☂ 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.

*He dusts himself off, then reaches for his armor.*

Uh...do you need a hand up?

[patricided]

No, I'll uh be fine on my own. Thanks.

[superstylishsquid]

*Another vague nod as he starts donning the armor. He's evidently practiced at it, since it only takes him a couple minutes to get everything on. And he can't really think of anything to say during that time that won't just embarrass him more, so it's awkward silence time again.*

[patricided]

[She wasn't exactly paying attention as he put his armor back on. She was almost staring into outer space, her body language almost bordering on listless a she sat there. The silence stretching out until the whir of her digital clock seems to get too loud.]

So I'll see you around?

[superstylishsquid]

Yeah. Don't have anything to take me out of town planned, so...uh...you shouldn't have a problem if you want to get in touch.

[patricided]

Okay.

...Do I walk you to the door or are you all set?

[superstylishsquid]

I was gonna just teleport back from here, so unless you, um, want to...

[patricided]

[She shrugs.]

Up to you.

[superstylishsquid]

Well, I don't want to make you feel obligated just because I'm your guest, but I'm not going to complain if you'd like to see me out...

[patricided]

[She nods and gets to her feet.]

So shall we?

[superstylishsquid]

*That gets a small, if still slightly awkward, smile out of him.*

If you're showing me out, that means you should lead, right?

[patricided]

Right.

[Slipping passed him she leads the way back across the floor to the door. She pauses then and turns to look at him.]

Should I open it or ...?

[superstylishsquid]

...Probably best if I leave from in here. It's generally considered a sign of trouble if a demon goes prancing around without disguising themselves as a human first, and I can't teleport in human form.

So...I guess I'll see you the next time you drop by the shop, probably.

[patricided]

Yeah. See you.

[superstylishsquid]

*The air around him ripples as he takes one last step toward the door, and then he's gone. The last she'll see before the portal vanishes is his tail retreating into nothingness.*
