rain, rain, go away



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 hasn't really changed — sure, she's taller and asthma is no longer an issue, but she's still the same person she was before. captain america is an invention of the propaganda machine; steph rogers is just a not-so-scrawny anymore kid from brooklyn. )

I've got a deck of cards stowed away somewhere.

( if it was just here — she'd probably sketch, or use the time to think because she might not have changed much except for the physical, but her circumstances have changed considerably. but it's not just her, and she wouldn't want it to be. )

[It's still an adjustment. When you've kind of let most of your life be defined by your relationship with one person - even if Bucky's still a little tired of people acting like they're together, because as he'd pointed out to Falsworth, it's not like they were asking him if he was dating his sister - having the tables get turned like this is... weird. He's not pissed off at her, doesn't resent the uniform (most of the time), but it's strange to know that he'd spent most of his life being her attack dog and shoulder to lean on, and now he's the one who needs a knight in shining armor.]

I guess you've had worse ideas. [The easy grin he passes her way feels just like back home, though, so that's something.

He sticks a pot under the leak and comes over to sit down across from Steph.]


We're gonna have to play for M&M's, Dum Dum got his hands on most of the rest of my rations. [Not that either one of them would necessarily have gotten super excited at the prospect for gambling for cigarettes anyway. Steph obviously hadn't been able to smoke, and Bucky hadn't because there's no use trying to help someone through an asthma attack if you reek of smoke, is there?]

( their relationship needn't have changed — sure, she no longer needs his protections, but steph always argued that she didn't need his protection. what has changed is, of course, that she's taller now and much stronger, and that she's here as well.

he's saved her so many times, surely he can't resent her having the opportunity to pay back the favour.
)

I think I've got some M&M's left, yeah.

( she never felt like an outsider, bucky's usually managed to make her feel included and to make it seem like he isn't giving up things for her benefit, but now, for the first time, she really feels part of something bigger.

it's the army, and it's being one of the guys for all that she isn't.
) What are we playing?
