Captain Braunsfeld Posted September 26, 2021 (edited) Commodore Spoon had been seen buying tulips for a lady. Apparently, this triggers Captain Cookie's next move: to visit the market in Pontelli. https://bricksafe.com/files/CaptainBraunsfeld/bobs-brethren-of-the-brick-seas/the-tulips-of-eslandola/Captn Cookie buys a tulip 1.jpg/800x460.jpg C. Cookie: Arrr, ahoi, hello there. Merchant: Yes, Sir? C. Cookie: I heard ya sellin' those flowery thingies. Merchant: Tulips, Sir. C. Cookie: An old enemy of mine has bought some one called "Ad Rem". Merchant: These sure exist, sir. They are red. Quite lovely. C. Cookie: Well, mate, I will need something better! Merchant: This could be your lucky day, Sir! C. Cookie: What? You tell me I'll find a buried treasure? Merchant: Well, sort of. Look here! C. Cookie: Where? Merchant: Here! C. Cookie: What's that thing called? Merchant: This tulip is known as "Orange Emperor". It is sure to make a grand impact. And it is of a different colour than the other tulip you mentioned. C. Cookie: Colours are important? Merchant: Just like ebony and ivory. C. Cookie: I thought they'd live together in perfect harmony? Merchant: Whatever you say, Sir. So how about the "Orange Emperor"? C. Cookie: Just what I need. How much? Merchant: That will be half a dubloon. C. Cookie: Such much? (He is obviously of German origin) Merchant: Certainly, Sir. C. Cookie: Ok, ok. I'll have it. Let me just eat my cookie so I have my hand free. Merchant: You will not regret this purchase. C. Cookie: That'd better be true. Or I'll return. And then I would not be in good mood. C. Cookie (off with the tulip) Merchant (sighs and counts his money) Monkey (leaves with banana) ------------------------------------------------- I'll probably license this for Pontelli.

Capt Wolf Posted September 27, 2021 A bit strange, even for Captain Cookie, but I like it. The design of the tulips is clever. 18 hours ago, Captain Braunsfeld said: Such much? (He is obviously of German origin) I'm not sure why, but this had me LOLing. 18 hours ago, Captain Braunsfeld said: "Ad Rem" Is that "Red Rum" with an accent? 18 hours ago, Captain Braunsfeld said: Monkey (leaves with banana) I see you're using the new monkey design. Did the monkey pay for the banana? 18 hours ago, Captain Braunsfeld said: I'll probably license this for Pontelli. You absolutely must! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Garmadon Posted September 27, 2021 This is getting interesting! If Captain Nordau hears about this... Can't wait for more! 43 minutes ago, Capt Wolf said: Did the monkey pay for the banana? Probably not? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
NOD Posted September 27, 2021 (edited) Interesting continuation of the story. I like the marketplace with the various sales booths. I've noticed that with every sequel to the story, the prices for Pontelli Tulip are higher. Tulips are the new currency.
