Checked out Medici University last night through Baker Bloch. A bedazzled Baker rests at a coffee house. Here’s the official website. Exciting possibilities!

More on the encompassing Linden Endowment for the Arts here:

Another Tile Temple in the background?

The next morning, I log Baker Bloch in again and, through his eyes, *immediately* see those ghost lights in the southeast part of the woods.

But it turns out to be a tank this time, appearing to come from a sim called Nibiru, very similar to the collaged word Norubi, then (Noru + Rubi: see here for first use). Just replace the “i” with an “o” and you have a 1:1 anagram; must be related. But Baker Bloch cannot find a sim called Nibiru on the world grid. Hmmm…

But why would a Nibiru originating warrior want to invade Collagesity? Are they related somehow to Perch’s cousin “Shadow” who just came for not one but several intense visits? A very good possibility, perhaps even a probability.

I’m confident that Carrcassonnee, now wedded with Head of Perch, has enough magic power to deflect any such attack, just like she dispatched Perch’s cousin a couple of days back. And Collagesity is sort of naturally fortified from invasion, with its narrow entrances at each pathway in. Never considered that before.

Hmmm again…

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nibiru_cataclysm

Astronomer Mike Brown notes that if this object’s orbit were as described, it would only have lasted in the Solar System for a million years or so before Jupiter expelled it, and that there is no way another object’s magnetic field could have such an effect on Earth.[33] Lieder’s assertions that the approach of Nibiru would cause the Earth’s rotation to stop or its axis to shift violate the laws of physics.

I just inserted a visitor counter script into the globe of the *Earth* at Town Hall. Collagesity (centered by this hall) = Earth/Earth’s Solar System?

Mention of [Lieder]hosen also found on the same table. Purposely misspelled?

Carrcassonnee consults with ambassadors from Pluto + Moon (jointly: Charon or Sharon, Moon of Pluto), about the visitor from Nibiru. Carr. correctly postulates that these 2 beings — one olive colored and jagged edged and the other red-violet and square-ish — are a similar two-in-one partnership like her and Head of Perch. She didn’t ask if they were likewise married to each other legally.

Carr.’s conclusions for now: Yes, Collagesity stands for Earth and its Solar System, and the Nibiru fellow an outsider looking in, a potential invader or dissenter at least. The latter is the specific word Dr. Hi (olive being) used to describe the interloper. Carr. realizes she is the manifestation of all unseen from Earth, beginning at Uranus (remembering the “up my bottom” joke from previous posts) and extending to at least Pluto. Uranus-Neptune-Pluto, then. So after thinking about it a bit more, Carr. realizes that the 2 visitors are merely manifestations of Perch and herself once more, split off for additional knowledge. So of course they’re married in that sense!

“Um, we, er, protect from the outside? *snort*”

My most popular blog post from the past week:

Nibiru Norubi agents checking up?

Another odd thing that happen today is when I was flying around the Rubi Forest through Baker Bloch about half of it disappeared, and the half next to Collagesity. A reboot solved the problem. Half Rubi and half No Rubi. In this manner, the tank and its driver appeared in the *Norubi* side of the sim.

1:21pm:

The guys from Pluto/Moon also suggested Carrcassonnee insert a fake giant robot (animated) into the heart of Collagesity, figuring the appearance of an already invaded town might deter any actual invasion by Norubians. “Wouldn’t hurt”, they jointly added.

Their inspiration:

… I kind of know who you are now, Carrcassonnee.”

Carr.:

Call me Big Carr. Not Little Carr. That’s my Spider (!)

bb:

When I first talked to you in Collagesity, in Noru, you told me not to fly up your bottom.

Carr.:

He he.

bb:

You are a glop being.

Carr.:

Yes. Alien.

bb:

You were specifically suppose to be born on this day, in this sim. Astrology. Hints all day — yet I could not see them.

Carr.:

You must work on memory. I can help. The Woods can help.

[10 minute pause to feed Spider his din din]

Carr.:

Now, where were we?

bb:

Um, I can’t remember (!)

