☂ it's raining, it's falling

[estivates]

caught in the rain

It started out quietly, and then, quite suddenly, you're caught in a storm. Time to find cover. Nothing much to do but to wait it out.

Scenarios listed below for those who want 'em.

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 THE BEACH - Not exactly the best place to be during a rainstorm, however it is possible to get caught in a sudden storm
005 WILD CARD - Anyway you want it


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 BAG - Well... y'gotta do what you gotta do.
005 NONE - You know what. You're a rebel. You don't need cover. Screw convention
006 WILD CARD - that's the way you need it


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 WILD CARD - Anyway you want it.

It's up to you. All I can do is tell you what I see and what I think based on what I've seen.

[superstylishsquid]

Yeah. Not really sure how to go about it, though. Especially since, well...I kind of like working at Devil May Cry. Don't wanna make it sound like I don't plan on staying on, you know?

[patricided]

Just remind him you aren't Trish.

[superstylishsquid]

Oh yeah, she did take off for a while, didn't she? But that was kind of a different situation from asking someone for your freedom without also telling them you quit.

[patricided]

You can practice with me if you want.

[superstylishsquid]

As in...tell you what I'm thinking of saying, and you'll let me know if it gets the right message across?

[patricided]

Yes. What were you thinking?

[superstylishsquid]

Well, uh...

*Just a moment. His eloquence goes out the window when he's nervous.*

Maybe, um, asking him if we can be partners instead of master and servant? Then again, given him, there's ways he could interpret that other than what I actually mean. Not that I was thinking along those lines, no way I'd look at someone as thick skulled as him like that! But, you know, he has that habit of making an innuendo out of everything, so...

*Okay, he's just going to shut up now.*

[patricided]

[Don't mind the Cheshire Cat grin she's giving you Alastor, keep talking. She totally buys that line about not thinking about Dante like that yep.]

That's when you steal his pizza and threaten to call his pizza store to have them stop delivering until he pays off his tab.

[superstylishsquid]

Quit it with that look!

*His ears are not turning violet, shut up.*

[patricided]

What look?

[superstylishsquid]

That smug grin plastered on your face.

[patricided]

What smug grin?

[superstylishsquid]

Do I need to give you a mirror?

[patricided]

Not sure it would help your cause any.

[superstylishsquid]

Oh? You're still making the face.

[patricided]

Then make me stop.

[superstylishsquid]

Alright then...

*Better duck if you don't want to end up with a fish face, Lady.*

[patricided]

[And duck she does, slouching down in her spot to escape, laughing the entire while.]

What was that?

[superstylishsquid]

Trying to make you stop grinning. Now get back here.

*Trying with the other hand!*

[patricided]

I'm good where I am.

[She scrambles a little, slipping off the cushion entirely to get away.]

[superstylishsquid]

Hey, no fair!

*Except he sounds like he's almost laughing, himself. Well, only one thing to do with this. He has the high ground, so he'll just push himself off the couch to try to drop down and pin her.*

[patricided]

[Before she can respond or even process what he's doing really, her shoulders meet the floor. Her head landing with a bit of a thunk. Eyes wide as she stares up at him, her cheeks bright pink. And so very still.]

Uh...

[superstylishsquid]

*He, in contrast, blinks a couple times before his cheeks turn violet. There's a moment while his brain remembers how to move, and then he's scrambling back and up and, well, anywhere but right over top of her.*

Uh, s-sorry.

[patricided]

[She stays put for a moment to kind of process that. When she sits up she wraps her arms around her knees.]

I'd say it's fine if I had any idea if it actually was or not.
