[ 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?

[Peridot's kind of thrown that he's asking her something like this, and does not appear to be caught up in being totally amazed at her awesome battle skills.]

Um. I mean we were fighting her, so... Yes? Sans bit her, and I'm sure Jasper punched her or headbutted her at least once.

[ Just punching and headbutting? Strange almost instantly looks relieved. ]

That's good, [ he remarks. And then, realizing that Peridot's probably confused as hell right now, Strange decides it's probably best to explain. ]

There's a difference between wounds obtained in battle and what Lambert and the rest did. [ yup, he's heard that story ] I'm certain the Lady's probably mad about the lack of an arm thing, but that's a wound that feasibly happens in war. Plenty of people lost their limbs when I was in the peninsula.

[ It's all said in a matter of fact tone. And since that's done, Strange's expression shifts to a small smile. ] And since I don't think I've said so, it was smart of you to bring that sword.