Carr.:

Typical.

[1 hour later]

bb:

So that’s how you found Spider. But how did Redd Foxx know…

Carr. (interrupting):

I have a bad habit of interrupting.

bb:

He wanted to be remembered.

Carr.:

Yes.

bb:

This is how he could do it. He made an agreement…

Carr.:

With The Father. Not God The Father. Just The Father. The Father admired Redd. Place that in The Woods as well. Redd Foxx.

[20 minutes later]

Carr.:

The Star is bright. The Woods is shining. The. Each day it will get a bit stronger. Crosses the continent. And more. Shine a light all the way to the coast to the other coast. Space Ghost Coast to Coast.

bb:

It’s just Temple now. No choice.

Carr.:

Choice is over. Locked in.

Baker finds a scrap on the floor to feed Spider.

Searcher (planting ghost lights?).

Rubi Heartbird

Rubi turtle (Norubi?).

Aforementioned ghost lights. Baker’s seen them once before. Mysterious!

Heartbaby. Ready for launch!

Launched. Triple number setting sitting setting.

125 Tree. Arm dangling out.

Another tree on The Diagonal, a brown cypress this time.

Baker spots one of those floating, or, in this case, almost floating eucalyptus.

It wasn’t as much a shotgun wedding as a bazooka one. The instant the magic words were said and the 2 souls became one, body and head together, they set about with their increased powers to dispel the ultra-violent, pincushion head of a cousin from the village for good. Nick of time.

Some concerned town citizens, more cousins, just before the resolving, quickie wedding (they’d seen enough already)…

Hucka D.:

Someone has been to Collagesity recently. Shadow Man[ or Woman]. Baker Bloch saw its shadow from his new digs in the Norum Gallery. Mossman and his cousin Boss Moss cowered in the underground while he entered the [Red Umbrella’s] basement. Turns out Shadow was only looking for his own cousin: Perch. “Have you seen him?” Shadow queried the two moss beings. They understandably fled down the passage into the basement of the Fal Mouth Moon, but contact has been made, baker b. If we do not wed Head of Perch with Carrcassonnee soon enough then Shadow will steal the show. Your job is to figure out what he or she is and came from, and how to stop. Can you do this for me?

bb:

Sure, Hucka D. Do you want me to start tonight?

Hucka D.:

Tomorrow is fine. But make it early.

This weekend I worked on what could be considered the bookend galleries of Collagesity in the Rubi Museum (now merged with the Town Diner) on its southern boundary and the so-called “World of Collages” on the northern edge. I’ve basically completed all I can with both now.

World of Collages is a project that will always have a working end as you move upwards through the building. This particular gallery will feature guest collage artists whose work I respect and also display well, within the limitations of Second Life texture uploads. Right now we have a selection from “regulars” Kollage Kid and Kenneth Rougeau, but I’m on a search for more. And just to note here, the collage efforts of Julie Sadler are also in the village, housed in the Norum Gallery on its west side. I haven’t made a decision whether just to move her work into the World of Collages gallery or just leave it separate — or display it in both venues.

I haven’t mentioned this yet, but lately I’ve begun to create cutouts myself besides just buying freebies from the SL Marketplace. Exciting! Here we have Mossman and his cousin Boss Moss, plus Lisa Simpson. More on the way!

Then we come to the Rubi Museum inside the Town Diner. Now while you grab a quick bite to eat and drink when visiting Collagesity you also have something to stare at. Each prim supports two textures displayed as an animation, similar to what I did with the larger Noru Museum this past summer in that version of Collagesity. I’m quite pleased with the results. I’ve decided to focus exclusively on my VWX Town in Rubi from this past winter in the exhibit, instead of ranging out in an attempt to encompass all my stops in the Rubi area down through the years now. This tightening allowed me to fit the storyline into the Town Diner, and not have to use a separate, larger building like was the case in Noru.

On a break I also had time to take a quick trip to Heterocera’s west coast using one of the marvelous Yava Script pods.
