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!

[ Dante doesn't do umbrellas. V does have one, but he's still in his sandals so he's not in a much better state. He still regards Dante with a neutral expression, slowly verging onto exasperation. ]

Is there a particular reason you're standing out here in the rain, like a drowned puppy? Or have you finally conceded you require a bath.

There's a witchy beauty to the swampland rains of Outworld, but the downpour is as punishing as it is striking. He's soaked to the skin in moments, his cloak clinging to his broad shoulders like wet parchment, heavy raindrops splattering against his face and stinging his eyes.

He doesn't have to feel any of it. For one such as he, an omega-level telekinetic who once flew into the sun and emerged unharmed, shielding himself against the elements would be child's play. But Exodus willingly endures them, just as his traveling companion must.

That's why he's here, after all. For Syzoth and those like him, all the other mutants of Zikandur. It matters not to him that the Zaterrans aren't human, or that their true forms are those of mannish lizards. He swore an oath to protect and defend all mutants, regardless of what realm they come from.

"The water's rising quickly." Among his other skills, Exodus has a deft hand for understatement. The brackish swamp water has already risen to their ankles and shows no signs of slowing down any time soon. "Perhaps we should make camp in the trees and wait it out?"

( some would call this a blessing, giving them a reason to stop, to rest for longer than just a sleep, to actually have a moment to themselves after the assassins in the night, tadpoles in their heads and-- well, every day ended in y.

some would call it a blessing but those people were not minthara. minthara who, having been awake hours already since finishing her meditations, had a very sour look on her )


Our enemies will not let rain cease their efforts. ( and she didn’t think it should stop theirs either, despite how miserable the conditions were. it wasn't just rain but with the mud and cliffs their next few hours would have been less than safe to continue )

The army of the Absolute will continue marching on to Baldur's Gate regardless, compelled to perhaps but they will make it. I thought we wished to be there before them?

The motorcycle has a flat so he's pushing it through the rain when he sees her and stops.

He's seen a lot of things, is the thing. But he's never seen anyone who looks quite like her and he watches her, fascinated, not caring--never caring--that he's staring.
