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.

[Well, could understand that. Without feet, he'd have to hop around and that's a bit far.]

I'm working in the asteroid right now, but once my schedule opens up I'll be sure to make a visit.

In the mean time, would you mind telling me how you got cursed like that in the first place?

Ah ha, inhospitality. I know some faeries who've cast curses for that sort of thing.

[Sympathetic shrug.]

They can be bad in that aspect. Sometimes there's a lesson to be learned, but... well, they're not very good when it comes to limiting collateral damage to bystanders.

Children too? Now that simply isn't right. One should not curse children under any circumstances aside from their own protection.

I think I would like to have words with your mysterious Enchantress.

That's... a rather unfortunate name for the coincidence.

[Going to try not to think of all the teacups he's gone through over the years. At least he knows for sure that none of them were ever people.]

So I'm getting.

[Considering Lumiére's name too. A faerie's own sense of humor, that was for sure.]

I hope the transformation doesn't hurt, at least? You seem to be in good humor despite it.

That's a decent way of looking at it.

For a Frenchman, you seem a rather agreeable fellow.

[Does have to poke a little. After all, he's very, very English. At least it's friendly poking?]

[As he should be.]

Now if only the same could be said for my colleague.

Ha! I work in government at home. Pompousness comes in every language.

But I was speaking of my peacock of a French counterpart.

[Snorts. Of course he takes that as a compliment.]

That much, we're in agreement on.
