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!

Clark nodded, frowned at the beer in his hand, and put it back into the fridge. Then he held up a hand.

"I'm going to clear my little desk out of the extra room so you can have a room to yourself. It'll fit just fine in the corner here. The couch is actually a futon, so..."

Which was when he walked over to the couch, hefting it up with one hand like it weighed about as much as a newspaper.

"Once that's done, you're welcome to take a shower, make yourself at home."

Then he was toddling off into the first room in the hall to set things up for Jim. There was a soft thump of the frame being placed on the carpet in the room before Clark walked back out, carrying the desk the same way, and brought it to the corner of the living room to deposit it with a satisfied smile.

"Perfect. We'll just have to do with bean bags for the living room for a while."

The space had something familiar about it. The hollowness, the run-down nature of the building. It was like he'd seen somewhere like it before, and for more than a mission. Like he had stayed there. Weeks before, he would have said it was impossible. Now, he had no way to know for sure. But the familiarity still settled something, some bit of unease that he hadn't even known about until it faded away.

"Thank you," he said quietly, making silent note to himself that it was time to think of himself as Jim. Not as 'The Asset', or even 'the Winter Soldier.' James Buchanan Barnes still didn't feel right. So he would be Jim.

Jim Rogers.

He'd put together the rest of his story eventually.

Clark smiles again. He tended towards being a pretty upbeat kind of person.

"I'm going to get my computer out and try to get something typed out so I don't lose my job the same day I started it. Feel free to use my stuff in the bathroom. We can head out in a little bit to get you a few things."

He starts towards the chair he'd carried out with it before pausing, heading back down the hall for a few minutes before reappearing.

"I put a change of clothes in your room. Judging by your size and mine, they should be a little big, but it'll do for the moment, I hope."

Then he's plopping down into the chair and stretching his fingers.

"Now, though, I have to work. Raid the fridge if you need to; I did promise you lunch and unfortunately, it got a little interrupted."

[as this is winding down, I just want to say: this thread has been TONS of fun the last couple of days and I'd love to keep playing with you. This little continuity branch is kinda awesome.]

Jim nodded. He'd said his thanks and he wasn't quite ready just yet to repeat himself. So what he did do, as Clark was busy and he was aware of his need to clean up, was go to first the bedroom and then the bathroom. For the first time in too long, he had the opportunity to clean himself and it was an opportunity he wasn't willing to pass up.

This was the last thing he'd expected when he'd woke up that morning. He'd expected a meal, some time spent on his own, and another night in an alley. Most would think of this as a positive change. He still wasn't sure, but he wasn't dead. That would do.

((I've enjoyed it, too, and I'd be happy to keep RPing in this little crossover-AU-thing!))

[I'm gonna follow you and I'll try to get a post up in Clark's journal and send it your way ASAP.]
