Noru Developments 02

An 8092 parcel available in Horisme *right next* to the Rubi Forest. You bet I would jump all over this deal if I hadn’t already bought in Noru. Am I tempted to switch? Sure I am! But strangely I really like the Noru parcel — it seems to have unique qualities. So although I could switch I’m thinking I won’t now. I’ve rocked the Rubi experience last winter. If a deal comes around again it comes around again. But it looks like I’m passing on this option. Hmm.

Noru native Karoz will soon be out and about again, I’m thinking.

… because several hours later the house was gone, replaced by the Power Tower Gowlery on the far east side of my new Noru land. The place has transformed into Collagesity, highlighted by four of my galleries: Gallery Jack (2006-2009 collages), SoSo (2007 collages), Power Tower (2013 collages), and Fal Mouth Moon (2014 collages; most recent).

Notes:

Still have over half my allotted prims free for skybox developments, or a bit under a 1000. Groundside, Collagesity seems basically finished already, except for some interior decorating of the smaller buildings. Is this an actual town like Rubi’s VWX Town? Not really. It’s a totally personal sphere — all my art — and there’s little to connect it to other people’s art. I simply do not have the room this time, and my collages are more numerous than ever before thanks to huge steps forward in 2013 (Gilatona-Lis series) and 2014 (Falmouth series). About 100 collages produced just in the last year and a half (!).

Also on the property are the old VWX Town City Hall, an A-frame house, and the Hole in the Wall bar, which lies at the west end of Drunk Man’s Ridge.

Snapshot1008_009

The only pool of water on the property has been created at its east end, containing 3 schools of yellow fish. Not much else in the way of internal topographic features. Trees are mostly found proximate to parcel boundaries.

It’s really a beautiful place, and seems quite large despite being less than 1/2 the area of Rubi’s VWX Town, my last larger parcel. More magic of Noru, I suppose. I’ve owned or rented in this sim quite a number of times now, starting in 2009. A review is in order — perhaps a building devoted to my history with Noru, like I did with Rubi before.

3:42am update:

Gallery Jack has been replaced by the Toxic Art Gallery to save ground space. This also eliminates the need for the SoSo Gallery, since the Oblong series is included in the TAG. Great! Now SoSo might become the Noru History Center. 1011 prims remaining on the property.

New Land

I’m back in Noru after a several year lapse of ownership there. This time I bought a long 7680 square meter strip of land at the very top of the sim from my former neighbor Olando7 Decosta, who has or at least had strong Chilbo connections.* He was my neighbor during my first stay in Noru. At the time I owned a 5120 parcel immediately south of the present land. And then afterwards, for several years on, I rented or owned a number of other Noru parcels. Immediately after purchasing the present land, I added a 512 parcel to it that was for sale in the west central part of Noru. So my total holdings in the sim amount to 8192, and I’m entitled to lump in another 512 (total: 8704) from somewhere without upping my tier.

It seemed fate to purchase the larger of the 2 properties, since at the time it was the cheapest mainland parcel over 4096 square meters for sale in all of Second Life. Had to get it, you see, since I was already primed for a buy somewhere. Then also last night I began working on the landscaping. My thoughts are to position the Fal Mouth Moon Gallery at the west end of the long parcel, balanced by the Home o’ Fibs at the very east end. In-between would be a lengthy corridor of pure nature, basically, add in some border structures.

Revisiting (Collage 17)

“Where are these collages going?”

Hucka D.:

Whereever you wish. London?

bb:

I’m in Mythopolois now for the last 2, Hucka. Pretty interesting stuff.

Hucka D.:

You need to move back to Blue Mountain. Or not.

bb:

Revisit Greenup.

Assignments

bb:

Rather newly former Edwardston Resident is assigned the Heterocera continent. Much new history since the 2012 creation of the Frank and Herman Einstein! Blog, Hucka D.

Hucka D.:

Yes, but not much more will be written[ about it]. VWX Town is an endpoint. The Diagonal. The ultimate SL town for ya.

bb:

Then *you* are assigned the Nautilus continent.

Hucka D.:

Glad to be of service.

bb:

Then Karoz is assigned Jeogeot?

Hucka D.:

Too big of an assigment for him alone. You’ll have to help. You are the full time person on the job and he is your part-time assistant. Just like the [Salad] Days.

bb:

Sounds like it. How about Baker Blinker for Sansara.

Hucka D.:

Sounds good. Then Bracket Jupiter, of course, for Corsica, his home continent. Like Jeogeot is Karoz’s home continent. How about Wilsonia?

bb:

She’s from Otherland, which I don’t think I’ll write about. Similar to Azure Islands. We’ll just skip those sub-histories and focus on mainland and the 6 primary continents, 3 from the east[ern hemisphere] and 3 from the west. Jeogeot and its Pietmond as inspired by Chilbo was my main home. More posts written about that continent that almost all the others combined.

