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?

You are wonderful for trying, but alas, I don't think you can. It requires love, and not mine, or else I would have been out of this problem in no time flat. My Master must love a girl, and she him in return.
video
[The idea of forcing someone to fall in love is abhorrent, and she seems incredibly unsettled.]
And your master is not here for it.
video
[It was the worst curse. Who even does this to people? Still, if he lets himself despair over it, he's done for, so continued optimism it is. ]
He is not. Trust me, you all would have noticed him if he was. He's very...toothy.
video
There are many with magic or experienced healers here... I will seek out those who may be able to do something.
.... Toothy?
[She shows her own teeth at that, as if to confirm she heard him right. And yeah, she's definitely got fangs in the place of teeth, but they're still normal tooth-sized.]
video
[Seriously, she is putting herself right up there on his Favourite People list.]
He was transformed too. He became a...well a beast.
video
[She offers a comforting, warm smile.]
... A beast?
video
A beast. He is...hard to describe. Quite terrifying, though.
video
That is correct. ... I have been remiss in introducing myself. My name is Aria Forte, knight of the kingdom of Harmony. It is a pleasure to meet you, sir.
video
The pleasure is all mine, Cherie! I am Lumiére.
video
Lumiere, then. [he said he was an entertainer, so she's pretty sure he wouldn't have a formal title...] Do you know what augment you have?
video
I...am not sure. Is there a way to know?

Something does come though, a little dull at first, before petering into existence.]
...Communications?
