rain meme

 

the rain meme

Ah, rain—the precipitation that the whole world has a love/hate affair with. It waters the garden for free and ruins baseball games. It cools you off in the summer and it causes more ice and sleet to appear in the winter. Sometimes it is lovely and falls at a decent pace for a few hours, other times, it blasts the whole eastern seaboard away.

Poems and songs have been written about it, people have danced in it, others have cursed its entire existence, and still more refuse to go out and drive in it.

Now it’s time to roll some dice and see what the weather will have in store for you today.


directions

1. Comment with your character, series, preferences, etc in the subject.
2. Roll a number between 1-5 with the RGN for an intensity.
3. Roll 1-15 with the RGN for a situation.
4. Reply to other comments and play the scenario out!
5. Don’t catch a cold!


intensity

1. DRIZZLE ☂ It’s not too heavy or too light of a downpour, just enough to wash away stuff in the air, water the ground, and clean up the streets. 

2. MONSOON ☂ It’s horrible and awful! Rain is coming down in buckets, no one can get anywhere, the wind is whipping everything about, and now the cable is out.

3. SHOWER ☂ Reminds you of early spring, doesn’t it? A nice shower to make everything all green and smell fresh again. Lovely.

4. FLOOD ☂ While rain is good, it can sometimes be bad. Grab a boat!

5. CATS & DOGS ☂ You’re lucky with this one. It’s not the worst storm in the world, but it’s still pretty heavy. Be careful when driving!


prompts

1. A DARK, STORMY NIGHT ☂ You know all those stories that start off with a stormy night before something goes wrong: a murder, an attack by ninjas, a crime. It is one of the best known clichés in the world, and you’re stuck in the middle of it.

2. HUMIDITY ☂ It’s that time of the year again when the humidity rises and the rain has two options: make it worse or make it go away. Good luck getting the latter.

3. GRAY RAIN OF DEPRESSION ☂ We all know this one. Stuck in the middle of no where, or right after an argument, or something that leads to angst, the rain decides to express someone’s feelings in a physical form, serious or over the top.

4. QUIET MORNING ☂ Nothing to do, nowhere to be… sometimes the rain is a welcomed addition to a quiet day. Gives you an excuse to stay in, curl up in a warm blanket and a book, maybe a loved one or a cup of hot chocolate. With sprinkles.

5. PUDDLES ☂ After it rains, what is the number one thing you have to do? Go put on some rubber boots and splash around of course!

6. SUDDEN STORM ☂ It might have been predicted, but sometimes storms just sweep in and do their thing with little to no warning. Hope you’re not outside.

7. THUNDER & LIGHTNING ☂ Loud, surprising, scary, ominous, comforting, fantastic to watch or listen to… some like thunder and lightning, others not so much. Of course, if this happens before a big confrontation, the universe is telling you something.

8. CAN’T GET WORSE ☂ You did not say that. You did not just say that. How many times does this need to be seen in movies and books before anyone learns?

9. STUCK ☂ No, no, no, no. This cannot be happening. What happened to the ten percent chance of rain? You forgot your umbrella and now you’re stuck in it!

10. RUINED PLANS ☂ You had all these wonderful plans to go outside, have some fun in the sunshine, do some errands, maybe a date… and the weather goes against them.

11. DANCING ☂ Sometimes rain is a cause for celebration, or you just feel like doing something spontaneous. Grab someone to join you and get wet!

12. RAIN BATTLE ☂ The most intense, important battles happen in the rain. Verbal spars, punching someone in the guts; it’s all dramatic and climatic. And no one slips.

13. DATE ☂ Aww, don’t let the weather ruin your date! It can be really romantic, being out in the rain, and it’s always fun to go with the flow.

14. A DAY INSIDE ☂ Sometimes, it’s just better to stay inside and enjoy something simple and easy like board games or catching up on TV shows, or maybe the bills. 

15. WILD CARD ☂ Was there something I missed? Did you want to roll again or choose your own adventure? Go for it!

[ he had planned some dumb picnic on a rooftop-- the rooftop-- the one where they first kissed, and had alfred prepare a basket fit for a king (and queen). dressed as batman, he cleverly directed her there during one of their usual chases until the rain begins without warning and he quickly pulls the basket and blanket with him as the two of them rush and huddle under an awning as it begins to pour down. for a little bit, he sits quietly with his arm around her. ]

Hh. Always raining in this city. [ he watches the heavy droplets fall. ] So, is it different>

[ Cleverly, sure.

And he certainly did manage to fool her for a little while, there, but it's only a matter of time before she realizes where they're headed. Out of all the rooftops in the city, it's not every day they find themselves back on this particular rooftop. She plays along because it's sweet, he can be incredibly sweet when he wants to be. It's just such a shame that the weather doesn't want to cooperate with his plans.

She's curled up beside him, settled comfortably, and tucked into the space between between his arm as they watch the rain trickle down. An eyebrow quirked, Selina glances up at him. ]


It looks like they re-tarred up here?

[ Not what he's asking about. ]

The chase, I mean. [ he smiles. ]

Now that we're married. [ he reaches over and grabs a bottle of champagne from the small basket, the sound of the cork popping muffled by the rainfall. bruce pours her a glass and offers it-- ladies first. ]

[ The corners of her mouth curl into a smirk as she reaches to take the glass into her hands. She brings it up to her lips, but she doesn't take a sip just yet -- she's having a moment. Letting his words replay in the back of her mind. It still doesn't feel real. It doesn't feel possible. She's been so happy these last few days, and she's not used to being able to trust that.

Selina leans in a little closer, stealing a quick kiss. ]


Well, it certainly makes the escape a bit more tricky...