Hucka D.:

That’s why Karoz needs help. He’s limited within his circle [“Dark Side”].

bb:

So who does that leave? We’ve covered the older, eastern continents of Heterocera, Sansara and Jeogeot. Oh… Maebaleia, also Satori.

Hucka D.:

You’ll have to double up on that one.

bb:

Um, I think I’d rather have help.

Hucka D.:

It’s most linked to Jeogeot[ though].

bb:

Started with Crabwoo, a twin to Chilbo. Center urban area of *Lemon* Lab, as Chilbo was for Linden Lab, at least potentially.

Hucka D.:

Correct…

bb:

As coded within Carrcass-2. As coded within the 2002 crop circles from Chilbolton and Crabwood, 8 1/2 miles distant from each other.

Hucka D.:

The standard Second Lyfe measurement. The Measure. It all opened up when you moved to Jeogeot in May, 2009, don’t you think.

bb:

I do think.

Hucka D.:

You found the Rabbit Hole, then, linking Jeogeot and Maebaleia. The Rabbit Hole is directly from Carrcass-0, the last carrcass completed before the start of the Baker Blinker Blog, and the source of The Ancients that put Baker Blinker under a curse, and almost did the same for Baker Bloch before he broke his servitude[ to sinister Mr. Low]. The Rabbit Hole was a way for Jeogeotines to travel to Maebaleia before the days of instant [teleport]. Before the days of the Lindens, even, and their Limey lab. Lemons were the fruit of the days. Salad days[ once more]. (pause) Avatars could even smell, taste, touch in those days. The Linden Grid changed all that. Made everything square and regulated and bland bland bland. Old stuff poked through, like your Hilo Peak, like your Okinu glyphs. Like your Mr. Low below Baker Isle in the Baker sim. Like the spirits in the middle of the Kerchal Forest. These were old days bleeding through on the oldest Linden controlled continent. Salad Bar Jack knew about that as well.

bb (correcting):

Salazar Jack, Hucka D. Salazar. Salad Bar was inspired by that avatar name.

Hucka D.:

So in our mega-opus you’ll have to start with Sansara and these Ancient bleedthrough. Bleeding through from Carrcass-0. Bleeding through from pre-Carrcass days, or, in your terms the Positive Carrcassess.

—–

bb:

How about assigning Karoz to Maebaleia, Hucka D. After all, he was the one who fell through the portal linking the Korean Channel to the Blue Feather Sea.

—–

“It is the story mainly of my cousin Peter The Good, who came to Crabwoo University of Maebaleia to get educated up as a lawyer, hoping to study under the great and powerful Blue Feather Douglas, who then lived in a giant pyramid at the southern end of the Blue Feather Sea. The sea was named after him instead of visa versa?”

Hucka D.:

Already, Karoz is asking questions. Karoz, you attended Crabwoo U. as well, studing to be a Priest or Priestess of TILE.

Karoz:

TILE was the rave religion of central Maebaleia at the time. And perhaps the whole continent, since Crabwoo was the primary urban area. Bigger than Linden’s Chilbo in those days. Before the curse. The Purse Curse.

Hucka D.:

Karoz, the curse started when Biggie was extracted from the Blue Feather Sea and brought to rest in the center of the Crabwoo U. campus, on the central mall. Later mythology turns this into a giant “E”, but originally it was a fish, similar to a blue whale but also different. Why was the fish brought to the campus?

Karoz:

We needed its power. It was “hooked” up.

Hucka D.:

What does that mean?

Karoz:

It became like a battery (pause).

Hucka D.:

What were the dates?

Karoz:

Peter and I went to The Moon[ sim] afterwards. We found Biggie’s twin there. Biggie’s twin was saved from torture by removing it from Maebaleia and sending it to [ the continent’s] Moon. The Barracuda sisters, perhaps Wilson, were assigned to guard it there. They ruled 3 sims, and still do. They made purses. Curse purses. They were outside the jurisdiction of Maebaleia and Blue Feather Douglas.

Biggie was pregnant at the time of extraction[ from the Blue Feather Sea]. Oliver was the baby calf, raised originally in the Super Bowl, the 13th mainland sink or Baker’s Dozen Sink as we called it sometimes. Sometimes?

Hucka D.:

Karoz, where were you born?

Karoz:

Chilbo. Norum, Chilbo.

Hucka D.:

Your mother is Sapphire. Where was she born?

