@ixtlidekami I would watch the movie. Especially if it's done in anime format.
A â for you!
@VisualInspiration
It could be done in JoJo's Bizarre Adventure visual style. Or Studio Ghibli's. Or 70's Toei's. Or Clamp's! =)
But it'd have to be RRR-rated or most of the true meaning would be lostâŚ=)
âThank you for receiving me, my Lady! I am honored because your wisdom and knowledge are praised all over the country. Every nobleman and every...â
âI am honored myself, Mr Phroggs. What kind of help can I be to you?â
âI need counseling, my Lady. I am the master of the gunmakersâ guild and I have heard of an improved composition of the ingredients that make gunpoweder even dealier a weapon.â
âOh well, you must surely speak of potassium chlorate. Mix this with phosphor, a full pound each, and then add it to another two pounds of conventional black powder. This will remarkably increase the range of muskets and cannons. But be sure to work only on Wednesdays or on Saturdays. Tomorrow is Thursday, so better commence your work today.â
âThank you very much, my Lady! I will start at once! And when my Lord, Baron de Courville, returns from his â undoubtedly victorious â exedition against the Borussians, he will be pleased to find a new set of weaponsâŚâ
âUndoubtedly, Mr Phroggs.â
The gunsmith bowed and left the organgerie. She nodded and returned to a rare kind of orchid she was growing in a mosaicked garden-pottery.
Undoubtedly, she said to herself and half smiled, half scoffed. She very well knew the chances of Courvilleâs campaign. After all, the Baron himself had asked for advice the very day before his departure, calling it âdiscussing strategical optionsâ. On the other hand â this knight Gniedelbert of Wolperting had asked her to bless his sword for a fight against the last dragon on the northern hemisphere. She had cast an Elven spell on the blade, and just to be sure, added a Catholic prayer to it. Whispering âDo not tell the king â and come back unharmedâ, sheâd blown a kiss over the sword. These were funny times at the dawn of the modern age. Even funnier were men and their sportsâŚ
Not too far from the borders of the Borussian empire, the kingâs army was defeated, the Baronâs throat pierced by a dagger. Poor Gniedelbert was eaten by the dragon, obviously unable to unsheathe his sword, while his squires fled in panic.
Somewhere in the city, the gunshop exploded. She smiled again.
@knodel some ladies just want to see men burn...
Interesting read of the image. A â for you!
