“It was this guy. Eating a piece of pie. Again. And again.”

1:57 in.

Pi/2130.

Conclusion:

I think Baker Bloch is into some deep dubious magic. He *caused* the earthquake. He sent his father away to safety beforehand. He “killed” the most vocal or at least the most verbose supporters of his arch-rival Starbuccaneer Barista. Actually he simply wished them away to Pieland, which turned out to be just on the other side of Collagesity, unfortunately for him. They were found. They told their story. Now the whole election is up in the air again. Celebration festivities basically cancelled except for the Twister Party in the basement of Fal Mouth Moon. Everyone in town loves twister! Baker Bloch has set up a press conference at 09:00 tomorrow in an attempt to explain. Mulder thinks he’s onto the secret, but Scully remains skeptical. Spider keeps spouting out the same 4 numbers in different combinations. It’s mayhem again in Collagesity. Some are beginning to believe that the earthquake never happened, and that Baker Bloch tampered with the town’s water system. Hallucinogenics we’re talking about here. Space Ghost will arrive soon to publically beat and humiliate son Baker with his beating cane. Starbuccaneer Barista waits patiently in the 2130 Corridor, biding her time. It’s up to the townspeople to realize that Baker Bloch didn’t really do any of this, good or bad. His *user* (i.e., me) did. It’s up to them.

Baker Bloch, riding his success in recent efforts to save lives/property in the aftermath of Collagesity’s devastating earthquake, has been elected official Town Mayor for a first second term. Way to go Baker! Primary rival Starbuccaneer Barista is said to have gone into exile, perhaps disappearing into the ultra-mysterious Corridor 2130 of the Confluence Place. Baker Bloch’s dog Spider has been found (thanks Furry Karl!). Baker’s father Space Ghost remains lost in Sunklands, but at least he was out of harm’s way during the earthquake. Celebrations will continue into the weekend, we’re told.

Baker gets his hat bent in the celebration mayhem.

I wanted to update as quickly as possible here because I know some of you have loved ones involved. Baker Bloch basically has the situation in hand. All galleries have reopened, but the Coolie Building and Noru Museum remains closed for now. No new fatalities discovered. Almost all citizens are accounted for. Baker Bloch’s dog Spider remains missing. If you see Spider please im Baker Bloch inworld.

Baker Bloch lowering the terrain in his room and temporarily getting trapped in the excavation as a result. He’s okay.

A new hillock has appeared in the far west of Collagesity.

Local scientists have theorized that the quake’s epicenter was about where Baker is standing.

It is my sad duty to report that Baker Bloch has just uncovered the bodies of two well known Collagesity residents: FBI agents Dana Scully and Fox Mulder, who were last seen just outside the historic Orange House vocally campaigning for mayoral candidate Starbuccaneer Barista. Long rest their souls.

Hopefully this is the last of the earthquake fatalities I’ll have to post about on this blog.

Dana Scully (1964-2014)

Fox Mulder (1961-2014)

… has hit Collagesity this night. Baker Bloch, with his significant terraforming powers, is working diligently to dig out the townspeople and their inundated buildings and return the land to its former levels. The diner is back open, but several galleries remain closed. Some fronts and corners of buildings have been suspended in the air. No fatalities or significant injuries have been reported thankfully. Baker will attempt to restore the rest of the town to full operating order asap.

Gallery BOB and Baker’s apartment in back remain inaccessible.

All citizens spared, even the ones we didn’t really care about one way or the other.

He just wanted a place to sleep away from work. Hucka Doobie’s his new landlord, but Hucka’s set him up pretty good now (!)

Meanwhile Spider has been “penned in” on the top level of the Confluence Place just next door. Baker Bloch is devising a ramp system so that the mutt can move freely between the apartment penthouse and the Confluence Place. Later this same ramp system would be used for something else. Something else entirely.

Baker Bloch’s rounded up some friends to keep Spider company…

… and renamed the top floor in the process: Dogpatch. But not Dogpatch, USA. That’s different.

“It wasn’t just a dream!”

Starbucanneer Barista and he agree to enter together.

Then forget afterwards if needed.

It could be needed.

Meanwhile Carrcassonnee appears to be even more absent as the town diner’s Head of Perch acquires 2 eyes again. The lasting influence of the former seems to be her protective and shielding olive encasement, which townspeople simply call The Olive or, more recently, just “Olive”. “Yes, that’s the head of Carrcassonnee still there,” they also state if asked. Most of them have visited the large green being for oracle-type advise. Most have learned their past roles — nay, past *lives* in Tired Falls, and about the mass acre. “There was a battle between the Grays and the Browns,” says newer town resident Furry Karl, who visited Carrcassonnee on his birthday via a gift certificate purchased by his Uncle Bob. “A slaughter occurred, yes. I was there.” Ranger Johns is even more forthcoming. “They stabbed me with a giant fork. You’ve seen the spoon down at the diner, right? Well, it was like that.” I asked him if he was dreaming at the time. “I wish!” came the response. Dona and twin spirit Flower were likewise frank. “Perch had his bowling alley, and they just came from the North and started eating people right and left, just scooping them up like they were food for thought or discussion instead of food period.” Rodin’s 2 dimensional Thinker was also present. “I was just sitting there minding my own business when one of them came up and ask me the time of day. I thought about it some and he just whacked me over the head with a bowling pin. Then, well, then he ate part of my head. I didn’t think as well afterward.” I asked Rodin’s 2 dimensional Thinker if they ate and killed everyone in town. “No just 3. There were only 18 of us.” He didn’t seem to want to speak about it further. Ranger Johns said he saw it all from Drunk Man’s Ridge, where he was hiding out under a rock as a child. Biker Jones said he was vacationing in Italy at the time, and missed the whole thing. “I came back and basically nothing was left except the falls and Perch’s store and the bowling alley and the Kidd Tower. Oh, and Orange Home… that’s where your father lived, Baker Bloch. Sorry about your father.” Later I learned that the buildings he listed as being saved were, if fact, the only ones ever in the village anyway, and that no structures were harmed… only people… avatars. Most also remember when Perch first came riding into town on his dog Spider. A few said that’s nonsense and that he was riding his horse. A horse named Spider. One even remembers the story as Perch riding a giant spider named Horse, or Horsie to be more precise. While I was talking to the village people I also snuck in a few remarks about the upcoming mayoral election. “Who you gonna vote for?” Most didn’t like me combining politics and tragedy. Lesson learned. My head still hurts from one of the bowling pins.

“Maybe this Chilbo related painting will keep Head of Perch away,” the perpetually beer guzzling Baker Bloch thinks hopefully. Little does he know the wheels already set in motion this day.
