Two new pieces of the Bogota series in place at Castle Jack now.
At 10 total, is it finished already?

More Snowland (etc.) pics
Some older Collagesity related pictures that never made the blog for various reasons.
Wheeler’s New Island pot fetish subplot never manifested in “Collagesity 2016-2017 Winter”.
Neither did these guys appear.
This particular snapshot of Purden Forest’s Core-Alena with open eyes never made it.
Baker Bloch’s actual discovery of Woody’s “visitors” in Part 6 of C1617W (as I’m abbreviating it), atop these woods.
Direct inspiration for the same visitors, which turned out to be Old Mabel and Buurb/Urch in *blue* dresses (not pink). Yes, the 2 gals below were actual inhabitants of the oversized Livigno trailer our future lovers *pretended* to live in (along with axe wielding Uncle Jack). They were mentioned in C1617W as being killed and buried in their own backyard. The overall reference is obviously to the Grady twins of “The Shining”, in case you missed it.
Another Snowlands black star… somewhere in the south regions.
Lonely sunrise junction.
I thought I’d throw in a map here of the Okemo, Nakiska, and Southern Railway (ONSR) from the Second Life wiki since I haven’t mentioned it before. Mainland enthusiasts: you *must* go ride it.
Baker posing at a protected Snowlands waterfall.
Strange gathering of avatars near Wheeler’s Way Station featured in C1617W.

Hitching a ride on a passing Yava Script Pod, Baker heads down into Chamonix City, another must-see when visiting Sansara’s Snowlands.
Finally: testing out a probable reality.
One can dream, can’t they?

Malvern, AL with variant name of Eagan near Light and Geneva-Houston co border, which is also part of GNIRPS (neighbor’s house, which just sold again this month). Circular city limits on topo map (Malvern as well).
Eagan, TN just examined is very near Campbell Co line with Jacksboro for seat. Conj. of Jack and Campbell here is another personal GNIRPs entry (former music director of my childhood church). You can see Eagan and Pruden in nw corner of below map of Campbell Co.
Third and last Eagan pp in Dakota Co MN, by far the largest of the 3 and in Minn./St. Paul metro area.
Nearby Eagan MN is Nichols. Nicholas David of The Voice fame born in Eagan, MN, and nicknamed St. Nick on the tv show.

Many Benningtons LINK, and I came up with it for C1617W just as a plain name to attach humor (like Farmington as well). But Bennington Edwards Co IL still may be pertinent. It has to do with neighbors growing up on *both* sides, including Edwards Co, Grayville in southern part, Samsville, Black, Browns (neighbors directly west of my neighbors), Golden Gate (another color like gray, brown, black), and Bone Gap and Blood also may be related (like blood and bones, and blood relative). Sam’s house sold this month just like Geneva’s. Black in both Edwards Co IL and Geneva Co AL with Malvern/Eagan.
http://cityofgrayville.com/new/history/
Grayville was one of the early settlements, located at the mouth of Bonpas Creek and the (Big) Wabash River, and settled by the Gray family around 1810. Bonpas is a French word meaning “good bay” and early French keel boatmen tied their boats at the mouth of Bonpas Creek in the spring to escape high water or floating ice. Bonpas was once considered navigable, and boats went north as far as east of West Salem, Pinhook and Bennington.
Largest Bennington in VT.

Back to Sansara continent’s Snowlands…
http://wiki.secondlife.com/wiki/Snowlands_Subcontinent
Fellow explorer Simple Wunderlich, who I befriended several years back (see his pictures also in center of Collagesity’s Kidd Tower), has created a series on Snowlands here:
https://simplewunderlich.wordpress.com/?s=snowlands
Mtn. from Simple’s series that no longer exists, pictured across stilll extant Cortina forest.
Another Simple photo showing a more interesting build in Loon — haven’t checked to see if it is still there.
Another building, no longer in Snowlands, snapped by Simple, formerly of the Loveland sim I believe.
Explorer Jayaram Dahlia (who I don’t know) has also created a series on Sansara’s Snowlands, claiming to have explored it thoroughly in all directions…
http://dahliajayaram.blogspot.com/2014/05/snowlands-region-points-of-interest.html
… enough to make this map of personalized regions.
Purden and Eagan are locations on the *diagonal* boundary she’s set up between her Central and South Central regions.
Good closer there.

Latitudinally, Egan is one sim south of Eagan on the same continent (Sansara).
Egan part of GNIRPS system via triangle Ben-Grizzly-Egan.
Purden sim, caddycorner to Eagan in sw direction, is on same latitude as Egan, then.
3 Eagans pp in GNIRPS, 1st I checked near Pruden. No Purdens, and only 1 Pruden (anagram). Pruden on KY-TN line, like Static mentioned in both C1516W and C1617W, as I was just reading and noting earlier tonight. And Pruden is on the Eagan topo map.
Karoz line:

“I’ve got to get myself back home,” he thought. “I’m in a state!”
“Karoz?” Baker Blinker offered. “You okay?”
“Tennessee or Kentucky,” he blurted, and then fell off the bar stool.
Pruden is likewise either in Tennessee or Kentucky, depending on which direction you’re coming from.
Like Muff-Bermingham, Pruden is sometimes called the hyphenated Pruden-Fonde.

