Map Nonsense

Questions: Why is a Grayson County town called Sadler so identified with the direction South in both Kentucky and Texas? Julie Sadler’s art hangs in Collagesity’s Gallery BOB presently, but I’m not sure if she has anything to do with this. Or does she have everything to do with it. The cardinal direction South opposes the cardinal direction North. The cardinal [bird] just outside Gallery BOB is on the southern edge of Collagesity, in the small Drunk Man’s Ridge Town Park — official town park we’re talking about here. The twinned cardinal is situated in perhaps the other protected nature area of town: Tired Falls, and near the *northern* edge of town. Does the cardinal — both aspects combined — represent the directions North and South, then? It’s a good question to be asking, perhaps a great one. And if true, sheds light on the possible long term nature of Collagesity. I have another concept, perhaps related: Norubi, the joined, hypothetical merger of sims Noru, Rubi, and more.

Also perhaps related: Julie’s presently attempting to resurrect her Collage Clearinghouse site…

“Do you…

… have amnesia, Carrcassonnee?”

Big C:

I have backward forgetfulness. I am blank slate. Feed me my reality.

Baker Bloch:

Interesting. You don’t mind if I call you Big C do you?

Carrcassonnee:

Call me Carrcassonnee.

Baker Bloch:

Alright. Done.

Carrcassonnne:

Aren’t you going to ask about my hanging moss?

Baker Bloch (lying):

It’s nice. What does… it mean?

Carrcassonnee:

It is my arm drape of reality. My arm understands, and will tell the rest of my body soon. Then I will know. I have to wait, let’s see, 50 moons and 20 suns.

Baker Bloch (counting):

That’s over 24 years!

Carrcassonnee:

I can wait. I have nothing else to do except chit chat with the townspeople and give them advise about their own lives.

Baker Bloch:

Let’s reexamine that thought in a moment. So Carrcassonnee…

Carrcassonnee:

Yes?

Baker Bloch:

Do you know about LOST? The tv show I mean.

Carrcassonnee:

Yes?

Baker Bloch:

Then you do know.

Carrcassonnee:

Yes.

Baker Bloch:

Can I ask you some questions about it? That may be why I’m here tonight, and the island formed and the plane crashed. Did you know that the former owner of this land also had a crashed plane — just east of here, not a stone’s throw away. I believe there was an article in the Chilbo press about it. Hold on please, Carrcassonnee…

—–

“Well, I can’t find a picture. Sorry about the delay.”*

Carrcassonnee:

OK. Not OK. Just kidding.

Baker Bloch:

So back to LOST.

Carrcassonnee:

Ask.

Baker Bloch:

Do you know of [delete name]?

Carrcassonnee:

I am told — I peeked at the script this time — that we do not need to talk about that tonight.

Baker Bloch:

Okay, what do you wish to talk about?

Carrcassonnee:

You are here visiting me. You ask.

Baker Bloch:

I think we should talk about LOST.

Carrcassonnee:

Then ask. Don’t ask about the Hanja infohub, don’t ask about Chilbo or Parktown. Ask about LOST.

Baker Bloch:

You seem to be indicating you’d like to talk about local matters.

Carrcassonnee:

Am I? (smiles)

Baker Bloch:

So what about Parktown?

Carrcassonnee:

Parktown and Chilbo both can give you energy if you wish. They have dwindled but are still kindled. You sit between the two — more than ever. You are in upper Norum now and that’s the urban part. Rural has gone bye bye.

Baker Bloch:

Interesting. So you have knowledge of the Norum Woods.

Carrcassonnee:

I have knowledge about Second Life but not First Life. I cannot remember my *user*.

Baker Bloch:

What about this Perch fellow? Are you the same as Perch?

Carrcassonnee:

I am the Head of Perch, so, yes, I am Perch.

Baker Bloch:

Tell me more about this Perch, then, if you can.

Carrcassonnee:

Perch came from Hanjaland, where trees are ferns and ferns are trees. Satin… or Satan… commanded him to… well, he ran away from home. He had to sleep to get away, thus creating Tired Falls. He climbed the falls to House Orange — he fell asleep. Cutting z’s. Omega point. Shadow Man… er, I mean Satin couldn’t follow him into dreams. So he escaped… here.

