Captain Braunsfeld Posted March 12, 2022 (edited) Garmadon, Kai NRG and Captain Braunsfeld proudly present: Chapter 3: (This is chapter 2 where we left last time) While the Marquis was busily stowing away his newly-won riches (he always left a generous tip)… ... the King (well, Mr. Smith) quietly left the cantina. And while the bystanders were chatting about the Marquis' latest victory ... "When the Marquis had lost a fortune three months ago, he had merely shrugged it off and paid with three tulips. Now he is in luck again!" "Yeah, and now he's got gold. Those tulips aren't worth much anymore. I heard that pumpkins are going to be the next big thing in the colonies." .... the the shady character, we had seen before, left the cantina soon after Mr. Smith. Unawareth (that is an old word, you might not know it) of these incidents, Lucy Diamond entered the cantina: Green Villain: I don't like you. Lucy (is speechless) Green Villain: You just watch yourself. I am a wanted man. I have the death sentence in twelve cities. Lucy: I'll be careful then. Green Villain: You'll be dead. ... meanwhile and somewhat fittingly "The King's Wife" just started their next song "Who wants to live forever?" Guard (drawing her pistol): This little one isn't worth the effort. BARTENDER: No pistols, no pistols! Guard: You want to go home and rethink your life. Green Villain: I want to go home and rethink my life. (leaves) Lucy (to the guard): Thank you! Spoiler I just love how these dialogs write themselves... Although, sometimes, I have a bad feeling about this. And just while Lucy and the guard were starting to talk, somebody else left the cantina. Spoiler Why do ordinary red lego bricks always look so strange on digital photography? Lucy: If I may ask a question: if you were trying to leave the city in secrecy, who would be the guy to talk to? Guard: Well, certainly not that greenish guy. That is not the pirate you are looking for. Lucy: That is not the pirate I was looking for. Guard: Yes, but maybe you should talk to Captain Cookie. Lucy: Ok, I should talk to Captain Cookie. Where do I find him? Guard: Mr. Cookie has just left the building. Move along! (to be continued) The story so far: Chapter 1 Chapter 2 Chapter 3 (you are here) Chapter 4 Spoiler I wonder who is writing those excellent titles for the different episodes... And now a quick word about today's sponsor: This episode was brought to you by Captain Cookie's Pirate Training. Join today and get a free walk on the plank!

Professor Thaum Posted March 12, 2022 I'm a big fan of that story ! And those dialogs ! You have a knack for it... looks like dialogs which can fit to a movie ! . The " KIng's wife" band is exceptionnal. Again looks like something that could have make it big ! Great ! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
NOD Posted March 12, 2022 Great continuation of the story! I like the tavern very much, there is even a broken bottle on the floor (I didn't notice that before). Funny how weird some people look. I like the red color of the furniture in the photos. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Fraunces Posted March 13, 2022 These are the kind of stories/builds i'd like to see more in BotBS Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I am wondering about those dialogues (and I am wondering about the spelling ) too. A movie with such lines would be absolutely strange, wouldn't it? "The King's wife" - we'll see what happens to them. The show must go on! On 3/12/2022 at 7:19 PM, NOD said: Great continuation of the story!

Thanks for liking the red colour. It actually looks strange on the smartphone when I look at the scene, so it is not an effect of the "post production". How weird some people look? I thought you liked Lucy! On 3/13/2022 at 10:57 AM, Fraunces said: These are the kind of stories/builds i'd like to see more in BotBS Yepp. I agree. Let's do that!

Keymonus Posted March 19, 2022 Nice build and funny story! SW quotes and the final advertisement make everything better! I’m looking forward to seeing where is it going… and secretly hoping for a restoration of the glorious monarchy and the end of all this “power to citizens” nonsense!
