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.

I wouldn't want that! My cuteness is one of my strong points!

[Even if she was aware she was cute, Rin wasn't being entirely serious. Looks were fleeting, and even if they could be used to her advantage it wouldn't be smart to depend on them. Now that she was looking at him, though...]

Would you really be out of work? Someone who can stay inside has to be pretty high up, right? I bet you're an officer.

[Oh, dear. If he was, she probably shouldn't be so informal, should she?]

[thirdbeauty]

Yeah. If you can make it yourself, she can have any kind of costume you want.

[She can't help but link it to her own situation in her mind, in a weird way. She wishes she could get away with wearing men's clothes, but even if they fit, it'd still be obvious that a woman is wearing them. Like a dragon costume won't make the girl's doll a dragon doll...]

[seethrul]

[.....?

Yunoha doesn't really understand what's so neat about that (she'd only learned how to do this because she hadn't had any friends forever at one point in her life) but...]

Well...it's not too hard to learn.

[castlogical]

It should be obvious to anyone, especially a keen minded Vulcan, that Kirk wished to have no part in Spock's presence here. She continued to step away even as Spock attempted to close the distance. Spock halted in her attempts.

"Indeed. I will continue to prosper, as it is my dearest wish that you do so as well."

[boings]

It.. can be? [ she eyes him a little uneasily, because as far as she can tell, that is a lived-in apartment. maybe it's emptier than it looks from the outside? unless he means the residents are out and he plans on breaking in?!

that gets ami dropping the sweet girl act almost instantly as she recoils back. ]

H-Hang on, just what kind of guy are you?!

[nowin]

She continues to look down at the ground, not able to look at Spock while she asks, "Even after everything that happened... you still feel that way?"

[castlogical]

She could not feign complete emotional disconnect with this woman. Kirk knew her far too well to accept such basic denials of feeling.

"I will always be your friend, Jamie Kirk."

As always she had been.

[nowin]

And that statement, that simple statement, was all it took to make Kirk break completely. She made a pained sound before falling to her knees, a clenched fist over her heart and head bowed as she started sobbing.

It just... wouldn't stop.

[castlogical]

Vulcans were not equipped to handle such things. The level of apparent emotion was unsettling to Spock, yet she could not simply turn and leave while Jamie was in this state.

"Come, Captain. Let us return you to your residence." Gently, Spock gathered the other woman up by her shoulders and guided her towards the apartment.

[nowin]

Jamie was trying so hard to stop the sobbing that she almost sounded like she was choking, pulling herself away from Spock's grip and into a wall. She let herself slide down it and to the floor.

"Don't touch me. Please. I'll die if you touch me."

Oh god. She was pretty far gone if she's pulling lines from books. She covered her face in her hands. Her voice was muffled but no less devastated, "I'm sorry, Spock. I'm so sorry."

[bigdaddydragon]

[Predaking wasn't expecting what came next and he starts slightly, lifting his head to look at the other for a long moment. He's a bit..surprised, but, at the same time, pleased in a way and his wings shift, lifting a bit higher to give Cyclonus the option to come under.]

There is always room, my friend.

[castlogical]

Spock carefully folded her hands behind her back.

"Apologies are unnecessary."

There was no logical course of action that she could see to assisting to ease this moment. Yet, she did not simply leave. Not unless it was requested.

"I am certain that you acted with the best of intentions."

[nowin]

Jamie shook her head, face still in her hands. But she spoke loud enough to be heard, "No. I didn't--I didn't want you to leave."

No, no, no. Why was she opening her big mouth? Why couldn't she just leave it alone?

[grimolddog]

He was, admittedly, a little embarrassed to have reacted in such a way around Remus of all people. He ignored the friendly gestures afterward, preferring to pretend he hadn't reacted at all.

Sirius offered a small shrug at the assessment of his canine form. He knew the myths behind black dogs just as well as anyone else... which had encouraged his adoption of the name "Padfoot" in the first place. As a teenager, he'd been fond of the intimidating quality of his Animagus form. As an adult, it clearly had its drawbacks. Sirius had teased Peter about his own unimpressive form, the rat, but later realized the benefits of being able to transform into such a small, unobtrusive creature.

He sighed sadly when Remus compared Harry to James, but nodded along with the assessment. Looked like James, behaved like James... it made him miss his old best friend more than ever. How proud he would have been of his son.

"We need to keep him safe. I will never stop cursing Snape for what he did... I would feel much better knowing you were there to watch over Harry."

There was another rumble of thunder in the distance, and Sirius felt a chill rack his body as the cold rain continued to soak him through. "Perhaps it's time to return to shelter."

[inhersights]

[ Riza's happy to have Winry accept. She certainly can do with non-military company for the time being and with the young lady's spirit rubbing off on her. ]

I don't mind at all -- you're staying with Edward and Alphonse, correct?

