001: Video
Who: Lumiére and YOU
Broadcast: Fleetwide
Action: SS Marsiva
When: Right noe
[There are some things a person comes to expect in their life. Of course, magical curses that turn you and your colleagues into inanimate objects tends to move those goalposts a little, but you still expect certain things to remain the way they are.
For instance, if you live in an 18th century castle in the middle of France, you honestly don't expect to be suddenly not in that castle. And you absolutely do not expect to be suddenly in space. You sure don't expect to somehow understand, at least vaguely what space is. These are things Lumiére did not expect to happen to him today, and yet here they are, happening.
But then again, the Flooters probably don't expect to see a sentient candelabra shuffling in front of their screens as he presses his little candle hands to the window, staring out in the blank nothingness. Lumiére has no idea how he got here, he has no idea WHY he's here, but there's one thing he knows for absolute certainty-
Cogsworth is going to KILL him. ]
Zut alors! What is this place?
[He really, genuinely doesn't have time for this. Usually he's a big fan of all kinds of tomfoolery, but he's kind of on a really tight schedule right now and it's really, really not one he can shirk. He needs to get out of...whatever this is and get back. Like. Now. He turns, looking around him in the vast room, hoping for a sign of life.]
Hello? Anyone home?

Hello? Anyone home?
video.
So I stay here and wait until I get moved? Is there anything I can do until that time comes? Does anyone need some entertainment, for example?
[He doesn't really want to just sit idle. ]

You can talk to people on your devices, and there should be some books to read or things to watch.
[ But, ah - ]
What kind of entertainment?
video.
Oh, these little magical boxes. There are many people here?
[He misses talking to people who aren't...you know inanimate. He wants to ask what he's supposed to watch because that seems like an odd comment to make (what's a TV???) but he gets distracted. ]
Normally, it would be cooking, a dinner show, but I'm lacking in both fingers and food for the former. But the latter, I can absolutely do that.
...Though that might have to wait until I'm not alone in here.

[ And she's sure that's bound to be entertaining with the sheer mass of different people there are around on the fleet. She can't even say she's one of the least odd out of them all, considering.
Still... ]
You can do all those things when you're shuffled! I'm sure there are lots of people that wouldn't mind helping out, too.

Excellent, I look forward to it. And you yourself have been most helpful mademoiselle! Merci beaucoup!