Baker Bloch:

This sounds like a [somewhat] different story than last night concerning Perch, Carrcassonnee.

Carrcassonnee:

Yes.

Baker Bloch:

You said Perch ran a restaurant… no it was a general store.

Carrcassonnnee:

And the Norum Museum was a bowling alley. (pause)

Baker Bloch:

So there was a….

Carrcassonnee (cutting Baker Bloch off):

Yes.

Baker Bloch:

The Residents.

Carrcassonnee:

Yes. Mass Acre… age.

Baker Bloch:

From the North.

North.

Orange.

Chilbo Expands to Noru Sim

Residents Olando7 Decosta and Violetta LeShelle have recently purchased a large plot of land on the north end of the Noru sim – two sims north of Chilbo! This effectively expands the borders of the Chilbo Community by quite a lot! Congrats to Olando and Violetta, we’ll all look forward to visiting your new space when it’s ready.

Mystery Plane Crash Near Noru Project (Greater Chilbo)

Violetta Leshelle and Olando7 Decosta are building a living&meeting space in the far away Noru sim. The land is part of Greater Chilbo.

Right now you will find at Noru a box with the invitation for a French language virtual law seminar in Second Life, and if that is not weird enough, also a plane wreck.

The plane crashed nearby the main building without causing fatalities. No bodies were found and it remains a mystery who the pilots were.

Maybe you can find out? Visit the crash scene and tell the true story of what happened! More pictures are available on Flickr…

I briefly visited the site of the plane crash and it was VERY eerie, I kept hearing strange voices and couldn’t figure out where it was coming from… until I realize it was your neighbors on voice! laugh! I was one confused Fleep!

Fleep, you are even more right than you think about the voices. At nights, voices and whisperings are heard on the crash spot. My neighbors got so scared they installed a giant prim to protect themselves.

Obvious LOST references in there. 🙂

Carrcassonnee — New Position

1st, a shot of neighbor Veyot’s ode to Carrcassonne. Nice! Check out her recent tumblr entry on Collagesity as well. “Co-la-GES-it-y” — I like it!

Now on to the real deal for Baker Bloch tonight. Per the title of this blog post, Carrcassonnee has a new position in the Confluence Place (Cardinal Place?), which is on its bottom floor just below the more cramped quarters she was situated at during my previous post about her. This gives Big C considerable more breathing room, if she wishes, and also allows her some companions, of a jungle variety in this case. We have a chimpanzee, a gorilla, a hippopotamus, and there’s rumor about an elephant lurking behind the waterfall as well. There’s also a human companion, but unfortunately she was killed when the plane crashed into the place earlier today. I’m not sure if she was actually the pilot, one of the crew or passengers, or just an unfortunate passerby at the time. The gorilla is sad, and wishes to reanimate her and make her his pet. The chimpanzee laughs and tells him to eat her instead, and says that hippo wouldn’t think twice about doing such a thing. Hippo states the obvious: that she is a vegetarian. Gorilla rolls his eyes and looks to Carrcassonnee. “See what I have to put up with here?” he seems to indicate. Carrcassonne takes it all in, admittedly glad of the company. Each being knows its own place, and is happy there. The plane crash didn’t really happen in their midst. The gorilla actor (played by Bob Bassnote, of “Go Tell a Lie” fame) understands that the girl *will* be reanimated and take her position as Lord Vice Mayor of the Collagesity community. Chimpanzee also has read ahead in the script and knows that good friend Elephant (played by Joe Saxon of “The Savage Idiot”) has been written out — killed by the plane, although they all have to act like they don’t know that fact yet, for Carrcassonne’s sake. Big C is not aware of what’s in the script, and this was done on purpose. She wants to be *surprised*. Anyway, before we get to Baker Bloch’s most recent visit with Carrcassonne, here’s some pictures…

Big C’s new island diggs. Obviously a LOST vibe permeating this bottom floor now, with the crashed airplane and island and all. This is not an accident either. Well, it’s kind of an accident. But it was in the script. Big C knows. Well, actually she doesn’t know in this case; her choice.
