[Video] [From the Marivisa] [Public to the Fleet]
[The first angle you see of the phone screen is, strangely enough, looking up at one of the ceilings of the Marivisa. Out of the corner of the screen, you can the edge of a shelf, or perhaps a desk. Slowly peering over the edge, you can see a small, Baroque style clock.
Which has eyes. And a mouth. And it's two hands twitch on the side of his small mechanical face like whiskers. You cannot believe you can make this out, but yes, it does in fact look like the clock is scowling downwards.
Then sighing. Rather dramatically, at that. Then the clock disappears. There is the sound of wood scuffling across metal, then a 'Careful Cogsworth, careful waaaugh!', and the sound of a crash as something wooden slips off of something plastic and then down to something hard. Like the metal floor.
After a moment, the phone is tilted back up into the clock's face, and it growls at all of you in an impossibly posh British accent.]
I don't know where I am. I don't know where this is. I don't know what is happening. But whatever It is? It is somehow Lumiere's fault!

Re: [Video]
Not here. Although Back Home, he's throwing dinner parties, inviting in strangers, straddling off to go find his lady friends instead opening doors to wicked enchantresses....

[Although he does know very little of the story.]

[Have all the feelings Seymour, all the feelings, before a long-hard sigh.]
...we should have taught him better, after his parents died. We should have been firmer with him. Spare the rod, spoil the child.

[At least that's what he was always told as a child.
He shakes his head.]
I know Lumiere told me that he felt like he deserved it, but I still have a hard time believing that anyone deserves to be cursed like that just for not being good enough at raising a child.
[Not even necessarily bad just not good enough.]
