leave the world alone in the sky

Characters: Caprica and anyone in the Onsen who wants to come across her.
Date: Backdated to August 6th.
Summary: Taking shelter from the storm.
Warnings: Shouldn't be anything.

It isn't as if she has never seen a storm before. Once in a while, living in Caprica City, heavy rainstorms used to blow in off the ocean and the whole city would be drenched for days. The very first time it had happened, she'd gone out into the rain, let it soak her hair and skin and straight through her clothes, just to experience it. It'd left her shivering with chills afterward, but she hadn't cared; that was part of the experience, too.

This is a little different, but Caprica is still fascinated enough by it to stand by one of the windows of the Onsen and watch the wind toss the rain in heavy sheets across the landscape of the Gardens, droplets like thrown pebbles spattering the glass. Lightning flashes outside almost brightly enough to be blinding, and a few seconds later the accompanying thunderclap is forceful enough to rattle the window under her fingertips.

She's aware one shouldn't stand near windows during a storm like this one, but right at the moment that doesn't particularly deter her.
