[Rain is NOT her friend. In fact, she hates it with a passion. Not that it really matters because hating something isn't going to make it go away.]

Has anyone else had to deal with the change in their moods with the way this weather is going? I want to go out and run, but this weather isn't going to allow that. I miss the sunlight. If and when this stops I definitely won't miss looking like a drowned rat, that's for sure.

Also, we'll have to see what this has done to the places around us. Maybe see about helping each other get stuff situated. For me it's just a matter of needing something to do.

[He hasn't enjoyed the rain either. He enjoyed the small person crashing into the room he was in even less, but that's another story. For someone who lived most of his life in a desert one might think a little rain would be a godsend, but Jet is far too used to whatever falls from the sky being poison.

Given the sheer volume of it, this hadn't been much better.]

looking to get something organized?
can count me in if you need extra hands.

[Only reason Evangeline even hates the rain is because it messes with her abilities. Her husband hated it probably more than she did even.]

I just figure with all the destruction this rain has done, people might need help. So maybe we should see who needs help and who doesn't, go from there.

Otherwise, I'm going to go stir crazy in this house.

easy to feel penned in here.
used to being able to drive for miles in a straight line and still not get anywhere.

That it definitely is.

Where could you go where you could drive for miles and not get anywhere?

place called the zones.
california desert.

I've never heard of it. Could you really not get anywhere?

just to more desert.
wasnt anything outside the zones. thats what they told us. no one ever got far enough to come back and say it wasnt true.

That's pretty messed up, I'm sorry. At least here it's not all desert?

deserts not the worst part.
heres not so bad though. dont mind the rain here. maybe less of it.

You can run inside the house.

[ win/win for him. ]

I am not running inside our home, Aric.

It is safer.

It might be safer but I'm not running around in our home.

Why must you be so difficult?

Why must you be so stubborn and over protective?

I'm old.

Being old doesn't explain why you're so damn stubborn and overprotective.

I believe that it does.

I believe it doesn't. Not the overbearing part anyway.

I am only so because it is necessary.

It's not necessary to be this overbearing, Aric. Nothing calls for that.

You're careless.

I am not being careless. What have I been careless about since being here?

You have been going out into the rain before this as well. It is dangerous, we are surrounded by water, Evangeline.

I know what we're surrounded by, Aric. However, I'm not going to stay cooped up. If you'd do what I asked then perhaps we wouldn't have to worry about what this does to me.

What you asked?

Yes, what I asked. Training me to protect myself.

[Nothing to do with her abilities.]

So you can be even more reckless while thinking you can protect yourself from anything?

I'm with you. Being out in the rain is nice sometimes, but that's when it's warm. This is a little much. I really hope we haven't entered the rainy season or this might be the new normal.

For me it's more that it just bothers me in general. I don't have an aversion to it, but this is ridiculous. How have you been?

Kinda drippy. I know the best thing to do is stay inside, but I get cabin fever fast.

Trust me, I understand the cabin fever. My husband is trying to convince me to stay inside. I don't like this rain but I can't just sit around, you know.

Absolutely. Try telling him the two of you can go scavenging for an extra-large umbrella as a couples bonding activity.

I'm not sure that he'd go for that. Then again, with Aric there's really no telling. He'd rather just keep me cooped up and away from the cold rain.

Overprotective type, huh?

Overprotective and overbearing. Is your husband here?

Uh-huh. Nathan Drake. He can get pretty protective sometimes, but he also knows I can out-stubborn him if it's unnecessary.

Out-stubborning Aric is like pulling teeth. It's a pain in the ass.

The alternate option is not telling him and doing what I want to do anyway, but dishonesty doesn't really lead to good things in the end.

Last thing I need is for my husband to be overly annoyed and trying to stop me anyway. Besides, I wouldn't want to do that to him.

I guess it might not be worth the argument when it's about whether to go out in the rain or not. If it's not too presumptuous to say, though, I hope you decide for yourself when it's about other things.

I don't let Aric make my decisions for me if that's what you're afraid of. The rain, however, he's just wary of and for good reason.

A reason besides getting wet and gross?

Yes, a reason besides getting wet and gross. Something that I'd tell in person but not over the network.

Fair enough. There's something to be said for maintaining some kind of privacy here.

If we don't then what are we really doing? Or something to that effect anyway.

I suppose we're not that different from the typical small town where everyone knows most of everyone else's business. This small town just has gods and magic and killer robots sometimes.

head zaps through all kinds of shit all the time
dont need no weather to do it
guess no suns been makin it worse tho
aint right
