video 002; un: actualwizard666
--urge!!
[There's a squeaky voice before the video comes on, shaking violently as if someone is running with the device. You can see flashes of floor five of the communal housing-- beds and random items flashing by, with the occasional blue fur in the shot.]
Demiurge!
[Then there's finally a shot of Billy's face, dubious for a moment as he looks down over the side of his bed, book propped on his chest.]
Ugh-- what? I thought I told you to shoo--
Demiurge!
[That's when realization seems to sink in, Billy's eyes going almost instantly wide. It's a mixture of surprise and annoyance that sends him darting off his bed, book flying-- and that's when the camera goes shaky again as whatever's holding it seems to start running again.]
Hey! What the hell-- give that back!
[There's more jostling and another, this time more surprised, 'Demiurge!' before the phone finally drops and the screen goes mercifully dark for a moment. There's still a bit more rustling around to be heard though, before Billy finally reappears some time later, with a squirmy blue creature tucked safely under his arm and looking just a bit disheveled, and more than a little exasperated.]
Sorry to... whatever you guys just had to see. This-- [creature he might have made in another dimension, oops. No, he is not saying that--] thing just showed up and followed me back home. It also won't leave, and I guess it thought stealing my phone was a sure way to get attention...
[And let's be fair, it did sort of work.]
Anyway, I'll make sure it won't happen again...
Demiurge!
[If you look closely, Billy might just be clenching his jaw tighter at that noise.]
I told you to stop saying that...
[Not that the creature seems to listen... or, you know, stop with the squirming until it feels like it's held properly-- and can get it's arms up around Billy's neck to hold on. It seems to make it happy enough at least since it starts to let out something akin to purring. There's a frustrated groan and an eye roll.]
Does anyone have any tips? I don't really do pets... but I guess I'm sort of responsible for this thing until I figure out if the shelters or anywhere else will take it.
[Oh, he's responsible in so many senses of that word...
Which means he's probably stuck with it permanently. Great.]

Private
[Whatever it is, if Strange remembers it, he thinks it'll be good.]
I hope so. And I hope that whatever it is that I become, it's a long way off. I mean-- I like being a superhero more than the Demiurge.
Private
If that's the case, then for now I'd say focus on that. On bettering your skills and being the sort of hero you think you should be. Otherwise you're just borrowing tomorrow's trouble. Being aware of the future is one thing, but don't let it completely take over your present.
Private
[The reassurance, the advice-- they're all things he needed to hear from someone who has actual experience in magic. Not just experience, but he's the Sorcerer Supreme himself.]
You know-- if you ever need a break from your pet, it's perfectly welcome to come and keep this guy company.
Private
[He was a good kid. If Stephen could give him some help that meant Billy avoided some of his mistakes, he'd count that as a win.]
Who knows, letting them play might help keep the pair of them out of mischief.
Private
[And he's not sure who would be better to seek advice from than someone who's the Sorcerer Supreme.]
Maybe. Do you know what kind of dog that is?
[Because, you know...]
Private
[And not to many people, if he's being real.]
As weird as it is, he's a Pokemon. A Lillipup more specifically from what I've been told.
Private
[That makes this so less awkward...]
You're totally a Pokemon trainer now. How's it feel?
