[ There's a bit of a pause before Strange starts talking, as if he's not entirely certain what he's going to say. He sounds a bit tired, but awake enough to hold a conversation. ]

For those of you who didn't already know, I'm not dead anymore. [ pause. ] Which, I suppose, is obvious as I'm talking to the radio, but the point stands.

I'd like to speak directly to the Ringmaster, Syrlya, and Zangetsu, if possible. As for everybody else, can you please fill me in on what happened from the time I left with Ignatius to now? Don't spare any details, this will be written down for posterity's sake.

[ fun fact: Strange has ABSOLUTELY ZERO CLUE about the various levels of trainwreck that the fae party in the library + rescue missions + torture session were. ]

Finally, odd question, but did anyone bring any flameproof fabric?

You died?

Yes. [ there's still a bit of awkwardness and hesitancy in Strange's voice before he continues. Raising the dead is a concept that he's used to. It's only the fact that he was the dead person which is still a little bit weird. ]

You have to set it up with her ahead of time, but the Ringmaster has a ritual to bring someone back from the dead.

I know that.

[Just not the part where Strange kicked it.]

What happened?

To make this clear, you're asking how I died? That's quite morbid.

[ says the man who literally asked everybody the same question when he first arrived. ]

[Ignoring that.]

It must have been one of the fae.

[Give him a second and he'll start guessing.]

Actually, my death was at the hands of a carnival member. I was enthralled by one of the fae—I was killed before I could kill anyone else.

[ the hesitancy's fading as Strange's voice becomes a bit more matter of fact. ]
