[ Hey, guess who has his voice back? Turns out traveling to Mainframe gives you plenty of voices to hear. But is he actually going to report back with anything useful? ]
"All of Man’s works, all his cities, all his empires, all his monuments will one day crumble to dust. Even the houses of my own dear readers must – though it be for just one day, one hour be ruined and become houses where the stones are mortared with moonlight, windowed with starlight and furnished with the dusty wind. It is said that in that day, in that hour, our houses become the possessions of the Raven King."
[ For once, his voice isn't carrying that edge of mocking, actually managing to sound solemn and thoughtful -- not that it lasts. There's the sound of a book being snapped shut, and Lambert resumes the rest of the radio post speaking in his normal tone of voice: just a touch insufferably smug. ]
Maybe Master Strange should consider becoming a poet, if he ever gets bored of being a magician.
[ And then, as an off-handed follow-up to that: ]
All scouts and nightrunners, report in. Let 'em know what they're in for.

Did a bird enslave humanity and destroy their buildings?

[ Possibly he hasn't considered that Psi might not have spent a lot of time drunk about the magicians, either. But fine, he'll relent: ]
The Raven King's just a title. Apparently, he's the magician that brought magic to England in the first place, at least in Strange's world.

It's a better one than 'The Psionic,' anyway.

It means you don't even have to say my name for people to know who you're talking about. When you say "The Psionic" there's only one person you could possibly mean, and that's me, because I'm the only psionic worth mentioning.

Actually, isn't 'The Psionic' kind of misleading? Wouldn't 'The Telekinetic' or 'The Psychokinetic' be more accurate?
no subject
Telekinesis isn't the only psionic ability I have.
