>AFTER all of that, go with Romina and maybe the raint cape-wearers to the nearest tree outside and tie to tarp/ capes to the branches to make a makeshift roof and place down the remaing tarp/cover.
The crowd behind Erika looks like a cult; Erika herself looks like the sacrifice brought by Romina to quell the tears of angry old gods. The rain does a good job to quell the sound of whispers and chit-chat coming from the back, but it’s not enough, not enough to drown out Erika’s inner screams of agony. What started as a weird picnic ended up being a full blown school event; the nerds, the bullies, the retards, the bimbos, the football bois, the weird but gentle girls- Romina is as social as Erika is a-social. This translates, apparently, to Romina being friends with anyone.
Finally under the big school tree, already dead inside, Erika instructs the cape wearers to tie their capes to the branches and make a roof with as few holes as they can. The rest spray the sport mattresses all over the floor; these are already wet, but Erika also told them to bring some towels to clean them afterwards. Although no shortage of students fail to declare the plan ‘absolutely fucking stupid’, just like Erika did no less than twenty minutes ago, as soon as Antonio brings out the snacks and there is some contribution from the rest, everyone is quietly chewing down under the rain. The reality is that there is little talking; the other reality is that the unexpected aura of coziness hits even Erika. The rain gets even harder yet no one seems to mind, some even scream when the ride gets hard, while others dread that a thunder will strike; in time, both come to pass, and everyone gets on with their own things together.
It lasts a full hour.
