Let me look that up for you! Today’s ConWorkShop theme is Things you’ve Googled this week. The Rireinukave of course use their own search engines (toraneko) to look up things in their own Worldnet (Mutivaka). But I recently looked up things to do with Chaturmasya, the Rains Retreat of the Indian Subcontinent on Earth. Monsoon is also a fact of life on Rireinu, so it is no wonder the Rireinukave ascetics have their own analogous Rains Retreat, the Koousane.

In Wet Season, mendicant nuns cease their wandering and stay in one place for three months. This is so they do not have to trample the uncounted small creatures that thrive and multiply in Wet Season. That would give them plenty of negative teñoho (karma).
