“Sinkology is a word to be thinking of tonight, Hucka D.”
Hucka D.:
You want to open up a [small] college in Pietmond, as I understand.
bb:
Maybe. Branch of Crabwoo U. in Pietmond.
Hucka D.:
Don’t you think Peter[ SoSo] should be involved, then?
bb:
Again: maybe. Sunklands doesn’t seem quite dead, now. I’ve reexamined the Lill Burn Valley sim recently, for instance. It’s much different than in the days of the monestary, but not necesssarily a degenerative form.
Hucka D.:
Yes. It has degenerated. Become deenergized. That’s because the present tenants do not realize the power of the sink.
bb:
Oh, and quite interestingly another artist has interacted with my old land in Blackmount[ in another of the 6 Sunklands sinks].
Hucka D.:
Yes, that was another way to get your attention. Waterfall down to the pool that engulfed your camp there. Elevator — sorry, teleporter had to be raised above the water level to effect a proper transport [to the Edwardston Station Gallery]. The artist will examine all this. She needs to know about the power of the sinks. Sinkology. Sink in.
bb:
The theory goes that the Pietmond labyrinth — just outside the proposed building for the new college branch — plugs a similar flooding hole in my town. Plugs from above instead of on one side, as in a normal dam of sorts. But this type of flooding won’t occur in Pietmond as long as the labyrinth is in place. The Blackmount sink has been ruined in that way.
Hucka D.:
Yes. The artist will examine all of this. It is an Eerie Pond.
bb:
What of the other sinks? Second Sink or Oolamoo/Drews seems totally deenergized.
Hucka D.:
Not quite. Things could change there.
bb:
And Aotearoa, the one closest to Otaki Gorge and Pietmond, has basically always been empty since I found it almost 2 1/2 years ago. The center, I mean. That’s the location of the original Pietmond, I suppose.
Hucka D.:
Yes.
bb:
But up on a hill above the sink, and not in the sink itself, unlike Pietmond.
Hucka D.:
Unlike Pietmond. And the last?
bb:
Big Sink. The strangest of them all, perhaps.
Hucka D.:
You know where Big Sink comes from. You know it was created from the Big Ink incident in Far Past. You have Kidd Road as a new mythology bit. Big Sink still has energy. Kidd Road connects Big Sink with Blackmount.
bb:
I think I’ve theorized that *you* created Big Sink and perhaps all of Sunklands.
Hucka D.:
Yes. And then the 2 on the Corsica continent. They’re connected. Smaller Sunklands there. Not really a region but just a connection, as in a Klein Bottle. Nevertheless, Corsica is built around this center 3-dimensionality. And Maebaleia has its own sinks, but shallower and nearer the coasts. Crabwoo itself has a sink [Super Bowl = name?], the 13th discovered. And then Heterocera may have a legitimate sink in Sikkima, one you virtually lived next to for a number of months but didn’t recognize as such.
bb:
But no region like Sunklands.
Hucka D.:
There’s the Pond District on Heterocera as well. And the Lake District of Maebaleia. Corsica has the Plane of Bill and its bumpy little granite mountains dotting the landscape. But it all centers around Chasm Deep and partner Egg Hill Sink, the one Sachie lived in and energized. Still energizes.
bb:
Synchronicity, yes.
Hucka D.:
An egg is an eye. Orion’s Vale has its own, central eye, like Pietmond and Otaki Gorge.
bb:
Suppose it does. Or did. Is Orion’s Vale the most similar sink to Otaki Gorge?
Hucka D.:
In terms of who lived in each: yes. Two artists.
bb:
And Chasm Deep has a collection of artists living within now: the Metaharpers.
Hucka D.:
Join their group.
bb:
Maybe I’ll have an avatar devoted fully to the study of Sinkology, Hucka D.
Hucka D.:
Karoz?
bb:
Maybe a professor of Sinklogy.
Hucka D. (guessing further):
Wilsonia?
bb:
Yes. Maybe Wilsonia.
Hucka D.:
Maybe Karoz.
bb:
I need a Sunklands museum. A place of study as well. Special Collections.
