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 RNG for an intensity.
3. Roll another number from 1-15 with the RNG 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!

The storm, while not caused by his presence, almost acts like a foreboding warning of everything that encompasses the legendary First Class SOLDIER known as Sephiroth. Well, that's Ex-SOLDIER by this point. To the world he's dead and that is partially true. He did die - physically at least. But now he's something else entirely, something fueled by the same rage echoing through flashes among the darkened sky. He did not cause it, but he feels the same wrath as the planet at the moment.

It is ironic in a way, all things considered. Which is why thoughts dwell there instead of locked behind all the rage and anger. Cloud is nearby which is why he's here standing dangerously close to a window of some relatively empty building. He doesn't exactly need shelter from the elements, but Cloud most certainly does. And well -- in this kind of storm, there's little escape.

He does little to hide his presence, as he's certain he'll be noticed soon enough anyway. He almost seems distracted by the show of light, sound, and a vengeful rage just beyond the glass barrier. It's a dangerous and beautiful sight and in a past life he might be more appreciative of it. But as he stands now he simply watches with mild interest waiting for Cloud to notice. He might look rather imposing in the darkness, his figure only being highlighted by flickers and flashes. Come to him, Cloud. He's waiting.

excellent

For days, Gotham has been watching Tropical Storm Wilfred's approach on radar. The storm was upgraded to a hurricane, briefly, as it barreled past Florida and slammed into the Carolinas. Since then, it's hovered just below a Category 1, with sustained winds of roughly 70 mph and more than enough rain to wreak havoc on a city like Gotham.

Unsurprisingly, it's been a steady topic of conversation in Arkham. Will the power hold? Will the basement levels flood (again)? And if things get bad – and they will, everyone knows they will; this is Arkham, after all – how long will it take before the orderlies turn as violent as the patients? The tension's so thick, so delicious, that Joker almost hates to leave.

But with everyone busy watching the weather and chasing their own tails, it's too perfect of an escape opportunity to turn down. And besides, if the city's going to suffer this dramatically, he'd hate to be stuck in the cheap seats for the show! A couple dead C.O.s, one hostage, and a stolen laundry truck later, Joker's whistling his way back into the city, with the storm chasing close on his heels.

The rain begins as he pulls up to the abandoned novelty candy factory he used as his last hideout. He'll be easy to find here, which is, of course, the point. He drags his unconscious prisoner, a new C.O. named Rhonda Golway, into the dust and dark of the factory. By the time they're inside, both of them are wet. But Rhonda, good sport that she is, doesn't appear to mind.

Joker takes her phone from her pocket, uses her limp thumb to unlock it, and turns off its autolock feature. "And this, my dear," he tells her, "is why they tell you to keep it in your locker." He swaps her temporary restraints for more durable ones. Gags her. And tosses her into what was once a bubblegum mixer.

Outside, the wind is beginning to howl.

He takes his time using her phone to get a good photo of her in the bottom of the mixer. She's got a bit of a broken doll vibe at the moment that isn't quite what he wanted – truthfully, she looks a little dead – but with the right lighting and angles, he decides the overall effect is still more Warhol than Wisconsin Death Trip. She'll do.

He texts the photo to Batman, still using her phone, and adds a personal note: Isn't she a treat? -J.

Then he sets about getting the place – and himself – spruced up while he waits. With the storm gaining strength by the minute, he doesn't expect to wait long.

[Anise is not in a good mood. First of all, her day was hijacked by Jade, who had been acting suspiciously, forcing her to join him as he left the city to find out what he was up to. Second of all, it wasn't supposed to rain this hard. A drizzle, sure, but not enough to soak through Tokunaga, making the puppet heavy on her back. If she'd known it was going to rain like this, she would have made her beautiful doll wear an adorable raincoat, and she would have put one on herself.

Because third of all, she's cold.]


You're not supposed to make a lady go out in weather like this.

[She's whining a little. She knows she chose to come. It's still Jade's fault, and she's going to use it for what it's worth.]

You owe me dinner later.
