[test] THIS WEATHER IS RIDICULOUS

[espigeonage]

Random scenario test drive meme. Some prompts:
> Ah god it's so hot and muggy how awful!
> The worst thing about summer cold snaps: you don't usually have your windbreaker handy because it's been so damn hot.
> The wind is perverse and trying to steal your things and/or crash stuff into you.
> It's raining wet vermy-things, as if the hail and possible storm wasn't bad enough. Now you have rain-echoes to deal with, at best.
> A nice day? I guess those exist?

So where are you?
> Caught way out in the open! At the beach, in the steet, at a fair, anywhere.
> Taking shelter! Bus stop, club you wouldn't normally frequent, bridge underpass, any port in a storm, any shade from the deathsun.
> In the mall or somewhere comfortably out of the elements, you lucky sunuvanek.
> Somewhere... else? idk, do what you want!

Have at thee!

[Roy might have met the same fate, had his mother not insisted on him taking an umbrella before he left home that day. Truth be told, at the time of his departure it was indeed looking cloudy, but as he wasn't going very far (only to a friend's house, really), the idea of carrying an umbrella did not cross his mind.

Mother knows best, as it turned out.

Passing by the bus stop, he almost doesn't pay Travis any mind until he hears him bemoaning his fate. It's enough to cause him to glance over and...well, Roy can't say he knows this guy, but the sight is so pitiable it makes him stop in his tracks.]

...Do you need help?

[summit]

[ he has a -10 luck stat. if he brought an umbrella, it would have been a heatwave. or a flood. depending on how much dramatic irony is in the world. ]

No, uh, I'm fine. I just wasn't prepared, for the sudden shower. [ Man, he should have bugged them for baggies. Why would you pack comics in a paper bag anyway? ]

[aetos]

[His life is truly suffering. Roy nods in sympathy.]

I was just lucky. [He points at the bag Travis is holding with his other hand.]

But that looks important.

[summit]

It's nothing rare, it's just some latest issues. [ ... and one variant cover. sigh. ] I'm Travis, by the way.

[aetos]

Issues of? [He can't say he's terribly well-versed in comics or magazines. Or anything else that involves monthly issues. The umbrella shifts slightly in his hand.]

It's Roy.

[summit]

Some of the comics, I read. [ This really sucks. ]

[aetos]

I see. [Wow, he feels awkward. Is he really this bad at talking to people?

Luckily, his thoughts are interrupted by a loud clap of thunder. Ah. Right.]

This rain may not let up for a while.

I could...walk you to a store for umbrellas if you want. It's just on the way.
