( ooc prompt: a light rainstorm, a time for thoughts, indoor fun, and rainy day activities )
Aurum had never really been a fan of rainy days, mainly because of the frequency of them within Tanglewood. Living within a swamp, it was only natural that you'd get quite a few rainy days, but usually they were muggy, and humid, and very unpleasant in general. So, when he woke up to see some rather dark clouds hanging over Elysium that day, he had been more than a little disappointed. Still, he wasn't about to let a bit of rain spoil his entire day, nor was he going to let it ruin anyone else's. Options for what to do while mostly stuck inside were a little bit limited, but he had some things that he was fairly sure they could do, even if some of them were a bit childish. The lion, after a little bit of breakfast and a quick cat nap to enjoy the cool, dewy breeze, had gotten to work collecting supplies from around his small house, including various arts and crafts tools, and plenty of movies to play on one of the old projectors he had found in the library. Most of it was rather low effort activities, but considering what Elysium was used to dealing with on a near monthly basis? He didn't really think anyone would mind some relaxation.
Once he was done preparing, he set most of the supplies aside, making himself a little sign to put outside out of what he had collected. As the rain began to pick up outside, he put a tea kettle on the very old gas oven within his home, smiling faintly as he thought of all the times Delilah had been nice enough to make tea for him. The entire situation, although not ideal, seemed very simple, and childish, and... comforting, in a way. He found himself chuckling a little as he grabbed the sign he had made, pushing open his front door with his head. Keeping the door propped open, he placed the small sign under the lip of the door where it wouldn't get wet, but would still be seen. It read, simply, "Tea, sandwiches, and rainy day activities inside. Come in if you'd like to enjoy a casual rainy day off – Aurum." As soon as the sign was set up, Aurum turned and disappeared back inside, moving into the kitchen to put the last touches on the small sandwiches he had made for everyone. He could only hope people would actually show up, so that the tea and sandwiches wouldn't go to waste.
