[whatsina_name]

hey i forgot to ask you something when i saw you

you don't like have some weird abomination thing constructed from the pain you're ignoring and/or weird magic contract bullshit that's going to escape and try to make you suffer someday that you're going to need to eat right

just checking





if the answer is yes we need to talk about taking care of yourself better

[is this phillip's no context way of shaming your double? yes. yes it is.]

[sorserer]

No.

I have followup questions.

[whatsina_name]

i mean i thought i was perfectly clear but sure

[sorserer]

Is this about the other Dr. Strange?
I don't suppose it has anything to do with his apparently recently incurred blindness?

[whatsina_name]

yeah.

probably? haven't talked to him since then, but basically a weird hell thing showed up in the city and if you wanted your mark of shame or whatever to go away you had to give up something. sight seems a bit extreme but

[stephen is also just kind of extreme]

[sorserer]

He mentioned something about that particular repression technique to me. When I was here before.
Did he manifest it here somehow? Was anyone hurt?

[whatsina_name]

given the results i don't recommend it

yeah. it apparently wanted to try and rend me limb from limb

it was not successful

for obvious reasons

Hey!
This is Peter
Parker
It's also a group text, so sorry if it sounds kind of impersonal
I just wanna reach out to as many people as I can

Anyway

Things are getting pretty bad and I have Gwen's place to myself
It's really big and there's loads of beds, so if anyone wants to come stay here for a while (or even just rest up here for a while) then you're welcome here
I've got supplies here, food, first aid stuff
I just want people to be safe

( He links the address here. )

I'm usually around in the day
I'll be out doing supply runs and stuff at night, so just hang around if I'm not home and there's no one to let you in

And if you don't wanna come stay but you end up feeling like you might be in trouble, just text me if you can
This is probably gonna sound weird, but just trust me
I know someone who can help

( Alexa play "Theme" (from Spider-Man) ... )

[sorserer]

Thank you for the offer, Peter.

In case the information would be useful, I'm providing medical care in the Rubies' territory in the Down. If you need a hand, just text. I can make myself available.

Don't overextend yourself if you can avoid it.

[awesomeee]

Thanks, Sir
With any luck I won't need to take you up on that

And it goes both ways, okay?
I mean I know you're super capable and magical and stuff, but
If you need backup just call me
I'll be there

[sorserer]

Will do. Best of luck.

[awesomeee]

You too
✨🙌✨

( Appreciate Peter's emoji art of Stephen making sparkly portals, pls. )

[whatsina_name]

hey

Where are you

Are you being dumb

[this is Phillip caring. Which he does now apparently]

[sorserer]

Define "dumb".

[whatsina_name]

so yes

Where are you

[sorserer]

The Down. With the Rubies. Providing medical aid, playing cleanup crew. Nothing to write home about.

Are you safe?

[whatsina_name]

I am literally immortal

Are you?

[sorserer]

Literally immortal?

[ is stephen strange above playing dumb to annoy someone? Hell No ]

( The lingerie thing is ... well, Peter's calling it a "new development" in the things he likes to get up to behind closed doors. He hadn't expected Gwen to react so favourably (heck, he hadn't expected Gwen to catch him trying her panties on at all) but now that they're feeling it out together? Peter actually feels good about it.

Good enough to use his recently issued money card to make a purchase, in any case. The panties are almost tasteful — dark maroon lace with satin ties at each hip — and Peter models them knelt in front of the mirror, his knees spread invitingly as he splays his free hand against his thigh. )

You can look but you can't touch it
If you touch it I'mma
Start some drama

You don't want no drama

( A few bars of "My Humps" is the best way to keep things light, right? Gwen gets it. Gwen will understand that My Humps plus fuck-me eyes equals a night of freaky passion.

... Pity he hasn't actually sent any of this to Gwen, but there you go. )

[sorserer]

[ hey question, what the fuck.

at first stephen is mostly just confused. and then maybe, after another minute, he has to kind of suppress a smirk down at his phone. ]

I actually think that song was before your time.

[awesomeee]

( Oh shit. Oh sHIT. )

Uh










Creo que tienes el número de teléfono equivocado

[sorserer]

Shouldn't that be my line?

[awesomeee]

Honestly, I don't even know right now
This night isn't exactly going how I planned

I'm so sorry, Sir
Please just
Forget literally all of that

I could totally have a Spanish twin called Pedro, right?

[sorserer]

Why not. There's no way for me to independently verify that information and as a general rule I don't get much out of Googling people I meet in space.

Tell Pedro the lighting looks off.

package

[whatsina_name]

[Outside of Stephen's door (his bedroom door, specifically- don't ask how Phillip got it there, he wanted to make sure it made it to the right Stephen Strange) there is a little package, containing a little pouch that contains elaborate pocket watch and a short note.]

This seemed like the kind of watch a sorcerer should have.

Phi -Phillip

[yes it looks like he started to write his name, scratched it out, and then wrote it again. he was tempted to just make stephen guess who it was from ok. because feelings are hard.]
