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!

It was no secret to anyone who knew him Antonio had a tendency to allow his mind to wander when he wasn't focused on a task. It had always been a shortcoming, and the only time it didn't plague him was on the hunt. He shouldn't have taken such a winding walk on his own, but he'd never been beyond the city the few times he'd visited Los Angeles in the past and-

-well, here he was, getting assistance from a woman who had no business existing and finding her somehow charming in the bargain.

"You may be right." He breathed a sigh. "What brings you out at this hour? Unable to resist the urge to dance in the rain?" It was mostly a joke, but then again, this woman appeared to enjoy music more than most.

"Never could resist it," she said. Which was partly true. At least, true since the 1960s, when she finally learned to really let go of...well. A lot of things, really. To let go and become more herself than she'd ever been. Conveniently at the same time! A very groovy combination.

Still. She shook her head. "I don't know though, dude," Diana admitted. "Something in the air was just calling me to wander."

She was like Tony in West Side Story. A sort of 'it's-only-just-out-of-reach-down-the-block-on-a-beach-under-a-tree-I got-a-feelin'-there's-a-miracle-due-gonna-come-true-comin'-to-me' feeling that made her chest want to explode, wondering at all the possibilities out there for her in the wider world. (Not one of her songs, but she had convinced Stephen that he needed to write the missing 'I want' song to make audiences care about Tony! And the feeling was so damn universal, too.)

"You ever get that feeling?" she asked, knowing that surely he must because everyone did. "Like there's something waiting for you?"

[architector]

"Oh? You must be an expert, then." Deflection from the elephant in the room, or on the trail as the case may be, but truth be told, Antonio really had no idea how to breach the subject. You know, dear, I couldn't help but notice while you seem to be in possession of your faculties, you seem to be thoroughly lacking a heartbeat seemed rude, though he wasn't sure there truly was a sense of wrongness when the walking dead were concerned. In short, they really were at an impasse.

He did allow himself to think for a moment on the suggestion of divine providence in her question. He had felt an almost overwhelming need for a walk this evening, even though the hunger wasn't upon him and wouldn't be for a few days yet.

"Not so overtly, but...I believe we all do, or at least we hope there is. Otherwise, life really isn't worth living after a while." And he'd had plenty of time to experience that.

[diana_abel]

Diana's whole life felt like one 'I want' song after another. So she could totally groove on what he was saying. The feeling that life just wasn't worth living without the expectation--or at least hope--that there was something exciting waiting around the corner or just around the river bend or only just out of reach.

She shrugged. "Maybe we were meant to meet, dude."

It wasn't exactly a meet cute. But he was kind of cute.

In a beardy sort of way.

"Maybe I was meant to help you find your way, here in LA." She brushed her hair back again. "Where do you need to be, anyway?"
