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.

[The Sheriff pulled over on the side of the road, behind Stile's jeep and ducked out of the car. He jogged through the rain to the driver side door and knocked on the window.]

Come on, kid, wait in my car. I'll get a tow truck out here.

[reluctantrobin]

[Stiles winces, ducking his head a little so he won't show his cheek, which is starting to bloom with a bruise. He winds the window down, his lips quirking into a slightly guilty smile. He forgot his Dad was on patrol tonight.]

Called one already.

[papasheriff]

Stiles, don't make me wait in the rain. Get in the patrol car.

[He points over his shoulder and steps back from the door, meaning Stiles should get out now.]

[reluctantrobin]

[He tugs the hood up, to cover his face as best he can, before closing the window and slipping out of the car. His face falls when he sees the damage down one side of the car, there are deep scratches along the paintwork, and two of the tires have blown, and he seriously cannot afford to keep fixing his damn jeep.

Well. Better his jeep than him, he figures. Because that could have so easily been him. Geez.]

No problemo, el capitán.

[papasheriff]

Car, Stiles.

[The Sheriff takes a walk around the Jeep, checking out the damage. It was a lot more than he was expecting when he noticed Stiles on the side of the road.]

[reluctantrobin]

Going.

[Stiles moves around the Jeep, making his way to his Dad's car, before slipping in the passenger side. He immediately turns up the radio to listen in, just in case there are any other 'incidents.']

[papasheriff]

[After radioing in the accident, the Sheriff slides back into the car and rubs the rain out of his hair.]

It looks like you hit a deer. There's a lot of blood on the car.

[reluctantrobin]

Yeah. Makes sense.

[He turns in the seat, to look out the window, watching the rain hitting the glass. He shoves one hand in his pocket, running his thumb along the edge of his phone.]

[papasheriff]

Makes sense? You didn't see what you hit?

[reluctantrobin]

Nope.

[He pops the 'p', wondering idly if he should shoot off a message to one of the pack. Get them to track the- whatever the hell it was, before it tried to hurt anyone else.]

Kinda raining pretty hard.

[papasheriff]

I noticed that. We're going to go home.

[reluctantrobin]

I can't go to Scott's?

[papasheriff]

You're lucky I don't take you to the hospital.

[reluctantrobin]

I'm fine.

[papasheriff]

Except for the possible concussion. I'm taking you home and keeping an eye on you.

[reluctantrobin]

[Stiles huffs, tugging the hood down, because there's no point hiding any more.]

I didn't hit my head that hard.

[papasheriff]

I'm going to keep an eye on you so we can either do that at home or at the office.

[reluctantrobin]

Or. Ooor... You could leave me with Scott?

[papasheriff]

I would if Melissa was home tonight, but she's working so no. You're stuck with me.

[reluctantrobin]

[Stiles slips his phone from his pocket, shooting off a quick group message.]

Fine. Can we get curly fries? I'm hungry.

[papasheriff]

Sure.

[He drives away from Stiles' jeep, trusting the tow truck and deputy he called to watch it take care of it.]

[reluctantrobin]

I'll even look the other way if you get something.

[papasheriff]

I already ate before work.

[reluctantrobin]

Are you okay to just- leave your shift?

[papasheriff]

My kid got in a car accident, they can give me a couple minutes.
