“Teetering on the edge of staying in Chilbo or staying in Sunklands, Hucka D.”
Hucka D.:
Either/or. It’s not all that important. It’s only virtual reality. Good you moved to Chilbo and good if you decide to move away.
bb:
It’s comparatively crowded, Hucka D. Not use to many avatars being around in the middle of the night. Socializing in SL is not a top priority for me.
Hucka D.:
You better get your priorities straight! Are you an explorer or an artist?
bb:
Both, I guess.
Hucka D.:
If you are an explorer then simply give up your small forest and start exploring. Keep the ESG in Pudding Hill and the rental in Chilbo proper, the Victorian house. Have you given up on Sunklands, then?
bb:
Ummmm… I don’t guess so.
Hucka D.:
You exist apart from Chilbo in Sunklands and you exist in Chilbo itself. Weigh the pros and cons. Good that you’re on the Chilbo fringe, though.
bb:
Good I’m on the Chilbo fringe though.
Hucka D.:
Yes. Though.
bb:
But it’s a return to Noru. I *must* stay for a time.
Hucka D.:
Remember how “returns” never work out for you long-term? Like you returned to Rubi this past summer, and before that to Gliese. Both in neighboring sims to these two but still a return in principle. How long did you stay in each place?
bb:
A couple of weeks…
Hucka D. (quickly):
A couple of weeks, yes. Why is this different? You better establish a mythology. It’s the same thing — a return to not exactly the same spot as you lived before but a sim or less away.
bb (defending):
I need *some* kind of social contact in SL.
Hucka D.:
You better think about those woods. And the relationship with your neighbors to the south.
bb:
The woods are haunted.
Hucka D.:
One/half is haunted. The rest has been cleared of the magic. But at least it’s forest.
bb:
I think this may be the last chance for SL for me, Hucka D. Chilbo is it — if I don’t succeed there it’s nowhere.
Hucka D.:
You must spread the truth. House of Truth… don’t hide it.
bb:
What is Norumbega, Hucka D.?
Hucka D.:
It is the Noru sim and more. It is the ancient land that use to surround the new Noru forest you and also your neighbor have created. It is a white, gray and black corner. It is a Blue Hill.
bb:
Norum, Florida is near a Greenhead and a Red Head. Oh, and then also a Whitehead Crossroads (!).
Hucka D.:
You need to stay in Noru *longer* than you did in Rubi and Gliese when you returned a second time. This is different. Chilbo has moved toward Noru and made it more relevant. Think of the church and the chicken house and your position between them.
bb (still looking at the Florida map):
There’s a Poplar Head not far away either, Hucka D.
Hucka D.:
You’re hopeless. You must find New Hope.
bb (pointing to map):
There it is!
