“Baker Bloch’s…

Snapshot1191_018

… basically lost the view through the transparent wall of his rented room over at Gallery BOB, Hucka D. As you’re his landlord shouldn’t you do something about it?”

Hucka D.:

He is banished. At least to that room. He was so high and now he’s down again. Low. What next? He’s locked in.

bb:

Not really.

Hucka D.:

Yes. His father Space Ghost still lost. LOST.

bb:

And Carrcassonnee too. The 2 eyes of Perch are back in the town diner, although his head remains encased or shrouded or something in that olive oval. That’s the lasting effect of Carrcassonnee.

Hucka D.:

Lasting effect of Carrcassonnee that is. (pause) Go back in the blog; look at that post. You use to have a *perch* in the very northeast corner of Noru that looked down on the Hanja sim and its vast splattering of tree ferns.

—–

“I just had Baker Bloch walk across Main Way to the Norum Museum to take a picture of this perch, Hucka D. See, he’s not locked in.”

Snapshot1191_020

Hucka D.:

Can I see and review that related perch… er, post? I know I was there, and Sapphire too. That was when the influence of LOST and [delete name] was heavy. That was just before the start of Pietmond and the move back to Sunklands. Funny your father is in Sunklands now. Sink in!

bb:

Here it is. Wait, maybe child avatars are involved again. I made a cryptic comment there about Peter Gabriel entering Second Lyfe as a child, Hucka. Foreshadowing? Like the idea of Perch himself? (pause) Who is this new neighbor hadleemay? It’s not an alt of Veyot, as I originally suspected. Too coincidental that she bought the property right next to Veyot just after the latter complained about an issue with that property. Another logical conclusion is that she’s an alt of the person who returned Veyot’s house. Hucka?

—–

bb:

Anyway, this whole idea of the Perch coming up again… I knew Veyot back in 2010, when she rented a 512 in Nabi just below this perch. I didn’t know about this until…

Hucka D.:

Hi, I’m back. Had to take a cig break.

bb:

Smoking?

Hucka D.:

Hot.

bb:

I’m still just talking to myself about this perch at the northeast corner of Noru.

Hucka D.:

You’re still talking to yourself (smile). Do you think I’m real? Remember that conversation at the time? Have you had time to find the actual post I was talking about? I thought not… so easily distracted are you.

bb:

Let me try again…

Pietmond Chronicles?

Apologies for getting sidetracked again, but that post also stood out for me, Hucka D. “Lost Cane”… a point of timelessness in the center of Time/Space.

Hucka D.:

Space/Time.

bb:

The gallery [structure] I was playing around with at the time was called Gallery 7/10. “7/10” has also recently come up again: Carrcassonnee is the seven and Tin at once.

Hucka D.:

Yes. I might have said it[ even].

bb:

It was an odd structure… based on the notion of a 3×3 Magic Square of Saturn, the simplest magic square. (pause) The timeless aspect would be the “5” in the middle.

DANCE_YU

And *you* said, at the time, that this gallery, in conjunction with its magic square property, brought in the *plane*… made it crash. At the time this would have been the plane that crashed into Olando7’s land, which is now basically my land, the land of Collagesity. Much more recently, another plane crashed at almost the very same spot, seemingly killing Starbuccaneer Barista. But somehow she was revived — the Gorilla? — and ran for town mayor, only losing to Baker Bloch because of a freak earthquake. Another catastrophe. Now she is in exile.

Hucka D.:

No.

bb (trying again):

She is in hiding.

Hucka D.:

Yes. 2130.

bb:

That’s also where the plane crashed.

Hucka D.:

Do you realize you *still* haven’t pulled up the correct post?

bb:

Sorry.

—–

Pietmond Chronicles?

Peter set up the Magic Square of 3 construct… my Gallery 7/10, creating a center of timelessness.

Hucka D.:

Jesus.

—–

“Ahh, finally found it:”

So…

—–

“There’s all sorts of possible bleedthrough between various realities I and others have manifested in Noru. “Who’s Peter SoSo?” remains a paramount question. It could be just me.”

Hucka D.:

No. Peter Gabriel. The only real variant.

bb:

[So] Peter Gabriel came in through [Hanja] infohub, established a *footprint* in Noru.

