Floyd and the Rubi Forest or Rubi Woods have been associated since the beginning for me. Key had a picture of Floyd and Barrett in his otherwise almost berift-of-objects second floor of his Rubi gallery at the time. He came to Rubi in July 2007, as I’ve found out. Must figure out how to get his variant, the actual pretend Key, to reinvest in the forest. A map, as Hucka D. reinforced to me — yes, that could be it, along with the same for Coke. Coke must not see the Rubi Forest as just Ordinary Glass.

Hucka D.:

Invite Hybuli to the next meeting. Isn’t that tonight?

bb:

Hybuli being the closest gallery owner when I opened the Power Tower Gowlery the other night, but then he deleted the kiosk as it moved across the internal sea of Heterocera. But for a moment, his was the closest. And of course I know him, especially through another.

Hybuli:

Hi, I thought I’d drop by before the meeting. How’s Chilbo doing?

Further notes (now that that interesting interruption is over!):

The grey snakelet Aspinwall is the same as the Great Linden Wall of Heterocera. An important clue: the first letters of the first three sims the wall passes through, top to bottom, form the acronym ASP (Athetis, Spini, Pyri). Then it enters Ziczac, already blog famous in Baker Blinker’s completed macro-opus. Mystery ship The Arab, passed down through The Wall beginning at Ziczac, creating The Point(of The Wall). It passed underneath the main part, through a passage which is not square but pointed. Then it reaches Rubi, Hucka D., to become SID’s 1st Oz. 26 in 1. The diagonal: Ziczac Zoe. Rubi Forest. Temple. SID’s Temple. The placement of the Edwardston Station Gallery in Rubi opens up Sylver as in Sylver Forest, the past. The Past. Later this manifested as Jeogeot, the Southern Continent.

—–

“How did The Arab pass through The Wall, Hucka D.?”

Hucka D.:

How does anything pass through anything? Luck.

bb:

Is this where Aspinwall changes to Colon?

—–

“Says here in this deleted script, Hucka D., that Aspinwall had changed to Colon by the time The Arab had reached Rubi.”

Hucka D.:

Have you ever seen a ship driven by trees? They’re all *over* the road.

bb:

Hmmm.

Hucka D.:

Have you?

bb:

Yes, maybe. Like the trees overhang the Robin Loop next to my new parcel.

Hucka D. (apparently speaking to someone else offstage):

Oh no you haven’t. There’s 3 there instead of 2. You overcharged me once more!

bb:

Who’s that, Hucka D.?

Hucka D.:

My agent. He’s booked 3 shows for me at once instead of the normal 2. I asked for 2. I ask for multitasking. But not 3.

bb:

Interesting. So… back to the Rubi Woods.

Hucka D.:

I think you should call Hybuli back and apologize to him. How’s he suppose to know about the positive carrcasses?

bb:

All’s I said is that I always had the suspicion that Giant Rat of Sumatra was FT’s greatest work, Hucka D., and he gave me back the usual rigamarole about FT themselves claiming Dwarf as their best. And then he named half a dozen more albums he thought were better than Rat.

Hucka D.:

The Foreign One let the Rat out of the Bag. You saw it once. In the woods. Remember?

bb:

Yes. The trap when I bought the Rubi land along the woods in 2010. Yes, that was obviously something psychic taking place. The thing in the woods knew I would buy the land there. And then Bill might have shown up last night.

Hucka D.:

Yes (!)

bb:

Did the Rat pilot The Arab[ down through The Wall and to Rubi]? It’s obviously quite queer that Hybuli shows up right when I buy the new land in Rubi. It must be the Rat again

Hucka D.:

What else did you say to Hybuli[ to offend him]?

bb:

We talked some about Zappa. We agreed that Lumpy Gravy may be his best work, because Hybuli had read the same stuff as I had about Zappa saying that very thing. So we agreed there.

Hucka D.:

Here’s his story…

—–

SWITCH TO HUCKA D.’s EARLIER CALL TO HYBULI:

“Hell yeah! Bacon… ummmm. Love it.”

Hucka D.:

Hi yourself Hybuli. Must you always answer… well, yeah, I guess you have to answer that way. Do you know Furry Carl?

Hybuli:

He’s here now. What a meeting[ of the Sylver Forest Council] he’s describing! Couldn’t sound more exciting.

Hucka D.:

Is that sarcasm?

Hybuli:

Yeah. He actually only offered me a summer beer. Like always.

Hucka D.:

Figured as such. Listen, baker b. — you know the guy that supposedly *organized* this thing… you know Baker don’t you?… course you do.

Hybuli:

Well, I know of *a* baker. And I know [another delete name].

Hucka D.:

But you and he talked about FT last night at the meeting.

