Chapter 5

Chapter 6:

Jimmy ran from Count Lewisham's new office through the rain to the Alleyway.(1)  There he found just what he was expecting: a darkly clad figure waiting bent over a closed umbrella, his hat pulled down well over where his ears would have been if he hadn't been a minifigure.

Jimmy: Bananas

Darkly clad figure: Bananas!

Jimmy: Finally I get to meet you

Darkly clad figure: Oh, I'm not Bananas.  I'm just his representative.

Jimmy: Of course, I should have known.  He always sends representatives.  Do you know the rest of the password?

Darkly clad figure: I've forgotten if it was another fruit or a vegetable or a...

Jimmy: It's poetical.

Darkly clad figure: Was it limericks?

Jimmy: No, but that's very close.

Darkly clad figure, sighing: I would look at my book of passwords, but I seem to have left it at home.

Jimmy, handing him the letter: That's okay.

Once Jimmy was well out of sight, the darkly clad figure opened the letter and raised his hat just enough to see the words.

Letter: 

Dear B.L.,
As to this unfortunate monetary affair that has linked our fates together for so long, you can be confident that I have a plan to solve this once and for all.
Alas, I have to ask for your patience. Things are about to move but they will take their time and I must not disclose too early who is really in charge.
I expect to have more positive news within a month or two and kindly ask for you to wait once more for your payment.
L.L., C.

The darkly clad figure let out a soft chuckle and went on his way, wondering what the L after bananas really stood for.

Footnotes:

(1) The Alleyway is notorious in Nova Terrelli.  It's the place where everyone goes who has secret messages to deliver.


Plenty to see behind the scenes on this one, but be warned, it's a mess!

Wonderfully done, @Kai NRG! The masonry and upside-down woodwork are top notch. I'd be interested to see what that masonry technique looks like with the colors inverted (light bley for mortar, dark bley for rocks)... may have to try it!

The light brick (LED?) is a nice touch

Great technique in building the wall and the wooden structure. The cobblestones were also elaborately built. It was very interesting to see how it was built.

The handing over worked very well with the password. :pir_laugh2:

Thanks!  Inverting the colors should look pretty cool I'd imagine, don't have enough dk grey tiles to try it myself yet though, sadly!

very nice alleyway and the photography skills you show are even more outstanding.

Thank you!  I've been working on those a little the last couple years so glad to hear it's paying off :pir-grin:

:pir_laugh2: Fun story and fantastic build and photography!  The stonework and the lighting are great, and the pic really does look like a render :grin: :laugh:  The Alleyway also sounds like a great place to get irrelevant secret information that was not intended for you :pir-laugh:

:pir-laugh:  Thanks!  Yes, totally.  Someone should add it to the ESL thread lore so builders use it every now and then. :poke: (I would myself, but I do not seem to have superpowers anymore :pir-cry_sad: )
