[INT. GAME DEVELOPMENT OFFICE – CARDSTOCK EVERYWHERE]

RYAN GEORGE (GAME DEVELOPER)
So you have a game for me?

RYAN GEORGE (EXECUTIVE)
Yes sir I do! It’s called Rain on Your Parade and it’s about a cardboard cloud that goes around ruining people’s day!

EXECUTIVE
Oh wow wow wow wow. So it’s like… evil weather?

DEVELOPER
Well, kinda! He’s a little scamp. He starts by raining on weddings and picnics, then he’s setting people on fire, electrocuting civilians, flooding offices, feeding sheep to bears—

EXECUTIVE
Oh, okay! So like… lighthearted fun! With just a dash of violent sociopathy?

THE JONKLER (kicking down the door, spinning a rainbow umbrella indoors)
“Feed the sheep to the bear,” they said. “It’s quirky,” they said.
Is he stupid?
Man.
Am I playing it again tonight?
Man.

HARLEY QUINN (eating popcorn)
It’s adorable and you can commit property damage with snow. It’s got layers, like lasagna and mental instability!

STORM (crossing arms)
I command hurricanes with grace and reverence.
You made a cloud that does Fortnite dances on burning office workers?

DEVELOPER
Yup! And the whole game is like a silly craft project came to life—paper cutout characters, googly eyes, silly hats—

MR. FREEZE (adjusting his collar)
Do the hats… make you more powerful?

DEVELOPER
No, but one of them is a traffic cone!

EXECUTIVE
That’s fun!

BANE (leaning forward ominously)
Ah yes. Nothing like whimsical destruction to warm the soul. I was molded by it.
Your cloud merely adopted the chaos.

THE JONKLER
The tone of this game is what happens when Reddit energy gets hit by lightning.
It’s like “Haha look a meme!” and then BOOM you’re in a canyon dodging lasers in a bullet-hell chase sequence.

IVY (visibly annoyed)
Wait—lasers? Isn’t this a kid’s game?

DEVELOPER
Kind of! Until you reach a boss fight where you have to dodge 80 motion-triggered death lasers in a narrow corridor while your nemesis laughs at you and one optional goal is to never get hit once.

EXECUTIVE
That sounds incredibly difficult.

DEVELOPER
Actually, it’s super easy, barely an inconvenience!

BANE
You lie with such confidence, I almost respect it.

THE JONKLER
One minute you're watering plants, the next you're in cardboard Cuphead meets Hotline Miami.
My cloud got hit 38 times and I blamed the game. And my friends. And society.

DEVELOPER
But the levels are all really different! There’s stealth missions, race courses, puzzles, parody levels—

EXECUTIVE
Oh, parody levels?

DEVELOPER
Yup! There's a Metal Gear Solid parody where you sneak in a box, and a full-on Counter-Strike de_dust2 map where you play as a bomb-defusing cloud!

THE JONKLER
You ever wanted to storm terrorist hideouts as weather?
Well now you can, you sick little drizzle gremlin.

STORM (glowering)
This game mocks my divine legacy.

HARLEY QUINN
Yeah, and I love that for you.

MR. FREEZE
What of the soundtrack?

DEVELOPER
It's… fine. It does music things.

EXECUTIVE
Okay and how’s the length?

DEVELOPER
Short! Like 5–6 hours. But dense with memes, chaos, and wholesome war crimes.

BANE
A brief, moist descent into madness.
A drizzle of doom, if you will.

THE JONKLER
And you can draw a face on your cloud!
I gave mine giant angry eyebrows and named him "Bruce Rain".

EXECUTIVE
So what’s the vibe of this game exactly?

DEVELOPER
Like if a child’s birthday clown had a weather machine and a TikTok account.

THE JONKLER
It’s like Untitled Goose Game, but instead of stealing sandwiches you’re summoning lightning from the heavens to disrupt workplace productivity.

EXECUTIVE
Well, sounds like a lot of strange, chaotic fun. Any final thoughts?

EVERYONE (TOGETHER, SHOUTING)
RAIN ON YOUR PARADE.
IS HE STUPID? YES.
IS IT FUN? ALSO YES.
GO FEED THE SHEEP TO THE BEAR, MAN.

Rain splatters the windows of the Akatsuki's hideout, deep within the perpetually soaked Village Hidden in Rain. Instead of world domination, the notorious shinobi are huddled around a glowing screen, absorbed in Rain on Your Parade, a game about cloud-based chaos.

Pain
SHINRA… TENSOAKS! Their digital picnic is mine! My “Soggy Sneaker” bonus is maxed out!

