(Picture by Captain Braunsfeld... obviously. ) Captain Cookie continued: And so, you see, the Red Fandango set sail with Old Captain Argentum's Sparkle and a fine crew of misfits for the cove where he thought he'd find the shipwreck and treasure of the 8 Provinces. And no, he didn't happen to meet any Oleanders on his voyage, much to the old Captain's chagrin when he heard it. All was calm and tranquil in the underwater cove. The fish, sharks, and other underwater beasties did their usual... things. The luscious coral vegetation moved back and forth with the slight current. Suddenly, the Red Fandango swam into the scene. He looked around admiringly at the seascape that stretched out before him. ("That was his Corrie instinct, you see," Captain Cookie remarked aside.) Then he looked serious. Down to business. ("I may as well mention at once that the Red Fandango had become an absolute master at holding his breath. I hear that he only had to go up for a breather once during this whole procedure. I believe I've heard that he was taught the art by a monkey.") The Red Fandango sat down and pulled out his map (the last, most specific one), which he had had enclosed in glass for the expedition. He looked up excitedly - this was the place! ("That's when he lost a breath in his happiness and had to go up again, you know.") Then he glanced around. There was nothing there! Captain Cookie made a long pause. "And?" Lady de Summer finally put in. "Well, actually there was something there. A cannonball sat in the center of the ocean floor, one last remnant of the devastating battle which took place there. The Red Fandango glanced around. History could have been very different." Captain Cookie made another pause, and ate a bit of the cookie he held in his hand. "But he didn't see it. I hope you didn't get your hopes up. History stayed the same (except it hadn't happened yet, of course)." "So that was the right place?" Lady de Summer asked. "What had happened to the wreck and the treasure?" Captain Cookie looked up. "No, he replied, it wasn't the right place. A monkey had just placed the cannonball in a conspicuous place there about two minutes before. But as I said, after all it didn't matter, because the Red Fandango didn't see it anyways." "And what happened to him?" Lady de Summer put in. "Well, there isn't much left to tell," Captain Cookie remarked. "We left him standing there astonished. But he was a quick thinker, and soon concluded that he must be in the wrong place. And thankfully for him, he was a quick swimmer too. "Swim away!!!" And that was how the Red Fandango finished his first attempt to find the wreck of the 8 Provinces. Once again the sharks and fishes were left in sole possession of the scene, and the corals and florae were left to themselves in peace. But that was not the end... To be continued. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- My section of this story collab with Kai and Captain Braunsfeld (to move along Captain B's awesome storyline - he's taking a vacation for a few days ). I had been wanting to do a underwater All-LEGO scene for a while though and had had some ideas, and so I put them all to use here - and I really like how they turned out! The curved background filled with studs seemed like the easiest way to go for an all-scene without an unlimited amount of pieces (and time!), and I also tried out my water technique here with all sorts of pastel colors underneath the trans-clear instead of just the usual blues. Altogether I think I'd have to say it is of the the most fun and one of my favorites builds I've done yet! One last shot at a slightly higher angle (In case that wasn't already enough of them ): Thanks for viewing, C&C are certainly welcome!
