like a tent that stopped trying. This is happening.

He's offering one end of it to Jean, and very pointedly holding onto the other one in the event Jean is really, really keen on the "we should both be sopping wet and miserable" idea. From under the pile of coat fabric he has now become:]

If you don't pull too much, we can both fit. [beat] You might have to slouch, but it's warmer than the rain and it's better than both of us getting soaked.

[Just do it and don't call him creepy.]

[dorka]

((Well, it wasn't unexpected at least. Makoto'd only done it when his mother had mentioned it to him early morning, and it wasn't as if an umbrella was hard to carry around! After a few minutes (Makoto had to lock up) he comes out, making a slight jog to Haru. He sighs a moment, looking to the gray sky.))

Ah, it really came down fast, didn't it? ((He pulls his backpack off his shoulders and stoops down.)) I think I brought something...
