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.

[Max loves that smile. It's strangely disarming, in a way. He turns his head and sighs.]

Ah, it'll take longer to get through me than it would with you. Besides, it wouldn't be the worst thing that's happened to me.

[rungout]

But I'd rather not have anything more happen to you, Max.

[Glancing up at the other briefly, there's that adoring look again before Rung looks away--a bit..flustered with himself for the way that must have sounded.]

[3years_2months_10days]

[That kind of surprises Fort Max, and he pauses. The simplicity of the words is astounding, but the meaning behind them...]

...Thanks. Uh, let's go?

[rungout]

[Rung smiles softly--shyly--and nods, starting forward a bit, moving slowly at first to make sure Max is actually going to follow.]

[3years_2months_10days]

[You can bet he is! Although the size difference means that for every step Max takes, he has to wait for Rung to make two more before he can move again.

He doesn't mind, though. Even as goofy as it might look, he's more than happy to play the role of temporary shelter.]

[If anyone is shooting them weird looks, Rung sure isn't paying attention, the therapist far too pleased with his current company to really care about such things.

And it does take them a bit but they finally make it back to the ship, the therapist's internal temperature kicking up some as he tries to cool the chill that had taken over.]

[All things considered, Fortress Maximus handles himself well, and only gets a little uncomfortable by any weird stares.

When they reach the ship, he starts to shake rain off of his plating and asks,]

Everything alright?