[ Once standing... well, their height differences aren't all that significant, but being the older person, Riza motions in quiet permission to hold Winry's umbrella for her. ]

Please allow me.

[castlogical]

Spock stiffens visibly.

"I do not understand." Why would Kirk have dismissed her? If she had not wanted Spock gone from the ship? There is no logic, there is no emotional reasoning to substantiate that decision.

[withaz]

[Yeah obviously she's not letting the orange juice thing go because who do you think bought the new cartons of juice, Chuck, or did you just think the juice fairy showed up along with the magic food elves?

They have a lot to talk about still.]

Come on. You can call someone to fix your car from inside my apartment.

[mackerels]

Yeah.

[ he wouldn't mind swimming in the rain, to be honest, but even he knows that getting into a pool in the rain is just inviting a cold. after he replies, he's quiet for a while longer, staring at the ground as they walk. there's a particularly large puddle in their way, but haru doesn't change his route at all, either ignoring it or not noticing it. ]

[dorka]

((Makoto laughs a bit, not really believing that Haru was 'agreeing' with him, necessarily. Still, that doesn't matter. Makoto had to think about the whole team.))

Though, maybe Gou-chan can swing another shared practice with Samezuka's team if it stays like this. We may be competing, but she certainly seems good at asking things of them either way. And Rei can actually practice with us now.

[triskeles]

[ The fact he can relax even the slightest bit is amazing, given everything that's ever happened to him. In the past year, the past two, the past ten. Derek would marvel at it, were it not for the fact that he feels almost boneless where he's seated, fingers curling against his neck and over his heart. It's a solid pressure, finding purchase and claiming almost at the same time. Because he can't let go of this, not when he's trying to keep his head above water in something that he hasn't honestly felt in a long, long time. But...

He's been told to let Stiles hold his heart close before it gets too heavy. Maybe he really can trust him to do it.

After a minute, he pulls back the barest amount from the kiss, lips still brushing across the full bow of Stiles' as he sits there, practically breathing in the moment. Like he's committing it to memory. (A part of him is.) ]

[jivitadana]

[Hi there! Did you want me to roll and start? I randomly got the park and newspaper. XD Or you can start? ^-^]

i lost my shit at poor pussy btw

[bootcut]

[ Warmth is important, so he settles down a little. Tug, tug, tug. Until Armin goes and ruins everything. What a dip. Like a dip in a pool, get it? Because they're both wetter than ever now. What would his mother say if she saw these stains on his pants? Probably lock your damn door for once but after that!! She'd bitch about how white doesn't hide the dirt. Which is true. Because look at these stubborn stains.

Not very arlert, Armin. Not every arlert at all. But -- ugh -- Jean isn't even in the mood to laugh at his own awesome joke because his shitty boots are soaked through. Gross. He's squelching when he walks, even when he shifts his weight. This is unpleasant. This whole day is unpleasant. Why couldn't this happen to someone Eren?

Else. Someone else.

He makes a face of extreme distaste, like he's been splashed with red hot lava or, I guess, Titan blood instead of murky puddle water. He looks down at Armin. Why this? ]

Don't blame this -- [ Dramatic point down. ] -- on my pulling.

[hypercompetent]

[ He holds still as stone as Derek pulls away from him, and the curiosity is practically killing him--you can see it in his face, feel it in the fact that he's actually not moving for once in his life, that Stiles wants to know, and wants to know badly. Wants to know what's wrong with him. Wants to know why he just did that, what brought that on, if he could keep doing it.

For just a second, brown eyes flicker open and he looks up towards Derek, trying to get a read on what he's feeling, before he shuts them again and pushes forward just a little more, to press their lips together again, to show that he was right there with him, that he felt it too. That he'd been there the whole time.

Stiles doesn't do things in halves. When he started falling for Derek it wasn't like with Lydia, where he'd tripped and woken up and said, "I love this girl.", it was a slow burn of friendship to something more, to curling up with his phone late at night because of the time difference and falling asleep with it pressed to his chest, to an I missed you that had been more sincere than a joke. ]

[sonicwind]

[Hi there! How shall we roll? Did you want to start or shall I?]

Melancholy seems to be Duke, doesn't it-

[radiantwingedone]

[ The umbrella rising up in his peripheral vision is what has Duke noticing the girl first - he honestly hadn't been paying terribly much attention to...

... Well, anything. He doesn't duck under the edge of the umbrella, but he doesn't lean out from under it either. Just... stays standing there, probably half sheltered. ]

... Do I look lost?

[ He isn't, he's fairly sure, but if he looks so-

It completely avoids him that he might look lost because he's standing in the rain with no cover. ]
