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 singing. Singin' in the rain.
005 ANGER - WELL YOU KNOW WHAT. SCREW YOU TOO, RAIN.
006 WILD CARD - Anyway you want it.

( She'd followed him on his run, knowing the route that he took well enough to dip on ahead and wait for him in the park. Natasha hadn't expected the storm, and by the time she'd ran to duck under a tree she was already soaked through.

She wasn't surprised that Steve wasn't deterred by the rain -- it was a warm night, the humid air not doing particularly good things for Natasha's hair, and he had to keep going to get home )

They should start a calendar.

( He's close when she calls, Natasha's arms folded as she tries to pull herself under the tree as much as she can. Of course he'd look great wet through )

[deceptives]

( It had been raining when Natasha had left but she couldn't turn back. It had been hard enough trying to meet him as it was and cancelling wouldn't have been good.

The beach is unsurprisingly deserted when she gets there, Natasha walking along the promenade in search of him, keeping her umbrella low.

She waits by one of the viewfinders, her free hand on it to level it as she looks through. There's nothing to see, but anyone else that might be here would take her for just a tourist )

[Spike had been out. Moping around over some bit of living flesh he couldn't have was depressing, so, when in doubt, go play kitten poker. The storm had started while he'd been at Clem's, and his friend had offered him a place to stay for the night, but nice as the guy was, Spike could only take so much of the smell. Besides, he'd been wiped out of his ante and there was a nice fat bag of blood back at the crypt for him.

He was thinking of just that tasty bit of numminess as he was headed home, jacket pulled up over his head to stave off the worst of that wet trickle down the back of his neck, enough so that he almost missed the sound of sobbing as he hustles past--]

Niblet?

[He jerks to a stop, frowning as he turns to see the sobbing younger sister of the object of his frustration. Bloody hell. How long had she been out in this weather? Did Buffy know where she was?

... Why did he have a feeling he was going to get blamed for this?]

What the bloody hell are you doing? Come on, then. Up and in.

[ It starts to rain right as he finishes paying for a pack of cigarettes and a can of instant coffee inside the store.

Stepping out, he keeps close to the wall, gaze lifted as if by doing so he might gauge just how long the shower plans to stretch out. It's just the two of you under the awning, in the middle of the night, while the downpour crashes onto the pavement. ]

Hope you don't mind if I smoke while I wait this out.

I'll time skip an hour on my next reply lol

[slapsintospace]

[ He took off down the path to the mines, it would probably be an hour before he'd get there, his bike could only do so much.

Did Zack Taylor just call him extra? He laughs and keeps riding down main street. The drizzle had started to turn into proper rain not long after.

He replies while pedaling because Jason is a terrible driver, regardless of the vehicle.]

stay where u are.

[Well, this is a predicament. To say Tsubomi was the type to "stop and smell the flowers" was a given, but she usually wasn't this spacey. She'd spent too much time at the botanical gardens, and then stopped to admire some new flowers that had been planted at the park... all while not noticing the clouds gathering overhead. Not until it was too late, and she was caught in a sudden downpour.

Thankfully, she'd managed to make it underneath a tree before getting too wet, but it wasn't a perfect solution. In any case, all she could do right now was wait it out, or hope that somebody came along. But that last part seemed rather unlikely...]

[He awoke with the sound of the thunder and a handful of raindrops falling on his face. In his confusion, Romani remained on the shrub he had appeared when the clouds gathered. He was too startled, and a billion of explanations didn't suffice to answer this miracle. Where? Why? How? He died. No, actually, he erased his existence from his world in order to stop the creature that had usurped his power to erase all history.

He had a body again. Even if he had disappeared, he was back somewhere. He knew he wasn't imagining the ache of thorns pressed against his back, the smell of wet grass or the chill that crossed his now rain-soaked body.

Roman gathered the courage he didn't think he still had and opened his eyes. His vision was blurry with the cold wind whipping against his face, but he could distinguish the storm clouds above the tree branches. He glimpsed the skyscrapers and, he realized this place was a metropolitan park.

Peeling his eyes from the sky, he rolled to a side to try to stand. When he pushed himself up, he noticed he was missing something. He froze and stared down his hands. His gloves were gone. His hands were bare and his fingers were ringless.

He was free.

He looked like a mess, with a dirty labcoat, tangled leaves in his hair and soaked to the bone. As a doctor, he knew he could risk pneumonia if he stayed like this, but presently all concerns were gone. Joyous laughter bubbled up out of him and he leaped to his feet, spreading his arms wide and spinning.

He might die or get a cold, but right now he was happy to skip around the rain puddles, uncaring if he looked as if he had lost his mind. He was alive, and he was free, and he knew everybody would be fine. He had seen that before he faded away. Unfortunately, his sight might have been worse than he first assumed, because in his celebratory race he didn't see a tall guy standing in middle of the park until he accidentally crashed into him.

It felt as if he had run into a wall. ]

I'm sorry!

[He blurted out, flinching in pain. At least he hadn't accidentally pushed this man to the mud. Or the, he blinked, pond? Oh, it looked like one of those koi ponds. Was this Japan or somewhere in Asia?]

