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.

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 flips the salmon over and jogs over to where the bed was, dragging it away from the wall to spare it from the typical roof leak. The furniture sliders were still tucked under the bedframe's corners from the last rainstorm incident.]
Every time I replace some shingles and fix up some of the holes, it seems like two new ones appear. Handyman repairs might not be my forté.
[He's got a lot of skills under his belt but honestly it's easier to just keep a dozen buckets than it is to learn how to repair a leaky window or busted roof tiling.]
no subject
[ With the rice cooking, Ritsuka goes to the closet to collect the buckets. He doesn't know where it leaks, but he returns with all the buckets he could find in his arms. He's really not prepared. ]
How many are there? Does it get cold if the power goes out?
[ So much for their peaceful day. ]
no subject
Oh, very. Don't worry, we can keep each other very warm.
no subject
Soubi, stop saying stuff like that.
[ It's a common enough dance between them. Ritsuka barely blinks an eye. ]
Where do I put them?
no subject
no subject
It's been happening this long?
[ Now Ritsuka worries. What if the roof falls on Soubi one night? ]
I'll help you find somebody.
[ The first leak of the day manages to come through in a spot Ritsuka hasn't covered. Seeing the drip, he hurries to it quickly with the bucket. ]
It's this bad...
no subject
[He's amused to watch Ritsuka hurrying to place the plethora of plastic buckets. Dinner is done, thankfully before the storm got worse and threatened the power. He set the salmon onto plates and onto the table, letting it sit and rest whilst he joined the efforts to rescue his apartment from the water.]
I've been making sure that mold isn't growing, once mold starts growing then I'll actually be in trouble.
no subject
[ Why is Soubi okay with this? ]
Isn't the person over your building supposed to fix this?
[ He doesn't know. They own a house. ]
