    Once again, it was raining. However, the water droplets did not fall as hard as they had before. Instead, the rain pattered gently against the windows in a slight drizzle. Regardless of that fact, Scott was still hesitant to approach the glass to peer outside. He realized how immature he was acting, but storms and rain seemed to have an effect on him that even he couldn't comprehend. Upon becoming conscious that his eyes were growing watery, he rapidly blinked. There were no tears that needed to be shed. His ears flicked back against his skull as he observed the gray hue showing through the window. He didn't remain in the shadows, however, cowering in fear of whatever could become of the rain. Montgomery released a tremulous breath through his maw as he took a few minute steps toward the glass. The rain wouldn't somehow break through the window, that much he was completely aware of. Still, it set him on edge. Perhaps there had been an event in his childhood that he could not recall. He decided hastily that that was the reason behind his immense fear of rain and storms. Scotty needed to delve into his mind, to sift through his memories, especially those from his childhood. The mere thought of it left his mouth dry, and he had to lap at his lips to moisten them.


    The window was close, yet so far from where he stood. His shoulders were hunched, and his head was held low, eyes merely staring at the glass and the rain falling against it. The water droplets slid down the surface, eventually collecting more along with it. Occasionally, they split apart, unable to hold more water. Monty felt as though he was being torn apart. His thoughts were conflicting, and were becoming muddled the longer he focused on whether he would approach the window or not. The canine swallowed at the lump forming in his throat, honey visionaries hardening upon the window pane. Whatever courage that had been stored within him burst at the seams and allowed him to fully approach the window. Being so close to the rain, though not beneath it, left him feeling a bit...empowered. There was still much he needed to do before he fully conquered his fear, but for the time being, this was enough for him to feel slightly more at ease. His chest seemed to rise and fall at a quicker pace, and he could feel adrenaline coursing through his veins. Fear was settling within the pit of his stomach, but Mont chose to remain standing perfectly still. Watching the rain aided him somewhat, though the effects, he presumed, would be minimal. "Does anyone really like rain?" Scotty questioned aloud, tone sounding a bit idle and absentminded as he voiced his thoughts. Hopefully others would answer rather than having him speak to himself. "Personally not a fan myself."


  • [fancypost bgcolor=transparent; bordercolor=transparent; borderwidth: 500px][justify]"I like it," the French femme admitted in response, hoping the question wasn't rhetorical. Judging by his body language and tense stature, Lorraine had reason to believe that he didn't like it at all. His words confirmed her suspicions.Her eyes fell on the window, watching the deoplets of water stream down. Her eyes were calm, posture collected. "The sky is boring when it's clear- at least, that's what I think." Lorraine enjoyed the mood that rain set. The lighting was less harsh, everything seemed to shift together, and it was.. nice. Rainy weather was her favorite, and she had been on her way outside when she heard Montgomery speaking. She looked at the male once more, realizing that she never formally introduced herself. "My name is Lorraine. Yours?" After that question was asked and answered, she'd fall into peaceful silence, her eyes fixed on the window in front of them.

  • [fancypost bgcolor= transparent; border: 0px; text-align: justify]Rain. He wasn't a big fan of it, but it wasn't a phobia. A cloudy, grey sky was nice, and even a light drizzle was fine. But the occasional obnoxious storms that rolled through here? Count him out. "Nah," Jones countered with a light smile as he crept in after Lorraine, hoping that he wasn't intruding on Scott's privacy or anything. When the shower had started, his mind had immediately shifted to the Pinscher and Preston had hoped that his friend was at least inside this time. It seemed he was, and that fact earned a small sigh of relief -- it didn't matter what your fears were, no one should have to face 'em if they weren't ready. However, this time, Scott seemed to carry himself with slightly more confidence than the last time it had rained. Perhaps it was because he was not caught in the storm? Or maybe because the rain was not pouring with the ferocity it had been before? Jones didn't know, but he was happy for the other guy. "I mean, it's nice after a drought. But who really needs it, right?" He continued on, grin growing a bit wider as he situated himself a short distance away from the other two canines. "Howdy, Frenchy," Preston greeted cheerfully with a nod of his head in her direction. For a moment, he allowed the silence to drag out, absentmindedly staring at the rain droplets streaking down the glass. It was almost mesmerizing, but he didn't for a second think it would be enjoyable to frolic in. A fleeting memory of how heavy and soaked his pelt had been, how chilled he'd felt, and how worried he'd been about Scott flashed through his mind, but it dissipated as quickly as it had appeared. Blinking a few times, Jones focused back on his two clanmates in front of him.


    "What about the sunset?" Jones asked curiously, the question directed at Lorraine. Yeah, a plain ole' empty sky could get a little boring, but the sunsets -- man, they were beautiful. Anyway, he didn't want to interrupt Lorraine's attempted introduction anymore than he already had, so the Akita just left it at that and shifted his weight so that he was leaning against the wall, gaze briefly glancing up towards Scott.. just to make sure that he was really holding up okay.


