bb:

How long have you lived in VWX Town, Bracket?

BJ:

I keep going to the sun. Three score… no three years. thirty three years.

bb:

You died on the… well, you tell me where you died.

BJ:

I was like the Dodo. Trusting. With the guy with the huge arms. He killed me. This was on the island of Mauritius.

bb:

Yes, that’s where the dodo birds were found, I believe. But that’s not the island where you died.

BJ:

Yes. It is.

bb:

As I recall, you were reading the book Floydodo.

BJ:

Yes, and I noticed it was still in my inventory. But I was unable to rezz it in my new apartment. Is it my new apartment?

bb:

I think it might be, Bracket. I’ll add you to the Blue Feather group as soon as possible and take care of that problem.

BJ:

I desire the ability to create.

bb:

Yes, we’ll take care of it. But you came back from your death — a resurrection. Supposedly you came back as the first TILEpyre. (baker b. spells this out for Bracket)

BJ:

I don’t quite remember that. I remember death. I remember a white light. Mist. I am still dead.

bb:

No you are resurrected. The judgement bugle has sounded. You live here in the paradisiacal VWX Town now, Bracket. Maybe.

BJ:

Humm. Do I?

bb:

Yes, again. If you wish.

BJ:

If so, I want to study avatar ensoulment. Like the character Norman Bates and the character Marion Crane from Psychogumma. I wish to study Psychogumma where Marion came back or was resurrected as her sister. (pause) And it was Long Island. Or a long island. That’s where I was killed. And Torsit — yes, Torsit — was the stabber, the murderer. Sort it.

But it was also *you*, in a way, that killed me baker b. You *sent* me to that long island. You banished me, exiled me. Because I talked of Billfork. And now in this blog, as I understand, as I’m sensing, as I know intuitively, you talk of Billfork once more and are *not* punished.

bb:

I talk of Billfork the toy happening in Herman Park[ however].

BJ:

Then that is where I wish to live. In this Billfork.

bb:

That’s not possible[ right now]. VWX Town is kind of sort of the virtual version of Billfork. A bit.

BJ:

Bite?

bb:

I just remembered it was called the Blake Sea. That’s where we sent you.

BJ:

*You* sent me. Because of The Bill and that circle where I chatted about it. A *bit*.

bb:

I can understand the *bit*terness. Sorry.

BJ:

I’ll return soon.

Edwardston was back in eastern VWX Town, sitting outside the Hole in the Wall bar and staring at the nearby structures, including this still unnamed building whose windows cyclical change spectral colors.

Cat topped City Hall again. Edwardston has no fear in this spot.

He enters the bar and notices the white mist, same as how he appears to Baker Bloch perhaps.

But it isn’t Baker Bloch this go around. Instead we have a video playing, beer sipping Bracket Jupiter in the bar with Edwardston, who also sees the only other figure there as mist. Contrast this to Baker Bloch, who Edwardston can actually see, albeit in a grayed out manner. Interesting.

Since no, true interaction can take place this time, Bracket leaves the bar with his beer without speaking to Edwardston or even knowing who Edwardston is. But I believe Bracket knows Baker Bloch.

He arrives home at the apartment he’s started to rent above the Bodega market near the east end of town.

“No beer drinking my pale, thin ass!”

Bracket has a big chip on his shoulder and intends to speak to blogmaster baker b. about it asap.

Baker Bloch asked that Edwardston Resident join him in a special event: the launching of a rocket from the Norris Building that would take him all the way to *The Moon*. And Edwardston gets to hang with his new friend, once more! Notice from the below picture that, from Edwardston’s viewpoint of the meeting this time, his actual appearance was not altered. Baker Bloch remained grayed out, true, but this was a one step improvement from their first interaction. Unfortunately, Baker Bloch still only saw Edwardston as a white mist.

Baker enters the Norris Building, telling Edwardston to stay put and keep looking up. Less than a minute later Baker was in the air (!)

About 10 minutes later, Edwardston, still looking skyward as Baker requested, saw his friend, arms and legs flailing, return to virtual Earth in a crash, sans rocket. “What happened, what happened??” Edwardston implored. Baker just wiped himself off and headed back toward the Norris Building. “I gotta try that again,” he said to Edwardston while walking away. “Just keep looking up. And keep taking your photos!”

It was while he was snapping photographs of this second, witnessed launch that something more surprising happened. Edwardston must have touched the rocket in the wrong way, because, suddenly, *he* was riding in the launched pod alongside Baker Bloch! He looked over at Baker, whose appearance was strangely flickering and even contracting in certain places like the face as the elevation increased. He managed to take some pictures.

At one point, Baker even lost his glasses and armbands. Only a hat topped, faceted gray mass remained. Thankfully, it was only a brief effect.

Shortly they crash landed on The Moon itself, unharmed. They’d made it!

After looking around at some of the craters and staring at the star speckled sky, they found that the ship was irreparably damaged and would not make a return trip. They’d have to teleport home instead. What fun nevertheless!!
