bb:

So you wish to instead speak of 1Pink. Parts 1, 2 and 3?

Hucka D.:

Yes. I wish to become Jello Jack. Gelatin?

bb:

How are you going to do that?

Hucka D.:

The same way I do anything. Pretend. Then it is.

bb:

Why don’t we just talk of Carrcass-11, then, the newest one.

Hucka D.:

Do we have clearance from Queen Blinker? Alma I?

bb:

I’m not sure.

Hucka D.:

Bar.

Queen Blinker:

I am in control now. Benevolent monarch, just as you expected. Former mayor Baker Bloch will be my primary counsel. Cardboard Derek Jones will put voice to the concerns of neglected Westside. Southside will remain a mystery for now.

bb:

Queen Blinker, thank you for appearing earlier than your actual coronation in this blog.

Queen Blinker:

You are welcome, baker b. You are me.

bb:

Yes. And Baker Bloch. The “B” word I can’t say. Why does all this have to do with 12 Oz Mouse?

Queen:

12 Oz Mouse is you from the future.

bb:

What is the mystery of 2130?

Queen:

It is a series or layers of mysteries. Baker Bloch and I have already gone into the mystery corridor at the Top o’ Confluence. We have seen the end but also the beginning. I instruct through that knowledge.

bb:

And your title — Alma I. Where did that come from?

Queen:

The good townspeople of Collagesity, headed by Baker Bloch, appointed the name. It came with the realization that Collagesity stands in for the capital of Jeogeot herself. Now. The Confluence Place will be reconfigured as my Confluence Palace. I will stand in the corridor. Sit, actually. We need a throne still.

bb:

Are you Carrcassonnee?

Queen:

That is a good question. I am.

bb:

You…

Queen:

I have appointed several committees to review projects. A new SID’s 1st Oz interview is on the list. An in-depth analysis of Tronesis and Peter SoSo Gabriel’s role in it as well. Big E, obviously. Kidd Tower. We will send the dog Diamond Spider into the Fal Mouth Moon collages for information and energy. Southside will be sealed up. X-Spot will eventually shift from general to personal. And, very important, I’ve commissioned work to begin again on the White Tower, leading from Collagesity to Virtual Heaven. It will not be a Tower of Babble.

bb:

What’s at the top?

Queen:

Wormhole. To Whitehead Crossing.

bb:

Interesting. How does that work?

Queen:

Create a tube long enough and everyone will want to crawl through it (smiles).

bb:

What of Story Room? Will Carrcass-11 be open source?

Queen:

Yes. Or no.

bb:

Are you consulting with Story Room as well?

Queen:

Spider will find out more.

Carrcass-11 might be mapped out already. I still have to tape and fine tune, but I should have a fixed work by next week. Excitement yet again (hurrah!). Unfortunately I can’t talk about it much in this blog. I will go so far as to say it represents a primary mesh between two related movies, add in two secondary video sources.

Perhaps on a somewhat related note, Giant C or Giant Carrcassonnee has been removed from Collagesity to free up prims, but may return now that I have a considerable cushion in that area thanks mainly to the replacement of House of True Lies with a 2 prim slum building. It’s a good looking product, and, anyhow (I must ask myself), how much would I go into the House of True Lies for anything? At current time I have about 260 prims to work with in Collagesity proper. Many more are added through my Southside property, but since I plan to sell that in about 2-3 weeks I’m not going to count those prims.

I forgot to mention that I also bought the Arrowtown property this week and lumped it in with the rest of Southside.

The X-Spot/Middletown developments remains on hold as I complete C-11. Giant Carrcassonnee, I feel, will return to the collage village, at least at times. I need her wise, oracle-type advise on matters such as Middletown, Jeogeot, C-11, and beyond.

Pictures just in case it goes away soon; probably part of Southside.

Just that fast. I’m a quick Second Life collager. Turns out it became a large town park, complete with a looping train track (and train!) and a quite vast array of freebie plants and flowers, almost all of whose original prims counts have been lowered thanks to that oh-so-handy prim>convex hull physical shape type conversion I learned about recently. More details soon. Just wanted to let the reader or readers know it’s basically finished.

Next up are important decisions concerning Collagesity Proper structures. My thinking has shifted to the idea of demolishing the Confluence Place, and freeing the jungle animals within to roam as they will. Perhaps they’ll end up in the wilds of Southside, already populated by another elephant and a spotted horse. Important decisions as well coming up about the town government structure. As I see it currently, the metro region is divided into Central (Collagesity “Proper”), Southside, Westside, and perhaps even an Eastside — more unsure of the latter. The town mayor position remains in limbo, what with the death of Baker Bloch. Never mind that he’s been virtually resurrected in the meantime. He’s dead in the minds of a lot of community people. Yet the logical replacement, Starbuccaneer Barista, remains in hiding or exile. A committee was formed to search the ulta-mysterious Corridor 2130, with only 1 bitten tongue and 1 bruised ego suffered as injuries. Cardboard Derek Jones has hinted around he wants to run for Westside mayor, if that position becomes manifest. Seer Adam Westend has become Adam Southend, as his Cape May cottage has been moved from former to latter. Greenup collages will soon be set up within. Maybe C. D. Jones should run for Southside’s mayor position instead — again if it comes to that. But what of Central, this Collagesity Proper, where basically all Greater Collagesity’s art exists? A compromise might be to bring back Baker Blinker to act as town leader. Didn’t Hucka D. warn me about this possibility a while back? *Was* it a warning? I’ll have to check. Thanks, as usual, for listening dead dear reader(s).

I have a month to figure out what to do with it. Fun!

And to add to that now, a plot in what was formerly known as Middletown according to most of my blog spirit friends. Let the hands-on research begin!

I think Wappo Jack might have a fascination, good or bad, with even larger Carrcassonnee. Jealousy?

We have additional clues about the nature of Middletown from the past. Chicago is also a town in the Middle.

Baby Wappo Jack might have been born there. We might be missing his *Middle* (Story), then.

Mrs. Jack? Mom?

“Had to be tried,” Baker Bloch muses.
