Of course it was The Table House and attached Confluence Place that still represented the center.

“Edwardston still needs to see the ballerina with the 3 hoops,” Baker Bloch muses. “That might help determine which Edward he is. Gees!”

3rd and 2nd streams respectively.

The Residents still look over the house. And certainly the residents of VWX Town have come alive as of recently (!) We now have Bracket Jupiter living in the community along with Edwardston Resident. And Baker Bloch apparently has his office here, in Table House. Is Wilsonia next? How about Baker Blinker?

Baker Bloch thinks way back to his old crush on the other Baker, the female one. Is that completely over? Yes, he realized. It was.

Then suddenly she was there again, beside him. It was the same situation as with Edwardston — again strangely, since Baker Blinker is an older avatar than even Baker Bloch. She is the original avatar of the Baker family, in fact, dating way back to February 2008. Lots of good times in that avatar body. In about 2010, I suppose, she got a sort of makeover, with the idea that she’d represent the public face of the family. She would be the one to attend parties to promote our art galleries, for example. But it never really worked out that way.

“What are your plans Baker Bloch?” she queried. “Are you going to live here, in the Table House?”

“I think so. At least set up my office here.” He didn’t know what to ask her back, however.

“I’ll remain in the background still,” she then said, noticing the uncomfort. “Remember the old days when you had to borrow from *my* inventory? I had the stuff, then. I was the queen.”

“Yes you were,” Baker Bloch readily agreed. He wanted to add, “… and you still are,” but he held his tongue.

Night descended yet they remained in their chairs, a silent communion.

Baker Blinker broke the spell. “We have a number of children now, I guess you could put it.”

“Yes, I suppose you could say that,” Baker Bloch responded. “I’m unsure of Edwardston, however. He’s this one Edwardston that our user, baker b., knows from childhood, yet he’s this other Edwardston that is a writer from Texas and loves ballerinas and worshipped another place called Rubi as a paradise.”

“Maybe it’s both,” Baker Blinker countered. “Can it be both?”

“I suppose it is. I suppose it might have to be. I need to get him *here* so that he can take a look at the ballerina below us here.”

“Will you take me there?” Baker Blinker requested.

“Follow me into the hole,” he said.

“Camp Rubi,” Baker Bloch said, pointing.

“Ah,” responded Baker Blinker.

“A model of the camp,” Baker Bloch clarified. “And only half of it. The other half is on the other side of the wall from here. Let’s see, that would be the higher value colors like green, yellow, red. That would be the dark side of the rainbow. Or maybe this part is the dark side.”

“Which one?”

“This part,” the male Baker decides.

“Ooops, tee hee. I tried to sit down on one of the houses and now I’m on the other side. How do I get back?”

“The walls should be phantom,” he responds.

Baker Blinker unsuccessfully tried to walk through the wall to get back to Baker Bloch. “Nope, its not.”

“Oh wait, here’s an opening.” Baker Blinker walks up to Baker Bloch, who still stares at the model of the camp. He turns to meet her.

“I really wish I could see you. I suppose I might never see you again, actually.”

“I can see you, but you’re grayed out.”

Baker Bloch grimmaced. “Yeah, Edwardston complained about that as well. But at least you guys can see me. I can’t see either of you. Not… fair.”

“No,” Baker Blinker agreed. “So what are you hoping will happen to Edwardston when he sees the ballerina?”

“Umm.”

[19:01] edwardston Resident: Been to The Moon lately?
[19:01] baker Bloch: Nah. You?
[19:02] edwardston Resident: No. Not since yesterday. So what’s you up to tonight?
[19:02] baker Bloch: Thought I’d down a beer and head to bed.
[19:02] edwardston Resident: Karl here doesn’t talk much does he?
[19:02] baker Bloch: Nah.
[19:03] edwardston Resident: Get lost!
[19:03] edwardston Resident: Boo!
[19:03] edwardston Resident: Boo!
[19:03] edwardston Resident: Boo!
[19:05] baker Bloch: You okay?

