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.

[Give him a second as he grabs his quill and notebook, flipping to a clear page and scribbling down notes.]

So it's linked to your prince. [Hm. He scratches at his chin thoughtfully.] Presumably, the link would be weaker since we're probably years and who knows how many stars away from your prince or where this curse was enacted. If we can sever that link, somehow...

[The thought of severing his link with the Beast worries him more than it should. Would it be like turning his back? Cutting himself free while the rest of them suffer? He shifts, uncomfortable. ]

Ideally, I would like a way to bring the cure back with me. People I love suffer with this as well, it would not be right for me to entirely cut myself from them and a potential way to save them also.

[He really wishes he was more learned in regards to curses. Or that an Archmage was here.]

That's admirable, I don't blame you. I'd want to do the same. The curse is linked to your prince though, if we wanted to try ending it, or trying to change the terms, we'd need him, I think.

...That would probably be an...interesting scenario. He would not be happy here.

[He'd probably smash a hold in a ship and get everyone sucked into space. ]

I'm not sure many people who end up here tend to be happy. At least at first.

[That would be... awful.]

Perhaps people who are no longer alive? Or come from terrible worlds? This could be an escape.

...But no, the Master would not like to be so confined.

That's true, I hadn't thought about that.

I hope that he doesn't end up here then, if only to spare him the confinement. And I promise, we'll try to find a way to free your from the curse that you can share.

In some cases, even this is the better option, no?

Merci, mon ami. Your help is greatly appreciated.

I suppose it is.

Thank me when we figure something out. [He's guessing that was a 'thank you' anyway.]

I shall bear that in mind, mon ami.
