    I listened to a few James Cagney, Edward G Robinson,, and Humphrey Bogart movie clips to pick up some of the gangster style.This was a passing effort, not great.The Boss -- at least his name -- was inspired by Jackie Gleason's character, Reginald von Gleason III. The name Lachtemann was my attempt to make up a name in German: Laugh Man.

    The grenadiers are from Galejro's Moon Palace. They look close enough to the British Redcoats from the Am. Revolutionary to work for me.

    Too funny! Was hearing the British Grenadiers tune when they were marching up, but then it immediately changed to:



    Really humorous episode!

      Those old gangster movies were great. I watched quite a few clips in the last couple of days.

    Really good use of the "redcoats" and I'm already looking forward to the images you'll be able to accomplish at the Moon Palace. The "invitation" puts a little dint in the Craig's plans but it's a great take on those gunpoint "invitations" from film noir thrillers. (Also, allows you to expand the Craig's investigation without motivation from them - very clever plot device.)
    I like the switch to an almost B&W for the dressing for dinner shots. Recalls the film noir theme along with the elegance for formal dinner parties from that era.
    Another excellent chapter.

      The film noir genre was started by a few small studios that didn't have enough money to create lavish sets, or buy expensive lighting. Soo... They got creative with fewer lights and simpler scenes - a detective's office, a back alley. I suspect that it was more of pure genius than just luck brought on by circumstance. Can't say that I'm great at the style, but I do try to imitate.

      Thanks.

    Laird - gdamnit...... where do you get it from. How do tyou come up with such wicked stuff Laughing my silly head off here and can hardly type......... Those "Redcoats" seems to be sorely lacking in the "Proper British accent" department. Maybe a bit more housebreaking........

    Yep, eccentric persom with enough power and/or wealth to gather a squad and regulate it up to "using swords" can be responsible for pretty much everything from slavery to hanging red shoes on trees ))) Intriguing chapter, can't wait to know what will come next! ^-^

      Yes, he is eccentric. Red tennis shoes, that's a good one. More so since JoJo wears red tennis shoes with her shorts outfit. I just need to take the pix for the next episode. I liked the way it turned out. Stay tuned.

      Curiouser and curiouser. I wrote the episode for the meeting with von Lachtemann last night -- it should be interesting, I think.Thanks, the paintings are from Vronykah and HeavenThere.

      Now that's my kind of gal. When we eat crawfish, my wife sucks the heads. The way they're going, Max and JoJo might enslave the Redcoats before they get to the Moon Palace.

      Thanks. The last shot was a good set up. I wasn't happy with the lighting though

    Hmm....must have been a crash of the system...so again.

    Interesting and fun invite to dinner by the "Brits" Love the irreverent response from the Craig's, the dance pose is perfect to show class and disregard for the implied threats. You do a great job of keeping them in character and still weave the story in with canon and add on mods. Great chapter and set up.

    Fun story on Hemmingway, it's truth is irrelevant if you're a fisherman. After fishing a river I frequented in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan, I finally stopped in the local grill and pub to 'refresh'. Place had been there for at least a 100 years. There was a signed picture of Hemmingway behind the bar and other tributes scattered around on the walls. Instead of the common Key West outfit, he was wearing a trout fishing vest and holding a cane fly rod. The locals insisted the river full of Brookies I was so fond of fishing myself was also his favorite. It remained unknown, because in telling the story to others Hemmingway would name another body of water in another state to protect his private paradise. Got to love fisherman lies. The river is still full of Brookies......

      The servers were really dead. I took a nap. Thanks. I was debating whether I needed any more pictures of "talking with the Redcoats."Then it occurred to me that JoJo would be happy to go to a dinner party, and maybe there would be dancing.

      That is a great story about Hemingway. So believable that he would lie about the location. Around here, they stock the little lakes with trout, but they're fished out in no time and they're small. I have a cane fly rod passed down from father to son to grandson from the '40s. I keep saying I'm gonna learn how to use it.

      As a life long fly fisherman....treasure that cane rod, but don't be afraid to use it. They're wonderful and very different from the graphite stuff.

    Interesting to see what will go down on that diner party,.. besides "fish talk" ,..
    It is most likely the slaver they will go to diner to so that will put a strain on their perfect use of language,..

      I imagine they'll discuss more than fish, although it will likely be scattered with the usual chatter from M & J. I tried to do soe movie gangster talk. Meh, I guess it was OK.
