I don’t want to infer that the period between August 2008 and February 2016 was completely barren of activity for me. It wasn’t. In 2010 I went to England (!). The whole family did, as chronicled in both the abridged and unabridged versions of the “Baker Bloch Goes To England” document. This is where a fundamental split in my psyche occurred, obviously an important event. Part of me, a big chuck of my being, *stayed* in England, along with alternate versions of Baker Bloch and Hucka Doobie, even. But it was even a bigger thing for me than the others who went.
“How did we get there?” is another question I’m sometimes asked by My Second Lyfe friends and acquaintances. In March 2010, or maybe it was in February, Baker Bloch found a portal in central Jeogeot (continent) connecting England and Second Lyfe, specially the part of England physically and psychically attached to the small river called Key in Wiltshire County there. Our first dwelling place in England for Other Baker, Hucka, and myself was located on Coxhill Farm near the river. It had a giant hole in the roof. Hucka Doobie and I were not happy with the choice Baker Bloch made for us. Soon we were inhabiting the much more spiffy and modern Cresent House in Cherhill, also in Wiltshire County but more toward the center, where all the crop circle activity has pivoted around for so many years now. That’s another thing Baker Bloch especially wanted to study while “up” there. So he was constantly biking with his Arcadia Asylum product around England, and went a lot to The Barge, for instance, a hotbed for crop circle gossip. Or so he thought.
But we weren’t done moving around the county. Next stop, and a more permanent and lasting one (as I said, a big chunk of me is *still there*) was the Arcadia Mansion (no relation to Arcadia Asylum that I recall) owned by King Karb and his wife, who we just called The Queen during all our stay there. The Queen and I became great friends. We played croquette constantly out on the back lawn of the mansion, although I never beat her at any aspect of the game — never came close. Although Baker Bloch and I aren’t really human, the King and Queen were obviously alien in origin, with little to no human genes involved. If pressed, I would consider myself 1/4th alien on my mother’s side. There are no pink skinned human species that I know of. That comes from somewhere else.
“Where Baker, where?” I hear my friends and supporters ask, once more. We’ll get to that. Our stay in England ended shortly after the King and Queen visited nearby Swinden for a bit, then came back in a different mood, let’s say. The King retreated to his basement study. He was preparing for the new crop circle season, the Queen said. He supposedly helped *create* them. When a keyhole shaped crop circle shortly formed in a Wiltshire rape seed field we knew our time in England was done. Soon we were back in Second Lyfe’s Jeogeot, and a new chapter in Noru.

Nautilus continent related links on the Baker Blinker Blog (2008-2012) and Sunklands Blog (2012-present):
https://bakerblinker.wordpress.com/category/nautilus-continent/
https://bakerbloch.com/category/second-life/nautilusphilo/
In the Sunklands blog, this category includes information on Nautilus City. For the Baker Blinker Blog, NC was considered separate from the proximate continent.
Almost half of the BB Blog posts with Nautilus continent as a subject deal with the Austra peninsula, especially Lower Austra centered by what I now call Mystenopolis, a basically dormant berg however (nothing new there for Second Life), but bustling in its day, probably around 2006-2009 our time. The other half basically illuminate the neighboring Yd Island. These are the last two settled regions of the Nautilus continent (if you exclude Nautilus City), with Yd Island being the final area populated.
The Ratzenberger sim on the west side of Yd Island, directly above Nautilus City island and about the same size, is widely considered the beginning of *Lemon* Lab’s Second Life as opposed to Linden (Limey) Lab’s 2002 start in the sim of Da Boom. We believe that Ratzenberger is a kind of mirror sim for the latter, and founded about the same “time”. The name of this virtual reality is Lemon World — or perhaps World of Lemon. It truly exists, although in some kind of alternate dimension and originating from an *alien* source instead of a terrestrial one, radiating outwards from the opposite direction as our Second Life, in effect.
This Oct 2009 post brings first mention of Ratzenberger to the BB Blog, along with first mention of Yd Island as a whole. I now know from a more recently discovered map (top of present post) that Yd Island may also have been known as the Isle of Babylon.
