[If anyone's paying attention to the room behind Strange, they might notice that it's dusty, poorly lit, with a spell caster's circle and a dead pigeon in the center of it. The Doctor himself seems... Tired. And slightly annoyed. Might have something to do with the dead pigeon. Or just... Pigeons. Pigeons.]Two things of note

Were you involved with this somehow? It feels like your magic.

... I'm afraid I was. Have you had the pleasure of meeting Doctor Zoidberg?

Don't sound so worried. I don't assume it was done intentionally. Doctor Zoidberg? Kinda pasty, kinda bald? I met him while trying to find Whiskey a date, yeah. What hand did he have in this Sy Fy Channel made-for-television movie?

When he doesn't resemble a seafood restaurant's mascot, yes, I'd say that's an apt description. The Doctor would like to work in show business. His act required dancing pigeons, and for all of his oddities, I find the man amusing, so... I thought I would help him. Obviously, this wasn't the wisest decision of my career.

Seafood restaura--! [D:! She clearly didn't realize that was also him. Whoops. Sorry, Whiskey!] ...well, it clearly wasn't intentional. Is there anything I can do to help solve this, or is this one of those things that have to run its course?

I essentially put them into a trance and told them to behave the following command. You know, like an old fashioned hypnotist? Anyway, that was where the entire thing went to Hell. Zoidberg's friend paraded by ranting about killing humans and you can see just what they picked up from it. And the damn things are just so stupid that we only focused the spell on a few of them and half the City seems to be affected.

I'm more than adept at stage magic -- hypnotism isn't my specialty, but I would still be ready to help, if needed.
On the bright side, you didn't try this with a tiger?

It's needed.
... There are markedly fewer tigers in just about any version of New York City.

You looking for one? [She whispers now, like this is some sordid deal going down.] I might now someone who can hook you up.

... Oh, I'd say I'm done with animals for the moment. You understand.

Sticking with pets only, then?

No, I think I'll be an old hermit and live alone with my china. It's probably safer for everyone involved. Or everyone in the City, really.

I tried that. It doesn't work, just so you know.
I'll tell you sometime.

You've been asking my hands. When we do exchange stories someday, I'll tell you that one.
