[Video]
[The PokeGear opens on a wing of the natural history museum in Cascarrafa. The most visible display is a timeline about the Age of Exploration in Paldea, trailing all along one wall of the hallway and through various artifact shadowboxes and other such displays. There’s a scan along this wall for a moment before Huey pops up, eyes practically glowing.]
Look at all this incredible information! Like- hold on-
[BLURRY. Then he points out a specific part of the timeline.]
Did you know the academy that’s hosting us was created over 800 years ago??
[He grins.]
I could spend weeks in this city! There’s all kinds of museums here-
[There’s a sigh from someone-off camera, before Louie leans into the shot. He doesn’t look nearly as excited as Huey - quite the contrary - but there’s some amusement in his expression, all the same.]
Yeah, we’re not doing that. Our next stop is to check out the place across the street selling antiques. [He turns to his brother with a smirk.] After all, Hue, you’re not the only one whose birthday it is today.
[That gets a snort out of Huey who rolls his eyes, though not without a smirk of his own.]
Fine. [And back to the PokeGear] Point is, if you like history, be sure to swing by Cascarrafa’s museums.
[Louie snickers, laying his arms over his brother’s head and teasingly leaning against him to get better in frame… And to be a nuisance, of course.]
And if you want to help two recently reunited triplets celebrate their birthday, we will accept any and all gifts!
[That gets a squawk out of Huey.]
Louie!
[Was that at the brotherly leaning? The blatant request?
Yes.]
((OOC: Tags will come from either Huey or Louie, or both! All in their own threads))

[VIDEO trust me trust me]
So....what wing of the museum has the age of exploration exhibit....
[Emporio is at the Statues. He's at the paintings. He's at the combination Statues-Paintings-]
..........................You guys didn't just leave and go into another museum right..?
[help]
no subject
No, we're still at the same museum. How long have you been missing us?
[Wait.]
Or is... this you noticing we got separated?
no subject
[At least he can laugh this off??? This is what you signed up for Huey. This is the guy you have now become F R I E N D S with.]
Yes?
[EMPORIO NO]
no subject
Alright well, we'll try to meet up and get back on track. I can see a little around you, but not enough to figure out your location. What's nearby?
no subject
[He zooms out with the camera on his pokegear. It looks as if there's a lot of more classical based sculpture around him, with the occasional associated painting. Ooooh, Poke-Michelangelo's~]
no subject
Got it! [And he starts moving.] If you go down the hallway and turn left, hit the end of that hallway and then go right, we should be able to meet up in the subsequent area of exhibits.
no subject
Got it, [he half repeats, already heading off down the hall.] Good map work!
no subject
Well. I do have my cartography badge! Though it did take some doing, after a misadventure or two.
But reading a map is a piece of cake for a Junior Woodchuck like myself, much less one of the great-nephews of the legendary adventurer Scrooge McDuck!
no subject
[Not a reaction to the legendary Scrooge! Ala-]
...That's...the one who can swim in money right?
[Oh nevermind there he goes. Of course that's what he got from Louie.]
no subject
It doesn't help that while Huey may be surprised Emporio didn't notice the brothers' absence sooner, Louie can't say he's much better.]
We didn't ditch you! I thought you must've gone to use the bathroom... Once I realized you weren't with us...
[OOPS.]
no subject
[Louie this sounds a lot like he was completely forgotten while you both wandered off-]
Should I come to you or the other way around..?
no subject
[Well. Probably...?]
Or you and I can get back here once I find you, but you shouldn't have to find us because we went off too soon.
no subject
no subject
Well, this wing is about exploration in Paldea. I to get here, we went back in the direction of the gift shop...
no subject
[He starts walking in that direction as soon as Louie says as much.] I should probably hold off asking where you went from there until I get there...
no subject
no subject
[It's a weak laugh that he gives, but a laugh all the same.] Want to fill me in on the displays I missed in the meantime? You can use cliff notes, [The boy adds, grinning.]
no subject
If you wanted more than that and decided to ask me, I'd have to seriously question if you were the real Emporio.
We've only been to one exhibit besides this exploration one, about one of the kings this place had. Turns out, he was a jerk, and I think a merchant scammed him? Which is kind of cool.
no subject
[wait]
Was there an Ea-Nasir in your history actually?
[crap it's probably more of an animal-pun-nasir]
no subject
He was trying to tell me how important it is to protect a business's reputation, beacuse oldey-timey stories are always Scrooge's favorite way to teach something.
no subject
Ea-Nasir actually kept his customer complaints. It's why he had so many- and on top of that, complaints were made on unfired clay, since 'notes' were meant to be re-used. So there can only be two reasons that we have all of them...either someone set fire to his house, and the clay records fired in the heat...
[Emporio trails off. And grins.]
Or he personally fired them for posterity.
[Emporio's Oldey-Timey Stories >>>> Scrooges ???]
no subject
No way, really? You gotta wonder if he was petty or just really proud of what he kept pulling off...
[And noticing the area behind Emporio on his end, he adds:] You're gonna want to go down the second hall off to the right after the gift shop.
Anyway, that's too funny. How did you even learn about that?
no subject
[Okay, next hall....]
Honestly, just...way too much time to read. Though the news about his 'receipts' was a little more recent by my time.