Hybuli:

I was running late because I had to close up the gallery and move it across the sea and all. Bobby Darin, thank you.

Hucka D.:

Pulling a Bobby Darin. Nice.

Hybuli:

Thank you.

Hucka D.:

But it’s… .never mind. Good one.

Hybuli:

Thanks again.

Hucka D.:

So when you arrived I had left, and then Baker was still around. How about [delete name]? Tell me all the gossip.

Hybuli:

I don’t know that person. [another delete name] was with me but he stayed outside. Said something about he and baker had split from each other. Separated at the hip, he said, and laughed. Not sure what that means, but I think it has something to do with the Lion and Tiger of Oz. Wait… (checks script). That’s your line, sorry.

Hucka D.:

Just back it up a bit. Just end with the line you were suppose to end with. Ready… just begin again now.

Hybuli:

Now?

Hucka D.:

Yes, now. Go…

Hybuli:

Not sure *what* that means?

Hucka D.:

Nice emphasis. Ahem, yeah, I think *that* has *something* to do with the *Lion* and Tiger of *Oz*.

END FLASHBACK

Hucka D.:

So you see, he did it to me as well. Tried to double back on me. Trap me in a corner, like you were symbolically trapped by that Rat in Rubi. Ratti.

Music from “Booger Haze”
Options

‎05-26-2008 07:45 AM
I was just watching my 12 oz. Mouse DVDs (yeah, again) and I noticed that neither of the two piano songs from the episode “Booger Haze” were put in the special features. Does anyone know the titles and artists/composers were for those two songs?

For the record, these are the two songs that Spider plays inside his cave SPOILER! after he kidnaps Roostre SPOILER!

COUNCIL OF THE SYLVER FOREST MEETING

Members/Those Present:

Baker Bloch (Baker Blinker? Hucka Doobie?)
Keraz (“Key”)
Patsi Rubi (together: Rubi Key)
Cokoala (more of an outsider: from Rosieri)
Flynn (?)
Headburro? (to add mythological depth)
Blinkerton?

—–

Baker:

So we begin. Greetings to all variants present, and thanks for attending the first meeting of the Council of the Sylver Forest.

Keraz:

Call me Key.

Baker:

Thank you Keraz. I will. You were always a champion of the Rubi Forest. Now you know of the larger Sylver Forest in the past.

Karoz:

What is the relationship of the Sylver Forest to the Square Forest of Frank Park?

Baker:

Thank you Karoz. Didn’t see you back there behind Keraz.

Keraz/Key:

Actually I have to go to another meeting. Karoz can have my seat, then, so he can see better and you can see him better and hear him better. Thank you for inviting me, Baker.

Baker:

Um, no problem. No other remarks before you step out?

Keraz/Key:

Only: Good luck!

[Keraz/Key leaves the building. Where is the building?]

Cocoala:

Actually I must leave as well. Must get back to creating my houses. Nice gallery. I prefer landscapes.

Baker:

Yes, I like landscapes too. Sorry we never got around to creating that interview I promised, Cocoala.

Cocoala:

Call me Coke. Yeah, no big deal. Where’s the exit again?

[Baker points to the exit, and Cocoala/Coke exits through it]

Baker:

Hope she can find her way home through the Rubi Forest.

Patsi Rubi:

She doesn’t live there any more. Remember? It’s only you and me. Keraz is gone too. Key, I mean. And I’m…

Baker:

Leaving too?

Patsi Rubi:

I am ill.

Baker:

I remember that.

Patsi Rubi:

I am the forest more than anyone. I am the forest more than you[ for example].

Baker:

Could be. My main chunk of time here was still in 2008. Long time ago. So what happened to the ring of galleries you were going to build around the forest? The Forest?

Patsi Rubi:

Let’s see… Sylver broke me down.

Hucka Doobie:

What does that mean, Patsi?

Baker:

Hi Hucka D. [seeing Hucka’s head emerge from behind where Patsi is sitting]. You know everyone here, I assume. Everyone that’s left.

Hucka D. [ looking around]:

Hi Goodnight Violet [nods to Goodnight]. Hi Barbury Castle [nods to Barbury]. Hi [delete name].

Baker:

Yes, hi to you as well, [delete name]. But Hucka, all the rest you were nodding to were just empty seats.

Hucka D.:

*I* see them.

Baker:

Okay, I’ll just go along with that now. I wonder if you, [delete name], have any comments?

[delete name]:

Questions. What is the Korean Channel?

Baker:

It’s the central shaft of water at the Jeogeot continent, the largest landmass of Second Life as a whole. You know that, don’t you?

[delete name]:

Not really. Or I forgot.

Baker:

Do you want to say anything about the idea of the Sylver Forest?

