Roll says... 1: Find better shelter.
Something tells you that none of the food today will be worth scavenging for, even if it's covered with a lid. You better just bunker down and hope for the best.
Your tail accidentally rests in the puddle, which has gotten large enough to almost touch your toes. You'll bunker down elsewhere, then, you decide, as you jerk your tail around to get the droplets off.
When you look around, you can see that the backway behind the houses stops just before the street. The same amount of space as your location, except for two buildings, is relatively dry. You can stay under the roof until you get to the road.
A roar. Screeching sounds.
You flinch and cower at the most horribly loud noise in the world - like a crunch and a squeal pushed together - followed by more screeching. You can see cars halting clumsily in a line, their yellow eyes glowing. Twolegs are shouting.
You shiver, the cold and rain being the furthest thing from your mind. What on earth was that?
You cross over alleys until you can hear the commotion directly to your right. Picking your way around the trash cans and sticking under the houses, you peek out into the road.
Something blue, black, and grey smokes in the middle of the road. You can smell a myriad of foul things, one of them being blood. A twoleg is limping away from the strange mesh of color, supported by another of its kind. Others are clustered around the blue part, all shouting at once. You can see fresh, stark black marks on the cement road.
"They're always something, aren't they?"
You jump and look around. A cat is standing behind you.
She rolls her eyes at your expression. "Car crash. Happens all the time at the beginning of the raining seasons."
Who are you?
Why in the rain?
So that thing's a car?
Hello to you, too.
