 [ When the feed clicks on.. Curtis is soaked.  He looks pretty pissed about it, too, as his eyes focus to the dark cloud above him. Rain continues to fall down on him as his glare hardens. Some people were going to find this so funny; he probably should have chosen audio. ]

I don't know what the fuck it is, but if anyone can tell me how to make it stop I'd appreciate it.  [ And he continues to stare up, almost hopefully, before shaking his head and running his hand down his face.

His wet hand. Down his wet face.

It isn't as productive as he'd hoped it would be. ]

I wanted to ask about jobs in this place.  Is there a bar or... anything.. that's hiring?

[ It's  d i s t r a c t i n g. ]

[[ ooc; find a rainbow event! ]]

Comments

action; /in awe. you're so skilled!

[awkwards]

There's a fucking cloud over your head.

[ the desire to laugh is ... just not there. how the fuck is this real? ]

Why aren't you outside? That's where clouds belong.

[ you know, why are you in her bathroom, dripping everywhere? ]

action; /dances for you

[mrbackwards]

Really?

[ It's clearly her fault for dubbing him 'dark cloud'. ]

Because it's fucking cold when you're outside and you're wet and-- !

[ Fuck words, fuck this event, fuck everything. Alisha, you're getting a middle finger. ]

action; /laughs at you.

[awkwards]

[ she throws a towel at him, which is counterproductive, but he can use that one to dry off when this is all over. she places the other towels down and slides one near the edge of the bathtub, under his leg so he can drip, drip, drip onto that. ]

Did you wake up like this?

action; /dances on you.

[mrbackwards]

[ He looks at the towel she just threw, then back to her, then back to the towel. Alisha, you are wasting towels on top of sandwiches you environment-killer. But he just sighs and wipes down his face while he can. He lifts his leg for her, too. ]

With the cloud?

action; /cries

[awkwards]

[ she rolls her eyes. ] Yes!

[ is she going to have to wipe up his room, too? she doesn't want him slipping. she picks up a towel and hands it to him. great, her arm is wet. it's a bit hopeless, but it's the thought that counts? ]

action; /pets

[mrbackwards]

Yes! I woke up with a fucking cloud and it turns... into... a fucking rainbow.

[ Did he just say that out loud? Whooops. But he sits up and awkwardly in the tub that is now his bed. ]

action; /turns into a rainbow

[awkwards]

What?

[ oh god, should she laugh? she's stuck between gaping and wanting to laugh. ]

action; /slides down you

[mrbackwards]

When I'm not mad, it.. stops raining and it turns into a fucking rainbow.

[ He's kind of twirling his finger up at the cloud in a very masculine way. Do not laugh. ]

action; no pot of gold for you!

[awkwards]

[ alisha is just staring. she doesn't think he's capable of a rainbow, really. ] Stop being mad. I want to see this rainbow.

action; CRYING

[mrbackwards]

Well-- stop making making me mad!

[ Because he's holding a wet towel over his head for shelter. ]

action; HUGGING

[awkwards]

[ she rolls her eyes. ] What else are you going to blame on me? Jesus, I bring you a towel and you have a go at me.

[ ... talk about ungrateful. ]

action; CLINGS TO

[mrbackwards]

[ .... ]

Thanks.

action; PEELS OFF

[awkwards]

[ she glances at the cloud. ] Are you still mad?

action; GRaBBY HANDS

[mrbackwards]

Is there still a cloud over my head?

[ Even though it's not raining anymore. ]

action; SUPERGLUES.

[awkwards]

As dark as ever. Are you even capable of not being mad?

action; IS OKAY WITH THIS

[mrbackwards]

I saw the rainbow, didn't I?

[ Wow that sounds really really gay. ]

action; NO DARK CLOUDS ANYMORE!

[awkwards]

[ you need some happiness, mate. ]

Dunno. You could be making it up!

action; YOURE ALMOST THERE

[mrbackwards]

[ Make me happy ;; ]

It was a fucking halo.

action; SO CLOSE!!!

[awkwards]

Let me see it, then.

[ her arms are crossed, bro. she means business. ]

action; CLOSE DOESNT COUNT

[mrbackwards]

Make me laugh.

[ He says this like it's easy to do. ]

action; /FALLS

[awkwards]

[ she cocks a brow. ]

What?

[ alisha doesn't feel very funny ... ]

action; /CATCHES

[mrbackwards]

Can only see the rainbow when my thoughts are happy. So you have to make me laugh.

[ He is so serious. ]

action; /TWIRLS

[awkwards]

So laughing is the only way you can be happy? What about all those other times you've smiled? You were dark and twisty even then?

[ your seriousness is dumb. ]

action; /THROWS GLITTER AT

[mrbackwards]

If you can get me to smile 'bout something, you can see my rainbow.

[ And he's seriously biting back his smile because this is such a dumb conversation. ]

action; /SPARKLES

[awkwards]

Well, that's near impossible.

[ she thinks. she really wants to see this fucking rainbow! ]

You think there's a pot of gold at the end of it?
