Deleted the Temple of TILE and then the Toxic Art Gallery from Hector. Remaining labyrinth on bottom floor of temple didn’t seem to fit landscape, so I deleted it as well. Strengths of Hector remain the rock alignments (13 now) and proximity to the unique Rubi Forest. These are more emphasized now. And I have over 1000 prims to play around with… what to do with *those*? Seems a complex skybox project is in order — *if* I choose this property over Noru.

Tire also deleted from Tired Falls.

Rubi’s admittedly still in the mix. How can I give up land next to the forest that I so wanted to live near again?

Hucka D.:

What are the advantages and disadvantages of each? List them out.

Hi Hucka D.! Well, Rubi’s obviously the land next to the Rubi Forest. Big plus for it. Noru has land bordering abandoned land where I can play around with the neighboring properties more. The Noru stream seems prettier, and there’s a better fit for House Orange beside it compared to Rubi. I’ve really developed (on the other hand) the Rubi/Heterocera mythology in the last year and a half. I’ve left alone Jeogeot, Noru and Sunklands. I [virtually] left New Pietmond in Dec. 2012 or Jan. 2013 and came to Sikkima, a sink hole close to Rubi and probably within the bounds of the ancient Sylver Forest, Hucka. I haven’t been in Noru since summer 2011, and then only briefly. Noru peaked summer 2010 for certain. Chilbo energy has greatly receded in the meantime. I was playing off that town’s energy in creating the Norum mythology. Especially concerning the Norum Forest and the Blue Feather Gallery within. I probably can’t return to Sunklands — way too de-energized there. Noru/Norum is de-energized but Chilbo is still around. I could delve more into its history. The Norum cup may not be dry.

Hucka D.:

Well there you go. Stay in Noru. It’s not that huge of a deal either way. What about the buildings? The same structures basically lie on both properties. You’ve created duplicates.

bb:

Temple of TILE is in Hector. Norum Museum is instead being set up in its place in Noru. That’s a major difference so far. I couldn’t fit all the Noru related pictures in the old museum with the waterfalls.

Hucka D.:

Would you miss the Temple if you gave it up?

bb:

Probably.

Hucka D.:

So a plus for Hector. Talk to me about the Noru waterfall.

bb:

It’s pretty. Prettier than Hector’s version. Better view. Better placement of House Orange beside it[ as already stated].

The waterfall’s top represents a place that is more of a logical combination of the 3 water flows. (pause) The floating rock is unique to Noru — that’s right above the conjunction we speak of.

Hucka D.:

Hmmm.

bb:

That in turn is directly west of the rock in front of the Toxic Art Gallery. And it is as if the toxic spill from the gallery lands in one rock and comes out the other. Teleportation maybe; vortex.

5 of the celtic rocks line up in Hector, 4 in Noru. Then the floating rock starts another line of 3 rocks in a different direction — northeast. This is similar to Hector again, with 3 rocks lining up apart from the 5. The central rock of each set of 3 is most associated with the water flow.

Hucka D.:

Don’t you think those rocks represent portals? Like the Spoon Fork Portals?

bb:

Might be.

Hucka D.:

[This] is the 4th portal. Smallest. Least powerful overall. Framing it are 2 and 1 Portals. Then the portal or rock in front of the Toxic Art Gallery, which accepts the toxic waste and then spits it out through the neighboring rock, is the primary portal for the Mossmen. The way they reached Whitehead Crossing through the Korean Channel.

Well, I think it’s about decided that the Hector property bordering the Rubi Forest will win out long term over the Noru property. I have a sign for what appears to be a traditional and perhaps ancient entrance to the place (Collagesity)…

This main thoroughfare, starting at the northern edge of the parcel, runs deep to the south, somewhat narrowing in the process and kind of petering out toward the end of the Norris Building.

Baker Bloch sits in his House Orange, seeming to examine one of the newly inserted Celtic Rocks of Collagesity. There are 7 total of these stones, and perhaps Collagesity was once known as 7 Stones itself because of this. Were there more at one time? Have any been removed?

Same rock, looking toward the Toxic Art Gallery.

5 of the 7 stones line up with each other along what is mostly an open, lateral passage. They are also basically equidistant with one another. The remaining 2 stones, both of which are pictured in the photos above this, line up with the 4th of these 5 stones counting east to west. I’ll make an associated map asap.

Rubi’s VWX Town’s multi-eye sculpture has also been revived in Collagesity. The central art kiosk of the village appears on a northern wall of the Toxic Art Gallery beside it. Central location; at the crossroads of its two main passages.

Easternmost stone of the 5 that line up with each other, also doubling as a type of cornerstone for what might become the Village Hall. Nice.

The Power Tower Gowlery has now made a successful transition from Noru to Hector. Hector’s Collagesity is in place, with still deepening mythology. What is the relationship of Collagesity with Rubi’s nearby VWX Town on the south side of the same forest? How about the short lived version of VWX Town on the *northern* side of the forest from last summer, across Robin Lane? Now I’m on the west side. I wonder if Hucka D. wishes to talk today?

Hucka D.:

7 Stones is an original name. You must coordinate between the villages surrounding the forest, which is actually[ a remnant of] the Sylver Forest. Always keep that in the back of your heart head.

bb:

Who made or inserted those stones, Hucka D.?

Hucka D.:

Giants.

bb:

Sylver Forest giants.

Hucka D.:

Yeah. Yes.

bb:

There was…

Hucka D.:

There was a hole between Rubi and Noru. You’ve encountered this before.

Further thoughts:

The new village is not a town per se, and also not VWX Town. It is a village called a “sity”, however, but an unincorporated village, we’ll say, unlike, especially, Rubi’s larger VWX Town. But all of the structures of Collagesity were also in VWX Town — except the Fal Mouth Moon was not filled with the Falmouth collage series like it is now. That’s obviously the main difference. Even the crystals appeared first in Rubi’s VWX Town. Now I must develop the Norris Building. Is it a gallery or a temple or neither or both? What is the historic significance of Baker Bloch’s House Orange — an original cottage of the village?

So let’s say the Fal Mouth Moon, the Power Tower Gowlery, and even the Toxic Art Gallery are the newer structures, and House Orange is older. Also the stream it sits beside is old — an original property spring. Was Toxic Falls added later? (probably). It could be that the rock beside House Orange and also leaning over this stream is the original property rock. Maybe the 5 stones were added later, and then a 7th beside the Norris Building to complete.

The very thick part of the woods along the whole southern boundary of the property also inspires historic thinking. Was the whole Rubi Forest once so thickly treed? Collagesity trees represent a small extension of the Rubi Forest into the ancient Sylver Forest. I didn’t really have this in Rubi’s VWX Town for some reason. Keep in mind that the property below mine was bought just beforehand, and the thick vegetation of the southern part was created to separate our two living spaces.

Collagesity’s thickly treed southern boundary (left), anchored by 3 large brown cypresses. We also see here the 6 green cypresses of the Rubi Forest’s “House Formation” (center) and also the Bull’s Head’s 7 (smaller) brown cypresses (right).

Rubi’s Tower of TILE: still there!

Hucka D. is now indicating, I believe, that the 7 stones came first and there were more lined across the ancient Sylver Forest.
