rain, rain, go away

[memety]

the 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?

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.

[If he can't sleep, he doesn't see the point in sitting there trying to do so. He'd rather wear himself out again. Training, reading, whatever was necessary or available at the time.]

Altered? Yeah, OK. [He blinks, letting the words sink in. Though he does look up again, wondering if they'd known more about how Titans and the rain...regret isn't something he can change so it's better to not think about it. He doesn't quite want to go in, yet, but he knows he should. He can't avoid everyone forever.] We'll have to be careful because of the mud.

[He kicks a boot knowing it won't do anything to dislodge the stuff.] What did you have in mind?

[corps]

Precisely.

[ Their new path will hopefully make that less of a problem, but of course they won't know for certain until tomorrow. At least the space within Wall Maria, where they are currently, is well-mapped, and the landmarks familiar, so it's easier than it would be otherwise to chart a new course. ]

I will tell you everything in a moment. We should talk inside.

[ Under a tent, where they have a much better chance of not falling ill. ]

This way. [ Erwin makes to turn, but is careful to keep Levi under his makeshift cover as well. Levi won't need to interact with anyone but him for the remainder of the night; he's already shared the information with Mike and Hange, who will serve to pass it along to others. ]

[Levi thinks for a moment of saying no and not going. Of staying out here and pretending to keep watch, trying not to think of the past. Convince himself there's something to do, and keep his mind at least occupied....or at least, distracted. He's tempted to try and knock some of the grim off, almost reaching out.

He changes his mind and goes to follow Erwin like always.] Yeah, we should.

Get out of this shitty weather. [As important as he understands rain is, he doesn't care much for it.]
