Looks like the weather forecast was right; it's absolutely pouring! And most people are complaining about the sudden downpour.

But forget those negative nellies! Just post a comment with your series name and character name as usual, as well as any other notes you wish to add, then pick a prompt using the RNG and get started!

1. OMG RAIN!!!

Rain is just the BEST THING EVER, RIGHT?! Well, that's what you think and you're determined to have a good time. Either going for a walk or splashing through puddles or even just sitting around and getting wet, you're going to milk every second of this rain and drag your friends along for the ride.

2. FUCK YOU, RAIN.

Oh god, it's raining. This just completely ruins your day. Maybe you were planning to go shopping but the roads are still flooded up, or because the school closed thanks to the storm, you need to hire a last minute babysitter for your kids. Whatever the reason for it, you're not pleased about this rain and you don't care what anyone else thinks.

3. RAIN SIEGE

Oh lord, it looks like you're stuck inside. It's raining too hard for you to even think of leaving! Will you make a daring escape in a ridiculous raincoat or will you just give up and watch TV? But what if you run out of snacks? Or the TV reception dies?!

4. A WALK IN THE RAIN

Nothing like the sound of rain beating against your umbrella, right? You don't really care either way about the chaos and even though it's chilly, the one thing you want to do today is head out for a walk in the rain and maybe grab a hot chocolate on the way back.

5. WILDCARD

Either combine any one of the above prompts or come up with your own scenario!

[Tiger lands heavily on the deck. Their combined weight sends cracks splintering through the wood. The Hero staggers as the 100 Power runs out, but manages to unload his passenger without too much bumping. He steadies Alastor, not sure if the demon's breathing well enough to stand alone.]

Hey - You okay?

*He's out of breath and shaken, so he isn't going to try to insist he can stand on his own just yet. He's proud, not dumb.*

Yeah. You came to check on me?

Well - yeah! What do you think, I'm just going to leave someone to choke to death?!

[He keeps an arm under Alastor's, letting the demon catch his breath. He's still rasping pretty badly. The cameras are circling Bunny, as usual, so they've got some space.]

*His tail is even limp on the floor, a sure sign that he's in bad shape. He always has it lifted when he can.*

Didn't think you'd...wait for me. Guess I owe you one.

Owe - Geeze, it's not about owing!

[Well, it's Alastor. That's probably the closest to a "Thank you" Tiger's going to get.]

Burning's the worst way to go. I wouldn't wish it on anyone.

[Unpleasant memories rise up -

greenblue flames whirling the man black in seconds the screaming god the smell

- But he's interrupted when a medical crew comes to check on the pair. Tiger takes a couple of bottles of water, then waves them off. He figures Alastor doesn't want the attention.]

Need to sit down?

I don't like taking favors without paying back.

*Yeah, this is the closest you're getting to an admission of gratitude. He's kind of embarrassed that he even needed the help with something so simple.*

I'll be fine, I'm just out of breath. The pain's already fading.

*Hooray for regenerative abilities and supernatural resistance to heat and fire.*

[Fine, Alastor can have it this way. Tiger hands him some water anyway.]

So now a demon owes me a favor...

*The water he'll take and guzzle. Demons need liquid too.*

Don't get too cocky, this doesn't mean I'll do anything you ask for.

*Oh look, he's recovered enough to lift his tail off the ground. And he's using it to smack you lightly on the side.*

[Automatically Kotetsu bats it away, then drains his own bottle.]

Well, I think you're life's worth at least a drink!

I guess my wallet can take that hit. No promises that I'll keep your drunken antics off the internet, though.

[Disbelieving snort from the Hero. He smirks.]

Yeah, just try and keep up, Sparky!

[They're pulling into the docks, HeroTV cameras already rolling.]

Man, interviews though... sometimes I wish I could just play hooky.

One of the perks of being an anti-hero, I get to duck out on those.

*Yeah, it's no coincidence that his heroic acts are always of the save and run variety. He likes the spotlight, but interviews just sound awkward.*

But I'm guessing you'd get in trouble if you just vanished, huh?

[The interviews aren't SO bad, but Tiger's usually end in being reminded how much property damage he's caused. Not the best way to end an evening. At least he got points!

He's about to enter the Apollon trailer, then pauses and side-eyes Alastor.]

No more trouble then usual...

Well...it uses more power than I usually care to expend at once in the middle of a emergency, but I am capable of holding a portal. Then again, we don't want people to think you're letting the devil be a bad influence, do we?

*His tail is flicking in that way it always does when he's amused...*

[Kotetsu's getting his own mischievous grin. Photoshoot cancelled, Alastor's buying drinks, AND skipping the interview? It feels bizarrely like playing hooky.]

Hold on a second.

[He darts into the trailer, and emerges in no time flat, sans armor. The bandit mask stays, though.]

It would be really irresponsible for a Hero to just let a shady character like you run off! You might be UP to something, right?

Oh, of course. After all, with the way I tend to disappear as soon as the action's over, nobody knows just what I do when I'm not on screen...

[Of course, that could be said for a LOT of the Heroes - secret identities and all - but Kotetsu's going to go with it!]

Exactly! It's, what d'you call it, "gathering intelligence" - DON'T say 'that's a first,' Bunny already used that one!

[Sorry if Barnaby stole the punchline!]

*Anti-heroes are more suspect. Or something.*

Actually, I was going to say you could use all the extra intelligence you could get.

*Don't doubt Alastor's ability to come up with new and creative insults.*

[Suuuuuuuuure, we'll go with that.]

Whatever smart-ass. Hurry up before my Producer decides we should both get featured!

[You can bet Agnes wants more shots. She's the one who sent Alastor in, after all, even if Kotetsu's got no idea!]

*He's all for working the camera, but he'll pass on the interviews, thanks. Especially since he knows he'll probably end up getting flustered and embarrassing himself.*

One express trip downtown, coming up.

*And he gestures toward what at first seems to be nothing, until the air darkens and ripples around his fingertips...just like it does when he appears out of nowhere.*

[It's a strange sensation. Kotetsu watches with interest. Alastor's always been too far away/ been too annoying for him to actually pay attention to out how this works.]

Do we just walk through or...

Yup. You first, the spell ends when I pass through it entirely. Just watch your step, it can be a bit disorienting the first time.

[And Tiger must trust Alastor on some level, because he shrugs and steps forward.]

What do you mean dis-WHOAH!

*And the world abruptly shifts. It's like walking through a door without a door, the ferry vanishing and instantly replaced by the streets and buildings of downtown. Alastor follows a moment after.*

Told you.

*And if Tiger looks over, he'll see that Alastor's wings, tail and armor have vanished. He now looks more or less like an elf with faintly purple skin, wearing a black suit that looks oddly like something a priest would wear, save for the winged skulls embroidered on the ends of the stole around his neck. His sword has appeared, but it's slung over his back, sticking there as if by magic...which is probably exactly accurate. Evidently, his eyes are black.*

[Tiger raises an eyebrow, smiling. This seems to be Alastor's version of 'casual,' and hey - no helmet. Seems like some kind of step forward.

Wait, why would he even want to make a step forward with this guy?! Feh.]

So where to?

[He knows this area pretty well, but if Alastor's got a preference...]

Sorry late, work again

I kind of got eaten by a 4th wall event that just started, anyway.

And Kotetsu claims he dislikes Alastor.

He's growing on him. Like a fungus. :P

He'll do that. It's kind of hard to not like Alastor unless you're uptight...or his boss.

Yes, I know all of my icons disagree on his eye color. They're black in canon.