Karoz:

Yd Island.

Hucka D.:

Doesn’t Yd Island and the included Nautilus continent also have a great and powerful fish?

Karoz:

Yes. He or she controlled a 10 sim hole that was connected to Jeogeot as well. This was a later project. Jeogeot had its own Moon, but it was still under the jurisdiction of the [primary ruler of Jeogeot].

Hucak D.:

Was this Sapphire? Was she queen?

Karoz:

Of the eastern part[ of Jeogeot, yes].

Hucka D.:

And other parts, the western parts?

Karoz:

Brainard.

—–

“Biggie was seen as the 3d-ing of the TILE religion. It became the E of TILE… fulfilled. Before, TILE was seen as just going ’round in circles in perpetuity. After Biggie, it stopped, and the E became the all. The E is the Korean Channel. Directly.”

Hucka D.:

Interesting, Karoz. And thanks. Sounds like the avatars of Maebaleia created Jeogeot, built around this channel.

Karoz:

The channel was originally a giant hole or void slot, as I knew it in my younger years. I use to toss rocks into it and watch them disappear in inky blackness. Then all of a sudden the channel was there, appearing as if out of nowhere. Some people had always remembered it there, was the problem. I didn’t. I remember the inky black. I remember the void. We were called [delete name], we special people who knew the time before. It was because I was part moss.

Hucka D.:

Again much interesting, Karoz. Is this when you remembered Gene Fade, your user?

Karoz:

Yes. I remembered who my user was. And those who remember the void also remembered their user. It was a Shock.

Hucka D.:

How old were you at the time?

Karoz:

11.

Hucka D.:

You knew, then, that Sapphire was not your true mother.

Karoz:

No. I still did not know that, although I suspected. My true mother is [delete name].

Hucka D.:

You actually took a transport to the Moon of Jeogeot to find that out.

Karoz:

Yes. I saw my mother there but did not recognize her at the time. She was in frozen stasis.

Hucka D.:

When did you pass through the portal to Maebaleia from the Korean Channel?

Karoz:

23.

Hucka D.:

Did you plan this on purpose?

Karoz:

No. But it was on purpose[ by the people on the “Other Side”].

Hucka D.:

Did you know about these [people on the “Other Side”] before this?

Karoz:

Yes. They were part of Chilbo.

Hucka D.:

You lived in Norum, though.

Karoz:

Yes.

Hucka D.:

And you lived with Sapphire in what we call the House of Truth in the blogs, up until age, what 13 or 14?

Karoz:

Yes.

Hucka D.:

And when did you meet Peter?

Karoz:

I learned about Sunklands at about the age of 12.

Hucka D.:

Peter attempted to recruit you.

Karoz:

That was the [purpose].

Hucka D.:

What did he say or promise?

Karoz:

He said that all those who remember The Void are gathering in The Sunklands.

Hucka D.:

What did this mean?

Karoz:

It meant we — they — were moving to The Sunklands in order to avoid having their memory totally erased. It would not be long.

Hucka D.:

Did you go to The Sunklands?

Karoz:

Yes.

Hucka D.:

How long did you stay there?

Karoz:

7 years.

Hucka D.:

So you went to The Sunklands when you were 13 or 14?

Karoz:

17. 18.

Hucka D.:

What was happening in Sunklands?

Karoz:

Like you should ask. You were there.

Hucka D.:

I suppose I was. There was a similar void still in the center of Big Sink. Can you describe that?

Karoz:

You were in control of it.

Hucka D.:

What was it? is what I’m asking you.

Karoz:

It replaced the Korean Channel void, when the Korean Channel came. A-Z.

Hucka D.:

It has been compared to the 18th hole of a golf course, where game ends.

Karoz:

Sunklands was like a giant golf course[, yes].

Hucka D.:

But this hole was not the same as the Rabbit Hole of Blackmount.

Karoz:

No. It was in the center of Big Sink[ as stated].

Hucka D.:

And Brainard controlled the hole?

Karoz:

Brainard guarded the hole.

Hucka D.:

What does that mean?

Karoz:

You could not make eye contact with Brainard or you would be assimilated.

Hucka D.:

Sounds like no one lived in the Big Sink, then.

Karoz:

No. A Great Tree grew from its center. Similar to the Chilbo good tree but much larger. Supposedly 10 times larger.

Hucka D.:

What is the tree to Brainard.

Karoz:

The tree is Brainard. Brainard is the seed of the tree.