[ Because the best place to meet a prickly, easily discomforted mage is in a sudden rainstorm, am I right? ]

[Okay, so. Chris had been smart. She'd paid attention to the weather report, she'd brought an umbrella, she'd made sure she kept it with her when it was time to leave wherever it was she was going.

And of course, the moment she opened it, a gust of wind ended up blowing it inside out.

So, there's a tiny puffball of a girl standing on the curb, getting drenched and cursing at her umbrella on the curb.]

[celestialhunter]

[ Always, how about Dorian runs in side and finds himself in the bar that Orion works at. If it's mid day it'll be mostly empty and we can sorta hand wave combining their worlds some so they have some context for the others but not a lot? ]

I'm not going anywhere man just don't bust ur ass out in the rain

[Not that it was a real concern; it took more than a car accident to bust their asses. It took more than a full on train collision, actually.

Still, Jason didn't need to be going out in this mess. It was nice of him, and it was best if he managed to keep himself from getting smashed into by a car or skidding into the pavement, ideally.

Zack felt pretty confident security wasn't out looking for punk kids fucking around in the mines in this weather, so he sat under one of the few light fixtures at the site, covering himself from the rain with his backpack. At this point it felt mostly useless, but at least no one could say he didn't make an effort.]

[Okay, that? That totally got Yurio to instinctively brace himself. While people recognizing him away from an ice skating rink did happen, when it usually happened it was typically the prelude to him getting jumped by a horde of fangirls who’d proceed to force a pair of white kitty ears on him and take pictures.

Then that got him to make an annoyed noise because the other guy clearly wasn’t hiding a pair of kitty ears (…probably) on him, and so the realization this was an expectation was-…screw that. He very deliberately relaxed because it’s not like he was bracing himself seconds ago.

Then…wow, that rain was seriously coming down. Then he really looked. And then squinted a little. Then, his eyes widened ever so slightly in dawning horror.] You. You’re the one Katsudon has a picture of, aren’t you. In Hasetsu. […then, shit, sharply, because-] The other Yuri.

[Just in case Other Guy thought Katsudon was a fond nickname of some kind. It’s not. No. He’s totally Yuri Lesser. Yuri Minor. The Yuri to be crushed under the skate of the superior Yuri. ‘Katsudon’ because he has no rights to the Yuri name.

But…it felt really weird calling Katsudon ‘Yuri’ and he instantly regrets not going for, say, the more impersonal Katsuki. Yurio has so very many regrets right now…but ultimately it’s his name too, dammit, so of course he can say it. He shouldn’t feel weird about saying his name. If Katsudon wanted rights to Yuri too then maybe he shouldn’t flub so many of his jumps and do better than he’s doing, because whatever Katsudon’s doing right now he can do better than what he’s doing.

…he just didn’t think it would feel so…

Weird. Indirectly calling Katsudon by his given name. Even if it was only to make a point. Whatever.]

[boogiedown]

You - He - Yuuri has a picture of me?!?!

[Ah. Here's the expected "fangirling," Minami's voice squeaking high on that last part. But he doesn't jump. Just kind of... clutches his heart and sags back against the wall. Goggling at Yurio.

What is his life.

It only lasts a second though. Then he shakes his head violently. Beaming so bright you could almost believe the sun had come back out.]

I'm Kenjirou Minami - Minami's okay, though!

[el_paso]

[ He's asked himself a thousand times what the hell he's doing here. Why he let himself get coaxed out like this.

Logan wondered if she'd even show, but Natasha didn't strike him as the type to give up because of a little inclement weather. So here he is, watching her lone figure against the mottled grey sky. Turning up the collar of his coat, he steps out across the promenade to meet her, unbothered by the rain. ]

How's the view?

[agapan]

[This is a trap.] ...why wouldn’t I call you Minami?

[He’s Russian and doesn’t quite get that he’s possibly activating the s.link, but he knows a trap when he sees it. Or hears it.] Whatever. And of course Katsudon has a picture of you. He has a picture of everyone. Why wouldn’t he have one of you? You did the- [Vague hand gesture. It’s supposed to imply - somehow, don’t ask him how - ice skating. He made the mistake of asking ‘who’s this guy, I never saw him before, somebody related to Katsudon?’ and then heard the story.] -that time Ka- Yuri hit his head. [Shift, turn, Some G- Minami is now officially more interesting than watching the rain fall down and thus he’s now getting some very fixed attention.]

I heard all about it. We all did.

[gunpowders]

[ oh ]

Really?!

[ in a rare display of consideration, twain tugs the handkerchief off and wipes his nose with it one last time. he wads it up and crams it into a pocket, a spring in his step and a wide grin on his face as he moves to huddle under the umbrella with hawthorne. ]

Wow— thanks a whole bunch!

[ woops. their shoulders brushed. ]

[himoji]

I just said don't touch me.

[ but he makes no attempt to move, anyway. he figures that, if twain really does catch a cold, it'll weigh heavy on his conscience from then on. ]

You can keep that handkerchief, too.

[gunpowders]

It's hard!!

[ mindful of his coworker's reminder, twain puts a half inch of space between them. this likely won't last long. ]

Do you want me to hold the umbrella? I could probably do it better.
