wouldn't you like to know, weatherboy



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!

If it's raining, I don't get wet.

It's a simple spell. The problem is, he made it early in his 'magical career', so to speak, when he didn't know better. Now he's stuck with it-- whenever it's raining, he can't, physically, get wet. Whenever he has to go outside in the rain, he has to avoid anyone that might notice his clothing's persistent refusal to become soggy. An umbrella, you might say, what a clever idea! Matthew wishes he'd thought of it!

Ultimately, what all of this ends up meaning is that when he's sneaking-- terribly suspicious, he has no gift for stealth-- through the rain and spots another human begin, he yelps and dives into a nearby alleyway, attempting to hide. Very poorly.

[ Brown water sloshes around the ankles of Uli's boots as he steps over the roots and fallen limbs crisscrossing the sunken path their Juggernauts carved through this sector of the rainforest about a month ago, water sliding off his camouflage parka and splashing down into the water running along the forest floor in heavy sheets. He supposes there's a reason they call it the rainforest, although he's never seen the weather this bad, which is probably why they're about to pack up the whole outfit and head toward the highlands, wounded in tow.

And visitors in tow, Naboo's Senator Amidala being one of them. Uli eventually finds her staring out at a particularly formidable vein of rainwater as it rushes through a gulch between ancient root systems, handmaidens nowhere in sight. He has to wonder if she informed them that she was leaving camp, but it's not his business, so he sticks to what he was sent here to tell her, all but shouting to be heard above the deafening frogsong and millions of raindrops pounding the waxy leaves of the canopy. ]


Senator, we just got word from CP! Orders are to evacuate. They're saying the river a kilometer north of us is going to swell over its banks tonight and we're in the floodplain! [ Why they chose to situate a hospital there of all places is anyone's guess, but the Grand Army has never been exceedingly logical in these kinds of decisions. ]

[of all the places to get stuck in the rain alone Law has to find himself in a bustling town with crowds pressing in on all sides, scrambling to duck under building awnings and restaurant outdoor seating to take shelter from the storm.

it's musty where he's stuck beneath a tree in the courtyard, at least four other people crowded around him. he tugs the brim of his hat tightly over his face, scowls and tries to elbow as many people who get close as possible with his bony little elbows-- Ace might just be so lucky]

[true, it could have been a lot worse-- they only just missed the open market's complete exodus of every single mother and child and youngun, and stuck in the crowd that flowed much like the waters into the sewer drains below, they've more or less been pushed along to find shelter. even if that shelter is this little hole in the wall cafe where they've weaseled drinks out of the staff. nothing extravagant, they're not criminals.

She doesn't have an umbrella, of course, so when he comes up beside her, he stretches his over her head as well. "Harley." Malcolm turns his smile on her. "Where are you headed to?"
