Rubi Diagonal (Extended) 03

Entrance to an empty and frosty shack at Miata 019 019 038, owned by Tomato McCallen, a name suggestive of “tomato can” (by the by, 19 + 19 = 38). The shack is called “+mudshake – little Holiday luck”, on land named “obscure extended.” Obscure is the sim just below Miata, and just south of the shack itself. I assume that the shack’s owner owns or use to own another parcel in Obscure itself, and bought this land in Miata afterwards to “extend” his land.

And here’s the *second* giant Christian related billboard on the Rubi Diagonal, or just to its south, actually. Baker stands on the very northeast corner of Miata while taking this shot (see: diminutive figure just below the billboard’s lower right corner).

Going forward just a bit, upon a return trip the next day to Miata, Baker notices that Bacon Hellershanks’ studio gallery happens to lie just *north* of the Rubi Diagonal, and just below the popular Lollygagger village in southern Agriopis. The southeast corner of Bacon’s holdings (Miata 163 188 023) lies about 10 meters east of The Diagonal. This could be important because Bacon is the main inspiration for the Hybuli character of original (Rubi’s) VWX Town related posts “Withdrawn” and “Rubi and SID’s 1st Oz”.

Back to the previous day now, we have a shot of a party at the center of the Lollygagger village next to Bacon Studios. Textures have not quite rezzed in all the way, but I thought I’d include it anyway to show what they had to look at in the distance while depravedly dancing away — the giant Hellfire warning. 😮

Actually, I first encountered the presence of Bacon in this region by hitching a ride — through Baker Bloch of course — in this tour pod. Turns out Bacon owns the pod and designed the short tour linking Lollygagger village with the Temple of Iris, an important, perhaps super-important Linden historic site. More on the Iris Temple here.

Arriving at the temple — again, textures hadn’t quite rezzed in yet in this picture.

Skipping now to the other side of Heterocera’s inland sea and The Diagonal’s central water sims of Biston and Hirtaria, we come to this more unusual scene in Cosmet: two superimposed vehicles of a bus and a trojan horse, wheels spinning on both. A school bus with similarly turning tires lies just below. All exist on land called “Morgaine’s Trench”.

Floating above higher ground in Burnet now, looking back on lower terrain across a segment of the atoll continent’s large Second Life Railroad system.