The region of Lower Astra (or what might just have been called Astra at the time), was about 2x the size of either Yd Island or Nautilus City isle. It appears immediately west of them, and extends as a longer peninsular from the center of Nautilus continent. In the center of this peninsula, as stated before, was and still kind of is Mystenopolis.
Leemington and Yello sims at the top of (Lower) Astra, according to Hucka D., are trace names of Lemon Lab/Lemon World influence. Like a yellow lemon.
Another link about Da Boom and the emergence of Second Life from Linden World.
Some people have compared the name Da Boom to the Big Bang of Second Life, the beginning ylem seed from which all expanded. This would be correct, although its name, along with others of the 16 original SL sims, actually comes from alleyways surrounding the original Linden Lab location in San Francisco.
How, then, is Ratzenberger a twin to Da Boom, as Lemon World/World of Lemon is a corresponding mirror reality to Second Life? It exists in a dimension going backwards from us according to our flow of time. This was obviously set up by the aliens, whoever they are.
In Nov 2009, resident blog spirit and wise guy Hucka D. begins to compare the layout of Second Life’s 6 major mainland continents (subtracting the later, unfinished Gaeta — another story there) to these 6 differently colored pie pieces of the trivia pursuit board game, with each standing for a particular subject matter within the game such as history, geography, arts and entertainment, and so on.
We later found out that there is a direct lineup of newer continents in what we can call the eastern hemisphere with older ones from the western hemisphere as follows:
Heterocera (western/old) to Corsica (eastern/new)
Sansara (western/old) to Nautilus (eastern/new)
Jeogeot (western/old) to Maebaleia (eastern/new)
This would also correspondend to their north-south relationship within each hemisphere. That is, both Corsica and Heterocera are the northernmost continents of their respective hemispheres, Sansara and Nautilus are in the middle, and Jeogeot and Maebaleia lie to the south.
Hucka D. even gives them colors:
Heterocera: orange
Sansara: brown
Jeogeot: green
Maebaleia: yellow
Nautilus: pink
Corsica: blue
To give a prominent example of the links, it was found by me in August 2009 there existed a *rabbit hole* style portal connecting Jeogeot and Maebaleia — rather shocking at the time — and also linked back to the last created *carrcass* (as they’re called now), or what is more commonly known to the outside world as an audiovisual synchronicity. I can now say this synchronicity is named “Uncle Meatwad.” The number 47 (or 41) was found next to the hole on the Maebaleia side. “Uncle Meatwad” features a Room 47 inhabited by 3 rabbits, 2 of the female persuasion and 1 male. What times are it?

Celebration
It may not be now, but soon. But it also may be quite soon. The end of my existence inside the game of Second Life. Energy there is dipping even lower. Mainland is a wasteland (Maisteland).
What popped into my head right now was to release a “book” about my Second Life adventures starting in 2008, arranged either geographically or chronologically. If the former, then it will be by continent (Sansara, Heterocera, Jeogeot, Maebaleia, Nautilus, Corsica). If the latter — as I recall the Baker Blinker Blog can be broken down into large chucks consisting of 8 months apiece, but I’ll have to separate non-Second Life stuff from it.
Since the beginning of the current blog (Frank and Herman/Sunklands) in Aug 2012, I’ve focused heavily on Heterocera, with briefer stays in Jeogeot as follows:
1) Fall, 2012: last incarnation of Pietmond in New Pietmond, Otaki Gorge, with the community then shifting over to Sikkima near the Great Rubi Forest;
2) Summer/Fall 2014: first incarnation of Collagesity in Noru, with the community, once again, shifted over to a location next to the Great Rubi Forest, where it remains.
So that’s two stays in Jeogeot, and in the sims I was most familiar with from previous years (Noru and Otaki Gorge). Then the rest in Heterocera, basically, with more minor stops in Nautilus’ Mysten, for instance (June, 2015), and Corsica’s Asha (Winter 2013/14).
