Obviously this is just a demo, Violet. But with a name like that I had to try you out. You’re ggreat! But, like I said, doll: DEMO with a capital D E M O. I don’t know how you fit so many on your body and still be you.”

“It’s hard!” she said, her song over with. “1999”: sooo predictable, he thinks. “Are we still here?” he pats himself all over after the oh-so-familiar lyrics mercifully halt — even at that special place. “Am I still alive?!” Works with most but not Violet, specially named for the occasion even. True demos like this don’t have much of a sense of humor or any other sense. Basically just sight and sound. All they need. Next!

Wheeler clumsily gets up out of her seat in her awkward wear and makes her way to the now vacated stand.

“Soo glad you *made* it cutie pie. And dressed in my favorite color, *aww*. You’ve done your research! Love it. Love it love it love it, mmm mm MM.” Wheeler knew he was also admiring her legs which was part of the plan too. Orange fruit to emphasize the orange color. Gams sticking out all long beneath it to make the pitch more seductive.

“Yes I know it’s not what demo *Violet* was wearing, what *you’re* wearing.” At the microphone now she glances over at him and his own “costume”.

“Right, this is just for show. If I wore orange 2/3rds of my fans probably wouldn’t even recognize me. I just become another run-of-the-mill hip black dude to them, unrecognizable from the rest, hmph.” And maybe, one day, one day not in the too far future, we’ll be wedded in orange, he thought to himself, checking her up and down again from his behind position. If the, ahem, rehearsal goes well.

“All right, luscious legs, juice up that voice and squeeze me out a tune!” tbc?

“And so I think this is where we should end, hubby of mine.” Hubby, I think. I am! At least in this moment.

“You will always be Number One,” I said, surprising her. “All this is just an experiment. Like Prince; Prince liked to experiment. We are true creators, explorers. Like Star Wars, um, Star Trek. Just to see how far one can go, what’s out there and so on.”

White… blank. I was losing her.

Okay he’s here in Rodentia 02, um, too. Cool I guess!

“The white is here for your protection,” he might say as an introductory statement of fact. Is that all Mr. Prince, Mr. Symbol Man?

No.

—–

“I must have this (!),” he almost cried from his position on the couch just later. Like a Dove.

So I checked the Marketplace and got back to him. “That’ll be 600 lindens for the statue Mr. Prince, Mr. 1999 Party Man. And that’s without the water vortex base, which will be an additional 100 lindens. So that’s 700 lindens total for the whole thing of course, which will equal out to a little over 2 of our US of A dollars.”

“No. Not *that*. The *other* thing. 319. *319*.”

“319 lindens?” I tried. “Dollars?” I tried again as he shook his head.

He reached into his pocket, pulled out something. I feared a banana but it turned out to be a donut. 319 indeed.

“You give me this and I’ll give you the key to your story, your current photo-novel,” he said. “We are alike, you and me,” and then he bit into the thing to emphasize his point. I didn’t want to hear him eat any more so I logged him out which of course also logged me out. Night night? (tbc?)

The island turned into a water vortex, as he knew it would. The goddess or siren or whatever rose out of it high into the sky. She looks toward the now glowing blue sphere above her instead of away like before; all her attention is focused on it while the waters from the whirling dervish keep her tethered to a world ocean. She cannot rise any higher. Yet, suspended as she is, she remains safe. For now. We keep the water going.

All I can do is watch from afar, not interfering, not even upon threat of global extinction. We are probably near the end times but who knows. Look at Prince and 1999 and the Y2K threat. Everyone thought it was the end *then*. But we — they — continued on. This time seems… different.

I must go back to the ship and tell the others of this new development.

His head kept pivoting toward her atop his otherwise static body but she was just that much of a head turner to him, although she didn’t think of herself that way. Modest; naive even. Part of the appeal obviously. A peel.

On the 5th night of their 5 day stay in Bandanaboro, right after their last gig at Rock & Jim’s Gay Ol’ Music Club on Rehab Road, Tony B. and Shelley J. were married in a private ceremony at Belle’s Lost Church off Holy Hero Street, catty-corner to the courthouse where they just got their license for a flat 60 dollar fee per state law with no waiting period between its purchase and the wedding itself required. Fellow Silver band member Okama Majo — make that *former* Silver band member — couldn’t attend since he was on his death bed, or at least 66.67% of his doctors thought so. Tony and Shelley probably wanted to squeeze in the wedding before the funeral. The talking anthropomorphic banana also named Bandana was now nowhere to be found, having been eliminated through a corrected pizza order from Luigi’s where the fruit arrived on time atop the pizza and not later as a split off entity aiming to stir up trouble in town. Correction: Let’s make it that Tony B. had to strike a deal with the intelligent yellow dude to get rid of him. Assume the last name of Silver per his request to untangle the ins and outs of that name, that metal, that lake, that whatever, and he’d leave his life forever. He could also split this town of Bandanaboro perhaps named for him but perhaps not too. If he took a wife. “Corrections must be made,” the banana being again before him stated firmly. “Will you do it?”

