@beyonce

You've reached Dr. Stephen Strange. Leave a message and my secretary will get back to you.

[Why are you such an asshole, Stephen.]

Why didn't you say that to begin with?!

[Also, why. Just in general. Why.]

[thewarningafter]

Sorry, I didn't realize you were going to jump straight to self-cannibalism.

[quadrangle]

[He makes a disgusted sound but moves on.]

What kind of spare clothing?

[thewarningafter]

T-shirt and a set of scrubs. Bed sheet and towel if you need them -- nothing especially warm, but there's enough fabric there that it's better than nothing.

[He could really use the sheet and towel himself, but he's not the one with frostbite yet.]

[quadrangle]

[Not really what he was hoping for, but like he said, it's better than nothing. Although...]

Let me know when you see me? What's best, I mean. Other people probably need it, too.

[He doesn't trust easily, but he'll trust Doctor Strange's judgment on this.]

[thewarningafter]

We might have to tear the sheet into strips to make your splint, depending on whether Claire has anything else we can use. Hope you don't mind pink.

[quadrangle]

Why would I mind pink?

[He sounds genuinely confused. Have fun explaining that one, Stephen.]

[thewarningafter]

It's...not a traditionally masculine color?

[He knows as soon as he's said it how ridiculous a statement that is to put before an alien.]

[quadrangle]

[... Oh, right. He thinks he remembers something about this now? Maybe. Whatever, humans are weird.]

Yeah no, trolls don't go for that shit. If anything, it's a royal color? Because of the empress and everything. Hemospectrum.

[thewarningafter]

You mentioned that before.

[quadrangle]

Yeah. That thing.

[He sighs.]

It's a big deal for us, whatever. Anyway, that's why.

[thewarningafter]

[For a split second there's a flippant comment on the tip of his tongue about dressing Karkat up like royalty, but Stephen bites it back, thinking of the way Davesprite has reacted to his jokes.]

We'll get you set as best we can, alright?

[quadrangle]

[......]

Was that a pun.

[thewarningafter]

More of a play on words.

[quadrangle]

[Why is he trapped here with these people. Why.]

Okay, you know what? Fine. Yes, let's do that. I'll see you later, yeah? Try not to die until then.

[thewarningafter]

Same to you, kid.