But these 2 Jeogeot stops are quite important because they helped me essentially seal up stories of this most important Second Life continent to me, where I developed a virtual town in Pietmond for the first time. Pietmond is the model for all else to come. And it’s positioned within the Sunklands region, which represent the most important overall area I existed within Second Life, or the most advanced. And then Noru (and attached Chilbo community) forms a second important Jeogeot story, a balance and counterpoint to Sunklands. More minor Jeogeot concentrations are positioned around these two, like Teepot (central northern Jeogeot) and others.
Maybe I should just create a book about Jeogeot.

The Macrohole revisited
OK, maybe this: Sapphire was born as Turquoise on Yd Island, but protected by high wall of Macrohole, where VILEness couldn’t be with her. The macrohole was “switched on” somehow, creating a worm hole to Jeogeot, which VILEness fell into. This was again north of Yd Island. 10 > 6 > 3 > 1 (C>Y>V>T). VILEness coated the hole. Made it safe for others to pass through (?) That was the whole point of the experience. A travellable black hole formed on Jeogeot at the same time the Korean Channel was formed. This would be created by the 3 Mos Ainsley related sims almost surrounding the Black Hole. Many people came from Yd Island and the eastern hemisphere as a whole through that hole to Jeogeot, including Sapphire and her parents/aunt-uncle. Nathaneil realized parallel of Meddletown with Meddledown.

The Life (and Death?) of Wappo Jack.
Interesting. I forgot that I had already compared the stories of Wappo Jack and Jesus of Nazareth in this August 2014 Collagesity related post called “Numerologists’ 04”, specifically bringing up Jesus’ missing “middle story.” It’s like a game of golf where you tee up on a par 5 and drive the ball but always then find yourself on the green putting. There’s no middle game (ironing).
In that post it’s also elucidated that W. Jack may have a particular fascination with Carrcassonnee, at least in her giant form (to match his own giant form). But I also speculated the fixation could be rooted in jealousy.
At any rate, we now know that *Baby* Wappo Jack is the product of a pink eyed Grey-like alien and a screaming or laughing woman — actually I think it’s a laughing woman — who appears to have curlers in her hair and not pink eyes per se, but still a pink swath of color running across both at once. Baby Wappo seems to take after his mom a little more than his father, even having the same blue-green colored eyes. But at the same time, his pink color might be a tad closer in shade to that of dear old dad’s hot pink. Taking it all in, there’s little doubt that he’s their Kidd.
Kidd Jack and Kidd Tower.
I’m also recalling in looking at posts from my old blog that Wappo Jack use to hover, Christ-like if you will, above Pietmond for a while in late 2011 and perhaps into early 2012.
What goes around, comes around, I suppose. I purchased both big and little versions of Wappo Jack at the Cheosan Building located in, logically enough, the Cheosan sim of the Jeogeot continent. Both are the creation of Zerozoxx Binder. As Baker Bloch is checking as I write, Zerozoxx’s strangely cool Cheosan Building is still standing in that sim.
I found the ordinary sized Wappo Jack from Outer Space within and bought a couple of extra copies while I was there.
But I couldn’t locate Big Wappo Jack until I went back outside and looked up. There you are! Bought some more of him too: 15 Lindens apiece.
To finish off the story about the Cheosan Building, I also included a picture of it in the now retired “Jeogeot Through Art & Word” exhibit, paired there with a picture of another odd building that use to exist in that same sim: The Gallery Shaped Like a Woman by long time SL resident and artist Earl Dinkin.
Quoting…
https://bakerbloch.wordpress.com/2012/11/20/x-spot-gallery-wing-02b/
More twinning: 2 unusual galleries from the same sim of Cheosan, although no relationship between the two that I know of. To the left we have “The Gallery Shaped Like a Woman” masterminded by Earl Dinkins. To the right is the plainly named Cheosan Building, which is not plain atall within or without.
And I also should clarify here that Wappo Jack isn’t really dead now, and wasn’t sent to hell by the Big Man Upstairs for impersonating his son Jesus in a most improper way. Actually, Jesus of Nazareth now realizes something very very important about he and Jack through the synchronicity of their similar size in largest Mystenopolis scale. He thinks that he and Jack… well, I better save that controversial topic for another post. Soon!

