[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.]

Yeah, we're identical. But also, we're kind of not!

[Louie smiles smugly as he continues.]

I've been here longer, so today's my 16th birthday. Huey's only turning 14.

Oh. [That… kind of makes sense, in a way. But…] Doesn’t that feel… I don’t know… weird?
pennyloafer: (hesitant)

[Yeah, it feels unkind not to lock this. He's got to at least try not to draw Huey's attention directly to it. Things have been better when it comes to the age change, but Louie doesn't want to blow that. And since Huey is near enough to hear him, text it is.]

Yeah. Kind of, I mean: Huey's always tried his best to really own the big brother role, even though our middle brother's only two minutes younger than him.

Personally? I think me being older than him now is no deal. Huey's still the same big brother, but sometimes it's weird that I've seen and done so much more here by now...

[Uh-oh. Did he say something he shouldn't have...? Maybe it's best not to even ask.]

Wait, so he's older but only by a few minutes?

[That is a whole other layer of Weirdness that Doppio isn't sure how to tackle. Did the distinction matter that much before? Does that mean it matters even more now??]

You know what
We don't have to talk about it, it's ok.

Yeah. Family stuff, you know? It's complicated.

[So yeah, not talking about it sounds great in Louie's book!]
epitaffio: (ouchftermath)

[personal profile] epitaffio 2024-05-11 03:18 pm (UTC)(link)
Right.
I bet.


[Doppio wouldn't really know about that. He just imagines, if you've looked identical to someone else your entire life, it must be bizarre to suddenly... not. It's sort of an abstract thought.]

[personal profile] pennyloafer 2024-05-14 11:00 pm (UTC)(link)
Anyway, how's vacation going for you?
epitaffio: (I'll be waiting.)

[personal profile] epitaffio 2024-05-17 07:22 pm (UTC)(link)
It's been pretty nice! The weather here kind of reminds me of home.
pennyloafer: (look it's pretty simple...)

[personal profile] pennyloafer 2024-05-18 03:26 am (UTC)(link)
Oh yeah? Cool. The weather here's been pretty great when it isn't raining. I would love if the weather in Duckburg was like that most of the time.
epitaffio: (sick a new phone)

[personal profile] epitaffio 2024-05-20 06:39 pm (UTC)(link)
How come? Is the weather you're used to THAT bad?
pennyloafer: (so what do you say?)

[personal profile] pennyloafer 2024-05-26 08:27 pm (UTC)(link)
Nah, it's fine, usually. But the good weather here has been perfect beach weather. And I love that.

Why do you think I'm so happy to be living on the Sevii Islands these days?
epitaffio: (CRAVING MY MCNUGGIES?)

[personal profile] epitaffio 2024-05-27 05:17 pm (UTC)(link)
So it's more like you wish you could go to the beach every day, huh?
That does sound really nice.
