Thank you for continuing in spite of the German base…

The concept reminds me of Toy Story. I.e. what figures are doing when nobody is looking.
The visitor from another shelf is a brilliant touch
Jack Spar... Sorry, Captain Jack Sparrow is indeed very expressive thanks to movable eyes, though I imagine how much effort it takes to adjust them between shots.

Thanks very much! Glad you have had some fun.
.. yes, it is a bit like Toy Story
I am often too lazy to change even hands for shots or stories… so changing the faces and adjusting the eyes of Captain Jack Sparrow is indeed a bit of a challenge. If I had to do this on all figures, I would probably never try to take pics for a story
But I usually try to think through the story and take those pics that require the same face all at the same time and not necessarily in chronological order. It just becomes difficult if the environment changes. Might end up in inconsistencies… but, so what… we are not in the game to win any prize but just to have fun, right?

CAVEAT:
Though there is no explicit nudity, this might not be appropriate for all audiences or work environment.


First of all, there is a new flatmate to the Pirate's flat share: Shay Patrick Cormac. His character is kind of in between the lightheads Jack and Eddi, who are mostly interested in alcohol and woman, and the conservative intellectual - some would actually call him boring - Captain Harlock who favours green tea and books.


Episode 4 - Theme Night



Guys, the new club is having theme nights. Tonight's "Pirate Night". True pirates drink for free between 10 and 11 pm. We just have to go.




Shay: Come on, who is going to a club before midnight... you old boozer, you...

Eddi: I think, it's a great idea. We will have all the waitresses exclusively for us.




Yeah, sure... you are just incredibly boozy. But for my sake... let's go that early.




But without me.




Come on Harlock. That will be fun. You need to get out of here once in a while. You are reading yourself to death and you will end up poisoning yourself with your green tea. We will look for another greenish drink.




Ready to go! Cast off!



Harlock: I don't know.... when Sparrow's involved, there will be disaster, for sure.

Jack: What's keeping you. Let's go!




Shay: If Sparrow becomes too embarassing the two of us will leave. Promise.

Harlock: ok, if you say so... maybe it is really not wrong to have a little change once in a while...




There we are... a rather cool ambiance, right? Why am I only here for the first time tonight?
But really still totally dead, not even a little bit of music playing yet...
and no waitress... irritating...




Jack, does that look like a "Pirate Night" theme?




Better not to touch anything!!




Harlock: I knew it. Just look around. I can smell fiasco.

Shay: well... it does smell a little strange...




voice from outside: hey, what are you doing here!!!??? It's still closed!




by all ship's hounds and hell's kobolds

(this does not translate well as Jack is mixing up ship's cobolds and hellhounds)







Admission starts at midnight only.




I told you
I told you
I told you




What odd fishes are you now? Can't you read the sign at the entrance?



Stupid question. We are pirates. Tonight's Pirate Night. From 10 pm. So, here we are.



Duh! nah... Pirate's Night's next Friday. Tonight's SkinSM.




Eddi: soooo predictable you would mix things up again. Let's get out of here!

Harlock: Absolutely. At once. And Immediately.




Hey, you... don't you wanna come back later on? I really dig tall guys in leather.


not far from the Club the foursome pause for a moment to discuss the further proceeding.



Shay: just let it go my friend...




Eddi: Jack, we will go there next week... Nothing happened... it's all fine.

Jack: I don't get it Eddi... I was SURE, it was TONIGHT!




Shay: But to be true, the guy has not been that bad looking...

Ha ha! That was an unexpected turn of events!

The club setting is very nicely detailed!

I guess I missed that somehow. It was funny. Nice to see the guys so supportive of each other. You capture the good-natured camaraderie and overlooked sensitivity of pirates quite admirably. As for the barkeep, I strongly recommend seamless bodies.

Thank you! ah well... of course the seamless body... If I had one, I would surely have used it for these scenes - but alas, still no seamless male bodies in this collection. Should have thought of some tattoos too - but it had been a rather sudden take... (The sequel has been in my mind for months now... the cast has been chosen too ... but somehow the production does not get going.)

Very funny story-lines, Illusion! Great work! Sorry for not commenting regularly in this section.
