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.

Where would we even go? My car doesn't pick me up until 3.

[dogdreams]

You can walk, can't you? There's a bus stop a block away.

[Bran thinks of the bus as a weird social observation exercise.]

[mothersbeauty]

[ hrrrrngh. ]

My mother doesn't like me taking the bus.

[dogdreams]

You won't get a disease.

[probably.]

[mothersbeauty]

We could get kidnapped.

[ ...or a disease. Though from what she understands, viruses are more common on public transportation than outright diseases. ]

[dogdreams]

Nobody would know who we are.

[besides, who would even look for them just wandering the city?]

[mothersbeauty]

We'd get in trouble with our parents.

[ You don't think it'd look weird if two kids elementary/middle school age wonder around aimlessly without an adult? ]

[dogdreams]

[he shrugs.]

Only if they find out?

[he is so losing this battle.]

[mothersbeauty]

The school would call our moms.

[ a lannister always wins childish fights. ]

[dogdreams]

[ssssiiigh.]

Fine.

...What are you doing on Saturday.

wait i changed my mind

[mothersbeauty]

I have piano lessons. But only in the morning.

[ shyly ]

Why?

[dogdreams]

[he shrugs SO CASUALLY]

We could do something. Play video games, or...

[shit what does Myrcella like. He tries to think of stuff Sansa likes, but at the moment that's tragic opera and Twilight, and those are both really boring.]

...Something.

[mothersbeauty]

[ Sorry, bro. She's even below Sansa - Myrcella is still at the point where playing dolls is fun. ]

[ Her nose wrinkles. ]

Joffrey says I'm really bad at video games...

[dogdreams]

You'll never get good if you don't play. And Joffrey is an idiot, you shouldn't listen to him.

[mothersbeauty]

He's my big brother.

[ But...she's not denying that. It's just the sisterly thing to do, defend him, and she's a good sister. ]

What kind of video games?

[dogdreams]

He's a jerk.

[he shrugs again.]

Mostly shooting games. But I could teach you to play Portal, maybe. If you promise not to get scared.

[mothersbeauty]

Portal? That doesn't look scary. [ But then again she only ever watched to the first level. ]

...Does it get scary?

[dogdreams]

Sometimes robots shoot at you. And the main robot lady isn't very nice. But you always come back when you die, and you get as much time as you want to do the puzzles.

[mothersbeauty]

I like puzzles.

[ It looks as if she'll say something more, but the bell rings then - the one that signals passing period is over and that they better get their butts to class. ]

Oh - um, okay, I'll ask my father about Saturday. And we can play cards tomorrow, okay?

[dogdreams]

Okay. Outside, right?

[he backs up a little, getting ready to turn around and race to class. He can always say he got stuck in the elevator on the way.]

[mothersbeauty]

If it's not raining, yeah.

[ She's backing up, too, and the flood of students in the hallways has begun to deplete. ]

Bye, Bran.

[dogdreams]

I'll see you later.

[he gives a little wave, and sets off down the hall much faster than a small boy in a wheelchair should probably be going with other people around.]
