It had been raining for three straight days, which for Southern California was like the world ended. Kirsten was lucky enough not to live beneath any hills so she wasn't at risk of being buried alive in a mudslide. She was close enough to her office that the ignorance of California drivers in anything other than ideal driving conditions wasn't really a problem either. Being trapped in doors though was a bitch. Almost all of her activities for the week had been canceled either directly by the rain or simply by too many people deciding it wasn't worth going out.
So for three straight days she'd been restrained to the four walls of her home. She'd already caught up with all of her shows and finished off Final Fantasy XII by the middle of the second day. The unending boredom and isolation starting to become just maddening as the seemingly endless rain continued to drum out its steady beat on roof tops. Kirsten was starting to wonder if she should start collecting two of every animal when she wandered up to her room.
There was one thing that she'd discovered the last time she'd been rained in. A little activity that could only be done once a day a certain hour and it was almost time for it. Once she got to her room she leapt into the shower making certain to leave the blinds partially open and dimming the lights in her bedroom so her bathroom door would glow. She took a long hot shower that dragged all of the tension from her body. Then she walked out into her bed room with a just a towel wrapped around her body and sat on the edge of her bed for a moment she just sat there then she saw what she was looking for.
