During the rainy season, it can rain without ceasing for many bilunar perigees at a time. Alternian weather goes to extremes. With the blistering sunny period over, the lawnrings are slurping up the water; so is Karkat's Guardian, which is standing splay-legged in front of his hive like the world's ugliest water fountain, claws raised over his head
