let there be rain

[imemes]

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!

3 is from intensity, right? 😳

[dumpset]

yeah

[ he's just not going to mention that it's only meant for one person. ]

where are you

Yup!

[saltinourstars]

Bus stop next to the park

[dumpset]

oh heading there now

[ And it's not too far away from where they said they'd meet up so it only takes a couple of minutes for Tobio to arrive. With his small umbrella in hand shielding him from the light shower, he crosses from the other side of the street to where Tsukishima is waiting for him. ]

Hey.

[ He greets as soon as he's close enough.

Kinda funny how Tobio of all people came prepared for this instead of the other way around. Good thing he doesn't possess the personality to tease, or else he would've done so by now. ]

[saltinourstars]

Hey.

[There is a deep sigh of relief as Tsukki zips up his jacket.]

Go on, say it, you've earned the free shot.

[dumpset]

[ A small smile appears on Tobio's lips. Okay, this is pretty funny. ]

There's nothing to say.

[ He says with a casual shrug, playing it cool. ]

At least it's not raining too hard.

[saltinourstars]

[Tsukki huffs. But if Kageyama is going to be Quietly Smug, that's... actually pretty advanced. For him.

There's a dubious glance at the umbrella.]

I guess.

...Are we going to fit under that?

[dumpset]

[ He also takes a glance at his own umbrella and then back at Tsukishima. It really doesn't help that they're both... larger than average for their age. ]

We'll have to.

[ Tobio then steps aside to make some imaginary space for the blond. ]

[saltinourstars]

[Ugh. Whatever. They can't spend the whole day staring at each other.

Whose idea was this again...]

Fine.

[Gingerly, Tsukki tries to navigate into the space. Without crowding Kageyama out. Or touching him. But it's quickly obvious only one of those things can happen.]

[dumpset]

[ Before these two finally realized their feelings and decided to go on a date, Tobio might not have liked the idea of doing anything with Tsukishima, much less, touching him in any way...

But that is all in the past.

Right now, Tobio doesn't mind at all. In fact, he's the one who reaches out and pulls Tsukishima closer so that Tsukishima doesn't end up getting hit too much by the rain. A part of their shoulders are still very much exposed but at least the other half can stay warm and dry. ]

This okay?

[saltinourstars]

[They've made progress, it's true. An incredible amount. That does not mean Tsukki's prepared to have this much of Kageyama pressed into him.

Is it possible for ears to burn off?]

Better than nothing.

So are we still going to that cafe? Or...

[dumpset]

Yeah, we could go if you still want to.

[ He answers as they begin to walk, going across the road again from where Tobio had come from. ]

The rain isn't too bad... and this is still a date.

[ He flushes a little as he says this, though his expression remains stoic. ]

[saltinourstars]

[Tsukki's answer is cut off by the umbrella pressing into the top of his head. He winces.]

Ow.

[dumpset]

[ He straightens the umbrella and holds it up higher. ]

Oh, sorry.

[saltinourstars]

[Tsukki scowls. At the umbrella, the rain, the entire scenario. He was trying not to have... expectations. They must have formed anyway. Why else would this feel so frustrating.]

Not your fault.

[dumpset]

[ Sensing Tsukishima's frustrations, Tobio frowns a little. He's not sure what he can do or say to make this better for them. This was supposed to be a date. Their first one. Maybe they needed to take a rain check, after all... ]

We can do this another time.

[saltinourstars]

[An actual, reasonable suggestion?

Tsukki considers.

Then hunches closer to Kageyama. Heart jittering.]

I am not letting the rain beat me.

[He can smell whatever Kageayama uses in his hair. A fact both instantly cataloged and very distracting.]

[dumpset]

[ He doesn't expect that Tsukishima would come any closer, so he tenses—just in surprise—before relaxing. A tinge of red paints his cheeks. ]

Me neither.

[ With that said, they continue on their way to the cafe. They get a few strange and curious looks. But other than that, no one bothers them. Tobio makes sure he's holding the umbrella up high enough so it doesn't accidentally bump against Tsukishima's head again. ]
