Even though they lived in a desert, they knew well enough that it had to rain. June was when it rained the hardest. The little town in the desert was looking and feeling sort of gray with the puddles in the dirt roads. Everyone was staying inside. Some buckets were collecting water for the hotter days. Pluto was having an incredibly rare moment of thought. Lizard was asleep across the room. Big Brain was doing... Well, someone left him outside and he was having a turkeylike moment, staring into the sky with the rain falling in his mouth. Big Mama was inside her house looking after the small children. She was probably worrying about Goggle, who was up on the hills in the rain. Pluto figured he was up there also acting like a turkey. Knowing him, he was probably right. Ruby was with Big Mama. Lizard started to snore somewhere. Even through the storm, some mutants in the other houses could hear him. Pluto decided he had to do something about it, so he just flipped over the bed, with Lizard still in it. The rotting wood of the floor gave out with the sudden movement.
Hades' clan wasn't doing much better at all. Some parts of the mines had flooded, and to prevent minimal drownings, if that was even possible in the shallow amount, maybe I should say minimal suicides, all of them were crowded around the opening in odd ways. Rain made Hades go a little... Hoo- hah. He told Chameleon to stay stiff as a board. No matter what. Then he picked him up and threw him sideways on the ground. Chameleon was holding off killing him. Hades made him lay on his side in front of the opening to the mines. Then he told everyone to file back in. Chameleon started to sit up and object, but somebody gave him a swift kick to the head and told him to stay. I don't think that anyone really tried to reason with Hades. Last time they did on a rainy day like this, he started waving his arms around like an idiot, unintentionally hit some people, ripped someone's shirt off, and ran to the hills. Must be some kind of brain mutation.
After a while, Chameleon heard someone cussing loudly, even through the large amount of water in his ears and face. He was soon faced with the sight of Lizard running away, part of a headboard from his bed around his neck. Pluto was chasing him with some of the rest to adorn him with. All Chameleon really wanted to do was to find a way to wake up his arm.

Um, don't ask...
It's been raining a lot here, and it seems like that is how it is. People stay inside and sleep while I whack people and act like a turkey. I caught one of my neighbors laying in the middle of their backyard while asleep when it started to rain. The outcomes were.... Interesting. There was a lot of cussing when his wife woke him up.
