I have to face…

… the really big possibility that I might be giving up all my Collagesity land come the first week of September, not just Southend. I’ve started a new website to begin. I need to work on The Table. And I still have a bit of land in Second Life free of charge. If I do this I must sell now. But what of my plan to keep Collagesity Sep., Oct. and into the winter? Fall hiking season, no matter how limited, is coming up soon.

Tempting to just put *all* my land up for sale now. As the Fal Mouth Moon is still set up in Philudoria, Spider can still roam the collages as he is doing now. He entered through the “Art 10×10” (Toxic Art Gallery) but can remain in the Falmouth series (Fal Mouth Moon). But what of the Power Tower Gowlery and the Wiltshire based works?

I don’t seem to need to explore Second Life much any more, outside just roaming around my town and taking pictures and building and interacting with it.

And I also wonder how long Second Life will remain. The energy is obviously magnitudes below what it use to be when I first logged on there. Part of it is me, of course, and getting use to the newness of virtual reality. But the majority is within SL itself. I think of how many people I’ve seen come and go. I live with mainland and I die with mainland.

I could just rent when I come back (Nov.?). 90 bucks saved right there for the next 2 months. I must think of priorities.

I haven’t made a final decision on Collagesity. I know I’ll be getting rid of Southside. It’s just that the sustaining energy isn’t there any longer. Chilbo and Parktown are still around but obviously diminished. Only VHC City remains strong among the mainland urban areas I know about. I suppose I should just go ahead and face the fact that I’ll hold onto Philudoria and let the rest go. The Diagonal doesn’t pass through Noru but through the latter… and also Rubi. It was good to go back to Jeogeot for a while. I will miss it.

I’ll probably just compose a series of posts on this subject, just to get use to the idea one way or the other. Hucka D. will probably just urge me to let go of everything and rebuild if needed later on. What of Queen Alma I? I have not been able to penetrate the mysteries of Middletown/Meddletown. The Noru sim cannot become the new, virtual paradise past/present/future. Can it?

Found again.

Of all people, it was Starbuccaneer Barista that found Spider. Ridiculously clever, she had lured him out of a Whitehead Crossing related collage in the Fal Mouth Moon with a bowl of dog food.

“Uhmmmm, yes: eat it up my precious Spider dog,” the resurrected Star said slyly. For she knew that a position of power would soon be in store for her because of this. She must speak to Baker Blinker asap; tell her of what she saw in the corridor. Share notes.

“So that’s where I come from,” said Queen Alma I from the future, peering in again. “A merger of Starbuccaneer Barista and Baker Blinker.”

“And Carrcassonnee,” Hucka Doobie added. “She was strong at the time, having just absorbed the 11th. Tasted like chicken again to her.” He smiled slyly slightly.

“But little Spider would go back into the collages to be lost again. And again. And yet again and again.”

“And again!” Hucka Doobie added again. “You see, he was mistakenly rewarded for entering the collages. Dog food, sticks, squeeze dolls. All these lured him out but also kept him going back, knowing the endpoint.”

“How did it end?” the Queen asked. “Is he still in the collages even now?”

“Yes,” came Hucka Doobie’s answer. “He eventually became All Collages.”

Cardboard Derek Jones suddenly slid his way into the room through the seams of the closed door. “My Majesty. And… um, sire. The dog has reappeared again!”

“What synchronicity!” Hucka Doobie exclaimed.

“Too much so I would say,” says a more cautious Queen Alma I, reading out of a red book that had appeared in her hands. “I’m checked the script now. Spider has learned how to traverse time.”

“Then we’re all in big, big trouble,” returned a suddenly worried Hucka. “Big big trouble.”

Cardboard Derek Jones slides quickly toward them, holding forth a picture, which turns out to be an animation as the Queen and Hucka jointly stare in disbelieve. In it, Baker Bloch and Master Shake also jointly stare in disbelieve as a giant dog turns into a horse before their very eyes.

“That’s it,” Hucka Doobie says in finality, seeing Spider being fed/rewarded from “within”. “We’ve got to speak to Story Room about the 11th.”
