The voicemail is the pre-recorded standard voicemail that comes on the communicator.
Eventually Strange will change it.
Maybe.
If he actually remembers to do so.

Hey, how do you feel about, um.

Summonings?

[ There's a bit of fumbling before Strange responds with ]

Positively? I've performed a few summonings back in my world. [ most of them failed BUT DETAILS ] What are we summoning?

Another imPort. I think I know how but it wouldn't be bad to have a second set of eyes.

Are you in?

Of course!

[ Strange.....sounds far too excited for his own good. There's a moment where he composes himself before, ] When and where shall the summoning happen?

As soon as I can find some cocaine.

[Pause.]

It's not for me.

[ that sure is a suspicious denial, keep telling yourself that Billy, time to find some pamphlets. ]

As you can probably guess, I wouldn't know where to find any to begin with.

[ even Strange can acknowledge he's JUST A TAD BIT OF A PONCE ]

Well I wasn't going to ask you for it.

I figured that much but I had to be sure.

Right.

So I need three other things that would attract an idiot.

Drink seems to be an obvious one. Shall I get wine or something stronger?

We're gonna need some really shitty schnapps for this one.

Uh. Go to the liquor store, find the person who looks most like they're buying for a party of sixteen year old girls, and ask them what to get.

[ and that's how Strange learns that whipped cream vodka is a thing. ]

Do we have any personal belongings of whoever we're summoning? I've found that something like that usually works.

I might have something. I touched his soul once, maybe that'll help.

[ I'm sorry you did what? Don't mind Strange as he just kind of boggles on the other end of the line because what ]

That sounds like there's a story behind it—I won't ask until we're done with this, however.

There might be. I mean.

It was a stupid thing to do.

Granted, I don't know all of the circumstances surrounding the soul removal, but I don't think it was stupid. [ Even over voice, Billy can hear the nonchalant tone in Strange's voice. ]

After all, what's the point of having our magic if we don't explore what it can do?

Oh thank god.

[ And Strange can't help but laugh a little at that. ]

I assume other people thought it was stupid?

Other people always think magic is stupid.

Well other people are wrong, [ said as if it's obvious. ]

I wish you could come to my England, if only for a little bit. Practical magicians are held in high regard.

I don't think I'd look good in the clothes.

If that's your only problem, then it's not really a problem in the slightest, is it?

...I like dudes?

[ oh! Well, he didn't know that. Thankfully, Regency morals are a bit more loose than Victorian morals. ]

I served in the army at the peninsula. Those sort of...tendencies? [ it's obvious he's trying to think of the right word to use and failing miserably. ] Anyway, more men like other men than you would imagine. And besides, I'm certain there will be other people to take attention no matter what happens with you. After all, Lord Byron exists.

[A pause, and then a laugh.]

Yeah, okay. At least I'm kind of a white dude.

Small miracles. It...would definitely be harder for a woman to like women back in my time than it is in this world.

[ look he has the barest concept of intersectionality BUT DAMMIT, HE'S TRYING ]
