[ 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. ]

You think I like it?

[ Because he doesn't. And wow don't make him toss that shit into Google translate. If he can still... access that. ]

[deathkid]

I'd doubt anyone would.

[ would stephan prefer nico use latin? because nico can speak that too. ]

[potentialed]

[ Latin is just showing off tbh. ]

I don't know, the Starks seem to be okay with it.

[ Oh how wrong he is. ]

[deathkid]

[ true. which is why he sticks to english around non-demigods. ]

Yeah, I'm not so sure about that. They could practically be different people if they weren't... well, the same. Di immortales, it's like when my dad decides to go for the toga instead of a chiton. The same and yet more different than one would think could be possible.

[potentialed]

Which begs the question, which Stark is the toga and which is the chiton?

[ Because if you're gonna trot out that example, he'll use it, too. ]

[deathkid]

[ well, if he gets the analogy, all the better. less for nico to explain. ]

In this case, I think the first Stark would be the chiton and the second the toga.

[potentialed]

[ He snorts at that, amused in spite of it all. ]

Well, that at least gives me some idea of what I'm dealing with, I suppose.

I haven't even met the one from my own world, yet.

[deathkid]

[ hey, someone ( almost ) laughed at his joke. win! ]

If he's anything like these Starks, guard whatever good coffee you might get.
