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 Laughing, he pulls himself to his feet, brushing off his (outdated, so outdated) clothing before racing off to find his crew.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

Comments

[redatheart]

I suppose everyone has their different definitions.

It must be a relief, at least.

[Understatement of the year. Probably.]

[chicandsporting]

It is, I can't explain how good it feels to be myself again.

[redatheart]

What broke the curse? I don't think I ever got any particulars.

[chicandsporting]

The Master fell in love, and had that love returned to him- a wonderful young woman named Belle did it.

[redatheart]

[What Sayid knows about the curse is probably a little vague. Still, that sounds...very much like it fits in with a story where people were cursed to be inanimate objects. Why not?]

It sounds very fortunate for all of you.

How long did you get to spend at home?

[chicandsporting]

We were very lucky. It was...very close.

[He's pretty sure the Master died. It sure LOOKED that way. If Belle hadn't come back...]

Only a day, perhaps two? It's a bit of a blur. Not long, anyway.

[redatheart]

No, that doesn't seem like enough time. I hope you were able to take care of some things though.

[...Like seeing family again, maybe? Sayid isn't sure he wants to specifically say that. Just in case, well, the curse lasted a very long time.]

[chicandsporting]

No, it wasn't long- most of it was getting used to everything, honestly. Trying to get the castle back into order again.

[He's a Disney character, Sayid, that means he's statistically down at least one parent. ]

[redatheart]

[I mean....well...yeah...]

That's a shame. Although I suppose considering the circumstances, not as much of one as it could be.

[chicandsporting]

Oh no, I would take all the time I could. All of it as very precious.

[redatheart]

[Sayid smiles a little, and nods.]

And hopefully you'll be home again soon, with more time to enjoy it.

[chicandsporting]

Yes, thought I do not mind my time here, either. It is enjoyable, exploring new worlds. The castle can wait,

[redatheart]

[Sayid still smiles, though his eyebrows raise slightly.]

It can be very exciting.

[Minus the non-choice in actually being here.]

[chicandsporting]

Dangerous, too, but I think I'll appreciate a little danger. I've been missing it for a while.

[redatheart]

I can't say that I necessarily agree with the sentiment. But to each his own.

[chicandsporting]

Ah, but of course. If we all felt the same, the world would be very boring, no?

[redatheart]

[He laughs, and nods a bit.]

You're very right.

[chicandsporting]

Of course I am. You'll find that's usually the case.
