[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!

[There are no umbrellas to be had here, nope. Vaughn did not, unfortunately, manage to reach the mall without getting soaked and, while he's not exactly about to complain because of a little rain, it is... kind of uncomfortable.]

Who brought an umbrella?

[dyingtohealyou]

Not you, obviously.

[Ahahahaha poor bastard.]

[unimpressive]

[Wow, that's so not cool!

He sighs, shaking himself off slightly.] It didn't look like it was gonna rain.

[dyingtohealyou]

Guess I lucked out!

[Unlike you.]

Wanna put off the games until you dry off some?

[unimpressive]

[He shrugs.]

It's just some water! It'll dry anyway.

[And he'll be cold. And uncomfortable. But he can deal with it, right??]

Let's go.

[dyingtohealyou]

If you say so!

[And with that, he'll start walking.]

Anyway, what's up with you? I haven't seen you around too much lately.

[unimpressive]

[He follows after him, wringing out the ends of his shirt as he walks.]

Nothing! [He actually sounds somewhat regretful about that.] I'm starting college, I guess.

What've you been doing though? Anything exciting?

[dyingtohealyou]

More of the same. Just trying to squeeze as much as I can out of the last month of summer break.

[Hurray, high school. Although...]

There was this weird thing at one of the street fairs...

[unimpressive]

[He lets go of the ends of his shirt again, looking up curiously at Akito. This weird thing? Now, that sounds exactly like the kind of thing he wants to hear about.]

Really? What was it?! Which one?

[dyingtohealyou]

[Well, there was that odd little deja vu moment, but aside from that--]

Hmm, maybe funny would be a better word for it? There were some pre-tty interesting people down at little Tokyo's street fair. I think part of it was because of the costume shop that set up a booth there.

Either way, that's the first time I've ever seen someone seriously dress up in a robot suit complete with the glowing lights and everything.

[unimpressive]

[He doesn't know what you're talking about, Akito. That sounds plenty exciting to him. He laughs, crossing his arms as he does so.]

Glowing lights, too? Heh, sounds like someone got a convincing costume. You think all of the ones in that shop are like that?

[dyingtohealyou]

Who knows? That seems pretty high budget for a shop of that size, though. It's kinda suspect.

[unimpressive]

It's not one of those fancy stores then, huh? [Maybe paying that shop a visit could be interesting...] Sounds like something we should check out!

[dyingtohealyou]

I’ll try and look it up!

Although we might wanna save that trip for a different day...

[He ain’t looking for new stores when it’s storming outside, that’s for sure.]

[unimpressive]

[He isn't exactly against going out in a storm, but...]

Okay, okay. There probably wouldn't be much to see like this anyway, huh?

Let's go when it clears up.
