Rainy day meme


You've cross-indexed every weather report and they all call for rain.
Use the RNG to randomize, or pick a prompt yourself.



Stay Dry:
1. Umbrella-ella-ella: A rainbow of colors, from black to red and leopard spots and clear.
2. Raincoat: You've got your raincoat buttoned up--but what about your friend?
3. Staying Inside: You're not going anywhere. Hot tea/cocoa/coffee/bloodwine/whatever, a blanket, and maybe a good book or someone to chat with. You can watch the rain from here.
4. Under an awning/outside: No umbrella, no coat, but maybe these shopkeepers won't mind you standing here until it eases off.
5. Tree: Probably not the best idea, but it's not a thunderstorm, so you might be dry, if it's a big enough tree.


Getting wet:
6. Puddle splashing: Put on your galoshes and have some fun! Or maybe the puddles are just too big to avoid...
7. Let's Play! are you one of those strange people who think the best time to go out and run, bike, or play sports is in the rain? Garden? Fly kites? (Please try not to imitate Ben Franklin.)
8. Work or Duty: You're not out here for fun--you HAVE to be out here. Too bad the weather's so awful
9. Unprepared: The trees are all drippy, the wind gets under any awnings you can find, and finding a dry place to stand for a few minutes is nigh impossible.
10. Umbrell-eh? You thought you were all prepared for the wet weather. And then your umbrella broke, your raincoat sprung a leak, and the gutters are overflowing.


Extreme:
11. Thunderbolts and Lightning! Very very frightening? Or maybe you're reveling in it? Telling scary stories to make it worse or soothing frayed nerves with a lullaby?
12. Blow Blow Thou Wind: It gets into everything! Blowing you off course, small dogs away from owners, and whatever else it can get at. Or maybe you're smart enough to watch the blasts from inside.
13. Water's Rising: Is it just me, or are the creeks getting a little high? Or maybe it's just your waterlogged yard or gutters.
14. Freezing rain: oh well now THIS is fun. Leaves everything in a coating of ice. Slick, brings down powerlines--but you can sled on it (if you don't value your skull much).


15. Wild Card Is it raining frogs? Cats and dogs? Storm of the year? Just a drizzly mist? Rain that lasts for about 5 seconds and then it's sunny again? Whatever floats your boat, so to speak.

Turn you into her...? [Rapunzel blinks. Somehow she'd never really thought that something like that could even happen. It wasn't a thought that ever entered her head, really.] ...Well... I guess I wouldn't really want to turn into my mother, either... I can't really imagine it, for some reason.

But I'm glad yours doesn't nag anymore! I guess you wouldn't be out here in the rain with me, otherwise.

[A nervous laugh over on Merida's side.]

Wee----ell, I'm actually supposed t'be at home now. But I figured helpin' out another lassie was more important than makin' it home on time for dinner.

[After a quick pause]

Don't worry though. Once I get home I can explain t'my mother and she'll understand!

[maybe.]

[letdownmyhair]

[And just like that, just about all the merriment in Rapunzel's face drains away, leaving behind total shock.]

So... She's just back home waiting for you..???

No, don't worry. She has her hands more than full with my brothers. They're triplets.

[Kind of a truth.]

Really, it's just fine.

[letdownmyhair]

Oh...

[She looks confused for a second, pushing some wet hair out of her face.] What's a... triplet?

[myownhand]

[Her face immediately brightens.]

Triplets! It's when three wee babbies are born at once. So I have three younger brothers.

Though really, they're more like wee devils. At least if y'ask me.