[19:05] edwardston Resident: Yeah sorry. Just testing out some gestures.
[19:06] baker Bloch: I think the computer’s going to beat me again. Karl, you going to serve me or not?
[19:07] Furry Karl: Hey you talking to me? You talking to *me*?

[19:07] baker Bloch: Aren’t you suppose to be helping the customers instead of criticizing or threatening them?
[19:08] Furry Carl: Touched.
[19:08] Furry Carl: Touched.
[19:08] Furry Carl: Touched.
[19:10] baker Bloch: Never mind Karl. I got it myself.
[19:11] baker Bloch: So Karl?
[19:11] Furry Karl: Merry fucking Winter?
[19:11] baker Bloch: Do you have a wife? Kids? Where do you live? Tell me about yourself. Make some small talk. Practice small talk.
[19:12] Furry Karl: Beer?
[19:12] baker Bloch: I’ve got a beer Karl, but thank you.
[19:12] baker Bloch: How about you Edwardston? Where do you hail from? Hell? Heehee.
[19:13] edwardston Resident: I’m from Mythos. The planet Mythos. I come from… well, my memory is scrambled a bit.
[19:13] baker Bloch: I saw your ship land about a week ago. What do you call that thing? Looks like a ship ship. A seagoing ship.
[19:14] edwardston Resident: If you mean the spaceship it’s The Arab. Also The Foreign One. Or 4 in 1. That’s because it’s 4 ships in 1. Like in the Verne story.
[19:14] edwardston Resident: You know, Jules Verne. The one set in Morganton, North Carolina. That’s where I’m from.
[19:14] baker Bloch: Is that Mythos, then?
[19:14] edwardston Resident: Yes.
[19:14] baker Bloch: Interesting. Do you know we probably have the same maker?
[19:14] edwardston Resident: No.
[19:16] baker Bloch: Well, we probably do. He’s got the same first name as me. That’s probably why I know more about him than you. Plus you just arrived here and all.
[19:17] baker Bloch: What’s shaking down or up in Mythos my new friend? My new bro.
[19:17] edwardston Resident: I live next to you in Mythos. Your maker I mean.
[19:18] baker Bloch: Nah, not possible. But I’ve heard you know a real life Edwardston. Or maybe Edward. Do you know?
[19:18] edwardston Resident: I know I’m Edward. I know Edwardston because it’s me.
[19:18] baker Bloch: You have an orange dog.
[19:18] edwardston Resident: Yes.
[19:19] baker Bloch: Nah, couldn’t be. I’ll have to talk to baker b. about this.
[19:19] edwardston Resident: That the user?
[19:19] baker Bloch: Yeah. baker b. I can talk to him sometimes.
[19:19] edwardston Resident: Tell me about him. I mean I know him differently. I remember him from childhood. I know him better than you but further back. You know him more recently.
[19:20] Furry Carl: Touched.
[19:21] baker Bloch: He created VWX Town where we are. He’s lived here before. This is the Sylver Forest, or the remnant of the Sylver Forest. He’s lived around here 4 or 5 times. He lived in that sinkhole you can see from the top of the cat. You been up there?

[19:21] edwardston Resident: I don’t like cats. Like dogs, though.
[19:22] baker Bloch: No, you’re suppose to be Edward but not this Mythos Edward I don’t think.
[19:22] edwardston Resident: I am ill defined.
[19:22] baker Bloch: Appears so. But if you are this other Edward….
[19:22] edwardston Resident: Yeah?
[19:23] baker Bloch: Then where is your dog?
[19:23] edwardston Resident: I’ve seen my dog. It’s in the montages over on the west side of town.
[19:23] baker Bloch: The dingo.
[19:23] edwardston Resident: Yeah. That made me remember about the Edward part. I am Edward.
[19:24] baker Bloch: Let’s go look.
[19:24] edwardston Resident: Okay.
