Video;
Who: Lumiére and you!
Broadcast: Fleetwide
Action: Wonderduck
When: Today!
[Since arriving at the Fleet, Lumiére has tended towards just using the voice function to communicate with people outside of the Wonderduck. It makes his life considerably easier. He doesn't have to navigate the mine-field of questions that come with just looking at him. He can talk to people like a normal person, and it's great.
Today, though, he needs to actually address the problem of his general...him-ness, and as such, he'll switch the video on. He casts the screen a warm smile all the same, giving a little wave of a candle-hand.]
Bonjour, my fellow Fleet members. This is quite an interesting planet, no? I hear the concerts here are really something to experience. I might have to test out the waters myself. It has been a while since I got to enjoy one.
[It's not the kind of concert he's used to, but after a decade of no concerts at all, he'll sure as heck give this new kind a try.]
But! I had another reason for speaking to you today. I have heard there are several people in the Fleet who are experienced with magic. I was hoping I could speak to them, especially if they know anything about curses- because as you can see [he chuckles, gesturing to himself] I have something that might interest their magically inclined minds.
[Filtered to Winn]
As promised. Here I am, settled on the Wonderduck and checking in. [Like three weeks too late but ya'll can't expect miracles. If you wanted good time-keeping, you should have befriended the clock]
[Otherwise, Lumiére can be found happily hopping around the table of the Wonderduck, carefully setting it so it at least looks like an actual, fancy dinner table and not a metal slab where people sit and eat. They may be in space, but they can still have a little culinary refinement, god.

no subject
He should probably say something.]
Wait, magic exists?
[He felt kinda stupid saying that, since he quickly remembers that just before waking up here, he killed a man after being promised that his wishes would be granted.
... Dear god he really did kill a guy last night, didn't he?]
no subject
That would just be uncomfortable.]
I was as surprised as you are right now. I did not think it existed either, until it happened to me.
[Sorry, Seymour buddy, you absolutely killed a guy last night. ]
no subject
He does break it after a little bit but wow that's an uncomfortable silence.]
So... you're cursed to be a candle then? What's that like?
[Seymour that's insensitive.]
no subject
It has been a very...enlightening experience.
[At least he can make jokes about it. ]
no subject
Gee, it must be really hard for you to get around like that.
[Dear god Seymour that's even worse.]
no subject
It was a little difficult at first, but I have been at it a while now. I've perfected my technique. It is not as easy as two legs, but I can still move around. I have it easier than the teapot.
[It's hard to tell if it's a joke or not. ]
no subject
Wait, how many of you got cursed?
[Well as long as they're talking about it...]
no subject
no subject
[What the fuck??? Although with that many people cursed, he couldn't help but wonder if all living inanimate objects are secretly humans.
... Actually in that case, Audrey II would have had to have been a pretty fucked up human being.]
What did you guys even do that forty of you were cursed?
[Oh boy is it backstory time?]
no subject
Ah, well, the curse was directed at the Prince me and my fellow servants serve. He- was not quite cordial to an Enchantress, and here we are.
[Which is a deeply abridged version. Lumiére tends to keep large parts of it to himself, lest he make the Beast look bad. Loyalty. ]
no subject
Well he's not gonna judge that, since Seymour himself is trying to not talk about his own past, but...]
So she cursed you because someone you worked for is a jerk?
[Slight judgement on this Enchantress there.]
I really wish there was something I could do. You really don't seem like you deserve this.
no subject
[He's lying, but he's working very hard to make himself sound convincing. ]
That is okay, mon ami. There are a lot of people here with magical abilities. Perhaps one of them will have the answer I need to break this curse. We can but hope, no?
no subject
[Well he doesn't know a whole lot about this guy to judge, at least
I guess you're right. If magic exists, then someone out there would have to know how to reverse a curse like that, right?
[That's how magic works.]
