It's a strange day. It starts as insane lightning storms in the cool of dawn, still dark, past the hills of Chnum and out into the farmlands. Unseen by most save for those that are always watching, a man stands as lightning strikes him repeatedly -- or from him. He disappears, after a while, riding the lightning up into the foggy grey sky above him.
A dreary day continues charming, before the first rumbles of real weather begin to brew above the city proper. Thunder cracks, felt like a shiver through the air, clouds thick and ugly grey, throwing Brock Marsh into shade, and some surrounding areas. The heavens open to torrential rain so suddenly that people might suddenly be running for dry cover, water striking silver off of the backs of horses, rooftops, collecting deep puddles at any suggestion of an incline on the roads. At least it's just water.
Except it isn't. Under the influence of the rain, which moves through the city vaguely north beneath driving winds, those caught in its wet experience something strange. When they had no powers before, they suddenly have something new -- everything they touch changes colours, for example, or perhaps they can fly when they hum a tune, or they can turn shoes into marshmallow and snails. Other examples might be super strength, turning invisible, telekinesis, but many of them range for the truly odd. In other cases, those with powers already may find them replaced or added to with the above, or their power has been manipulated in some way, or perhaps they are rendered without any power at all. It lasts for anywhere from an hour to a day, before things revert to normal.
The storm itself lasts for a few hours before finally letting up in Dryside. A rainbow shines in the high afternoon sky, before it too disappears.
