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!

"I'm not asking. You're offering." She grins and bats her eyelashes innocently. As much as she doesn't want to let him go, getting to watch him walk around naked is a very nice fringe benefit. In fact, she suggests he take his time, particularly as he's walking away. She takes the opportunity while he's gone to run her fingers through her hair and take a better look around, now that the lights are on. The impression is pretty much the same as in candlelight, though now the floor is littered with discarded clothes.

She takes the offered glass with a smile and a thank-you kiss. After a good, long drink she sets it on the side table and pulls the sheet back for him to re-join her.

"Tell me more about this room upstairs. Is the bed as comfortable as this one?"

His apartment is Gothic Victorian and he's not really apologetic about it. Jessica may call it morbid but it's his aesthetic. After handing Margaery the glass of water, he lays back down next to her.

"Tired you out?" he teases with a smile. It's not like he isn't feeling tired too. "I've never slept on the bed upstairs, but it's high quality at least." Malcolm brushes a piece of hair behind her ear. "I'm sorry that I have to banish you up there."

She shakes her head, likely knocking loose the strand of hair he's just put behind her ear. "Shush, you're not banishing me anywhere. I just thought I'd weigh my options before you exhaust me beyond the ability to think."

She emphasizes her point with a long, slow, deep kiss as she presses her body against his once more. "You could take me up there and tuck me in... nice and slow. Or hard and fast. Whatever you're in the mood for."

A slow smile curls across his face. "I can't think of a better way to test out the bed," he tells her. "We've got to make sure it's comfortable, after all."

Despite the thunderstorm and the loss of power, tonight had turned out better than he ever could have thought it would. Malcolm glad that he and Margaery decided to take the step of sleeping together. There's definitely no turning back now.

[Well, that sounds like a wrap-up. Hand-wave more sexytimes and a good night's sleep for them both?]