Collagesity Update
Baker enjoys the view at Lake Hans Loso on the Jeogeot continent. A small town has sprung up along its southern shores, which includes a couple of art galleries. Will Baker become a new resident?
But he still has Minoa’s Collagesity, neglected for a number of weeks now.
There’s life again in the town’s growing edge gallery: Red Umbrella. A new collage series is taking root. Will the pieces within number 10 again, like with the last 2 such series?
“Hucka D., if you’re ready I think we should talk about collage 02/03 already, just to get a bearing on what’s to come. So Hucka D. (pause) Hucka?”
Hucka D.:
Here.
bb:
Let’s take the left side first. This would be Collage 02 I suppose.
Hucka D.:
You have a Celina, Ohio woman, an artist prim and proper, inserting an eye into a yin/yang spherical symbol called the Taijitu. The iris of the eye is yellow. It is suppose to be a fish eye. [One of] the 4 Residents from the other side of the diptych has a yellow eye as well. He looks down [at Drink], while the other Residents look across[ or toward]. The yellow eye in the Taijitu looks up as opposed to down. This is the same eye.
The general setting for both collages is a cascade area just behind your present house in Blue Mountain. This is the first time in a collage of yours that you’ve included a location so close to your home. Yet you haven’t been down there in years, have you?
bb:
2 or 3 at least.
Hucka D.:
It’s time to go back.
bb:
Okay.
Hucka D.:
Anyway, that’s the location. Baker Bloch is positioned on a rock in front of the falls, arms extended. His right hand almost touches the head of the Celina woman artist who holds the big yellow eye. Below her is another picture of the same artist, hard at working painting other stuff, namely Easter related stuff. She has just finished a purple egg and is working on a blue one. We see the same purple and blue egg popsicles to the far left of the collage, which would be the wild, wild west as well.
bb:
Alright.
Hucka D.:
Aquaman[ with his Trident Streams] *use* to be there, standing on the blue egg. Presently it’s Superman positioned there instead. A bunny stands between the 2 eggs, waving merrily at passer bys. He’s a happy Easter bunny. He (or she) and Superman stand the same way.
Another bunny is directly below. It’s a reclining Bugs Bunny from the popular Warner Brothers cartoon series, uttering his most famous line: “What’s Up Doc?”. This is the same name as an important variant album by The Residents standing on rocks in the other half of the overall work. This is *their* bunny. Questions?
bb:
“What’s Up Doc” by The Residents Variants has been used recently in Carrcass-10, Hucka D. And more recently *Chuck* has come to see me. We walked the Bunny Trail over at Frank Park while he was here, talking about audiovisual synchronicities such as Carrcass-10 in the main. I counted 19 rungs on the bridge crossing the brook emptying from Bunny Pond. This is the same as the number of tracks off “What’s Up Doc?”.
Hucka D.:
I hear he has uncovered a body.
bb:
That could be so. At any rate, he’s treating the situation like there’s a body in his back side yard. I suppose there are bodies buried all over the place, especially in ancient places like Europe.
Hucka D.:
Uerope.
bb (looking again):
Big Bob is also in Collage 02, or at least part of his head, including the mouth. The mouth just touches the Celina woman’s head. What’s her name?
Hucka D.:
Marge. Or Jeffries.
bb:
Hmmm.
Hucka D.:
Short for Margerine. Butter isn’t better in this case.
bb:
Good to know.
Hucka D.:
Big Bob is desparately trying to speak[ to Marge]. Buttering her up?
bb:
Dunno, Hucka D. (looks again) It’s his eye she’s holding, after all.
Hucka D.:
He wishes to become whole. Yin and yang together. Taijitu. I like saying that.
bb:
You’re slurring the word, however. Just an observation.
Hucka D.:
I slur a lot of words.
bb:
Anyway, on the right side of Collage 02 we have several images of Superman, with one inverted in color. This brings him quite close to the colors of his colleague in crime fighting: Aquaman. I guess one could say that Superman rules the skies and Aquaman the seas.
