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 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 rain comes down in a thundering swell, blown in as if out of nowhere by a vengeful deity. it's not him, honest. sure there were times in the past when he was trying to terraform mondstadt and hurled a few mountains around, blew ice from the landscape, the likes. maybe once in a while coaxed in rainstorms when there were some dangerous droughts threatening farms and the peoples' livelihoods. but otherwise venti is about as laissez faire with weather as he is with almost everything else in life. raiden could command storms with a thought and whim, barbatos likely can too, but he's far less likely to.

this sudden downpour sweeping in is 100% natural. but it definitely makes things inconvenient as he hurries under the eave of a shop to find lisa there, probably dropping or picking up a book from a customer. he beams at her because of course, he's terribly fond of all the knights and everyone working with them, and... well honestly, he kiind of feels a kindred spirit with lisa sometimes. when the majority of the knights are more workaholics than not, he thinks lisa shares his carefree attitude towards work. though of course, there are times responsibility can't be avoided.

unfortunately they can't dodge the rain as much as they can responsibility though. ]
Lisa, hello!

It's really coming down, isn't it? [ he likes playing around in light or even moderate rainfall, but one step out of the eaves and it'd be like taking a shower. ] Normally I'd say blessings be for showers to bring May flowers, but clearly, it's already autumn. Time certainly flies~

Shall we try to wait this out?

[personal profile] genie_lady 2021-10-20 11:00 pm (UTC)(link)
The rain was coming down in buckets, flooding the streets and bringing the nearby streams and rivers to new heights. A lone bottle, forgotten by time, bobs and weaves through the flooding as its carried along and kicked up onto the river banks.

Inside, Jeannie is not happy about the ride, her entire room having been turned upside down but she is glad when it finally stops, despite the bottle tilted on its side. She blows some of her hair out of her face, getting up to brush herself off. "Well, that was not fun in the least," she grumbled, setting a few pillows back where they should be.

[Loki hates the rain on principle. It's not his, he has no control over it, frequently someone else has control over it and chooses to harass him with it, and he looks like a drowned rat when his hair gets wet.

He's under a tree, well away from the Palace grounds, and he's well aware that's the worst possible place to stand when there's lightning and thunder (there's...rather a lot of that), but he figures it's best to get electrocuted and get it over with.

When he spots Thor, his baleful glare zeroes in on him from a distance, like a laser pointer.]


...Must you?

[FFS, Brother.]
