There had come a point approximately three days ago when Robb had legitimately begun to wonder whether the rain was ever going to cease. Never in all of his life had he ever even heard of such rain, from dawn to dusk and all through the night, an unending torrent that kept the skies murky gray and made the days smudge disconcertingly into one another.

When he'd woken today, something had felt off -- Just a bit to the left of where it ought to be. It had taken several drowsy minutes of laying in his bed, listening to the earnest warbles of the early birds to realize that the strangeness was that the rain had stopped. He'd almost not believed it, had felt certain he'd step outside and find the shower was simply lighter than before, but there was nothing but an early-morning mist rambling across the lawn and the first soft rays of sunlight smearing over the broken clouds.

And gods, it was practically blissful to step down onto the front walk and stay dry. It didn't even bother him that there was now so much to do, so much time to be made up as hastily as possible. The serendipitous feeling wouldn't hold, he understood that well enough, but he might as well throw himself into what needed to be done while it lasted. Winter was coming.

He'd still not grown relaxed enough to work without a shirt on, but he was down to his sleeveless undershirt today, the white long ago turned to gray and now streaked with dirt as he applied himself to working amongst the beans in the humid mud of the field. It was early yet, but he had a feeling that the small group of them out there would quickly grow once the sun was properly up.

WHO: Kate Kelly
WHERE: The woods
WHEN: 9th October, morning
OPEN TO: Margaery Tyrell + Everyone
WARNINGS: TBA
STATUS: Ongoing



It has been nearly a week and a half of rain. The torrential downpour, seemingly something unheard of south of the tropics, had lessened, but only to a different kind of rain. Not as hard, not as heavy, but mostly steady and always there. While Kate has been interested to see how far what stores she's made last and what the taste is like, she's running low and has no wish to see everything gone.

The noises of the Inn are also driving her to distracted, so many people. As if the many rooms of the place are just a trick to lull her into nearly having privacy and quiet before something starts up again. Add to that her kitten, her new chickens, and trying to keep them separated.

Kate needs to get out.

Fortunately, Miss Margaery's been feeling similar. So when the rain seemed to fade into a drizzle, the two young women had dressed in their coats and taken baskets and bags, and left the town before anyone could protest too much. All Kate said was to Miss Riza, telling her that she and Miss Margaery expected to be back well before lunchtime. They'd head directly west, because that area hasn't been too heavily foraged as yet.

(Really, Kate had wanted to head over the river and away, but she's not an idiot: she's not risking that bridge in this weather.)

They'd walked, but most of their talk was quiet, brief. They'd gathered from one area, moved along to the next. The rain has come back, but they ignore it. It is only when Kate is thinking they should return that she suddenly straightens. She turns. She looks. She frowns.

She'd been paying attention. She's been running through bush and scrub since she could walk, and she'd been paying attention. But...

"Which way did we come from?"

WHO: Jess Brightwell and everyone!
WHERE: The inn.
WHEN: Sept. 28th to Oct. 11th.
OPEN TO: Everyone who lives at or would visit the inn during the non-stop rain. If you don't feel like making a log for the inn but want a place to tag around, this is the mingle post for you!
WARNINGS: Will update if necessary.
STATUS: Open. Mingle away, comrades.




There's nothing quite like the sky opening up and releasing a torrential downpour to bring people together. With water coming down in buckets and the streets turning into waterways, it would be wise to seek shelter until this lets up...

If it ever lets up.

For those needing a place to warm up, the inn has a roaring fire and hot tea waiting. Pass the time watching the rain at the window, or telling stories around the main room's fireplace, or enjoying friendly company in the pub. You're even welcome to stay the night in one of the inn's spare rooms, just don't mind the leaks. It's an old building. Luckily there are plenty of buckets to go around.
