@beyonce

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

[thewarningafter]

Yeah. Yeah, of course. And if you have any ideas....

[Stephen's voice goes quieter still.]

I'm playing along for now. I don't know how deep this goes for Peter, but Bluestar was...upset after all the backlash.

[cahooted]

Thanks. And sure, I will.

[Upset. Flynn doesn't like the sound of that. Especially not with Stephen being so quiet and that little meaningful pause.]

How so?

[thewarningafter]

She kind of lost it on me. Went into a tirade about how all humans are selfish anarchists and she's the only one championing law and order. I mean, I say anarchists, but the actual words she used were kitty-pet. Like a house cat. I don't know how much is being lost across cultural lines and how much of this is just...crazy.

[cahooted]

... Peter used some weird words, too, when we last spoke. Called himself a kit. He immediately corrected himself, but... [But that was weird.

There's a pause on his end, too.]

Do you think she's dangerous? Not... as a cat, but. You know. [As an influence on Peter.]

[thewarningafter]

Of course he did.

[Siigh.]

I think she's got a lot of influence over him right now.

[cahooted]

What do you think we should do?

I don't want Peter to shut down on me, it's all very us versus them already. But I don't want to just... stand by.

[thewarningafter]

I'm working on it. I'm going to stick with them, try to be the voice of reason. I'm trying not to turn this into something where it's me or her.

[cahooted]

Sounds like a plan. Let me know how it goes, okay?

[thewarningafter]

Yeah. You know, if you wanted to come, uh, join Snowclan...I hear we've got the best territory in town.

[cahooted]

So they say!

But I don't think Blue would have me at this point. I've been a little... vocal about the endeavor, I don't think she'd believe me. Maybe I can drop by as a guest, she said she'd be alright with visitors.

[thewarningafter]

She did say that.

[Stephen has his doubts.]

Maybe bring a peace offering.

[cahooted]

Like... what?

I have a bell...

[thewarningafter]

[He snorts.]

Maybe catnip.

[cahooted]

I kind of feel like that might get me on the hit list.

[thewarningafter]

She could just...I don't know, find it somewhere....

[cahooted]

[That makes him chuckle.]

Well, if I ever come across some I'll let you know.

[thewarningafter]

Yeah.

I should -- I should go. Before anyone wonders why I've been in here so long.

[cahooted]

Secret phonecalls. It's that bad already, huh?

[A small sigh.]

Alright, don't let me keep you. Stay safe, yeah?

[thewarningafter]

Yeah. I'll be fine.

Stay warm.

[And he disconnects.]
