CAUGHT IN THE RAIN MEME

It started out quietly, and then, quite suddenly, you're caught in a storm with an endless downpour. Time to quickly find cover! Nothing much to do but to wait it out. Where is the rain happening? How are you coping? Why are you out when it hits? RULES • Leave a comment with your character's name and fandom. • RNG for a number between 1-10 to get your scenario. Mix and match! • Have fun!

SCENARIOS 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 BEACH | Not exactly the best place to be during a rainstorm, however it is possible to get caught in a sudden storm. 005 FOREST | Mud, bugs and all the rambler's paths are washed away so you don't know how to get out. 006 SKY | On a plane? A pegasus? You were there when the first drop fell. 007 EMPTY CITY | Maybe it was a zombie apocalypse or WW3. It's safer outside when all the nasties take refuge indoors. 008 AT SEA | Nothing is worse than an unexpected freak storm here. Except sea monsters. 009 TEMPLE | It's beautiful, but leaky. 010 WILD CARD | Your call. 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 SHIRT | Well... y'gotta do what you gotta do. 005 MAGIC | Wave that wand or chant a spell. 006 CARDBOARD | Out of a dumpster. Nice. 007 LEAVES | Not under a tree: just one really huge leaf. 008 CAVE | Not very deep, but it keeps off the worst. 009 NONE | You don't need cover, screw convention. 010 WILD CARD | Your call. 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 ACCEPTANCE | You had to be here anyway, it wasn't a choice. 007 SCIENCE | Everyone else is inside but you've got work to do. 008 ACCIDENTAL | Lost track of time? Forgot your coat? Oops. Now you look like a wet rat. 009 KISSING | They kissed you. How are you supposed to leave them alone out here after that? 010 WILD CARD | Your call.

Trust is a very heavy word. And not one I throw around lightly. [ But that is what he is going to say about that and leaves the matter for another time. ]

Seemed like the most logical thing. Problem is you'd be left with a wet mattress and then where would you be? Absolutely miserable when you yourself went to bed! And, not really a wizard. I haven't got a wand like Harry Potter. Which, if you have not read them? You really should. [ The Doctor wags his finger at her with a smile. Then he is spinning on his heels and picking the girl up again to go straight to the bathroom-- ]

Oi! No pushing. It's rude! [ Even though he pushes. ]

Yes, well, that is how I look. [ The Doctor is far stronger than he looks and that isn't something he really says lightly. ] Ah, I'll be fine! It takes more than a rain cloud to get me sick.

[And then the feeling to apologize for her assumption and freely using the word "trust" will be as great as she felt her need to fall back on her more formal aspects of her personality. Maybe she accidentally crossed a line? The concern will leave her silent for most of their conversation. Harry Potter was a old piece of literature and she was certain her master read it once before. All she can offer in reply was:]

I'll ask my master over her thoughts on the story. If she hasn't read it, then I'll recommend it. [And as for the bed.] There is no need to feel any concern over such matters. A wet bed doesn't sound too miserable as you make it out to be. It sounds like a creative way to lower the cost on the electric bill on a humid summer evening.

[And she'll simply ignore his lecturing as she found no interest in it. He wasn't hitting her or anything. No need to pay any attention to it, she'll consider it an older gentle acting fussy. That's why she'll offer a smile and slight bow of her head once he made a decision over the matter of clothing and drinks to help keep warm was rejected.]

As you wish. I'll find the notes, then. Whenever you are ready to begin our research, then you can find all you'll need over at the living room. [And without another word, she'll leave the room and begin to do everything she can to prepare for a long evening of researching and thinking and simply hitting dead ends. Even so, Souko was organizing the piles of papers and notes in their proper placement on the coffee table in the living room while another copy of herself was preparing the proper medicine for the young girl while another copy was taking care of the security system, and her final double was making the necessary phone call to another investigator that could help them.]
