[Mai's face appeared on screen looking...defeated. And wet. Quite wet. Hair plastered to her face, skin and hair thoroughly soaked. One might think to ask why she would willingly broadcast herself in such a state, except...as a means of introduction...she stared blankly into the camera before tilting it slightly upward.]
[Low-level grey clouds unleashing a personalized spring shower greeted the viewer.]
Does anybody know how to turn these off? [A slight shift in camera, and it returned to face level. Only suddenly much more even, as if she had placed the communicator down on a flat surface.] It's been over an hour.
[The reason for such an action is quite apparent as she reached off-screen then, reaching for a small umbrella, and opening it over her head. It seemed to work for all of three seconds, before the clouds above disappeared...only to reappear once more under the umbrella.]
[Shoulders slumping, Mai gave a heavy sigh. Completely unsurprised by the reveal, as if she'd been through it several times already.]
[Then, just before the camera shut off, she gave a loud sneeze.]

[
Who are you, Goku?]You can't eat a cloud.
no subject
[She could at least make an effort, gosh.]

[
It didn't help that in her world, clouds were sometimes sentient. Sort of.]I don't think it's a matter of attitude. It's simple physics. You can't hold a cloud. You can't contain it. Not in any matter that would allow you to eat it.
no subject
[No confidence in this girl. He'll do what he can to raise her weirdly non-cloud-eating spirits.]
AND IF THAT DOESN'T WORK, ARE YOU OR WERE YOU HOLDING A PARADE???
IF NOT, HAVE YOU TRIED ASKING NICELY FOR IT TO MAYBE NOT DO THAT???
no subject
Clouds tend to not see reason. It's going to keep raining whether I like it or not.
[There was a deliberate pause before she added, much more sheepishly:]
...besides...I already tried that.
no subject
PERHAPS, RAINED-UPON-PERSON, A DIFFERENT VIEW IS REQUIRED. MAYBE ASKING THIS PARTICULAR CLOUD NOT TO RAIN ON YOU IS LIKE ASKING THIS PARTICULAR PAPYRUS NOT TO BE REALLY, REALLY, COOL. IMPOSSIBLE!! INSTEAD, WHAT YOU SHOULD BE ASKING IS HOW YOU CAN INCORPORATE THIS UNALTERABLE FACT INTO YOUR LIFE??
FOR EXAMPLE, IF FACED WITH A SKELETON WHOSE COOLNESS IS UNENDING, YOU WOULD HAVE TO DEAL WITH THE FACTS, AND HANG OUT AND-SLASH-OR TALK TO HIM ON THE PHONE.
WITH THE CLOUD, YOU WOULD...WALK AROUND WILTED PLANTS??? SIT IN YOUR SINK AND DO THE DIRTY DISHES?? QUENCH YOUR THIRST??
[Just shooting off solid gold ideas, here.]
