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 Laughing, he pulls himself to his feet, brushing off his (outdated, so outdated) clothing before racing off to find his crew.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

[Huh, look at that. That at is definitely Lumière and he is definitely not a candlestick anymore. The amusement in Doudanuki's voice is evident. He's happy for you, human bro. Now you look like you're supposed to.]

Yeah, I can see - very boring.

[It's the BEST THING, Sword Pal!!!]

It was the dullest trip home possible. I'm amazed I didn't sleep more.

Eh, it was probably so boring that you just couldn't.

[Congratulations to you, bud.]

So, you eat anything yet?

You know, I haven't got to that yet.

[He's been too busy getting laid :D ]

I think I should try to Melting Pot. About time I learned what the food I serve taste like, no?

Really? The first thing I did when I got a human body, other'n fightin' someone, was to eat somethin'.

Food's pretty amazing and you should probably know what you're givin' people, huh?

[And wow, yeah that's one thing you can do with a human body. Gj, Lumiere.]

I should, and I do love food a lot. Cooking it, more than eating it, true, but I'd still like to taste what we have there.

...I'm refusing to try the not-food we have in the ship's kitchen, though. It doesn't count and I have no desire to put those protein gels in my mouth.

Yeah, I mean, it's functional so it's alright, but it ain't very good.

[He shrugs, even if Lumiere can't see it.]

You weren't the cook before though, were you? Back in that castle thing?

I wasn't, no. But I can cook. It's one of the many, many pleasures in life.

[Then, excitedly, as it's just dawned on him.]

I can make the Grey Stuff again!

....

[That sounds not appetizing at all??]

The hell is 'grey stuff'?

[R U D E. ]

It is a dessert I created. It's delicious.

[LOOK food names are weird and until he puts it in his mouth he thinks everything sounds weird.]

So it's sweet? [He sounds dubious.] Dunno. I'm more about protein than sugar.

Yes, it's very sweet, and you would change your mind if you tasted it, I promise you.

[Hm...sweets are really not his style. That was more of a Kashuu or...one of the tanto's things. But if Lumiere says it's good?]

Well, if you ever make it, lemme know.

Especially since life must be so boring for you now.

I absolutely will.

[He laughs.]

Oh, mon ami, my life is limitless right now. It's wonderful!

[Ah so the act is over, good.]

Nice t'have hands again? It was one of the things I was happiest about gettin' once I was made into a human.

Makes it easier to fight.

[With his limited attention span, that was an inevitability. ]

It's very nice to have hands again, though I am absolutely not using them to fight.
