i'm singin' in the rain

[memetical]

the rain meme

Ah, rain—the precipitation that the whole world has a love/hate affair with. It waters the garden for free and ruins baseball games. It cools you off in the summer and it causes more ice and sleet to appear in the winter. Sometimes it is lovely and falls at a decent pace for a few hours, other times, it blasts the whole eastern seaboard away.

Poems and songs have been written about it, people have danced in it, others have cursed its entire existence, and still more refuse to go out and drive in it.

Now it’s time to roll some dice and see what the weather will have in store for you today.

directions

1. Comment with your character, series, preferences, etc in the subject.
2. Roll a number between 1-5 with the RGN for an intensity.
3. Roll 1-15 with the RGN for a situation.
4. Reply to other comments and play the scenario out!
5. Don’t catch a cold!


intensity

1. DRIZZLE ☂ It’s not too heavy or too light of a downpour, just enough to wash away stuff in the air, water the ground, and clean up the streets.

2. MONSOON ☂ It’s horrible and awful! Rain is coming down in buckets, no one can get anywhere, the wind is whipping everything about, and now the cable is out.

3. SHOWER ☂ Reminds you of early spring, doesn’t it? A nice shower to make everything all green and smell fresh again. Lovely.

4. FLOOD ☂ While rain is good, it can sometimes be bad. Grab a boat!

5. CATS & DOGS ☂ You’re lucky with this one. It’s not the worst storm in the world, but it’s still pretty heavy. Be careful when driving!


prompts

1. A DARK, STORMY NIGHT ☂ You know all those stories that start off with a stormy night before something goes wrong: a murder, an attack by ninjas, a crime. It is one of the best known clichés in the world, and you’re stuck in the middle of it.

2. HUMIDITY ☂ It’s that time of the year again when the humidity rises and the rain has two options: make it worse or make it go away. Good luck getting the latter.

3. GRAY RAIN OF DEPRESSION ☂ We all know this one. Stuck in the middle of no where, or right after an argument, or something that leads to angst, the rain decides to express someone’s feelings in a physical form, serious or over the top.

4. QUIET MORNING ☂ Nothing to do, nowhere to be… sometimes the rain is a welcomed addition to a quiet day. Gives you an excuse to stay in, curl up in a warm blanket and a book, maybe a loved one or a cup of hot chocolate. With sprinkles.

5. PUDDLES ☂ After it rains, what is the number one thing you have to do? Go put on some rubber boots and splash around of course!

6. SUDDEN STORM ☂ It might have been predicted, but sometimes storms just sweep in and do their thing with little to no warning. Hope you’re not outside.

7. THUNDER & LIGHTNING ☂ Loud, surprising, scary, ominous, comforting, fantastic to watch or listen to… some like thunder and lightning, others not so much. Of course, if this happens before a big confrontation, the universe is telling you something.

8. CAN’T GET WORSE ☂ You did not say that. You did not just say that. How many times does this need to be seen in movies and books before anyone learns?

9. STUCK ☂ No, no, no, no. This cannot be happening. What happened to the ten percent chance of rain? You forgot your umbrella and now you’re stuck in it!

10. RUINED PLANS ☂ You had all these wonderful plans to go outside, have some fun in the sunshine, do some errands, maybe a date… and the weather goes against them.

11. DANCING ☂ Sometimes rain is a cause for celebration, or you just feel like doing something spontaneous. Grab someone to join you and get wet!

12. RAIN BATTLE ☂ The most intense, important battles happen in the rain. Verbal spars, punching someone in the guts; it’s all dramatic and climatic. And no one slips.

13. DATE ☂ Aww, don’t let the weather ruin your date! It can be really romantic, being out in the rain, and it’s always fun to go with the flow.

14. A DAY INSIDE ☂ Sometimes, it’s just better to stay inside and enjoy something simple and easy like board games or catching up on TV shows, or maybe the bills.

15. WILD CARD ☂ Was there something I missed? Did you want to roll again or choose your own adventure? Go for it!

[She nods.] Mm...

[beingthecreature]

[He scoots up a little better, leaning back on his hands and looking up with a smile, the towel still draped over his head and hanging down his back.]

[strengthinkindness]

[She glances at him with a smile, though blushes a bit when she notices how his wet T-shirt seems to cling to him.

Blushing a little, she shrugs out of his pullover.] H-Here...y-you probably...want this back.

[beingthecreature]

[He looked at the jacket, then laughed a little and smiled, sitting back up to take it. Between being somewhere out of the rain, the warm towel, and sitting next to Fluttershy, he hadn't even really been missing it.]

Hah, thanks.

[strengthinkindness]

[She smiled, wrapping the towel around her in replacement for the pullover.]

You're welcome...Thanks for letting me use it...

[beingthecreature]

Ahh, no problem. Hopefully it helped some.

[The towel was pulled off, leaving his hair a bristled, damp mess, and he pulled the jacket back on and zipped it up.]

[strengthinkindness]

[She nodded.] Mm...it helped a lot...

[Though now she was starting to feel a little cold.]

[beingthecreature]

[He glanced at her, then smiled and took her hand while backing off the pad.]

Hey, come here for a sec.

[strengthinkindness]

[She blinks, scooting off the platform to follow him.]

What is it...?

[beingthecreature]

You look a little cold still. [He smiled, taking out his creature pod with one hand and docking it, using his thumb to switch on a particular mode. He'd been struck with the idea and decided to act on it, spur of the moment.

The device flickered on, starting to play soft music through the speakers. Smiling still, he gently grasped her wrists, drawing her closer.]

I thought I might warm you up.

[strengthinkindness]

[She blushed, though her eyes seemed to brighten as she leaned into him, her hands gently resting on his torso as they began to sway to the music.]

[beingthecreature]

[He smiled gently, one arm wrapping around her shoulders and the other around her waist. Just slowly moving on the spot felt good, and not just because of the warmth.]

[strengthinkindness]

[She shivered a little, though it wasn't because of the cold this time. As they continued to move along to the music, she rested her head on his shoulder, closing her eyes and listening to the music.]

[beingthecreature]

[He rested his head against hers and sighed contentedly, holding her snugly to him.]

[strengthinkindness]

[She smiled, sighing softly.]

Mm...This does feel nice...

[beingthecreature]

[He chuckled lightly.]

There, see? I knew it would.

[strengthinkindness]

[She giggled softly, glancing up at him.] I never pictured you as a dancer, though...

[beingthecreature]

Hey, I can dance. But I'd hardly call this dancing. [He chuckled, giving her a light, playful smile.] More like rhythmic swaying.

[strengthinkindness]

[She giggled.] I'd like to see it sometime...You dancing, I mean...

[beingthecreature]

Well, I'll have to remember to show you sometime.

[strengthinkindness]

Sounds like a date...

[beingthecreature]

Good. [He smiled, his arms resting easily around her.]

[strengthinkindness]

[She returned the smile, leaning a little more into him as they continued to sway.]

Well it wasn't quite the day we planned, but...I'd say it still turned out pretty well...

[beingthecreature]

[He smiled and closed his eyes, nuzzling into her again.]

Yeah... I'd have to agree.
