I can't wait to be human again

[chicandsporting]

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 Laughing, he pulls himself to his feet, brushing off his (outdated, so outdated) clothing before racing off to find his crew.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

Comments

[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?

I'm so good at forgetting lordy

[chicandsporting]

Ah, but you have transcended such things, mon chaton. You are like a little sister. [A pause.] One I can share my more colourful gossip with, but a sister all the same~

[passingthrough]

[That earns a smile. Granted, she'd already been smiling, but this one is softer, warmer. It's the kitten of smiles.] Thanks. You'd be a pretty good big brother with questionable boundaries.

[chicandsporting]

[Oh, he does love the kitten smiles. ]

That sounds like the perfect title for me. Something I can be proud of.

[passingthrough]

You have a strange definition of pride, but I can't really pretend to be surprised about that now, can I?

[He is as he's always been. With a pretty notable change. She steps back to take a fuller look at him.] You really are person-shaped and not candle-shaped.

[chicandsporting]

I would hope by now that very little about me would surprise you.

[He laughs, raising his lanky arms because, yep, all person-shaped now. ]

Not a drop of wax in sight!

[passingthrough]

Well, being suddenly human again was a good finale.

I guess you'll have to find other ways to light up a room now.

[chicandsporting]

It was, a very good end to the story, no?

Oh, don't you worry- I have all sorts of ways to light up a room.

[passingthrough]

And a good beginning of a new one.

[She smiles and shakes her head.] So much creepier with a big brother lens on this conversation.

[chicandsporting]

A delightful new one, amongst the stars. Who could ask for more?

[He grins, giving her a little thumbs-up, because if he's going to take anything from the twenty first century with him, it's that. ]

And here I am again, making your life confusing and slightly creepy.

[passingthrough]

[He should consider better take aways!]

It's all I've ever wanted. So, do you feel good? Able to move around normally? Or is it awkward getting used to the body again?

[chicandsporting]

I do, it feels fantastic.

[He pauses, rubbing the back of his head. ]

Though I do keep hitting my head on the doorframes. They are much lower than I first thought they were.

[Dude to him being about a foot tall in the months he's had here to get used to them. ]

[passingthrough]

[She smiles at that.] Hopefully, you'll figure that one out soon or people are going to think you're into kinky stuff from all the bruises.

[chicandsporting]

Something I'd rather avoid for the time being, in all honesty.

[passingthrough]

Really? Are you worried about your reputation all the sudden?
