I can't wait to be human again

Who: Lumière and YOU
Broadcast: Fleetwide
Action: Wonderduck
When: 16th Jan

[Wonderduck]

[Since the curse, Lumière doesn't dream or do...anything he did when he had a living body. Calibrations was the last time that had happened to him in a decade, and that...well, that didn't really count. Still, upon groggily waking from his sleep his first thought was that Atroma had dropped a dream into his head again. A nice dream, mind, but cruel too, given the circumstances. To give the impression that the curse had been broken at all was a little nasty even for-

He stretches out an arm which would have been a harmless action as a candelabra- much less so when you're a six foot seven tall man resting on top of the kitchen cabinet. He rolls off and hits the ground with a thud and ow that hurt. It takes a moment for him to register that it did hurt- sitting up in confusion and staring at his hands - Hands he has HANDS again. - A quick check and yep, he is definitely back into a human body again.
]

Zut alors, it wasn't a dream.

[He doesn't even CARE that he's still trapped in the Fleet- that his journey home was only brief. What matters right now is he's alive for the first time in a decade and it's wonderful. Laughing, he pulls himself to his feet, brushing off his (outdated, so outdated) clothing before racing off to find his crew. YA'LL ABOUT TO GET HUGGED.]

[For those who had found him in his calibration room, this will be a familiar face- otherwise, the network is graced by an entirely new people- though once you hear his accent, it's clear he's anything but. He's beaming from ear to ear, utterly delighted. This is the Best Day.]

Bonjour, mes amis! It seems I had a sort journey home for a while, but I'm back! It was not a very interesting trip back home. Very boring, really. Nothing happened.

[He chuckles to himself, examining his fingernails.]

So. What did I miss?

Oh my word, you have skin!

No, wait, that came out hideously. You have — a lot of things, very much person-shaped, and...

[..............]

You're not a candleman anymore.

[overall translation: oh my god lumiere this is the best news what the fuck]

Well, congratulations! You are —

Wait, does this mean... your prince had, you know. Found someone? Fallen in love?

[THIS IS THE COOLEST THING. He is trying so hard to be professional and formal, but this is very difficult, as are the matters of the heart!!!]

Belle... A lovely name. He is a lucky man then, I must say...!

Also... I imagine this will be a doozy of a thing to explain to any neighboring townsfolk.

That must've been it.

Which is even more ridiculous, considering what goal you were given to change back.

But regardless — how's being able to look at people at eye-level?

... I'm suddenly extremely happy to be a tall person as well.

Tragic for the vertically challenged.

Oh, goodness. Should I invest in padding for the top of the doorframe?
