Baker Bloch decides to take a short bike ride this night, passing through the southern and western regions of Mystenopolis to reach this rectangular green perch on the far side of the ridge.
In the unbroken open space before him suddenly appears a huge green faune statue, stopping him in his tracks. He’d seen it before several years back during a similar bike trip…
Moving away from the psimagus Hax created community and heading east now toward Route 14, Baker Bloch soon comes across this statue of “The Faune from Pompeii giant”, according to the object’s description. Similar in height to the Christ monument looming above Mysten Underhill/Parva, does it represent a “corrupt” counterpart of some kind? Something to do with the balance between eastern and western sides of Lower Austra? It’s interesting to me that this Faune statue lies right next to a sim boundary (east-west Fumb and Goremoor, with the statue being in Fumb), just like Christ of the Mysten community (north-south Mysten and Siliconicus). Interesting as well that the church next to it, also near this border, is called Church of the Silicon soul, resonant with the sim name just to its south. Hmmm.
Then the next day I discovered the twinned houses around the 2 statues in question:
The “Furnished Umbrian Primo Villa” skybox behind the christ statue of Mystenopolis has disappeared since this 2012 observation. However, as it turns out, the one attached to the faune statue is still there in Fumb, with apparently the same attached kinetic statues and sky garden.
I’m going to take a better look at this house and surrounding region soon. That was a fantastic 2012 synchronicity concerning the 2 polarizing statues, one religious and one pagan in origin. One of my favorites from that time. I still think it has meaning to plumb…
Baker in a Mythenopolis underground scene. I’ll also have considerably more to say, I feel, about the catacombs, etc., of my new home sim.