    /yay 4 scott ;^)

    droplets of water soaked her white pelt, although the female didn't seem too bothered by them. growing up in russia, it'd be idiotic if she wasn't used to extreme temperatures, remembering how ferocious the conditions could be in such a country. the question that was hastily raised though drew her curiosity, and she turned towards him, mouth opening briefly in something close to surprise. she was relatively sure that the question was either rhetorical or wasn't directed at her. either way, who would expect the kitten to speak her mind? she didn't mind the rain, but she wasn't overly fond of it. it had this gloomy feeling to it. she preferred sunny days, on which she was free to be active and relatively happy. but although the discussion drew some thought from the feline, surely the question concerning the weather didn't need an answer from her? she didn't even know the speaker, so at the moment she didn't dare to address the male directly. especially when she wasn't sure that he'd spoken to her. she tried to keep herself as straight and elegant as possible, but her head was instinctively ducked slightly and her gaze mostly averted in a fashion that she was trying to make aloof in appearance. although two other darkclanners gave their opinions, she hung back, choosing to not raise her voice. especially when she was probably trespassing in someone's house.

It didn't really matter to him when the cold droplets of water slid down his pelt. He especially didn't mind when it followed his unwanted eating sessions. He never hated it like Sera, whose fire but her into opposition with the element. Now though, he abhorred the rain. It constantly phased through his body, rippling the surface and making him feel intensely uncomfortable. Blinking as some more rain went through his body, the ghostly wolf dove for the nearest building, wanting to get out of the damned rain. Phasing awkwardly through a window, the trainee stumbled into a conversation- quite literally. If no one moved, the ghost would accidentally phase through the ones closest to the window, Montgomery and Lorraine. "Ahh, sorry about that." Whirl would splutter as he righted himself, floating in the air.

Ruth would be heard before she was seen, but she peered around the corner and padded over to join the group soon after speaking. "But back on the farm, it was useful, I s'pose. We called it a blessin' back there, but now that we got no crops or nothin', there just ain't much purpose to it," she shrugged, "Unless you're playin' mudball."

    ah, they all seemed busy, he might as well leave while they messed around.

    Though his question hadn't been rhetorical, he hadn't expected someone to arrive so abruptly to answer his query. Therefore, he was startled when Lorraine's voice broke through the pattering of the rain on the window and the silence within the building. He couldn't help but twitch as a reaction to her response, though he soon recovered and composed himself to the best of his ability. The rain still affected him to an extent, but in comparison to being soaked whilst cowering in a corner, this was...tolerable. He twisted his head to glance over his shoulder at her, honey visionaries hardened. Eventually, he moved to pivot on his hind paws so that he could fully face her. The action also caused his anxiety to ebb away, seeing as how he was no longer peering at the darkened sky and the water droplets hitting the glass of the window. "When it's cloudy I guess it's aight, but not when it's rainin' or stormin'," Scott said with a nonchalant shrug of his shoulders, admitting the truth rather than blatantly declaring a dishonest statement.


    Her introduction caused him to grin in her direction, seeing as how they hadn't been properly or formally introduced to one another. "Ain't you a pretty one," he commented rather boldly, an undertone of a taunt in his voice. Montgomery did find her to be attractive, though he presumed Benjamin would benefit from her presence more than her to himself. His best friend needed to ease out of his comfort zone, as did he. The rain was pushing him to his limit, to the edge, but he realized that it was better for him. Scott didn't want to freeze and panic whenever a storm began. "Name's Scott, by the way. Pleased to meet ya, doll," he went on to introduce, absentmindedly shrugging his shoulders before glancing back at the window warily. For a moment, he doubted that the current precipitation would become any worse, but storms were unpredictable. Animals had no way of knowing or predicting the weather as humans could. If only they had the technology to assume the weather's forecast for the day or the next coming one. At least then Mont would be more at ease and better prepared for rain whenever it was meant to fall. Upon Jones' arrival, the canine grinned wider, especially when he too declared that the current weather was not particularly his favorite. "Glad to hear it, Jonesy," Scott announced in a rather confident tone, not at all addressing the fact that the other male had witnessed him in complete fear days before this one. When he began talking to Lorraine, he chose to remain unusually quiet. He was attentive to the question Preston had inquired of her, now expecting an answer to it. However, before she was able to respond, more came flooding into the room.


    There was a child near the back of the room, whom had yet to speak up and state her own opinion on the matter. Scott leaned a bit to the side so that he could better peer at her, lips parting. "Hey, kiddo," he saluted her with a growing grin, seeing as how it had faltered a bit before her arrival. A chill ran through his as Whirlingpaw accidentally phased through him. He went to stare at the apprentice before he released a brief chuckle. "No harm done, kid," Scott assured the more petite male, pointed ears flicking in his direction. Ruth's voice then broke through the fleeting silence, expressing her disapproval of the rain as well. The fact that most of those gathered weren't fond of the rain left him feeling a bit more at ease. He wasn't alone on the matter, even if their dislike was not as intense as his own. He gave a bob of his head in acknowledgement to her statement before his honey gaze moved to Hayseed, whom he also gave a tip of his head to.