—–

bb:

Sorry for the pause in the action, but I understand this is coded [Seed, Tree] into north Georgia by Lisa the V. in her GNIRPS. So it must be real. And the presence of [also] Tiger and Persimmon there indicates the golf association. Brainard is like a golf ball, which dropped into the 18th hole to end game to become a seed-tree. Tree-seed. So it looks like Karoz is talking about a past-present-future situation with Brainard. Brainard can appear in his round, seed form, guarding the hole that he is destined to drop through, and he is also the future tree he is destined to become after dropping into the hole as the seed. The tree is a persimmon tree, apparently. Tiger Woods indicates trees as well. Can’t see woods for trees, etc.

—-

bb:

And further, we have Quartz here, which seems to directly indicate Lisa the V. and her Quartz Brook on Wealthy Mtn., source (seed?) of her actual wealth and ability to buy or own the mountain in the first place.

What is it?

Snapshot1153_004

Carrcassonne:

It’s a pod. For exploring space. And time. Me.

bb:

Because you are the all, I’m guessing.

Carrcassonne:

Yes.

Hucka D.:

It got here — predicted that you’ll call me in or ring me up — because it’s an escape pod. Wyn Galbraith Cutout was forgotten at the town meeting. For some reason she didn’t count. She was, let’s see, the 13th or 14th.

bb (after a pause):

I have just been counting and it looks like 15 or 16, with Wyn, if I may be so formal with her, the 17th. A lot of characters!

Hucka D.:

Now the forgotten enters the pod sideways. Is she heading to a different space and time? Can the pod actually launch?

bb:

I’m going to dig up the post I was just reading earlier today about when this pod first appeared in Old Pietmond. Interesting. Hold on:

Pietmond Changes, 02

Here’s another:

Podple

I’m reminded of several things, then. First, the pod originally sat in the Temple of TILE at the very spot which Carrcassonne occupies now, the immobile form of her, heehee.

Hucka D.:

Haha.

Carrcassonne:

We are the same, the all.

bb:

Well, you’re certainly close to the same color. And about the same size. Yet you didn’t show up until about a year later in the Temple of TILE. That’s another point — since its erection, the temple hasn’t changed much down through the years now. It’s been sort of a stability point. Remember when we were going to devote quite a lot of time to the discussion of VWX Town buildings?

Hucka D.:

The Temple of TILE should be in a sinkhole. It’s not now. But what are you going to do? Carrcassonne, the ruler of the temple, is ultimately displaced. Can she return?

bb:

Probably not, Hucka D. Sunklands is dead, seemingly. No return to Sikkima[ 14th sinkhole of SL] is perhaps possible. The other sinkholes — on Corsica and Maebaeleia — probably not as well.

Hucka D. (reinforcing):

The temple needs to be in a sink. Sink in, and all.

bb (after counting):

10 holes in the pod still. The mouth, where Ms. Galbriath passes through sideways, is the Sun, we’ve speculated before. And the hole at the top is Pluto, the destination point perhaps. This is a launching pod for an Ancient. Ancient Rising.

Hucka D.:

Wyn G. is at the mouth. Are you in or out, and so forth. Is she coming or going? Clues.

—–

Carrcassonne:

This is Sharon.

—–

I wanted to speculate a bit more on the newest object in VWX Town. It’s kind of like it belongs there and doesn’t belong there at the same time, which makes me think it *might* be a rocketship, a pod spaceship, or perhaps a memorial to a spaceship. It’s tied into whoever Wyn Galbraith — the forgotten — is. (pause) I wonder if it has to do with Casey the Alien, another new object in the town, and with somewhat similar colors. Wyn, I believe, is going to get in that ship and travel to distant places, maybe Uranus and Neptune, possibly Pluto. But she is arriving at the same time, which makes me think the ship exists in a time rift, where coming and going are the same. A breakdown of normal reality, which is probably pretty common in malleable and low gravity Second Lyfe. (pause) That the object exists in Westside also seems important. I’m also reminded of the concept of Piepodt, which is a sort of melding of words Pietmond and Teepot.

Right after the pod appeared in Old Pietmond, the underground, Pluto, started opening up. We found an opening into the underground, the underworld perhaps.

Great pic. This is the L and the P together. Pluto symbol. Casey The Alien exists in a newly dug underground for VWX Town. Casey The Alien was similarly in Old Pietmond’s Underground.

“What happens…

A cube/sphere half the diameter of a second will enter the second to make a whole. Lock. Turn, then. It’s on.

bb:

What happens then?

Hucka D.:

Each become stronger. Pietmond stronger.

This must be the concept of Piepodt.

I wonder about the nearby pool of water backed by the obelisk, another Old Pietmond related tableau.

Snapshot1153_005

Snapshot1153_007

Pietmond Statues

I’d forgotten that Carrcassonne was originally called Piepodt.
