{ 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.

Now it’s time to roll some dice and see what the weather will have in store for you today.
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!

Aerith-hunting as promised
5 +9. The RNGods were good to us lol
[Pushing back her mass of heavy, soaking wet hair, Aerith peered out from under the awning to look up at the sky, only for a large drop of rain to hit her between the eyes. With a sound that was half yelp and half laugh, she pulled back and wiped at her face with the heel of her hand.]
It doesn't look like it'll be stopping any time soon.
[The downside of that was she was absolutely saturated from top to bottom, there was water even in her boots! Aerith could feel her toes squishing within them and it didn't feel good in the least. On the plus side... her flowers would be loving this weather! After the dry spell they'd had, this was more than welcome. She just wished that it had happened while she was comfortably at home. And not suck outside waiting for a lull in the torrential downfall.]
Woohoo!
[Then he clears his throat.] No kidding. Wish I'd worn a swimsuit out instead!
Re: Woohoo!
She probably should have taken stock of her surroundings, but hadn't in favour of just getting out from under those large rainclouds. And now there was someone behind her. Okay, well all she needed to do was take a deep breath and then turn around.
Which is exactly what Aerith did.
A nice, deep breath and a warm smile to combat the cold rain.]
I don't know if I'd go that far, but a wet swim suit would be so much better than a wet dress!
no subject
[He waves a hand slightly over his head, indicating that yeah, a tall and reasonably broad guy like him is generally not subtle. But he hadn't taken the distraction of the rain and consequent soaking into account.]
no subject
[Aerith is quick to reassure, hands raising, palms out and a wide smile brightening her expression. She had to tip her head to look up at the stranger, tall, handsome, with a mouth that she thought would look good smiling. So how could she get that smile?]
I was in my own little world. But it's okay, they know me there.
[Her smile held a touch of teasing then, and she winked to show she was making a joke. Then her hands dropped to fold across her chest, gathering up what little warmth she had left and keeping it close. She turned her head to gaze out at the rain again and sighed.]
Do you think we'll be stuck here for long?
no subject
Well, that depends on what you call stuck. If not going out into that is stuck... it's pretty possible, don't you think?
[Hard rains don't always last that long, but this one looks amazingly promising, the way the sky keeps darkening despite the water pouring down from it.]