  • [fancypost bgcolor=transparent; bordercolor=transparent; borderwidth: 500px][justify]Aint you a pretty one?


    Her face remained neutral save a small flash of surprise. That definitely wasn't something she expected, and she wasn't sure how to even respond. Did he even say what she thought he did, or did she misinterpret? Regardless, his boldness left her a little unsettled, but she remained polite and allowed the moment to pass, wondering if he had anything else to say that would shock her. Lorraine was glad to hear that all that was next from him was a simple introduction. "Nice to meet you, too, Scott," the coyote responded quietly. She wasn't too much of a fan of the 'doll' he added at the end, but she didn't feel the need to call him on it. Americans loved their nicknames, didn't they? Including Preston. Speaking of which...


    Her green eyes fell upon her friend as he addressed her. "Howdy, Jones." The word was comically unnatural coming from her. "Sunsets? Those can be lovely. I might like the rain more, though. Maybe I'm.. defective." she said with a light smirk, noticing that she seemed to be the only one that enjoyed it. It had been a while since she'd done that, actually- looked at the sunset. Her thoughts were interrupted as Whirl phased through her; at first she was mildly concerned, but once she heard the apology, she was again at ease. "Oh-- you're alright." All was forgiven.

    Like Whirlingpaw, Wilson did not care about the rain. It never hurt nor bothered him, and rain always helped the flowers grow.





    As it was, he'd just come in from the rain and was dripping slightly as he entered the room in which he heard multiple voices. "[color=grey]Why mind the weather at all? The weather does not mind you, nor does it change on anyone's say-so." It seemed pointless to worry or to fret about something he couldn't change.

  • [fancypost bgcolor= transparent; border: 0px; text-align: justify]Jones parted his jaws and was about to say something to Tenya when all of a sudden Whirlingpaw phased through Scott and Lorraine. Thank God he had missed him. "Gross," the Akita muttered, frowning slightly as he watched the odd exchange. It didn't seem intentional, but maybe he should have phased higher up on the wall. Better them than him, he supposed. Turning to Ruth, his frown flipped itself into the makings of a grin, "Now what in Sam Hill is mudball?" Jones asked, only half-expecting an answer. Was it like a snowball fight, except with mud? That sounded like a pain in the ass to get out of someone's fur. Maybe he'd prank someone with some nasty mud one day - Ha. Enter Hayseed, who remained silent as usual, and Jones turned to give him a nod of acknowledgment. Sometimes he wished the little guy could talk, he wanted to know what went on in the mind of a scarecrow. Did they have actual thoughts, or did they just think about scarin' the birds away? A quiet chuckle escaped from Preston at the thought of Hayseed only thinking about crows, but after a few seconds he realized it wasn't as humorous as he'd initially thought.


    His ears twitched when Scott called him Jonesy, and he squinted slightly. Had Lorraine told him to call him that? Probably not, it wasn't that hard to think of the nickname for one's self, but Jones had never taken much of a liking to it. He didn't hate it as much as he used to, but he hoped it didn't catch on. He'd let it slide, though. He raised a brow, the corners of his lips pulling up in a dorky grin. "No problem, Scotty," he responded. Jones didn't know how the Doberman felt about the nickname, but if he had to guess, he probably didn't mind it. It didn't sound half as dumb as 'Jonesy' did. Good one, Jones, you really showed him. He almost busted out laughing when Lorraine said the word howdy. "Stick to 'bonjour,'" he suggested. "Defective? Robots are defective, Lorraine, you're just weird." Jones was joking, of course, Lorraine was pretty down-to-earth, she just said funny things sometimes. As Wilson entered, his smile was wiped from his face and he stared at the feline for a few seconds, blinking slowly. He wasn't sure why, but the comment made him feel defensive. "So?" The canine countered. Some people just really didn't like the rain, why did Wilson care? "To each their own," Jones mumbled, his lip twitching slightly in agitation. He was sure that Wilson hadn't meant any harm by the comment, but Jones had sort of taken it in a 'shut up and quit complaining about it' type of way.

    [fancypost bgcolor=; borderwidth=0px; bordercolor=; width: 420px; margin-top: -6px;][justify][size=8]Well, wasn't this quite the assembly? All discussing the rain and introducing themselves to each other. Rain was fine, as long as the rain didn't include Bones getting wet. Especially now that he was a fox and had fur, he would have to wait for his entire body to dry when it got wet rather than just his hair. After joining Starfleet, he saw a lot less rain than he used to see. Probably due to the fact he was living in space 90% of the time.


    The field medic trotted over, sitting nearby and listening. He wouldn't offer his opinion- he didn't want to bother the others' lively conversations- but if asked, he would speak. Rain made you cold, which could incidentally give you a cold. Hypothermia, if it was cold enough. And with winter rolling around, that wasn't too far-fetched of an idea. Perhaps he and Ben should hold a 'winter health' session or something sometime.
