[ 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?

So basically just reading magic as it's cast. Useful.

[ Childermass does find himself a touch envious of the skill, just from how Strange talks about it, but overall? He probably doesn't need to look at magic so directly. Too much of it gives him a bad time already, so why tempt worse effects? ]

Though we're both blue... I wonder, does that make our England's magic blue? The Raven King's?

[ There's too small a sample to know for sure but the odds they'd have similarly colored magic seem odd to him. Of course, he also isn't aware his used to be a different color. Not a drastically different color, but still. ]

[ And at that, Strange shrugs! ]

Unless other English magicians or the Raven King himself shows up, I've no way of telling. [ well, either that or wait until they both get back to England. But as the conversation previously established, that might be a while. ]

Portland is green, though. [ and based on Strange's little 'hell if I know' expression, he has no idea why Portland magic is green. ]
