[ He wasn't really wanting to do something like this but since people keep comparing him to his... other self, he might as well clear this up on a larger scale.

He gets a sigh out before the video cuts on. He adjusts it to where he can address the camera directly but not in close-up. ]

I am Doctor Stephen Strange. I just arrived here a few days ago and I am aware that many of you already know of another Stephen Strange. Those of you I have met and have been here longer, at any rate.

I want to make this clear to people from here on: just approach me like someone you've never met. It doesn't matter if you know the other Strange here or have heard the name. I just got here. I have not lived his life, I have not done his deeds. Do not confuse me for him because I am not him.

I am sure all of you are well aware of the multiverse situation here so you know this is possible.

[ He does sigh through his nose now. He's kind of annoyed he has to do this at all. Before adding, ]

I hold a position at Riverview Hospital and am an Advisor at Gramarye Magic Research. If anyone needs help medically or... magically, I guess, I will do what I can. I just ask that my wishes be respected as well.

[ And with that, the feed ends. ]

Well, good for you.

[ No, because he doesn't need it to follow him everywhere. >|||

He has to bite down on the inside of his cheek from saying what he wants to at first. But then he smiles, ]

Yeah but I'm higher up than you, position-wise.

[ What a little shit. ]

[suckstobestrange]

[But the Cloak loves you so!

Stephen will let it know how happy that would make you, won't that be such a nice surprise, it can go with you everywhere that way~!]

Oh yes, very impressive. [A slight arch of his brow, mouth twisting as a thought occurs to him.]

Your reality's Mordo didn't offer you his sketchy-looking cure-all did he? Because if so, and if you accepted it, I can only see bad things happening because of it.

[ Look, alone time is important, okay.

He frowns at that, ]

No. Mordo left and turned his back on me and Wong. He didn't approve of magic being used the way I did to defeat Kaecillius.

I was told I could channel the energy into my hands to stop them shaking.

[ Doesn't last the whole time but for a few hours, it'll do. ]

[suckstobestrange]

..Okay there's a difference. Mordo in my reality was always a colossal bag of dicks. Tried to bribe me with what I'm pretty sure was actually poison or something to go away, I told him to get bent.

I haven't had anything like that work for mine. [A faint shrug.] But they don't shake when I cast so that's all I need.

[potentialed]

Yeah well. Mine was my friend. Taught me a lot of what I know.

[ And it still sucks he lost him, too. You can keep your shitty Mordo, old man. ]
