Edwardston suddenly drops out of his ship as he’s exploring the superstructure. Although he didn’t realize it at the time, he’d crossed a sim line between Rubi and neighboring Sikkima, which commonly causes physics anomalies like this.
He wonders why a tree is growing on the porch of a nearby house which he otherwise thinks is a very nice home indeed, and envies the current residents, if there are any. Later on Edwardston would take residence in this very house.
So we’ve returned back to the present now, and the Esbum series of pictures. The second SL snapshot of the series finds Esbum sitting in First Chair and taking an initial, good look at the temple she was born in — again, Edwardston R. gathers this from the picture title and description. And he’s doing the same in the present situation with VWX Town, his new home.
“Very interesting,” Edwardston thinks upon reading the title/description for this one and the one before (not shown). Esbum lived or resided on a sim called *Edwardston* for a spell, and one she thought of as a definite type of paradise. He and Esbum *must* be some type of parallel creations, he then thinks.
“Geez, there’s that same picture of the orange alien from before, and Esbum is looking at it now like I saw it previously. Now there’s *two* pictures of orange, floppy topped aliens.”
Staring at the pictures one by one, Edwardston tries to take it all in. Assimilate.
The last picture shows Esbum’s bed again, but now within the very same ship he flew into VWX Town on, it seems. But Esbum is not around — instead a muscular avatar with a cowboy hat, blackbird perched on shoulder, and bright red armbands is seen staring through an opening in the hull. Edwardston R. first mistakenly thinks the Elvis picture to the right is the same as the face of this avatar, which is turned the opposite way from him in the snapshot. Of course this is just our Baker Bloch, who was likewise the parent of Esbum Michigan all those years ago.
Edwardston meditating beside the stream next to his ship. “This is Edward’s stream,” he thinks, tapping into another deep well of memory.
Edwardston R. finds an elephant trunk sticking out from the front of the ship. “Is the elephant trapped in the sides of the ship?”
Edwardston Resident spies more jungle animals from a neighboring, empty tower.
Edwardston rezzes his first SL prim, the archetypal world-cube. The place was important where this happened, he realized.
