Hi there, it's me, Phred 

No, it isn't really, but on behalf of busy Phred here's a small sistershipping MOC.

 

Keeping the Keeper Happy

 

"Last time I was here the place didn't look quite as fancy." Phred said to the Keeper of Plans sitting behind the desk, "Did you get a raise?"

"Thing is," the very pompous looking man replied, "every time you naval buffoons manage to loose one of your ships, you keep running back to me demanding to get a copy of the original plans. Which makes me important. And I'm as good at... communicating my importance to the higher ups as you are at loosing ships. So yes, that means salary raises on a regular basis for me."

"That makes sense." Phred replied after a short moment of silence.

"So," the Keeper of Plans continued, "just out of curiosity, how did you manage to loose..."

"The Aspiration" Phred added.

"The Aspiration. Yes, of course." the Keeper of Plans went on, "How did you loose her, the Aspiration?"

"Captured by a pirate" Phred replied.

"Captured by a pirate, of course." the Keeper of Plans almost interrupted Phred, "Have you actually tried to get her back, the Aspiration, or did you just automatically come running to my office here?"

"I'm pretty certain we will strike a deal with the pirate in question" Phred replied with a smile on his face.

"Hmm... strike a deal... that is interesting." the Keeper of Plans seemed a bit puzzled, "But you still insist on receiving the plans for a similar vessel?" he inquired.

"Yes." Phred said.

"Hmm... hmm..." the Keeper of Plans looked at the book in front of him, then he looked at Phred, "Cannot you just go get a new one?"

"It's common practice." Phred replied.

"Common practice, of course." the Keeper of Plans now looked around himself, then he looked back at Phred, "Well, who am I to judge. And after all, here behind me there's still some space for additional decorative items. Say, what do you think velvet curtains would look like in here?"

He handed Phred a copy of the original plans for the Aspiration.

"A most excellent choice." Phred noted, "I might come by next month to check them out."

Thanks to @Bodi for the actual work 

 

C&C to be directed at @Phred 

 

Vive le Roi!

Nice build KB, It's good to see you  building with actual bricks for a change. The photo quality isn't great, but I'm not going to complain. Keep up the good work!

How dare you think I'd ruin my fingernails with real plastic?!  

Bodi did the build, I just threw in some text

Aye, no Oleander would ever get their hands on actual work.

Exactly. We pray to the Gods, and stuff happens. Same as here: Phred prayed to the Gods - and a build happened

I like the MOC but I am a bit confused as to what is going on.  Is Phred sister-shipping the vessel he already bought back?

Yes, that's the idea 

I know, it sounds weird to do it in this order, but as we all lack the time to build sometimes, we shouldn't get all technical about it.

Thank you KB and Bodi.

That's right. I'm glad you figured out how we (don't) work.

 

Good writing KB, it was fun to read.

And for the record, KB didn't built this all mixed up thing, it was me.
