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 Laughing, he pulls himself to his feet, brushing off his (outdated, so outdated) clothing before racing off to find his crew.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.]
[Video]
[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?

Re: [Video]
No I did not.
[Which means. He is still cursed. He is still cursed and will forever be cursed. Of course not. He was in charge, he should have watched Adam more closely and taught him proper manners and now Lumiere would be ... sleeping with everyone and he would have to watch.]
I am. Going now.
[Video]
[He rubs his face, this wasn't right. It didn't make any SENSE. ]
But you WERE with us back home. The curse lifted from us too. I know, you punched me literally a few moments before I woke up here. With your very human fists.
[And, because he decides that needs no further explanation: ]
Why didn't Atroma send you home too? That's not... fair.
[You know what, Atroma, he's pretty fucking done with you these days. Thanks for the body and everything, but come on. ]
Re: [Video]
But I did not. Not here. Not at all. I am here.
So now. Now I have to go. And I ... it isn't fair. Yet it is, isn't it? It was all my fault.
[Video]
For the last time, you overgrown pocket watch, it was not your fault. You know it wasn't your fault. And it doesn't matter anyway, Belle broke the curse. Back home, you are human. This is just...Atroma. It's nothing to do with you.
And where exactly are you planning on going?
Re: [Video]
Cogsworth looks at him for a long, long moment.]
Well clearly Atroma does not think I am worthy. Of anything.
[He huffs.]
I'm a clock. I'll find a shelf and let the dust gather.
[Forever, apparently. His small brass arm is shaking slightly as he goes to try and jam it against the off button.]
[Video]
[He pinches the bridge of his nose, exhaling sharply. ]
Look. I'm sorry you didn't go home too, but that doesn't mean there's no other way. Cogsworth don't-
[And he's gone. Ugh, he's gonna PUNT you. ]
Re: [Video]
This isn't drama. This is my life. Or what remains of it. So just. Just stop. All right, Lumiere? Just ... stop.
[And it clicks off again. Wherever Cogsworth is now, he's in the dark and he sounds so, so weary that it is clear that he has given up entirely.]
