Captain Braunsfeld Posted June 12, 2022 Posted June 12, 2022 Garmadon, Kai NRG and Captain Braunsfeld proudly present: The Story so far:Chapter 1Chapter 2Chapter 3Chapter 4Chapter 5Chapter 6Chapter 7Chapter 8Chapter 9 You are at Chapter 10: Pnence! While Eslandola still does not know who can count on the Count, more and more political groups are starting to form. Take a look here - a scene outside Terelli: A strange man adresses a crowd of not-so-wealthy Eslandoleans. Man on the podium: Friends, Eslandoleans, countrymen! Welcome, you poor guys, huddled masses, sad and betrodden! (shout from the crowd): The betrodden could not make it. Their father would not let them come. Man on the podium: Anyway. Hear, what I am telling you: The best things in life are free, but you can keep them for the birds and bees - we want money! That is what we want! (shout from the crowd): We want Pnence! Pnence and Pnounds! Man on the podium (slightly confused): You got that wrong guys. Who has been telling you this? You are poor. You do not want a change of the monetary system. What good would that be if you still don't participate? You just want money. That's what you want. Crowd: We want Pnounds! We want Pnence! Man on the podium (shaking his head): Hang on. You there, in the first row. Do you know what you are talking about? Guy in the first row: Yes! We want Pnence! Man on the podium: Ok, then answer me: How many Snixpnence are a Robert? Or why do three Half-Pnennys make a Pnenny? Guy in the first row: How would I know? I did not expect a kind of Oleon Inquisition! I want my Pnence! Man on the podium (sighs): Ok, I will change our charter and I will keep leading our movement. Crowd: Yes. Man on the podium (having regained his strength): You want Pnence? Crowd: Yes! Man on the podium: Ok, I will give you Pnence! We will march to Terelli and fight for our Pnence! And Fnarthings! Just, follow me, Crassus Sparrow! Crowd: Crassus! Crassus! Crassus! How will political stability be maintained in Eslandola? Stay tuned! Spoiler In case you were wondering: some lines are taken from the song "Money" written by Berry Gordy and Janie Bradford in 1959 - made popular by The Beatles later. The monetary system around Pnence has been introduced in an earlier storyline of mine: Quote

NOD Posted June 12, 2022 Posted June 12, 2022 Funny story! This time I could see 3 squirrels. Also among the crowd is Ismael Oldton. He is probably just there by chance. Crassus Sparrow even knows the name and value of the different coins from the new currency. Why does he know so well? Does he work with Ismael Oldton? Quote
Professor Thaum Posted June 13, 2022 Posted June 13, 2022 Hilarious story, linked to another hilarious one. We are going to have good times with this Eslandolan Ballad. Quote

Like 100 cents to a dubloon. 3 half-pnennys to a pnenny. And 7 botherosh to 1 flumben. 6 hours ago, Professor Thaum said: Hilarious story, linked to another hilarious one.

Kai NRG Posted June 14, 2022 Posted June 14, 2022 Oh my, this is even funnier than I expected it would be. I see some worthless tulips growing like weeds in the background too. We want Pnence! We want Pnounds! Quote
Captain Braunsfeld Posted June 14, 2022 Author Posted June 14, 2022 Why is the monkey in the last picture making a similar gesture as Mr. Sparrow? 6 hours ago, Kai NRG said: Oh my, this is even funnier than I expected it would be. I see some worthless tulips growing like weeds in the background too. We want Pnence! We want Pnounds! Well, the tulips are not exactly worthless. Just worth less than before. If you want Pnence: How many Pnence are in a Shnilling? Can you answer that? Quote
Garmadon Posted June 23, 2022 Posted June 23, 2022 That was hilarious - we want more!! Maybe we should start building... But that was really awesome and funny, Captain - Crassus Sparrow is a very practical sort of leader Also great to see that monkey on the stage too (he probably writes Cassus' speeches, yes?) Quote

A practical leader listens to what the people actually want. But what if that is nonsense... The monkey just lives there outside of town - and got curious. I should have turned Crassus's hand by 90 degrees! Quote