Hidan (fuming)
Jashin demands blood, not… umbrellas! Stealth storms are lame!

Sasori (deadpan)
Inefficient splash radius. Zero elegance.

Deidara (grinning)
Exploding puddles, un?! “Hydro-Bomb” mode is ART!

Itachi (muttering)
So much effort for so little actual suffering.

Kisame (grumbling)
Why not flood everything? Efficiency!

Kakuzu (counting yen)
Rain economy? Not lucrative enough.

Konan (to Pain)
“Thunderstorm of Terror” has better AoE coverage.

Tobi (off-key)
"Why does it always rain on meeeee?!"

Pain
Silence, Tobi! THE WORLD SHALL KNOW RAIN!

Suddenly, a portal rips open. Jinx tumbles in, dual launchers on her back.

Jinx
Whoa! Chaos club?! I knew I smelled explosions. What’s this? Weather warfare? I’m in!

Pain (curious)
Can you improve our “Slight Drizzle of Despair” level?

Jinx
Clouds that shoot rockets? Baby, I INVENTED that mode!

Deidara
UN! Tell me more about “Rocket Rain!”

Konan
Welcome, chaotic one.

Before another line can drop, the wall EXPLODES.

Mr. T strides in, rain sizzling off his gold chains.

Mr. T
I HEARD Y’ALL FOOLS TALKIN’ PAIN. BUT YOU AIN’T SEEN PAIN ‘TIL YOU’VE BEEN PITY-SLAMMED IN A MONSOON!

Pain (blinking)
...Another one?

Jinx
This is the best crossover ever!

Mr. T
Back in my day, games didn’t need cloud physics—we just punched the WEATHER.

Suddenly, a green blur tornadoes in—The Mask, twirling with cartoon sound effects.

The Mask
SSSSSSMOKIN’! I brought thunder, lightning, and a rubber ducky. Let’s make it rain... with STYLE!

Tobi
Do you do birthday parties?

The Mask
ONLY WRAITHDAYS, BABY!

Another warp rips open—Gaige from Borderlands slides in on a mech wheel.

Gaige
Cloud-based chaos?! Weaponized weather?! THIS IS MY JAM! Deathtrap loves lightning!

Deidara
I need to sculpt this moment.

Mr. Torgue EXPLODES in from above, screaming mid-air.

Mr. Torgue
DID SOMEONE SAY WEATHER-BASED DESTRUCTION?! RAIN THAT EXPLODES IS MY LOVE LANGUAGE!!

Kakuzu (squinting)
Is anyone here bounty-eligible?

Suddenly, the lights flicker. Time slows. A bullet spins through the portal. Ringo Roadagain steps through, followed by Blackmore, floating ominously, coat dripping.

Ringo
This game… speaks to my Stand. A storm… is a duel by other means.

Blackmore
Moisture is power. Rain on Your Parade understands… the drip.

Pain
Your power shall serve our cause.

Mr. Torgue
WHOA, FANCY COWBOYS?! I’M INTO IT.

The Mask (tipping hat)
I challenge y’all to a moist-off.

The screen lights up—eight-player chaos begins. Everyone grabs a controller or weapon.

Gaige
Let’s crank this storm into MECHNADO!

Tobi
"You had my heart inside your cloud..."

Jinx (air-guitaring a mop)
"And you played it—to the beat!"

Mr. T
DUFFY’S GOT MORE POWER THAN A JUTSU SCROLL!

Everyone (somewhat off-key)
"LET IT RAIN ON YOUR PARADE! I’LL MAKE IT RAIN, YEAH I’LL MAKE IT RAIN!"

Konan
Emotional resonance. Tactical precipitation.

Kisame
That chorus slaps harder than Samehada.

Sasori
...Even my puppet twitched.

Itachi
Excessive. But oddly… beautiful.

Jinx
I call dibs on designing “Meteor Shower of Mayhem!”

Mr. T
And I trademark our move: The Pity Pain Parade!

Deidara
UN! ART!

The Mask
Somebody stop us—oh wait, YOU CAN’T! Ssssssmokin’!

Pain (stepping into the storm, arms wide)
Let it be known. The world... shall know rain and pain!

---

Be the cloud, go wild and proud,
Crash the fun and soak the crowd.
Drench parades and ruin hair,
Drop a cow, they’ll stop and stare.
Exploding puddles? Yes, indeed!
Hydro-chaos is all you need.

Tears or rain? Who can say—
When you're the storm that spoils the day!
Bring the thunder, be absurd,
This cloud's got jokes, and no safe word.
Play it loud, play it proud—
Rain on Your Parade, and soak the crowd!
