TILE Talk, 2 June 24, 2008

“You should seriously think about revealing [delete name] and [delete name] Baker Bloch. You and Ms. Blinker together, that is.”

Baker Bloch:

I’m still not sure that’s the direction to go.

Hucka D.:

Let’s review, then. Baker Blinker has a curse upon her. When the curse is lifted she will be revealed as who she really is. Part of the lifting of the curse could involve revealing [delete names]. As yours collectively, I mean. (pause) SID’s 1st Oz is not the only TILE, or Tyle.

Baker Bloch:

I am not so sure about that Hucka. But thank you for not invoking that other name.

Hucka D.:

[Delete name].

Baker Bloch:

Yes. The lemon tree at the center of the temple is obviously connected to Lemon World, and the circle of the rocks seem very similar. If you count the stone colored chairs surrounding the tree, that would be perhaps 11 objects? Anyway I’ll have to count again.

Hucka D.:

Let’s count them now.

Baker Bloch:

Well ok, alright.

(Baker b. logs onto SL as Baker Bloch. He’s already in the temple, on Floor 1. It’s nighttime, Baker Bloch’s favorite time in SL. Soon he is in the central square staring at the tree and the rocks and peering above the tree up to the ever-spinning cube of TILE/Tyle at the top.)

Baker Bloch:

If you count the transporter as well I’m counting 11 objects around the tree, Hucka D. So this must be related to the rock circle where I manifested Lemon World.

Hucka D.:

We manifested it together. Climb the tree.

Baker Bloch:

What? I don’t think it will hold me Hucka.

Hucka D.:

Climb the tree and enter the cube, the block, Mr. Bloch.

Baker Bloch:

Even if I could climb the tree, which I don’t think I can, I’m too big to get into that cube.

Hucka D.:

You are already in the cube. Ascend the tree.

Baker Bloch:

I’m not going to do it.

Hucka D.:

You will be insane within the month if you do not ascend.

Baker Bloch:

Huh? Insane? Maybe you’re the insane one Hucka D.

Hucka D.:

Ok, what harm would it do just to see if you can climb it, like you climbed up the plane loader before. Remember?

Baker Bloch:

I hesitated then as well. You went headfirst. Come to think of it — you go first.

Hucka D.:

I’m already in Baker Bloch. Where do you think I am?

Baker Bloch:

No Earthly idea Hucka D.

Hucka D.:

Guess.

(Baker Bloch did not say the name that came immediately to mind, which was Sirius. But the pieces began to fall into place anyway, and how Baker Blinker must become Alma I, Queen of AI5, in order to save it.)

Hucka D.:

My name is Rupert, and I am a royal ambassador from the 4th planet of the primary Sirius solar system.

baker b. (slightly late on):

*I* see, the world tree has been recreated and the treehouse atop it. Hucka D. has become his primary self. Synchronicities have been shown in SL, perhaps for the first time (?) Kansas City Life.
