QUADRUPLET THEATER
“We four brothers are in desperate need of some character differentiation.”
“““What’s this about, Alfrik?”””
“We’re some of the mightiest prums in all the realm, and yet we’re never spoken of except in the same breath.”
“I’ve certainly heard of one sore loser who claimed we were cowardly curs for ganging up on him.”
“Well, we’ll teach him a lesson later.”
“We’ve said time and time again we are one soul in four bodies, yet the ignorant masses don’t understand.”
“But it’s true. We all look and sound the same. People say they can’t even tell us apart and that we might as well not have first names and just go by The Gullivers.”
“““What?!”””
“That’s why I say we’re in dire need of differentiation. Even I don’t want my achievements to be lumped in with those of my foolish siblings.”
“We’ll deal with you later, Alfrik.”
“But he has a point.”
“All right, then let’s distinguish ourselves! Let me hear you roar!!”
“I admire the part of you that latches on so quickly to any half-formed idea that comes your way, Grer.”
“But even if we’re talking about differentiation, how are we supposed to do it? It’s a lazy idea, but what if we all talk in drastically different ways?”
“That would do the trick. But if we’re all going to adopt some clever catchphrase, then we should agree on a theme, right?”
“A theme…”
“What is Lady Freya most into these days…Rabbits, maybe?”
“““That’s it!”””
“Why don’t we all hop down to the Dungeon?”
“Berling, you harebrain! That’s what I was going to pick!”
“You’re no better, Dvalinn! You’re ear-redeemable!”
“That’s a real groaner, Grer! Um, let’s see…I bet you thought you were hare-larious!”
“““Bad Alfrik!!!”””
“What? Why?!”
“That’s the same as Dvalinn’s!”
“You can’t just steal my idea!”
“Have you no shame?”
“You all just hate me because I’m the oldest! I’ve had enough—wait, is that Lady Freya?!”
“All right, let’s show Lady Freya the new and improved Gulliver Brothers!”
“Why, you’re looking delightful as always, Lady Freya! Enough to make a man hopping mad!”
“Absolutely stunning, Milady! Did you do something to your…hare?”
“You look ear-resistable!”
“Erm…Hare-lo, Lady Freya!”
“Why on earth are you all putting so much effort into sounding completely insufferable today? And I still can’t tell the four of you apart.”
““““N-nooooo!””””
