kingsroads: (this won't end well)

As Lambert steps through the portal, Strange puts the quill back in his chest mirror. As Lambert steps out of the portal, Strange turns his arm to smoke: a surprisingly large quantity of mirror shards fall to the floor: that's the loose bits of mirror that were hanging out under Strange's skin.

Strange chugs the potion with the ease of someone who's drunk a whole bunch of nasty shit before he answers Lambert's question.

"It's not bone anymore—at least, my arms aren't. When I was put in Theta, the Technicians wanted to see if they could spur more Silver Mirror growth. They spurred something, though I don't know if it's due to the capital-letter-Mirror or to the way my body naturally takes on mirrors."

He's not moving as he talks, though occasionally Strange winces a little. There might not be any more loose mirror shards inside of his arm, but there are still some broken, jagged edges.