Barbury Castle [suddenly appearing to Baker in a formerly empty seat]:

Do we get to walk The Diagonal?

Baker:

You *are* real. Well, sure we can do that.

Barbury Castle:

I want to disappear at the one hundred and twenty-five.

Hucka D.:

That’s one-eighth of a thousand to you, Baker. 1:8.

Patsi Rubi:

Yes The Diagonal is nice. I created it. I am taking over, Baker.

Baker:

Well, um…

[delete name]:

The Korean Channel is what?

Hucka D.:

Furry Carl! (Hucka D.’s eyes follow an imaginary person coming into the hall and sitting in another empty seat, an empty seat to Baker.)

Baker:

Does anyone else see Furry Carl besides Hucka D.?

(But then Baker *sees* Furry Carl, and *everyone else* has disappeared.)

Furry Carl:

Merry fucking summer have a beer!

POST MEETING NOTES

That was not a really successful meeting, Hucka D.

Hucka D.:

I enjoyed it. I thought it was great. Wonderful, even. What was wrong with it?

bb:

Well, most of the people left. A lot of the remaining people were *imaginary*.

Hucka D. (countering):

They *all* were imaginary. Are imaginary.

bb:

Delete name was there and not there at once.

Hucka D.:

On off, black white, Zebra.

bb:

The actual place of the meeting was not clarified, even to me.

Hucka D.:

You said it was a hall. The Hall.

bb:

I don’t have a hall. Not yet, I suppose you’re going to add…

Hucka D.:

Not *yet*. (smiles; pauses) So what else disappointed you?

bb:

Nothing got done (!)

Hucka D.:

You were thinking about a map.

bb:

A map of the Sylver Forest, thank you. I think I’ll prepare one for the next meeting. Invite Coke and Key back. Think they’ll like[ it].

Hucka D.:

Barbury Castle said he wanted to walk The Diagonal[ as well].

bb:

Okay we can do that. Don’t know really who that is but we can acommodate him.

Around Rubi

Baker Bloch revisiting the ins and outs of The Diagonal, discovered way back in 2008 during my first stay in the area. Still seems quite profound and has dated well. Here he stands once more at Rubi 097 097 097, a spot that seems, er, way overbooked or… overloaded… with importance. These numbers mean that Baker stands 97 meters up from the southern border of Rubi, 97 meters east of its western border, and 97 meters above the bottom of the virtual world (absolute zero), all at once. But Zarek’s roller coasters and gallery have long since been deleted from this area — the whole of Rubi has turned into a type of ghost sim, with no avatar activity present atall except for the occasional visitor to the woods, I’m guessing.

Snapshot107_013

The southwest corner of Rubi, which also represents the southwestern point of The Diagonal, where it terminates in this direction at the corners of Rubi, Sikkima, Rosieri, and Hector. Cocoala (aka Coke)’s land use to be straight in front of Baker here (in Rosieri), and has also been derezzed for quite some time now.

Snapshot107_014

But one thing about all those old Rubi mythology notes has come true in the intervening years, for a strand of the SLRR has indeed approached the Rubi Forest in the meantime. I assume this marks the lower edge of the pre-Linden Sylver Forest as well, and also the lower edge of New Pietmond, Sikkima, only more recently deleted by myself (Feb. 2013). New Pietmond’s energy has effectively been transferred to VWX Town less than 2 sims to the north (and on the opposite side of the Rubi Forest from it), with the Power Tower Gowlery and its Gilatona-Lis collages being the main difference maker in the meantime.

Snapshot107_017

A map of all present Heterocera continent galleries, according to the wonderful Sasun Steinbeck gallery database at least. I’ve reinforced the location of VWX Town and its Power Tower Gowlery with a pin.

Below we have Baker Bloch re-examining the 4th collage of the Jasper series in a supplemental gallery to the Power Tower Gowlery in VWX Town, still unnamed. He’s remembering the association made between it and the Cliffs of Dundee in Whitehead Crossing, or is doing so through me.

Snapshot108_001

In looking at other pictures in the same gallery, he’s also reminded that this collage, the 7th of the same series, comes partially from inworld pictures directly linked to Rubi’s The Diagonal. Interesting!

Snapshot108_004

Still just bumming around VWX Town this night, Baker Bloch then finds himself at that mystery knoll topped with a Linden eucalyptus tree coupled with a trojan warrior statue. He thinks back to The Diagonal, once more, and how one can disappear inside just such a tree in the Rubi Woods at location 125 125 098. He also understands that the center of the Rubi sim (128/128/098) lies just beyond the tree, and sees that the trojan warrior also seems to have freshly emerged from the eucalyptus tree on this knoll. Very curious and probably meaningful. Hafta think about that more.
