MEME TIME WITH impuritas
the rain meme
Ah, rain—the precipitation that the whole world has a love/hate affair with it. 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
2. Roll a number between 1-5 with the RGN for an intensiy.
3. Roll 1-15 with the RGN for a situation.
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. (haha no)
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!

Honestly, she should have noticed the change in the air, the grey clouds rolling in... only a fool wouldn't expect it. And yet, now she stood begrudgingly (and wetly) in the idiot croner.
At least once she meets up with that airhead, she could take shelter. Maybe, just maybe, he would have the brains to have an umbrella.
...
Oh, who is she kidding, he would never think of that!
Finally, after what seems like minutes of brisk walking (because a lady doesn't run, no matter how soaked she might get), she makes it to their promised place. ]
no subject
...well, until recently.
The girl makes it just in time to see her not!friend... spin around? With his arms outstretched just a little?? He's still looking up at the sky and apparently hasn't noticed her arrival at all. Despite the inevitable splashy footsteps.]
no subject
(ha)her mood. ]I apologize for being late. [ Bringing her feet together and folding her hands, she bows deeply. It might not be necessary for a non-formal meeting between... comrades, but it is the right thing to do. Especially since he is, in a sense, technically a higher position than her.
When she rises, she notices his outstretched arms and stares. ]
...What are you doing? [ Is that a slightly judgemental tone? From her? Get outta town. ]
no subject
It takes until she speaks up, but he finally notices the person he was waiting for and turns in time to see her rise.
...that's a good question, actually.]
I do not know.
[...At least he's honest! Maybe it was something like dancing, though he's not really sure it would count. He lowers his arms and returns the gesture by lowering his head. Not nearly as deeply as she did, that wouldn't... be very appropriate, and he'd hate to be rude around her.]
no subject
I see...
[ She's silent for a moment, absorbing the quiet and peaceful (albeit awkward) atmosphere, before speaking up. ]
We should seek shelter before the weather worsens. Falling ill isn't advisable for either of us. [ If she became ill, questions would no doubt arise about how she spent her free time. ]
no subject
He was very obviously in the process of getting distracted by the rain again during that moment of silence. His attention snaps back to the girl when she speaks up, though.]
...I do not think we can get any more wet than we already are, even if it does.
[Getting sick isn't really an issue, either, since he has ways of dealing with that... but he'd rather not disagree out loud more than he already has. There's a bit more hesitance to his words than usual. She knows best, after all, or at least better than he does most of the time.]
no subject
It's not about getting more wet, it's about being wet and cold rather than dry and warm.
[ Just because certain people have ways of dealing with illness doesn't mean she does. Her curative powers only covers soil and plants, unlike the clod before her. ]
no subject
Personally, he's rather enjoying the rain as an unusual reprieve from the summer heat (as much as he loves this season, he isn't too strong towards extreme temperatures). He nods, though. If she wants to get out of it, that's what they'll do.]
Will you just go home for today, then?
[Probably a better idea than just standing under a tree or something, if she wants to dry off quickly...
As for the illness, he could probably do something about hers too... and make things worse for himself in the process oops but that hardly matters right??]
1/2
...Is what she would like to say, but it would hardly be appropriate. And embarrassing out loud. And awkward. ]
2/2
She technically could have ignored his message, but it would have been a major faux pas. And cruel in her book, like kicking a puppy. ]
no subject
[It's not like she'd have any particular reason to stick around if she's uncomfortable, right? He didn't call her out here on important business or anything. Might as well just turn around and go back.
Naturally, he doesn't quite manage to catch that over the rain, so he just gives her a questioning look as he brushes some wet hair out of his eyes.
...and by questioning look we mean something that would look 99% identical to a frown to any passerbys, buuut maybe the lady is better at reading him than those random people.]no subject
...
Don't answer that. ]
...You really are an idiot. [ After grumbling under her breath, she meets his questioning look with a weak glare. ]
So, shouldn't we get moving? You don't planning on blathering in the rain, right? [ If that's the case she might actually leave. Maybe. ]
no subject
...okay, we won't.]
I suppose so.
[...wait, why are they going together, again? ...Oh well.
He's not sure where they'd go, though. To those trees over there? Somewhere else?? Being a shut in hasn't left him with many regular hangouts.
He'll just... follow her. Yeah.]
no subject
Hm, they shouldn't go somewhere too public since she wanted to avoid any troubles of being seen together. But it couldn't be too far so that returning home would take long either...
...Oh, underneath that old stone bridge could do the job. Since a newer bridge was built a few years ago, only travelers following outdated maps would cross that old battered thing. The fact that it was still standing and in one piece despite zero efforts to preserve it was amazing. And since it hadn't rain in a while, the river would be low.
It was deserted, nearby and mostly importantly, seclude. In other words, the ideal place. ]
Come on, I know the perfect hiding spot where we can be dry off and wait for the rain to stop.
no subject
He nods, a bit stiffly.]
Alright. [...] Do not slip.
[...yes, he only just now thought of that.]
no subject
Anybody who thinks we're criminals should be punishedEr—who would ever mistake them for a pair of common lowlifes?! They are far above all that!Holding her head high, she leads the way to their destination. ]
Hmph, do not worry, a lady does not slip. [ Well that surely isn't tempting fate or anything. ] If there is anyone should be watching their step, it's you. [ That's tsundere for 'You too.' ]
It shouldn't take too long to get there, thankfully, just a few of minutes.
no subject
[Surely not. If she says they don't, then it would have to take some sort of freak accident involving earthquakes and black ice.
At first he follows after her, but then he speeds up briefly so he can start walking beside her instead. He's actually kind of curious about where they're headed. Is it a place he hasn't seen before? ...Probably.]