“I do,” he said several days later to Shelley J. before Preacher Ziegler at the alter, name fully transferred from band to man to couple. tbc?

“Holland?? Old timey windmill — you see?”

“I see.” Holland?? I also ask myself from my more objective observing point. How could this be?? We were expecting a more realistic northern California given the Kane mythology.

We start wandering around together in this tree dotted plateau area, my eyes one with his. The synchronization seemed to be working. Then…

“Okay I think I’m getting the hang of this place. I’ll just gather up the clock on the picnic blanket here, giving me one of my three needed items to complete the, um, game.”

“What picnic blanket?” I asked.

“There. Right in front of me — us. Held down by 4 rocks. With a clock in its center — wait, make that a stopwatch I believe. Look down in the center of your row containing the items. That’s one of the ones we need.”

“I checked the symbols at the bottom of the screen. “Looks more like a sundial,” I opined.

“No, pretty sure it’s a stopwatch.”

“Or maybe a compass.”

“Stopwatch.”

“Compass.”

“*Stopwatch*. Pretty sure.”

“*Compass*. Quite sure.”

“Okay, let’s just move on from that — agree to disagree… for now. Sooo, what about the rocks? And the tree? Let’s check everything else before we start panicking about all this.”

“Okay, the rocks are there, the tree is there, behind the rocks…”

“Yeah? Good, okay. But no blanket still?”

“No blanket.”

“Shoot. I was hoping it would have rezzed in while we were talking. Let’s see, er, maybe try refreshing your screen?”

I didn’t know how to do this and told him so.

“Well, why don’t we just wait here. Give it a minute. Beautiful day after all. Would you like me to pour you some wine? How about a sandwich?”

“Ha ha. Very funny, Daniel.”

As they gabbed away, it dawned on observing Newt/Baker like a new morning. He was in a different Day! They’d have to start over, from scratch as it were.

The silver swirling all about him coalesces into a tight, glinty circle around his wrist. The water changes, becoming lighter, airier. He can breath again! Maybe, somehow, he won’t drown in these murky Desert Reservoir #3 waters beneath the Book Cliffs he was thrown off of with severely slit throat and seemingly 0% chance of survival just minutes before — not just yet anyway. Walking again, yes, but still at the bottom. In response to this, the band starts pulling him up through the water toward the land of the living, upwards upwards. 4% 16% 64%… suddenly 100% chance he’ll make it, a pendulum swing of unfathomable proportions.

Then he’s back at the top as if nothing had happened, daydreaming, wondering what to eat for breakfast. Lunch? Maybe both in one. Whaddaya call that? Lukfast, that’s it. Just as improbable.

Soon an old beggar he gives money to in a nearby village hands him an old wooden key as a reward. And this is where we came in…

That’s weird, Newt thinks. Concrete again.

Wonder where it leads?

—–

“Excuse me, sir. Concrete. Know anything? About?”

Daniel turns. He hadn’t heard that name in a looong time. “Come with me,” he said after introductory banter. He had a lot to unburden to this stranger from the far off Nawt Vaya Sea over on the mainland continent of Jeogeot. A lot indeed.

—–

3 hours and 19 seconds later…

“So I’m an artist, you see. And not a waste management operations worker.”

“I see.”

“I’m ready to leave this place, get a new job more in line with my goals.” Newt’s own gallery of Concrete sealed the deal for him. They must be connected (!).

“How… can I help?” How indeed. Howl.

“Take me back with you.” TBC?

“Honestly, I can’t see it. JAX?”

“At least AX,” I offered. “The J actually shows up better in this lower resolution shot taken from my downstairs computer. I think it actually reinforces the resonance, the association. At this coming right at the end of the Freya III section of the video. 1st person viewpoint here — that’s why Gemilly Niceniece isn’t in the scene.”

“Is this… the planet with Indigo Ridge? Where your friend lives?”

“Dandelion? No, that’s Schrodinger VIIIa. That comes before Jemison, and is the first planet overall. Moon of Schrodinger VIII — the ringed one — followed by Jemison, then Freya III, then, um, let me check.

“Cassiopeia I,” I answer after scanning the video.

“Soo. What then does this have to do with Amazing Digital Circus’ Jax?”

“A question indeed, wife of mine. Thanks again for finishing 10. You have polished off a block!”

Wyatt, Missouri, I think here, but it was too hard to explain aloud. Ahh, Missouri(!). Just like with Jax.

319 to end.
