Captain Braunsfeld Posted June 17, 2022 Kai NRG, Garmadon and Captain Braunsfeld are responsible for this mess proudly present: The story so far:Chapter 1Chapter 2Chapter 3Chapter 4Chapter 5Chapter 6Chapter 7Chapter 8Chapter 9Chapter 10 You are at Chapter 11: Women to the Power! Is there a power vacuum in Eslandola? Where is the King? Why are new political factions forming every day? Look here: A familiar place outside of Terelli - but this time it has a special flavour to it: Emmelyne Punkharst (the one on the stage): A spectre is haunting Eslandola - the spectre of women rising to power. All the powers of old Eslandola have entered into a holy alliance to exorcise this spectre: The King, the Count, the Council, the Merchants and the Army. Emmelyne Punkharst: Two things result from this fact: I. Women are already acknowledged by all Eslandolean powers to be themselves a power. II. It is high time that women should openly, in the face of the whole world, publish their views, their aims, their tendencies, and meet this nursery tale of the Spectre of Women in Power with a manifesto. Emmelyne Punkharst: The history of all hitherto existing society is the history of class struggles. Kiera Nightly (the one with the black hat): A what struggle? Emmelyne Punkharst: A struggle of men against women! Kiera Nightly: Ah. Ok. Emmelyne Punkharst: But together we will end this struggle and when we win, we will finally be in charge! Crowd of women: Hooray! Emmelyne Punkharst: But first I will invite you to tea and cake. I have baked this myself this morning. Crowd of women: Hip Hip Hooray, long live Emmelyne, our general secretary! Kiera Nightly: Is that your gwuinnee over there? Emmelyne Punkharst: Yes, isn't it cute? I bought it for just two dubloons. Kiera Nightly: How much is that in Pnence? Spoiler Yes, you have guessed correctly: Emmelyne is somewhat quoting from the communist manifesto. And she has a name similar to a famous suffragette. By now the reader should have many questions. Like where is the King. And where is Lucy - we haven't seen her for some chapters. And what about that Marquis? Where is he coming from? Why is he a marquis? What about life, the universe and everything? Well, be patient, because most of your questions are going to be answered soon in the upcoming parallel (monkey-driven) storyline: The Marquis: Origins To be continued...

NOD Posted June 17, 2022 Fun build and story! There are more and more animals. The Sea Rats only know 2 Kings, that are Elvis and Burger King. I have a few important questions: Are Kiera Nightly and the Black Squirrel Pirates? How much rum do I have to drink to see 2 mermaids? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jeff of Clubs Posted June 17, 2022 "Kiera Nightly: How much is that in Pnence?" Noooo! Not again! Great stuff. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Well, Kiera Nightly is just a pun - and I don't know about the Black Squirrel (how do you tell a squirrel's profession?)
