Logged in tonight and found out cheapest parcels in Second Life available on mainland were right next to the Rubi Forest. So I abandoned my Noru parcel and bought ’em. I feel like I’ve come home. There’s some regrets, true. But… like the title says, what could I do? I haven’t developed my Noru property, really, since August. And I can sell the land and make a profit this time I’m sure. So, yes, I feel good about this heading into the winter season. We’ll see what develops!

Well, Karoz brainstormed for hours while Patty guarded the door to House Orange. “They’re going to have to know sooner than later what this college is all about,” she urges. “They’re buying books and food and drink and taking train rides, but they don’t understand the point.” Karoz bursts through the phantom, orange door. “Eureka, we’ll go Potter on them. We’ll invent our own sport like Quidditch. And we’ll divide the college itself into four sub-colleges and have them play *each other*. Brilliant — yeah?” He knew they couldn’t just play Quidditch itself — had to be something new. Something related to TILE, he then realized in another moment of inspiration. “Red, green, yellow, blue, like the Fighting Marbles. Marbles Fall… Marble Falls. Dogpatch. Billy Ray Cyrus.” He was word associating. Patty Pepper Mint just stood there, arms folded. “Curriculum?!” she thought so loudly that he actually heard it. But Karoz had backed into the truth. The college had to be based on TILE and a related game or games. Pupils had to “get marbled”.
That better be it for tonight!

One more thing. Story Room wrote a quick reply to this post, saying that it’s obvious they should head 3 of the 4 sub-colleges, and Karoz the 4th. It was all heading in this direction all along. Red, blue, yellow. They even suggested some names for the 4 subs: Moss, Rope, Tongue, and Chalk. “I’ll take Rope,” Steptoe said. “Tongue for me,” the talkative Oskar Robert’s Son offered. “Left with Chalk, I suppose,” the shy Chuck or Charlie chipped in. “And of course you’re Moss,” they said in basic unison to Karoz. Karoz woke up.

… it might be Noru that I’m keeping. Revisions also made there today, and also an offer on the Hector land.
Newest developments in Noru, thus:
Kidd Tower positioned beside Tired Falls.
Waterfall building beside Power Tower Gowlery, soon to be moved and recombined with the then current Noru Museum into a new, larger structure. Nifty.

7/2/2014:
What turned out to be some last shots of my Hector property. Noru has been chosen as of day before yesterday. I think I made the right choice. But look… so beautiful in Hector next to those woods (sigh).
Noru Museum straight ahead. Always a kind of awkward fit in Hector. I see that plainly now; couldn’t when I created these pics.
Backdoor. Will miss that nifty collection of interestingly aligned Celtic stones as well.

… the significance of the White Tower, Hucka D.?”
Hucka D.:
Color tower in Rubi. White in Noru. You will lose this tower if you sell or abandon Noru? The White Tower, yes, has a history.
bb:
Can you talk about it?
Hucka D.:
The White Tower…

… is a copy of VWX’s VWX Tower, a paler version. Noru imported it. (pause)
bb:
I think you want to say Noru wished to establish its own identity from Rubi, but at the same time borrowing or importing its energy, as you said.
Hucka D.:
There are probability forks. You choose Noru. You choose Rubi. Not a huge deal in the future but one or the other paths will be selected, and all the probabilities that shoot off from that main probability.
bb:
Like tree branches. I can select one tree or another. Or one trunk or another of the same tree.
Hucka D.:
Let’s make it the same tree. My Second Lyfe.
bb:
The only…
Hucka D.:
The only way Rubi and Noru can survive is together.
bb:
And another option would be to cut down the tree. My Second Lyfe.
Hucka D.:
Or keep the whole tree and follow *both* trunks. But you can’t do that. You have to choose.
bb:
(checking forecast) Looks like it’s going to rain a considerable amount this weekend.
Hucka D.:
Yup. Choose.

Drunk Man’s Ridge. No real topographic feature in Hector to match this.
But Hector is just across part of the forest from Tower of TILE. I can *play around* with the surrounding property again if I choose this direction.
What say you Furry Carl?
Nevermind.

Apparently I have chosen: I’m going to keep the 8192 parcel in Hector, next to the beautiful and unique Rubi Woods. Turns out this was a last, nostalgic visit to Noru at least. Prime time Jeogeot will now become more the stuff of legends, to be analyzed in years to come. It is directly attached to Whitehead Crossing. There’s still some energy in Rubi thanks to the woods. And Heterocera’s VHC Town is a more important urban center now than Parktown and Chilbo put together probably. And it’s on The Diagonal that also crosses Rubi and its forest. Setting up some kind of Sylver Forest Council is next, most likely. This could be my last SL home.
The movement away from Jeogeot starting in Dec. 2012 likely cannot be reversed. I chose Heterocera at the time (Sikkima). I’ve been chosing Heterocera for almost the year and a half since. I’m following in line.
The Hector parcel is not VWX Town reincarnated. I must study individual buildings. I believe another version of the TILE Temple might be next, at least originating as a skybox creation.

Things seem to be swinging in the opposite direction now. Noru Museum, when completed, will be capstone of my experience in that sim. Parktown and Chilbo are still around, but reduced. Nothing left in Noru, essentially, except for what I’m building. No chance to expand beyond what I have, really, because of mandatory and necessary tier cost cap. Can’t expand to 1/4th sim any longer except for a month or 2 at most. Actually, no need to now. VWX Town, Rubi was a peak in that respect. And VHX City in Heterocera is still a viable force, unlike Chilbo, really (or Parktown). Now must study the *history* of Jeogeot. Nothing in Noru — but the Rubi Forest is still in Rubi and directly next to my Hector lot. Might even put up my Noru parcel for sale tonight or in the next couple of days. Take Hector/Rubi off the market.

Related pictures; the mossman, not surprisingly, isn’t there any longer.
Here’s a map pinpointing the former location:
