[ 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. ]

( angela's eyebrows raise at his position, impressed already. having been the head of a hospital and worked at many others, she knows how difficult the job can be, and it says something of his skills that he's taken up the position. )

I'll be looking forward to it. ( she'd like to see him in action, for sure. ) Though, I have to say that I'm at a loss about magic. I'm certain it doesn't exist in my world, outside of being in fairytales - in fact, I hadn't even considered it even after being pulled into a brand new world. If I may ask, what is it like in your world?

[ Stephen doesn't have a problem with the level of difficulty. Or at least he's never really minded the challenge. He tended to strive for it. ]

Well, I was much like you in thinking it was all stories and scams. Turns out it's always existed in my world. They've just kept it under wraps really well all while protecting the Earth itself.

[ And now he's apart of that. ]

That sounds incredible!

( life-changing, for sure. angela is a woman of science, as would probably be expected, and to find out that magic existed? even with all the technological advancements that they've made in her world, her time, finding out that magic existed would be... a lot. )

And anyone has the ability to use it, or only a select few?
