Captain Braunsfeld Posted August 12, 2022 (edited) The Marquis: Origins - Chapter 9 - Questions and Strange Relationships The story so far: Chapter 1 - The InterrogationChapter 2 - Early DaysChapter 3 - The First MateChapter 4 - The StormChapter 5 - The Poker GameChapter 6 - Dancing with the MarquisChapter 7 - On the MSSChapter 8 - Practice makes perfect Chapter 9 - Questions and Strange Relationships(you are here) Interrogator: I have more questions for you. Where were you on the night of the 9th two months ago? Lady Bonny: I don't remember. Interrogator: Was the Marquis involved in the Tulip Trade? Is it true that he made a fortune there? Lady Bonny: Hmm. Not that I know of. He has already made a lot of money just by winning poker games. Interrogator: Do you remember those strange events on Gunpowder Island? Lady Bonny: You mean the volcano eruption? Interrogator: Yes. And more. Lady Bonny: Dunno. Interrogator: Can you confirm that he has commanded a ship capable of coconut bombing? Lady Bonny: What? Interrogator: Nevermind. Interrogator: Has the Marquis ever been seen with Colonel Brickinson of Eslandola? Is it true that they are drinking buddies? Lady Bonny: Not that I heard of. Interrogator: Has he or has he not been in contact with Herlock Sholmes, the famous detective from Corrington? Has he been on a camping holiday with Herlock? Lady Bonny: Where do you get all these questions from??? (cut to a nightly scene) Herlock Sholmes: Why are you waking me? Marquis: (points to the stars) Herlock: You want to know what I see? Marquis (nods) Herlock: And what I conclude from it? Marquis (nods) Herlock: Well, astronomically there are millions of galaxies out there. And that there is a full moon. I also deduce that the time is approximately a quarter past three. Meterologically, I suspect that we will have a beautiful day tomorrow. And what do you conclude? Marquis: Vous vous vous! Herlock: Oh, I see. Someone has stolen our tent! Marquis (nods) (to be continued) If you want to take a look at the storyline about the Pontelli Tulip Trade, you find the start here and all the chapters are listed there. Should you be interested in the events around the mysterious Gunpowder Island then look here. (at the end of each chapter is a link to the next one) And the joke about the tent is not mine. I just found and re-used it. Edited August 12, 2022 by Captain Braunsfeld Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kai NRG Posted August 12, 2022 I've heard the tent joke before, but it's still a good one. It kinda sounds like the interrogator knows more about the Marquis than Lady Bonny does. You've built up an impressive collection of Marquis MOCs over time, it's nice to see so many together. Love the starry sky in the last one! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
NOD Posted August 13, 2022 You made up a lot of crazy and funny stories. Herlock Sholmes is a funny name, I would like to read a story about him. I didn't know the Gunpowder Island story. It reminds me a bit of The Walking Dead. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jeff of Clubs Posted August 13, 2022 (edited) Pffft!!!?!?! Had a good time catching up on your older 'werkz'. The lighting and backdrop work great! Edited August 13, 2022 by Jeff of Clubs Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Thomas Waagenaar Posted August 15, 2022 Lovely scenes! Really like how much "trouble" the Marquis has gotten into already! The tent joke is class too! Will definitely have to remember that one! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If not, please read the books by Donan Coyle. Yes, the Gunpowder Island story was very creepy... On 8/13/2022 at 10:22 AM, Jeff of Clubs said: Pffft!!!?!?!

Garmadon Posted August 20, 2022 I know that joke and it still got me! This is good - the Marquis really gets around; I'm sure he didn't make much money on the flower fiasco, of course... And I've been wondering what to read recently, maybe I'll have to pick up another of the books by Donan Coyle. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