Hucka D.:

Norum, as in no room.

bb:

Yeah, but he and Karoz interacted, after Karoz left the side of Sapphire. And supposedly this is when Linden Lab “passed through” or transformed Norum into Noru.

Hucka D.:

Peter showed Karoz the way to Sunklands. Where your father is presently. You should go and find him. He got turned around again. He is also in Lincoln, Nebraska[ simultaneously].

bb:

The (West) End

For now, what I call the House of True Lies has been inserted between the Confluence Place and the still empty Marble Towers. HoTL, as it turns out, is where townspeople go when they expire from their existence. It’s all just recycled over and over and over.

Snapshot1187_002

I was going to set up a second, basically duplicate version of the Stairs Gallery in West Side, but several days later I had to delete it to create some prim room. The idea once more was to fill it with the collage efforts and perhaps even some paintings by Kollage Kid, a master at his trade.

Conclusion:

I think Baker Bloch is into some deep dubious magic. He *caused* the earthquake. He sent his father away to safety beforehand. He “killed” the most vocal or at least the most verbose supporters of his arch-rival Starbuccaneer Barista. Actually he simply wished them away to Pieland, which turned out to be just on the other side of Collagesity, unfortunately for him. They were found. They told their story. Now the whole election is up in the air again. Celebration festivities basically cancelled except for the Twister Party in the basement of Fal Mouth Moon. Everyone in town loves twister! Baker Bloch has set up a press conference at 09:00 tomorrow in an attempt to explain. Mulder thinks he’s onto the secret, but Scully remains skeptical. Spider keeps spouting out the same 4 numbers in different combinations. It’s mayhem again in Collagesity. Some are beginning to believe that the earthquake never happened, and that Baker Bloch tampered with the town’s water system. Hallucinogenics we’re talking about here. Space Ghost will arrive soon to publically beat and humiliate son Baker with his beating cane. Starbuccaneer Barista waits patiently in the 2130 Corridor, biding her time. It’s up to the townspeople to realize that Baker Bloch didn’t really do any of this, good or bad. His *user* (i.e., me) did. It’s up to them.

The mayoral race is over!

Baker Bloch, riding his success in recent efforts to save lives/property in the aftermath of Collagesity’s devastating earthquake, has been elected official Town Mayor for a first second term. Way to go Baker! Primary rival Starbuccaneer Barista is said to have gone into exile, perhaps disappearing into the ultra-mysterious Corridor 2130 of the Confluence Place. Baker Bloch’s dog Spider has been found (thanks Furry Karl!). Baker’s father Space Ghost remains lost in Sunklands, but at least he was out of harm’s way during the earthquake. Celebrations will continue into the weekend, we’re told.

Baker gets his hat bent in the celebration mayhem.

Earthquake Update

I wanted to update as quickly as possible here because I know some of you have loved ones involved. Baker Bloch basically has the situation in hand. All galleries have reopened, but the Coolie Building and Noru Museum remains closed for now. No new fatalities discovered. Almost all citizens are accounted for. Baker Bloch’s dog Spider remains missing. If you see Spider please im Baker Bloch inworld.

Collagesity Earthquake Update: Scully and Mulder are dead.

It is my sad duty to report that Baker Bloch has just uncovered the bodies of two well known Collagesity residents: FBI agents Dana Scully and Fox Mulder, who were last seen just outside the historic Orange House vocally campaigning for mayoral candidate Starbuccaneer Barista. Long rest their souls.

Hopefully this is the last of the earthquake fatalities I’ll have to post about on this blog.

An earthquake of some magnitude…

Snapshot1181_001

… has hit Collagesity this night. Baker Bloch, with his significant terraforming powers, is working diligently to dig out the townspeople and their inundated buildings and return the land to its former levels. The diner is back open, but several galleries remain closed. Some fronts and corners of buildings have been suspended in the air. No fatalities or significant injuries have been reported thankfully. Baker will attempt to restore the rest of the town to full operating order asap.

“On the agenda…

… will be the possible annexation of land south of present Collagesity. I’m opposed!”

bb:

We have enough to deal with with what we’ve got.