Resolution 02
“We are at Purden Center, Snowmanster. But where are Core and Alena?”
“Yeah, right, I forgot about that too,” Snowmanster acknowledges. “I’ll have to leave you once more, just for a moment.” He puts his hand on the wooden man’s shoulder. “Woody, you’ve been a fantastical friend down through the years for me. You’ve endured great hardships and still have managed to make a place for yourself in this world. I am here to help now. Wheeler and I. And the children who aren’t children, now rescued from being X-ed out. We’re all in this together. You can ask your questions.” On the spot, Snowmanster changes into Core-Alena.
“Kneel down, Woody,” Core-Alena requests. “So I can speak with you… fellow wooden being. Here, let me turn just a little to the right so you can see me better. And I, you.”
Woody kneels. “Snowmanster? Is that you in there?”
“Yes. This is a core being as well but more than myself. *All* of us. Everyone in the Snowlands. Rich and poor. Good and evil. Male and female. We are them. They are us. As Snowmanster, I just had to commit to being here. With you and the others.” Owlie the 3rd eyed owl sitting on one of their branches hoots in agreement.
“So is this… the end?”
“Yes,” states Core-Alena. “We will go forward, obviously, but in a different setting, a different light. Mid-Hazel and her entrapping X’s, etc., have been defeated. We are one.
Woody gets on the ground and stares directly into the male-female eyes. He asks the final question. “Am I in there too?”
“Woody,” Core-Alena playfully smirks. “You are the key!”

From a frozen pond in Virrat, Baker Bloch admires the vast expanse of Poorvoo’s North Pole. But he doesn’t have time right now to revisit that place. He must get to Woody’s before the toy avatar awakes and spring the surprise.

“Well?” he says while showing Woody the interior view. “What do you think?” He knew he’d be pleased.
“Fantastical,” Woody replies. “But who are you?”
“Oh, sorry. I forgot to change.”
“Snowmanster!” Woody cried. “So you have a secret identity.”
“Not secret,” admitted Baker Bloch/Snowmanster. “Core,” he explained. “That is (more) my real self.”
“What *is* you?”
“My father was a superhero and then a talk show host. My mother was, well… diffcult to explain.” He obviously thought of Wheeler’s recent appearances as Old Grey.
“Well I never,” exclaimed Woody. “Do *I* have a secret identity? A *core*?”
“Maybe,” says Snowmanster. “Why don’t we try to ask the *tree* this morning. I have a hunch they might be free to speak now.”
“Core-Alena?” asks Woody. He stares out the window toward the center of the woods.
“Of course.”
“But a spell was put on them.”
“I think Mid Hazel’s control is breaking down, Woody, thanks to Wheeler. She’s up next to Livigno now. She’s adopted two children who aren’t children at all but soon-to-be lovers. They will look into the room. They will free us.”
“Fantastical,” Woody repeats. “Let’s go see the tree.”
“Bert’s not invited.” Snowmanster and Woody share a laugh with that.

Rooms
The children rock inside while Uncle Jack approaches the window, telling them the deed is done. The fake Uncle Jack has been buried out in the backyard along with the fake children that showed up yesterday. Blue has switched with pink. No pink clad twins in this storyline! But perhaps their ghosts will haunt the oversized trailer later on.
After supper, the children sit on the porch while Uncle Jack stays back in the kitchen. He always seems to be cooking or cleaning there.
“I’ve seen inside their room,” says Buurb, sitting on the wooden flooring opposite Old Mabel.
She makes a shocked face. “But *how*? The door is always locked.”
“Remote viewing. You don’t know that trick yet?”
Old Mabel’s shoulders ease back a little. “Of course. But I don’t like to pry. What’s behind closed doors should stay behind closed doors.”
“Not how it works around here,” answers Buurb, who was naturally nosier than his counterpart. “Anyway, they’re dead now. What do they care if we peek around inside. I could even lay in their beds if I wished. You could too.”
“Don’t you *dare*,” reprimands Old Mabel. “This Livigno sim will serve us well as long as we obey the rules set up by Uncle Jack. Do I need to tell them again to you? There are only three.” Buurb was about protest that she doesn’t need to do this again when she stands up anyway and begins.
“One…”
“…if the fake people show up, they will be killed and disposed of in the backyard.”
“Two…”
“… don’t leave the Livigno sim because all answers are here.”
“Three…”
“… *never* enter the Story Room.” She sits back down in the executive chair. “Any questions Buurb? Buuuuurb?” Old Mabel knew Buurb hated it when the double vowels in his name were stretched out like that.
“Um, yeah actually.” He puts his index finger to his chin smugly. “I’ve been thinking about this. If all the answers are here, in this sim (he points down), and Story Room is part of this sim — *if* it’s part; perhaps its beating heart as Jack once put it — then maybe the answers are in that room.”
Uncle Jack’s ears prick up in the kitchen. He thinks about the still bloodied axe against the wall around the corner.
“We can just march in and get them,” Buurb continues. “That’s the, er, paradox of all this, where the head eats the tail. We stay in the sim, but must never look into the *heart* of the sim? Ever thought about that Old Mabel?”
“This is not the Garden of Adam and Eve.”
“Isn’t it?”

