Brielle: “And here we are at the park ready to hunt eggs!”
Acco: “I’m excited Papi, so how do we play?”
Alejandro: “Uhm… Yeah how? Brielle?”
Brielle: “So uh… Go and look around for eggs. The one with the most eggs wins.”
Atreo: “Cool. Acco’s already lost because he's Acco.”
Brielle: “I love that 2 symmetrical rows of 10 bushes were already here, making this a fair game.”
Acco: “Another egg, this is fun!”
Atreo: "I bet my eggs are way prettier than yours."
Brielle: “Just to make sure, you each performed the egg hunting interaction 10 times?”
Atreo: “Yes and I did amazing.”
Acco: “Yup. Can we eat something now? I’m really hungry.”
Brielle: “Of course! We can have some BBQ after we've counted your eggs and announce the winner."
Brielle: “Did you both put all your eggs on the table? Yes? Let’s count!”
Acco: “I have 5 eggs that’s pretty good right?”
Atreo: “HA! I have 6!”
Brielle: "That makes Atreo the winner… And the next legacy heir!!”
Atreo: “Wow, really? I'm heir?! Because of an egg hunt competition?”
Brielle: “It was meant to be a battle and I decided this was the most peaceful way to do it.”
Alejandro: “Genius again. You're on a roll today!"
Acco: "I'm sad now."
Brielle: “Aw come here sweetie." *hugs*
Brielle: “You’re still special Acco, you always will be...”
Atreo: “Not as special as me though, the next legacy heir!”
Alejandro: “Be nice to your brother buddy. It was almost a tie.”
Atreo: “But it wasn’t because I’m awesome.”
With a bloody fratricide style battle averted, the Atherstones tuck into a celebratory BBQ.
Acco: “Atreo will just use being heir as an excuse to be meaner to me… If that’s even possible.” *sadly eats hotdog *
Atreo: “So Mum what are the perks of being heir?
Brielle: “There aren’t many sweetie. You get the ‘urge’ to do things, like living on a cursed cat lot and collecting postcards. Only the Watcher knows what's in store for you. ”
Atreo: “Uhm, excuse me?”
Acco: “Ha congrats bro!”
Alejandro: “It’s not all bad though. You won’t be killed by neighbourhood stories or end up like Taman; divorced and alien pregnant.”
Brielle: “Unless you’re unlucky and you get the ‘urge’ to be all that and more-”
Atreo: “ARGH! This sucks!”
Acco: “I disagree."
Back at home…
Atreo: “You can do this Atreo. Asmara will be your wife; you’ll be successful and happy! Come on -manifest- You're too awesome and important for silly emotions like fear and doubt. It’s not like you have a choice anyway.”
That’s right my new heir. That's right.