Hucka D.:

Precisely.

bb:

What else is on the agenda? What other hot campaign topics are out there?

Hucka D.:

The fact that Space Ghost can run at all. What is he: 100 years old?

bb:

Almost 96, Hucka D.

Hucka D.:

He gets around pret–ty good for a man that age.

bb:

Got those dead Space Ghost eyes like his son. I’d recognize him, I think.

Hucka D.:

He’ll remember the Orange Country. Before Lemon Lab, even. Way before present Linden Lab, of course. Funny how he’ll call that Lime Lab… Limeys. Complain about how they can’t touch, smell, taste. Orange Country might… you go…

bb:

Orange Country might be Real Life, then.

Hucka D.:

I think, in a way, it has to. Real virtual reality. Your world.

bb:

Other topics, then…

Hucka D.:

There’s always the fight between Power Tower and Fal Mouth Moon for money. And probably Toxic Art as well. The 3 prime galleries.

bb:

Those are owned by me, Hucka D.

Hucka D.:

Yes they are.

bb:

Who owns most of the old town, Hucka?

Hucka D.:

Perch.

bb:

Carrcassonnee?

Hucka D.:

That’s what you have to find out.

Meanwhile the aged Space Ghost was still wandering down Route 10, now on foot in the eastern part of Sunklands. “Gramps, gramps!” called Hucka Doobie. “You have to come back to Collagesity and run for mayor! Remember your role! Remember the *script*!” Space Ghost couldn’t hear him because Hucka D. had forgotten how to properly set up a second Second Life viewer that would run concurrently with the first. “Gramps! Gramps!!” he cried in vain again to an unresponsive computer screen.

“There’s nothing to find in Sunklands, Hucka.”

Hucka D.:

There’s stuff. Enough to keep him busy.

bb:

We have to go retrieve him. It’s “Nebraska” all over again.

Collagesity & Stonethwaite: Sister Sities

Stonethwaite’s “Stonethwaite End and Restaurant” from the “Falmouth 26” collage and Collagesity’s Town Diner probably make the most direct link between the sister towns. Falls are associated with each. Dorothy’s fall appears to be the same or very closely related to Diner Falls dropping past Head of Perch/The Olive. The falls on the distant hill (Estatoah Falls, Georgia) in the related collage could also compare to Collagesity’s Tired Falls…

collage27test05

Snapshot1171_005

… as could this cascade from “Falmouth 27”, the next in the 61 work Falmouth collage series from earlier this year and the second to depict a Stonethwaite setting. The falls of the collage are culled from Greenup Gill just up the valley from the Lake District village.

collage29real01

Snapshot1171_004

The interior of the “Stonewaite End and Restaurant” appears to also mirror that of the Collagesity Diner. This connection will act as a type of direct portal between the two later on, or what I call a “looking glass” situation.

collage39real04b

Snapshot1171_006

There’s a “two-dimensional” blue bike in both Falmouth’s Stonethwaite — near the center of town, and also Collagesity — next to the diner. The blue member of the rock band Story Room appears before the former; there’s a strutting blue robot near the latter.

collage35dareal12

Snapshot1171_001

The next connection is, on the surface, vaguer and more diffuse. Shelly Duval is wearing a toy fireman’s helmet with a star logo in “Falmouth 30” (see: here). Ringo Starr appears next to her with a giant, glinty star at his midsection, an image taken from Glinda the Good Witch’s wand in the classic 1939 Wizard of Oz film.

collage32real01

In what seems to be a corresponding Collagesity shot, one of the two ladders of the Confluence Place is seen, relating to fireman’s ladders. Also in one of Veyot’s more amusing blog notes, building from my own story, she states that firemen were called in to rescue a golden retriever puppy from the roof of Gallery BOB next to the Confluence Place (middle of below photo). I would add that they might have had to use the ladders of the Confluence Place if theirs, say, weren’t long enough or were misplaced, etc. Or perhaps the Confluence Place ladders did double duty as the sole ladders of the town’s fire brigade. Interesting concept.

Snapshot1173_002

What does it all mean? Still figuring that out. But I know a further link between Collage Stonethwaite and Collagesity has been made through Aqua Teen’s Master Shake now, building directly on the twin diner portal mentioned above.
