pombe Posted February 1, 2016 Dramatis Personae: Sea Rats Ethylene Glycol Professor of science. A former faculty member at a prominent Corrington university, she was dismissed after failing to have her grants and fellowships renewed as a result of years of failing to publish in peer reviewed scientific journals. Railing against the scientific institution's insistence that data obtained from experiments must be reproducible and come from well controlled rational approaches to testing a model, Professor Glycol has decided to start her own university of higher learning at the Port of Bastion, where she can do science the proper way and publish in her own independent journal with herself as the sole reviewer, unfettered by the rules of the intellectually inferior. Lucy Liu Sixth year graduate student with no publications. Bitter and jaded, with hatred for the entirety of existence, Lucy followed her advisor to the Port of Bastion, because no other faculty members would accept her as a student after being already mentored by Professor Glycol. Highly intelligent and talented, she has languished in academic hell for the past six years, trying in vain to get her advisor to adopt the practices of the other science professors. "Motorboat" Peacock Third year graduate student with no publications. People assume he is nicknamed after a seafaring vessel that has not been invented yet, but in fact, he is nicknamed after a thing he does with his mouth which is named after a seafaring vessel that has not been invented yet. Very popular with the ladies, he spends more time getting into the beds of women than he does actually doing any science. He followed Professor Glycol to the Port of Bastion to escape his fiancee, who was the one who blinded him after learning of an affair "Motorboat" was having with his undergraduate assistant. Alois Bieber First year graduate student with no publications. As a former Olean soldier in the Order of Faith, he was leader against the principles of science, when he attempted to disrupt a seminar being given by Professor Glycol. Instead, he found himself understanding her talk and becoming interested in the subject. Confused and bewildered, he spent two years soul searching until he was able to accept that he had been wrong his whole life. Alois then sought out Professor Glycol, explained his scientific enlightenment, and became her student. Somewhere in the ocean... LAND HO!!! Ho? Aw yeah. Shut up! Just shut up! Alois is correct, there is a small island visible in the distance. There also appear to be some sort of primitive dwellings. You three, take the ship's boat and investigate. This may be our chance at discovering a new culture. Wait, the ship's boat is different. Yes, Bregir suggested that the previous ship's boat looked too modern in appearance and I agreed with him (http://www.eurobrick...howtopic=120267). So I decided that instead of the brickbuilt one that we presented before, we would just use the prebuilt one. How can something look "too modern"? Isn't modern now? He meant that it looked too much like ships from the future which have not been designed, yet. Then shouldn't he have said that it looked "too futuristic"? Oh, quit arguing semantics and get going already! LINGUISTICS!!! +++++++++++++++++++++++++ Later, on the island... Welcome to our island home! I'm Amy! And this is my sister Jessica! Why, hello there! Well, hello there yourself! I'm "Motorboat", and you don't need to know these other two people. In fact, I'm all your sister and you will need from now on! Wait. Your names are Amy and Jessica? Aren't you supposed to be primitive natives? And where did you learn our language? We prefer to be called indigenous peoples. And we have adopted names given to us by earlier explorers, because my name in my native tongue, ttcpkkjkvgmkmbzbqgtfrzsdgt, seemed to be too difficult for the explorers to pronounce. That's where we also learned your language. Igneous people? Well, I'm certainly as hard as an igneous right now! GEOLOGY!!! That's "indigenous" you scrotum-skull! Where's everyone else? Oh, it's just me, my sister, and about 30 other young women living here on this island, where all we do is undress, bathe in the nearby lake, play while naked in the lake, get dressed, and then undress, and bathe again. Lucy, I have never asked anything of you before. But now...I'm begging you, leave me here. Please, take Alois and get back in the boat and return to the professor and tell her that I fell overboard and drowned. And tell her that there was nothing of note on this island. What about Rebecca? Who? YOUR FIANCEE! Oh, yeah, her...yeah, tell her the same thing. I fell overboard and drowned. No...something's not right here. Amy, Jessica, where did your men go? Oh, um...our tribe suffers from this Y-linked disease where the men die just shortly after reproductive age. So it's just us women on the island! In fact, your man "Motorboat" here could help the 30 poor and very lonely indigenous young women here, including me and my sister, repopulate the island with men, since he doesn't have the Y-linked disease. GENETICS!!! PLEASE, LUCY, LEAVE ME HERE!!! Genetics hasn't even been discovered, yet! Alright, we're leaving! ALL OF US, INCLUDING YOU, PEACOCK! As much as I'd like to abandon you here and never see you again, my conscience would gnaw at me worse than you ever will. Alois, drag him back to the boat! BIOMECHANICS!!! No, wait! Yes, wait! Alois, take us out of here! NOOOOOO!!! Damnit! +++++++++++++++++++++++++ Crap! They're leaving! I guess that means no dinner tonight? I don't get it! That genetics line always works! Maybe Amy screwed up the lines! We should make sure Jessica says them next time! Great. What are we supposed to eat now? I don't know. Do you really need your non-clubbing arm? +++++++++++++++++++++++++ All comments and criticisms welcome!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TitusV Posted February 1, 2016 Great hut, I like the walls and the roof! (wait, isn't that the whole hut i just summed up: ) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Captain Dee Posted February 1, 2016 Funny story, and good job with the build. The beach is excellent, and the hut looks good too. I like the palm fronds hanging for the roof - it has that Caribbean feel. Good work. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sir Stig Posted February 1, 2016 Hahah, your presentation rocks. Wait, there are no rocks in it... But there is sand, which are like very small rocks, even if they don't float. I got an overwhelming Monthy Python vibe from it . Although "Motorboat" gives no impression of being chaste. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
blackdeathgr Posted February 1, 2016 Let me get eaten!!! Who needs builds when you have SCENARIO!!! Man, every time i see a thread by yours, i save it for last to savor it! Hehehe! P.S: Ofc I like your MOC too, especially the part when the sea meets the sand. It feels so natural. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
