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 Laughing, he pulls himself to his feet, brushing off his (outdated, so outdated) clothing before racing off to find his crew.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

[passingthrough]

I might need a break after forty or so, but I'm on my way. [Their minds were in the same place!]

[chicandsporting]

That's okay, we can absolutely take hug breaks. See you soon!

[passingthrough]

I'm holding you to that.

[It isn't long if you don't count the slow tagging before she arrives on his ship looking for a former candle to hug.] Come out, come out wherever you are.

[chicandsporting]

[NOT LONG AT ALL.

He's hanging around the bridge, and so he'll soon appear to the sound of his voice with a grin and his arms out wide. ]

Bonjor, mon chaton, here I am~

[passingthrough]

[She slips her arms around him immediately, bringing herself in for a nice, tight hug.] Do you miss having your arms on fire? Be honest.

[chicandsporting]

[He laughs, returning that hug. ]

I absolutely do not miss my arms being on fire. Not even a tiny little bit.

[passingthrough]

[She smiles and keeps hugging. Why make it a short one? He has time to make up for.] I'm going to have to agree. This is superior.

[chicandsporting]

[They have so many hugs to make up for, the longer it lasts the better. ]

Right? No longer flammable and a hundred per cent more cuddly.

[passingthrough]

So, have you already hooked up with someone in the seven minutes or so you've been fleshy? [It's probably been longer. She doesn't know.]

[chicandsporting]

It's been about two hours and I absolutely have. I made a promise to someone and I kept it.

[Yes, apparently getting someone laid counts as keeping a promise. ]

[passingthrough]

Seriously? Like...seriously seriously? [This is a real conversation. Welcome to modern times.]

[chicandsporting]

[You kids and your modern slang. ]

Ten years, Kitty. Ten years. I wasn't going to waste any time.

[passingthrough]

And I thought I worked fast. [Okay, she's worked nothing but slow lately, but she was with pretty quickly after his arrival which was a month after her own.] Was it everything you remembered?

[chicandsporting]

Better! It seems I forgot how delightful it could be.

[passingthrough]

I might have to start living vicariously through you soon.

[chicandsporting]

That might be considered bad your your health, mon chaton, but you'll hear no arguments from me.

[passingthrough]

Wow, what are you planning to do with your recently returned body and am I too innocent to hear about it? [She's so far from innocent but she thinks she might be.]

[chicandsporting]

It is absolutely not a case of being too innocent, but you might have several sleepless nights if you want me to keep you updated on everything.

[He does not believe in her innocence a tiny bit. He remembers the twerking. ]

[passingthrough]

[She laughs lightly. And he's correct to dismiss this innocence of hers though there are areas she hasn't tread before.] You sound very confident of your prowess. Made a lot of promises, or is there someone special?

[chicandsporting]

[Someone special, come on, Kitty. He chuckles. ]

I have my dalliances that I'm rather fond of. But promises were made and I could not break one now, could I?

[passingthrough]

You have a real knack for making something that should be kind of sleazy sound noble.

[chicandsporting]

[He laughs, giving a little bow to the camera. ]

I'm so very glad you noticed, it's a gift I'm very proud of!

We're on action now. There was hugging! Unless he just thinks he knows where Atroma's camera's are.

[passingthrough]

What am I going to do with you? [Completely amused.]

omg sorry I debrained, pretend he bowed to her in person DOOT DOOT

[chicandsporting]

Love and cherish me forever? I think that is a very good option.

lol, it's fine. I am forever forgetting and being vaaaaague

[passingthrough]

No hitting on me too? Should I be insulted?
