(joined in progress)
Baker Blinker:
I feel like it’s all my fault. Because I wanted those smaller eyes. To become more human.
Carr.:
They look very nice, Baker Blinker. And now you have changed your skin color back to pink as partial compromise. It’s all developing as expected.
BBlinker:
Not quite as pink as before.
Baker Bloch:
It looks the same to me.
Carr.:
That’s because we have gone back in time to create the backdrop of this meeting. It’s not as pink as it seems, Baker Bloch.
BBlinker:
Karoz was all set to change a bit too. He told me the night before he left that he was going to defy Old Kent and his gifts and make an effort[ in that direction].
Carr.:
Well, you see, that’s probably part of the problem, then. You two had to be separated, at least for a bit. The whole thing was staged, really. That’s actually not the moon of Second Life. The surface is as flat as a pancake subtract the craters. You have an interior, true, full of 14 monsters that is now one bad ass [delete name]. He likes to be known as Sask. Remember we devoted about a week’s time to the discussion of it back in January, Baker Blinker?
BBlinker:
No.
Carr.:
Well, we did. John Lockfry 01 did steal the lemon of a space capsule. It both exploded in midair with him and didn’t. He reached the moon, but through a time jump into the future. About 2 years for him… them, but only 2 days for Karoz. Benji tells me these thing.
BBloch:
The dog?
Carr.:
No. (recalibrating) I mean: yes. But at a price. He was split in two, like anima and animus. One was crippled like the monster-free moon itself. One remained standing. Both are as crazy as cats; Benji reinforces this to no end.
BBlinker:
What about Karoz?
Carr.:
Karoz redesigned the ship to make it safer. He legitimately made it to this so-called moon in the correct time period. No jump needed. He encountered future John Lockfry there, who had already split… in two I mean. He didn’t leave the moon. But, an update by Benji just now in real time: Karoz at least knows about the *real* moon, the smaller one to him but which will become the same size as the fake one in no time atall. How about that? Real time updating taking place during our meeting.
BBloch:
Cool. Where do I fit into all this?
Carr.:
You are the town custodian. Not just for the collage but for all of Collegesity. You clean up. [You are] okay with that?
BBloch:
Sure. But what if I had made the trip with Karoz? What would have become of me?
Carr.:
It was all staged, as stated. Karoz would go alone. Baker Blinker and he needed a gap between them. But now he can bridge the gap by making a leap not of doom but of faith. Will he do it? becomes the next door in our journey.
BBlinker:
I can’t help but worry. I’m going to change my eyes back until he returns.
Carr.:
Might not hurt.
Memories.
