the sun in my disgrace [OPEN + MINGLE]
WHO: Raleigh Becket
WHERE: 6I village, Inn
WHEN: 21 August - mid morning
OPEN TO: All + Mingle
WARNINGS:Put on your Eclipse Glasses TBD
Raleigh had been on his way back from his normal morning routine of checking his traps and fishing for a while when he noticed the sun wasn't quite the way it normally looked - he'd caught a glance at the reflection and saw that the sun, normally perfectly round, was looking a little like a lemon that had gotten beaten up at the grocery store. Huh. An eclipse. He hasn't seen one since he was in Ranger training and he hadn't gotten a good look at that one because he hadn't been directly in the path of it (and, obviously, he'd been preoccupied).
This one, though, looks like it's just starting so Raleigh has time to go to the Inn and tell the people there that there's an eclipse starting and they should get something to try and look at it. He's not exactly sure of the science behind it but he remembers being a kid and making something with a box and earlier he'd done pretty well with the water. Maybe they can take pots outside with water and just look at the reflections? Might work. Maybe, too, one of the scientists has a better idea of how to get a look at the thing.
For his part, it's just something that's different from the norm. Raleigh hopes it's not a sign that the sun's going to start moving backward or staying up all month like it had a few months back and that it's just a perfectly normal, natural event. After earthquakes and people getting sick with some kind of crazy illness, it was good to just have something...mundane to focus on.

She watched Itiiti and smiled. She'd never had a pet, hadn't had the time for one. She didn't count the animals when she'd grown up because every animal seemed as though it had belonged to everyone on the island. "He looks well now though."

"Yes," Itiiti belonged to Moana in the sense that he had arrived at her front door but he often had the habit of wandering around on his own. Moana didn't stop him but like any other family member she'd worry if he didn't come home at night.
"If you need Itiiti's help you just need to ask him. He's good at finding eatable roots and mushrooms. I can't always go out with him and when he goes out by himself he eats everything he finds." He was slowly becoming a fat pig.
