rainbows and umbrellas: the meme

[aroyaldouche]

rainy days meme
it's raining. it's raining so hard that you're stuck inside, because you're just not even going to chance venturing out there when it's so cozy in here.

at least you have company, right?

WHAT HAPPENS:
1. → you comment with your character.
2. → roll a number from 1-9. this is the activity the two of you seem to be in the middle of doing or just compelled to do.
3. → tag people and be merry.

THE NUMBERS
1 → board games. what it says on the tin. monopoly, connect four, whathaveyou. you suddenly feel really competitive.
2 → hide and seek. basically. one of you is It. how good are you at getting back to base?
3 → watching a movie. or anything else that involves you, the other person, and getting cozy under a blanket. god it's so warm why would you ever leave.
4 → baking. please don't burn anything down.
5 → arts and crafts. scrapbooking. paper snowflakes/turkeys/whatever. popsicle stick houses. if you made it when you were little and at summer camp, you're suddenly really really excited about doing it again! if only this other guy would quit hogging the glue.
6 → oops went outside anyway. wow you rebel. puddle away.
7 → cozy snack time. soup?? cocoa????? CHIPS??
8 → stuck. in the rain. too bad.
9 → whatever the hell you want. rng just can't contain all this rainy day EXCITEMENT. the only requirement is rain. you can even fuck in the rain, but you'll probably get sick.

I don't know why people get so upset about a little water.

[he takes another bite of soup, and makes a point not to slurp.]

When can we go and visit Ireland?

[oftenandloudly]

Perhaps they do not like getting wet. [she smiles before he asks his question.]

After the election. I think perhaps it'd be a nice trip. I'd love for you to see it. Did you know that some of the Harry Potter movies were filmed there? And the Princess Bride.

[dogdreams]

[Harry Potter and the Princess Bride are both pretty high up on the list of Things Bran Likes.]

Really?

[more non-slurped soup.]

Can we see where you grew up?

[oftenandloudly]

[mama knows what her baby likes.]

Yes, both were filmed at the cliffs of Moher. And we can take a train there from Dublin. It's a long ride but I hope you like trains. [grin]

[dogdreams]

We can watch a movie on the train if it gets boring.

[he REALLY wants to go to Ireland now. he's never going to let this go. ever.]

[oftenandloudly]

Yes or read a book. [it's a mom thing.] I think you would like would it there very much.

[dogdreams]

Or that.

I want to move to Ireland. They have sledge hockey there, right? [Bran does not want to give up sledge hockey.]

[oftenandloudly]

Well, sweetheart, I'm not sure we can move there. And I'm not sure they have sledge hockey.

[dogdreams]

Oh. [he looks REALLY SAD.] Maybe we could live there in the off season.

[oftenandloudly]

If your father becomes the Vice President, we can't very well live in Ireland.

[dogdreams]

How much can we visit?

[oftenandloudly]

I suppose if you like it, we can do it a few times.

[dogdreams]

If dad doesn't win, will we move back to Alaska?

[oftenandloudly]

Would you like that? [She moves to pour him some more milk.]

[dogdreams]

[he pauses to consider this.]

I miss being home, but I like it here too. Except for the heat.

[oftenandloudly]

[she moves to brushing his hair out of his face.] Me too. I miss home. [the place changes people and for some reason... Alaska just feels safer.]

[dogdreams]

And I'd miss the snow if we didn't go back. Even if my wheels do get stuck. [he takes a long sip of milk.]

[oftenandloudly]

It snows here too. Sometimes. [she's trying to be positive.]

[dogdreams]

Not enough. Not really enough for sledding, even. [shh mom it's okay not to like something.]

[oftenandloudly]

[must. support. husband.] I hope it snows a lot so you can sled to your heart's content.

[dogdreams]

Or we could just visit home.

[there is no snow like Alaska snow.]

[oftenandloudly]

Perhaps we can. Perhaps I can take you and your sisters back home for a visit. [Though Sansa seemed to like it here much better.]

[dogdreams]

[that's because Sansa is wrong, ok.] I do miss my friends. [he's kind of having trouble making new ones at school, not that he'd tell Cat.]

[motherofwinter]

[always wrong.] I bet they miss you too, sweet heart. I will check with your father and then we'll go, how does that sound?[she suspects he's having trouble.]

[dogdreams]

[he nods eagerly and finishes the rest of his milk.] Can we fly on Air Force One?
