[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.]

Comments

[Video]---->Action!

[waitingforhope]

[With a wry smile, and touch of dry humor to her tone:]

What makes you think I'm miserable?

[Aside from the literal raincloud hovering over her head.]

Action!

[light_of_willpower]

[There's no reply other than a hint of smile and a 'really?' expression, before the feed is cut. Mostly because it won't be longer than a minute or so, before Mai is being joined in person. Calling her name first at least, so Mai won't be too shocked by Trunks' arrival hopefully. Back on the ground and quick steps to her, phone tucked into a pocket.]

Seriously Mai, if you wanted to go swimming you're dressed pretty poorly for it.

[Teasing and ignoring the rain cloud or that he's going to get soaked too moving closer to her. Passing her a small capsule while doing so.]

There's a raincoat in there and rain-hat. I can get you quick-dried, and keep you from being re-soaked too much. It's not perfect, but it'll hopefully help keep you from getting too soaked again, or sick.

[The damage might already have been done on that front, but they can try.]

Action!

[waitingforhope]

[It was her turn to offer a "really?" expression at the attempt at humor, maintaining eye contact even as she accepted the capsule.]

You're a lifesaver. Or life preserver, at this rate.

[Clicking the capsule, sure enough, the coat and hat soon appeared, which she made quick work of putting on. It did little to immediately dry any part of her, but it provided a small degree of shelter from the persistent downpour.]

Re: Action!

[Do you see the pleased humor in his eyes, Mai?]

That's only part 1. We do need to keep you from getting sick too, right? You're still soaking wet...

[Which is part of why he stepped close, besides passing her the capsule. Taking another step closer into her space, Trunks took her hands and summoned his ki. Not powering up or going for a transformation, but enough to cause a tangible aura. Around them both; hopefully evaporating the water from her.

Between getting her dry and the rain-coat and hat, it should hopefully make her roaming rain-cloud bearable.]
