[Does this look like a harassed clock with a human face? Does it? Good, because it's Cogsworth, sitting in front of a window on the Marvisa and he looks like he just swallowed about a half a dozen lemons. In his tiny brass hands he is holding a piece of paper, and he keeps fiddling with it, shifting it between his two hands.

He puts one brass hand up to his mouth, clears his throat, and then fumbles with the paper for a moment. Could he be ... nervous? It's possible.

Lips pressed together, the time hands on his face twitching, he states flatly.]

Hello. My name is Cogsworth and I am a ... [now he has to look at the word.] Ho-mo-sexual. I realize that I am a ... clock, but I assure you that I am not a ho-mo-sex-ual clock, but a ho-mo-sex-ual man. I have been ... told. Rigorously.

[Here he is glowering.]

That I need to ... 'embrace' this. So. If there are any ... individual males who would not mind ... being complimented by a ... human clock, then, ah. Please! Come forward.

[Okay he'll try a smile but it's more of a sheepish grimace at this point. God help him.]

[video] YES I WIN

[timelysteward]

[Cogsworth eyes narrow as the man keeps staring at him, but he manages to relax his stance a little when Lance speaks.]

Ah. Well. Thank you. Honestly I ..I.. . I never planned on doing so, but here we are.

HAD TO CLEAN OFF MY LAPTOP MONITOR AND EVERYTHING

[He's just confused, okay. Lance has seen a lot in his young life, but sometimes he has to get his brain to reboot.]

It helps to have people around supporting you. So, er, if you need anyone to talk to, just let me know! I'd teach you some of my pick up lines, but I'm kind of starting to suspect I need to start thinking of better ones.

Re: HAD TO CLEAN OFF MY LAPTOP MONITOR AND EVERYTHING

[The clock tapped his brass hands together nervously.]

That is ...very generous. Thank you, monsieur, for offering. -- guidance.

[the_tailor]

It's the least I can do! I mean, I've been through similar stuff before myself, so I know having support is a mega important deal.

[timelysteward]

[And now Cogsworth is going to be the one is going to be staring for a moment.]

... You have been cursed to be a piece of furniture?

[Just how many people had this Enchantress gotten her crabby claws into!?]

[the_tailor]

What? What, no! I'm 100% human right now.

[Okay, well, the curse thing explains the clock thing.]

I meant the sexuality thing!

[timelysteward]

OH. Oh, very good!

[Another long pause, before he stated simply.]

... so you also have questions about your, ah, sexuality?

[the_tailor]

Uh, well, I don't have questions anymore. I figured out the answers.

[So yay for that?]

[timelysteward]

Oh! ... so ... do you ... like only men as well?

[Listen this sexuality word is still pretty new to him. He's not sure on all the parlances. Oh, wait, sheet of paper! He skims down to the bottom.]

Or are you a bi-sex-ual?

[the_tailor]

Yeah. Uh, the bisexual part. I mean. It'd be an awful disservice to the universe to limit this greatness to just one gender, anyway!

[timelysteward]

Oh! Well! Uhm, no, you are quite a handsome young man so -- I could not see you doing that.

[the_tailor]

[He grins at the compliment. No matter who from, even a talking clock, Lance soaks up praise like a sponge.]

Takes some work to look this good, but it's worth it.

[timelysteward]

Well I couldn't agree more.

[Watch him puff up because Appearance is So Important.]

You are doing it well, though!

[the_tailor]

Thank you! And you look like you take care of yourself, too. I mean, you're all...shiny and polished.

[How does one compliment a clock.]

[timelysteward]

As I said, appearances are important.

[Smoothing down the sides of his clock casing, because he does takes pride with how he's upkept.]

I polish and cleanse myself regularly.
