forgive me



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!

[ Akira's just about to offer temporary use of his umbrella when Ryuji opens the door and an angry gust ushers in a torrent of raindrops over the entranceway. The timing is comical enough that he can't help a quiet burst of laughter. Thankfully the hammering of raindrops and blustering of wind against the windowpanes helps cover up that sound. ]

Unlucky timing.

[ He's behind the counter, holding down the fort while Sojiro's gone out for a bit—or what was supposed to be a bit, anyway. He'll probably wait out this weather as well. Leblanc is in capable hands, after all.

Said hands grab for a towel and toss it Ryuji's way. ]


Looks like you're stuck here for a while. Want another drink?

awesome!! \o/

Coming right up.

[ Ryuji's preferences are common knowledge around here at this point: nothing too bitter, of course. Some sweet hot cocoa seems like the perfect drink to combat this weather, warm and comforting. Akira gets to work on preparing a cup.

He's grabbing a saucepan when Ryuji bemoans his luck, earning him a glance over his shoulder. ]


Nope. [ Sojiro probably doesn't see any point in getting it installed upstairs when Akira himself is only a temporary fixture. That's fine, considering he's never really missed it. Too much to do during his days, and he just rents a movie when he wants to watch something different. ] What's on today?

[ The name's familiar. Ryuji left a volume of that over here once, didn't he? Akira might've read a few chapters in a rare fit of procrastination. ]

We're kind of like monster crushers, when you think about it. [ When Akira glances over his shoulder, his eyes are shining with amusement. ] Think of it like a handbook.

[ Does the TV down here have cable? He thinks it does, even though it rarely ever leaves the basic channels that host news and talk shows. Worth a shot, anyway, so he pivots away from the stovetop long enough to grab the remote from under the counter and slide it to Ryuji. ]

I don't think anyone's dropping in in this weather.

Just right now?

[ It doesn't really have the full effect when he's turned away like this, but maybe Ryuji can see the edges of the motion as he raises a hand to clutch the apron over his chest as if wounded. A rare, openly physical gag, but only because joking around like this is so easy with Ryuji.

Akira looks back once more as he continues working on the base for the hot cocoa. It's just stirring, anyway. ]


Maybe you should write them your suggestions. They might name a character after you.

[ Well, he can deal with that. Even being Ryuji's second or third favorite person is a position of considerable honor. His enthusiasm brightens the cafe even more than the colorful, flashy images that take up the TV screen as the opening song plays. With the volume turned up like that, it almost eclipses the onslaught of rain against the windows.

Akira does his best to watch without letting himself get too distracted from his task. ]


You'll have to update me on what's happening right now. [ He speaks up as the music winds down, adding the milk to the pot along with a couple of other ingredients before continuing to stir. ]
