the rain meme.


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 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!

[ you'd think that it wouldn't rain very much, a city like nimbasa. with an arid dust bowl just to the south — and a scorching desert resort a rock throw away, inexplicably popular with tourists eager to get scorching sand in their faces — even the blustery autumn months should be accompanied by a bright sun and balmy heat, all things considered. clear skies seem to be the theme on the c-gear's forecast: with the exception of the occasional spot of clouds here and there as the morning gives way to afternoon, it seems as perfect of a day as any other for the girls to make their mark on "the city where lightning sparkles."

whoever came up with that slogan must be having a pretty good chuckle at mei's expense, right about now. there's no such thing as a "0%" chance in unova - and even 90% odds aren't something you can take at face value. and while this is true of everything, it's especially true of the weather. sometimes, a passing shower will roll in from driftveil to the west. sometimes, a battle will break out, and a heedless trainer will call on their partner for a rain dance. and sometimes, an especially capricious (and powerful!) pokémon will come zooming past on a cloud on its path from one route to the next, leaving claps of thunder, whipping winds, and pouring rain in its wake.

naturally, not the sort of storm worth waiting on line for a ferris wheel in. while the thunder and lightning rumbled over the city, mei had been quick to take shou by the hand and walk her over to one of the cafés she likes on join avenue...just as a way of killing time, until the storm passes by and it's safe to go out again.

she's trying hard to look less upset over it than she actually is, while two of them sit and listen to the rain. after all, shou is here — that alone is reason not to let herself get too grumpy. but mei's not really the type to sit still, and she had a whole afternoon's worth of activity planned out... ]


Maybe we should try catching it...?

[ she's just thinking out loud, her fingers idly twirling at the spoon in her coffee cup — like she needs to do something with her hands. she's got just as much energy in person as she has over the xtransceiver: she just doesn't always know where to channel it. ]

It might make the storm go away, if we can get it in a Pokéball...