At the same time and 100 yards to the northwest, Wheeler tries to teleport back into her adopted Ayas cabin after buying a stack of books, a Lisa Simpson cutout, and some ice cream down the hill at Inferialist, but instead finds herself in a hidden space underneath.
On the other side of the wall she discovers more.
Buurb was looking in the wrong place.

Way Station?
“*Wilson*. Should’ve known. I received this landmark in my inventory tonight and used it to pop over here, and find you.”
“Hi Baker Bloch,” is all Wilson said. She changed positions on her bench from Pout to Puzzled. That way she could stare out into the landscape.
“Why are you me again?”
“Why not.”
“Where are we?”
“Change into Snowmanster,” she requested. “You’re not suppose to be Baker Bloch when you show up.”
“Oh, that may explain it. Hold on.”
“Well that didn’t work,” they said in one voice.
—–
They finally sorted out their roles tonight. Wilson changed into Wheeler, switched places with Baker Bloch on the bench, who remained Snowmanster. Annnnd… Action!
—–
“*Wheeler*, I knew I’d find you up here at this Way Station.”
“Well good. Anything else?” She checked the pink script under her bench. “And it may not be a way station, as defined as, quote unquote, ‘intermediate stopping point’. I might be staying here.”
Snowmanster thought he had his lines memorized better. “It could be a way station as in a station set between principal stations on a line of travel,” he said confidently. “Look around.” He waved his left arm to indicate the area. “Livigno. The up and happening plateau place where it all goes down.”
“Check your script, Snowmanster, if you have one. Because we’re in Ayas. Right on the edge of Livigno where, as you said, it all goes down. But just beyond.”
“Oh.” Snowmanster shuffled his feet. “Must be working from an earlier script. Is this the one where you set up The Table in the Firefly related building over there?” Both look southward.
“Jesus, you’re at least two colors behind,” reprimanded Wheeler, standing up. “Look inside.”
Snowmanster turns around. White Wolf the guard dog tilts his head at him innocently. “Nice mutt.”
“What did you say?” queries Wheeler behind him.
“I said, you have a nice dog.”
“Oh… right. Well go ahead. Look inside.”
To Snowmanster, a door stood between him and the inside of the cabin.
To Wheeler, the door didn’t exist.
“I can’t get the door open,” Snowmanster says back to Wheeler.
—–
“Well, get out of here, then,” she said back. “Be gone. I just received the newest script in my inventory and you’re not even in this scene. Pink has switched with blue. See ya!”
—–
Wheeler sits alone on the Way Station bench, thinking she could stay here for a spell. Table meeting tomorrow night at 7pm! Invitations already sent. This place is where it all goes down.

MEANWHILE…
In his oversize Livigno trailer just to the west, Uncle Jack prepares breakfast for the children. Uncle Jack shows up.

“You’ve gone a bit queer haven’t you Woody? Maybe you should lay off the smokes. Just until you stop doing things like talking to Bert over there. Your man mannekin, hehe.”
“I love him,” Woody states frankly. “My key loves him too.”
“Well that’s good Woody.” Snowmanster uncrosses his legs. “So tell me about *these* guys.”

It was always going to be this way, Wheeler realizes. This path…

Not lacking for energy, she begins the steep ascent.

6:00am:
Bert the Semi-Nudist beat on the windows of Woody’s A-frame house next to the Purden Forest. “Wake up in there Woody,” he called. “Things a do’n out here this morning. Get up and see.” Groggilly, Woody rolled over on his cat mattress… and fell asleep again. Five minutes later, Bert was back beating. Woody’s actual cat Vampire Boy was now out of his kitty coffin and staring over at muscular man. “If you don’t get up now, Woody, you’ll miss it. Come on!”

6:10am:
“Bert, why don’t you put on some clothes for Santa’s sake before you rush over here,” beseeched Woody while moving to the coffee pot. He wasn’t going to go out there in the cold without some caffeine in hand. He told Bert the same through the window, then invited him in.
