Captain Braunsfeld Posted December 31, 2021 (edited) Back at the monkey headquarters: 1st Monkey: So, you're back? Ismael Oldton: Yes, Sir! 1st Monkey: But no success? Ismael Oldton: No, Sir! 1st Monkey: For banana's sake take off that stupid mask! Ismael Oldton (?): Ah, that is better. 1st Monkey: Your report! Ismael Oldton (?): Well they seemed interested in the monetary ideas - at least initially. But every time I came to explaining the whole thing they always backed out. 1st Monkey: So they were more clever than we thought? Ismael Oldton (?): It seems. Their resistance level was very high when it came to funny ideas about currency. 1st Monkey: Right then. Let us not waste anymore energy here. I've got a new plan. Ismael Oldton (?): Which is? 1st Monkey: There is a parallel world, not too unsimilar to this one. And there is a country which is just starting to set up an empire. I think it would be great if they would side with our monetary proposals. That would be soooooooooo funny! Ismael Oldton (?): Will they be so gullible? I mean, the whole currency is nonsense. Everyone can see it. 1st Monkey (giggles): Of course, we will have to make some adaptions. Change the names of the coins. Don't call them Pnence or Shnilling. And make two half-thingies be one "thingy" instead of three. I let you work that out. Ismael Oldton (?): Yes, Sir. I'll do my very best. 1st Monkey: One more thing - they will also not get my Gwuinee. It is just too cute. Let them have some of that scrap metal instead. Ismael Oldton (?): Aye, Sir. 1st Monkey: By the way, how are tulip prices doing these days? I heard they can be quite tasty.

NOD Posted December 31, 2021 Very funny and crazy story. Ismael Oldton looks more intelligent without a mask. A very nice and suitably decorated room. I like the chandeliers a lot. The little black monkey looks funny. Is the Guilds of Historica getting a new currency? They would definitely be happy about it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kai NRG Posted December 31, 2021 It was the monkeys!! I always knew it. Just one question: do the bananaliers actually give off light? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kwatchi Posted December 31, 2021 The Tulip story is a gift that just keeps on giving. I really liked the chandeliers (banadeliers?), but the whole thing is cleverly funny as per usual. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bananaliers - something ornamental, a source of light - or just a food depot? Will we ever know? On 12/31/2021 at 7:57 PM, Kwatchi said: The Tulip story is a gift that just keeps on giving.

Yes, the floor depicts a banana. It seems that a lot of their artwork is fruit-centered. But think of Andy Warhol's work for the Velvet Underground. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