Hucka D.:
Correct. Emotions.
bb:
He’s helping free Richard Prior from the rocks in Collage 03. He then flies him away to safety[ in the blue skies]. In a recent blog post I compared Superman to the “I” of TILE and Prior to the “y” of complementary Tyle.
Hucka D.:
That is correct again. Emotions.
bb:
Accompanying inverted Superman at the right hand top is a mashup of Fairuza Balk and Megan Follows, who played Anne Shirley and Dorothy Gale respectively. They’re in character here. Fairuza wears Megan’s hat — borrows her carrot colored pigtails for a bit.
Hucka D.:
That’s Red Head of course. Your new space. Have you built the Cabin yet?
bb:
Not yet.
Hucka D.:
It’s already there[ anyway]. You can see it if you try.
bb:
Interesting. Inverted Superman kind of covers the awkward section of the mashup of the two girls, Hucka D. [One of] his colors matches the orange hat of Anne. The orange ray from the flag in Collage 03 emits towards this hat as well. Orange points to orange. That’s the flag of Mercer County, which has Celina as the county seat. It is the rainbow. Minus one color.
Hucka D.:
Indigo.
bb:
Could be.
Hucka D.:
The I’s have it.
bb:
I suppose they could.
Hucka D.:
Superman rescues Prior from the Past. He becomes not Prior but Present. This is rescuing a past self, locked in the rocks of time. Drink is the jailkeeper. He holds the keys. He’s a bad ass.
bb:
He looks the role.
Hucka D.:
Stay away from Drink. He’ll bad ass you.
bb (nonplussed):
I will.
—–
Hucka D.:
Drink’s straw points down and Prior’s arm points up a bit. They’re very similarly shaped — too much so. They are one in their opposite directions. Red and blue. Obvious. Good work, baker b.
bb:
Thanks. Of course I didn’t do it.
Hucka D.:
Yes you did. Well… yes and no.
bb:
Thanks once more.
Hucka D.:
Then there’s reclining Baker Blinker whose lower part is hidden by the rocks at the cascade. She *is* the cascades. She balances mate Baker Bloch in the left half of the diptych, standing on his rock. This is archetypal male and female energies as well. Taijitu. How’s that?
bb:
Still slurred.
Hucka D.:
Awww. But Baker Blinker is obviously meant to compare to Bugs Bunny on Baker Bloch’s side of the overall work. Both recline. Both are propping themselves up with their right arm and elbow. Is Baker Blinker mimicking Bugs?
bb:
Not sure.
Hucka D.:
Anyway, we know all about the curse of Baker Blinker by Drink from early in the Baker Blinker Blog — her blog. You have your own blog now. Baker Bloch Blog.
bb:
That’s Frank and Herman, Einstein!, yes. The Baker Blinker Blog is my first blog, from 2008-2012. Just adding that in for more comprehension on the part of the reader or readers.
Hucka D.:
You will have a 3rd blog. Then you will be a Whitehead in Da Woods.
bb:
Retired.
Hucka D.:
Yes. You will be surprised. I can’t say stuff.
bb:
Go on.
Hucka D.:
The small cottage to the far left of Collage 03 is currently positioned on a rock in Harrisonia, on the same creek that contains this cascade here but further upstream. About a mile upstream I’m estimating. The stream itself is named Harrison… George Harrison. George Harrison Creek in full. It’s source comes from Herman Park. The source is protected. Harrisonia is not protected. These cascades are *not* protected.
bb:
No. Not at all.
Hucka D.:
The cottage on the rocks here is also the cottage you will build in Red Head when you become a Whitehead.
bb:
I see.
Hucka D.:
And then to complete the description of the diptych we have Quilt Rock, also painted by the Celina woman artist, like she painted the similar quilt-like pants of the waving Easter bunny on the opposite side[ of the diptych]. These 2 are suppose to be associated. Tiny Superman poses in front of each. Do you know why?
bb (admitting):
I don’t know why.
