[The crack of lightening.

The boom of thunder.

The scattered tap-tap of a first few cold raindrops turning into a chorus of sound, and then a cacophony.

Vision reduced to a few feet of moving, pounding sheets of grey.

The first breath of spring is drawing near, boys and girls.

But with it comes the rain.]

((Day in the life: thunderstorm

[out in the rain, no coat or umbrella or anything, soaked to the skin and looking...rather like he's enjoying it]

[Huddled and rushing, no umbrella or anything, but stopping when she sees you]

Serifar? What are you doing out here?

[clinging_ivy]

Hello, Piper! The rain's pretty, isn't it?

[iknow_skyfu]

Yeah, but I prefer to watch it, not be soaked by it.

[clinging_ivy]

[has to think about this for a second]

You don't like being wet? Or is it the cold?

[iknow_skyfu]

Well, wet clothes get uncomfortable after awhile, and I don't have that many extra outfits or whatever with me, so since I'm soaked, I'm going to have to find something else to change into until I'm dry. But be cold isn't that great, either.

[clinging_ivy]

But going inside by a fire would dry you off pretty fast, wouldn't it?

[iknow_skyfu]

Well, I guess, but I don't know where any fires are.

[clinging_ivy]

You don't have a fire in your cabin? We always have at least one in our house. Stiaan and Mikah and I don't mind the cold at all, and Stiaan and Mikah could just make the water go away, but it's more comfortable for everyone else if there's a fire.

[iknow_skyfu]

I live on the Condor. I think it would be a bad idea to have an open flame in there.

[clinging_ivy]

That's your ship, right?

[iknow_skyfu]

Right.

[clinging_ivy]

And you can't have a fire on it? Why not?

[iknow_skyfu]

We don't have a designated area for a fire to happen, so there isn't the proper ventilation and it could probably get out of hand really quickly.

[clinging_ivy]

Oh.

...What do you do when you need to keep warm?

[iknow_skyfu]

Well, when we're up and running, the heating system works, but we don't have enough crystals to power the engine or create warmth, so that's really a setback. At this point? Blankets.
