[Hello, network. Peering at you through one very dashing grey-blue eye is a young Stephen Strange. He pulls away from the camera, enough for everyone to catch a glimpse of a very nice, wrinkle free forehead, and less extremely arched eyebrows. Actually the Doc looks a lot more normal. And about 25. Huh, weird.]This will seem rather juvenile a

[sorcerously]

[OH GOODNESS, SO HANDSOME...]

Doctor?

[permavid]

[hoaryhosts]

[Well hello nurse.]

In another three years, hopefully.

Forgive me, I don't usually forget so lovely a face...

[sorcerously]

[what is she going to do...]

Oh--I'm Gemma.

[hoaryhosts]

[She's going to get hit on, of course.]

Gemma, Gemma... No, I don't think we've officially met. I consider that an oversight to be rectified immediately.

Stephen Strange. And I'm very sorry I didn't wake up next to you.

... I'm sorry, that was terrible. I meant that I'm very sorry I didn't wake up in the same general vicinity. Perhaps in another large, impressive, potentially haunted house.

[sup doc, have an alien! About 13 and just fascinated as all get out, because:]

Oh! You're so old!

[Of course what actually comes out of her mouth is some tripping bell-like language, but thankfully, the translation text is not far behind.]

[permavid]

[hoaryhosts]

[Strange is not so subtly covering his ears.]

I am not. And if I were, I'd prefer the term refined.

[flyinwithheart]

[Koriand'r just laughs. It's an utterly delighted noise.]

But you are! You are the oldest thing I have seen on this planet!

[hoaryhosts]

[And his eyebrows raise.]

You haven't seen many people on this planet, have you.

[ Have an old dude peering back at you, Dr. Mr. Strange. ]

Well, the drinks never seem to stop flowing around here.

Though- ah, perhaps they should. A lot of kids around now.

[permavid]

[hoaryhosts]

Then, sir, I'm afraid my troubles are likely far from over.

[firstmate]

Try not to let it worry you too much. Best to just "go with it" around here.

[hoaryhosts]

[sigh.]

Will I at least get an explanation for why my mail isn't being delivered Weinstein Hall?

[zapswithmagic]

[... Wow.]

You're a student? Not a doctor?

[hoaryhosts]

First year medical student, yes.

[zapswithmagic]

[Oh boy. This is just great. So many people shrinking in age.]

Oh. [Well this is extremely awkward.] What kind of medical student? [Yeah. Awkward.]

[hoaryhosts]

A precocious one, according to Doctor Milius. [He might seem just the slightest bit proud of that.]

But I haven't picked a specialty yet, if that's what you mean.

[asweetvalleykid]

Are you a alcoholic?

[hoaryhosts]

An and no. Alcoholics go to meetings.

[asweetvalleykid]

That's what a alcoholic would say.

[hoaryhosts]

That would be the joke.

And again, an.