Hucka D.:
He *lives* in the cottage. That’s a hint.
bb:
Still: nothing.
Hucka D.:
It’s *you*. You are Superman. And Aquaman. You are both. Skies and seas. Yin and yang. Get it?
bb:
A little.
Hucka D.:
Who is Drink?

Thoughts
I probably need to give up Collagesity in Minoa in a couple of days, but can I manage it? I just talked to Carrcassonnee, who made a brief reappearance in the town’s temple. She said to remember her for who she is, and also that she would return. She recently had a baby — wonder what happened to it? But I suppose that might just be my keyboards (arriving Tuesday!). So what I need to do is save *all the town’s art*. I’m not going to worry about saving the altered Fal Mouth Moon structure. I’ll just re-create it as needed later on. My Sunklands site is up for renewal in August, and I want to make sure that will continue. I suppose.
Amazing new developments out in the *real* woods. Yesterday I found a whole new section of Whitehead Crossing which, quite peculiarly, seems to be blocked off from the main part. That’s why I hadn’t found it before. But Sunday was different. Now — perhaps even today — I have to figure out an easier way to get into it. I believe this to be the Mossman’s Red Head, mentioned here on this old map (top right)…
https://bakerbloch.wordpress.com/2014/04/30/new-whitehead-x-ing-map/
… but only hypothetically. Another name, then — looking at this map — could be Burnt Head, like on Monhegan Island along with its already employed Whitehead and Little Whitehead. I’m going to leave Blackhead alone, however.
Now I know what’s behind the Red Door.

Collagesity Curveballs
The Rubi Museum structure is back in town as of last night. It’s the same one that functioned as the quite successful Noru Museum in the summer/fall version of Collagesity, when I resided in that sim. But after some experimenting, I’m not sure that the exact same kind of idea translates to Rubi that well, even though I’ve probably lived around Rubi and Noru about the same amount of time in toto. I’m having a hard time even putting it into words — but my thoughts now are to make an abbreviated version of the town museum and insert it into the town diner, like existed in VWX Town, Rubi last year. I’m thinking instead of creating a VWX Town *book* of some sort to cover that history.
In just looking at my successive, true virtual towns, why did Pietmond change to New Pietmond change to VWX Town change to Collagesity? Pietmond was the original and the template for all to come. And truth be told, I might *still* be in Pietmond in Otaki Gorge if circumstances were similar to that of 2010, when this whole town making process started. Then I had a *whole sink* to work with, rimmed with protective buffer parcels. On the other hand I’ve refined the process. Collagesity, Rubi-style has probably less filler buildings than any other village I’ve created. Basically every structure has a rather well defined function. There’s no “mere” eyecandy skyscrapers like the Big Boy Tower and Tower of A. Mann. The largest structure in the current town, the Fal Mouth Moon gallery, has a very delineated function as holder of the 61 piece Falmouth collage series from 2014, one locked into another. Same for the Power Tower Gowlery and the 2013 Gilatona-Lis series. Same for the Toxic Art Gallery and the 2004-2009 Art 10×10. And then 2 newer galleries act in the same manner: Sam Parr Library and Gallery (Sam Parr series from last September) and Red Umbrella (brand new and perhaps still developing Embarras collage series). These are what I’ve called the core galleries buildings of Collagesity. But going all the way back to 2008 and my initial Rubi properties, there *were* no core galleries because even the Art 10×10 wasn’t finished yet (completed the following spring with the Wheeler-Jasper series). Unlike the Fal Mouth Moon and Power Tower, which became locked into their housed collages early on, the Art 10×10’s home slowly evolved over time from 2009 to the present Toxic Art situation. In 2008 Rubi, the incomplete master series was exhibited in what I called the Edwardston Station Gallery, a name which has its own history. In Spring 2009, a revamped Edwardston Sta. Gallery in 30x30x30 cube form became the 1st home for the finished Art 10×10, both as a sky and ground structure. But there’s a complicated path of structures connecting 2008/2009 ESG and 2014 Toxic Art that creates a type of separate sub-plot of my Second Life existence. And the same would go for the Temple of TILE, also originating in 2008 and also on my original Rubi parcel.
