Rain

 

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!

[there's always so much going on that anyone would wish, sometimes, that things would slow down. for what is, by all accounts, a sleepy town, westview is bustling; if it isn't the neighborhood watch or some fundraiser or another, it's endless social events filling their calendar to the brim. they're good neighbors, of course, she and vision, and like good neighbors, the'll attend the annual picnic like they've attended all the other events, no matter any preferences for a quiet day that might exist among them.

the early morning sun peeks in through the living room curtains, hints of a beautiful, perfect day outside, where there isn't bound to be a single cloud. it's what anyone could want from a saturday, especially one with such a big event in store. wouldn't it be just terrible if —

without warning, those rays of sun fade, and the room darkens. there's the sound of rain beating against the windows, and the sound of thunder in the distance. this is likely to last for a while.

a smile curls on wanda's mouth. that's better.

she approaches vision from behind, wrapping her arms around his middle. says softly, with her face pressed into the back of his blazer,]


A shame about the picnic today. Isn't it, dear?

As Phaedra steps out of the club, she almost looks prepared for the weather. But on second glance, that's a black lace parasol she's carrying, not an umbrella. A tiny woman with her hair in curls, she's dressed like she's cosplaying a haunted porcelain doll, in dark purples and blacks and greys. It fits the club's theme; Penny Dreadful is a gothic Victorian burlesque club, the sort of place it's almost a little too on the nose for a vampire to work.

Almost.

The club is closing for the night, though, two in the morning arriving along with the rain. It's going to make for a fun walk home, Phaedra's black boots splooshing through every single puddle, even those she could feasibly avoid. It's like she's not worried in the least about catching a cold, for some reason.

[OOC: Not particularly interested in playing out a rain battle, but writing the aftermath of one or holing up somewhere after a job got complicated by the rain sounds grand. I'm also open to rainy surveillance nights, or storms heard outside while characters hang out bonding or plotting indoors. Crossanon and assumed CR are welcome, as are other ideas for scenes.]
