[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!

Yeah, I'm fine. Just, wet. [ Really, really wet. ] It's really coming down out there.

[emmuree]

It is. I don't know when it will stop at this rate.

[...Awkward. What to say, what to say, what to say...]

...What you're holding. Did it get ruined?

[summit]

[ Talking with strangers isn't his forte. He gives a little smile, showing off a mouth full of braces and multi-colored elastics. ] Just, some comics. I think they're fine.

[emmuree]

[Luckily, or unluckily, for him, her talking to stranger skills are just as lacking. Seeing him smile, she manages something that looks more like a grimace, before giving up and just nodding.]

That's... good. No use buying them if they get ruined.

[Nailed it.] Your parents aren't nearby?

[summit]

Oh, no... My dad's at work. I just came, on my own. [ Hm... ] Maybe, it would be a good idea to get some dollar store umbrellas?

[emmuree]

[At work... She can barely hold back a grimace at that. If her own dad weren't at work, she'd be calling him to pick her up, self-sufficient adulthood be damned.

There's a pause before she speaks again.] ...There's one nearby. I can go there. [A shake of her head.] You shouldn't get wet.

[summit]

[ He shakes his head. ] It's okay, I can go. I mean, uh, I just will wait to see if it calms down before I go.

[emmuree]

It's no trouble. [...] But if you're sure, we can both wait.

[summit]

[ Smiling a little awkwardly. ] You don't have to stay stranded here too. I mean, I'm not stranded or anything. I just would really rather not have these ruined.

[emmuree]

[She tries to smile back. She really does. But the result is as much of a failure as the other time she tried. In the end, she settles for a shrug.] No, it's fine. I'd rather not get rained on anymore either. I can still wait until it lets up.