Hucka D.:
B_hivia to the Temple of TILE in Azure, and then the Edwardston Station Gallery going from its initial ground existence to the cube form to contain the entire 10×10 and match the 30x30x30 form of the Temple. They became stuck together even, one on top of the other, for a spell. I designed the Temple as a beehive. I was pleased they matched so well. Then in Noru — summer 2009 wasn’t it — you decided that they should become separated again. But then when you — we — moved to Sunklands in 2010 the 2 were joined up again and combined even with B_hivia to make a superstructure.
bb:
Big E Gallery in Aotearoa.
Hucka D.:
Both the Temple and ESG, 30x30x30 meter cubes both, were inserted into a hollowed out cube 8 times larger[ than each]. That was like a Pluto and Sharon situation, baker b. Planet and large Moon. Pluto is 8 times larger than Sharon.
bb:
Yes.
Hucka D.:
And then the Blue Feather Gallery of Noru was the other [true] superstructure you created, of a similar design yet also quite different. About the same size overall. 4 in 1, or Foreign One or 4orrin1 (Hucka D. says these using slightly different accents).
bb:
The Blue Feather Gallery had a different function that the Big E Gallery. It was to hold the then very large “Jeogeot Through Art and Word” exhibit. It too when through a number of permutations. That was right before the start of Pietmond and the whole town thing. Blue Feather was the last of the superstructures, unless you count Fal Mouth Moon as a smaller version of one of those things. It is not a composite building, however. It’s mainly just a single building: Moard Ling’s Castle 12. I didn’t alter it much. Blue Feather, in contrast, was a mashing together of 4 quite separate things. Yeah, I guess it stands as a unique structure in My Second Lyfe.
Hucka D.:
So you’re wondering how the superstructures kind of were taken apart and turned into the basis for virtual towns like Pietmond, like Collagesity.
bb:
Suppose so. In a way.
Hucka D.:
The first primitive superstructure was found in Rubi. It is a mashing of the Edwardston Station Gallery and the Temple of TILE. Your 2008 Rubi story is that story, in essence. The [true] superstructures are not that different — the ESG-Temple of TILE mashing remains at their core, removing all the veneer.
bb:
Well, that’s not really true of the Blue Feather Gallery of Noru, Hucka D. That was an exhibit exterior to my own work, an attempt to create or reveal an artistic statement of a whole, virtual continent (“Jeogeot Through Art and Word”). And then accompanying it in that superstructure was the Baker Bloch in England exhibit and then the works within the Big E itself, a kind of museum in itself I suppose. Then there was the Wall of Ass. at the top.
Hucka D.:
*That’s* what you need. Another Wall of Ass.
bb:
Perhaps. I’m happy with the core galleries of Collagesity. The Red Umbrella’s Embarras series may or may not be finished, but I have space to hold it if not.
Hucka D.:
Do you want[ to create] another superstructure, then?
bb:
Nah, there’s no room. And there’s no need to.
Hucka D.:
There’s always room. There’s always a need. You need to keep expanding somehow and in some way. What about the [Rubi Woods], then?

Hucka D.:
It’s not enough just to have galleries, personal and general. You have to have the Temple as well. It was in Pietmond, and the center of it all — the bottom of the sinkhole. Sunklands became a kind of super religion, with connected sinkholes, including Big Sink, the master of them all. And it still is[ in hypertime]. I told you you would never leave Sunklands. And you haven’t. It is your ultimate goal[ still].
bb:
Interesting. But that’s in the future.
Hucka D.:
In non- hypertime, yes.
bb:
Meaning actual time.
Hucka D.:
Yes. Look at the Temple. Give Carrcassonnee back her eye. She’s asking for the female eye of tennis great Renee Richards, turned into Richard Richards. This selling is a scam — make sure she knows this. There’s no need for the townspeople to vote on this. Perch will yield his eye again now that the vote is settled. Carrcassonnee rules. She has to have that Eye to do so. She must become the Real McCoy.
bb:
Thank you.
