Clyde Langer | The Sarah Jane AdventuresheroicmoreoftenNovember 1 2011, 23:23:54 UTC
[The voice is that of a teenage boy, English, but not remotely posh. He doesn't sound the least bit scared, either. In fact, he sounds like he does this kind of thing all the time.]
Aright, giving me this mobile was nice and all. Definitely not standard hostile alien procedure, as far as I know. But I'd like my own back if you don't mind. Also, you could save me some trouble and tell me where you've taken me right now. Or save yourself some trouble and just pop me back to Bannerman Road.

[Well he's certainly taking all this well.]
A-aliens? [Maybe not the best way to start]
You weren't brought here by aliens. The Door brought you here and there isn't a way back as far as anyone knows. [There should definitely be more explanation here but she's too distracted by the alien thing.]
I bet these two would get along pretty well, actuallyheroicmoreoftenNovember 2 2011, 02:54:19 UTC
A Door? A door to what? Like, an alternate dimension, another reality? Is there a transmat pad involved or something? In my experience, things like this happen and it's got to be aliens involved somehow. Just 'cause you haven't seen them doesn't mean they're not here.
How often?
[He stops and rubs his chin thoughtfully.]
I guess about once a week, give or take.
[And the sad part is, he isn't really exaggerating all that much.]
But it's cool. I've got this friend, Sarah-Jane. She'll figure out what happened to us and get us back home soon as she can.
They prolly would - he can work in the noodle shop with her! /helpingprincely_calyxNovember 2 2011, 03:14:26 UTC
It's just called "The Door." It's a big archway that brings people through whenever it wants. I don't know what a ...transmat pad is but I don't think the Door uses one.
Well, I guess that's true but things are a bit more on the ...magic side here. I think. [It's always one or the other in the movies.]
Um, it might be a bit more difficult than that. Maybe she can but it'd be a first. She must be really smart, to be able to bring people back from other worlds...
You're taking this all really well! Oh, I'm Utena.
GET he doesn't know squat about japanese food anyway :|heroicmoreoftenNovember 2 2011, 03:50:54 UTC
Yeah, but there's no such thing as magic. See, all this stuff that looks magical is probably just some super advanced alien dohickeys. Just 'cause we don't understand it doesn't make it magic. Believe me, I've seen a lot of things that looked like they shoulda been pulled out of a tophat, right, but it's all just technology. Which means, there's got to be a way to reverse it, even if we can't do it from here.
But see, my mates and I, we do this stuff all the time. Sarah Jane is like, the savior of earth or something about fifty times over. And my best mate, Luke - he's her son - he's this genetically engineered supergenius. And Rani, well. She's smart too. Can't tell you how many times she got me out of trouble with like the Slitheen or my history teacher.
[And here's a roguish smile. He's pretty charming when he's not really trying.]
Hiya, Utena. I like that name. I'm called Clyde. Clyde Langer. Where d'you come from, Utena?
HELPING! And what, he can't boil water and put noodles in it? ANY boy can do thatprincely_calyxNovember 2 2011, 04:05:15 UTC
[She listens and tries to take it in. What he says does make sense to a point. It's like Akio and his tower - projecting the castle or the night stars. In the end, there was still magic. Real magic. Maybe it's different in his world, true. But there is something not quite right here either.
It's not all aliens.]
If you say so. Just, be prepared for some strange stuff here. Really strange stuff. And we've never found the alien to blame it on. Maybe the twins are aliens?
Savior of the earth? That's really something! [She is so very sincere here.] I'd like to meet her!
...Slitheen. Its- They're...aliens?
[Smile] Thanks! It's nice to meet you, Clyde. I'm from Japan. How about you?
NO HELPING! And actually... he's a really good cook. sob.heroicmoreoftenNovember 2 2011, 04:18:20 UTC
Oh, I am so prepared for weird stuff. It's like I was born for weird stuff. There is not a lot left in the universe that can surprise me. Although... it's usually right when I say something like that that something super weird happens.
She's the greatest, really. She's the smartest person I've ever met. And she made me a better person, too. You're gonna love her. Because she is going to come and get us out, I know it.
Oh yeah, they're aliens all right. Big ugly green things with these creepy baby faces and giant arms and they fart all the time. It's horrible. S'alright, though. Bit of vinegar takes care of them.
[Again with the not even kidding.]
I'm from London. Ealing. Bannerman Road, the UK's best vacation spot for extra-terrestrials.
NO GET OUT I think he knows how to make beef wellington BUT NOT SOBA :|heroicmoreoftenNovember 2 2011, 18:05:21 UTC
Yeah, they're calcium-based life-forms so vinegar makes them explode. I figured that one out myself. [Mostly...]
Yeah, it's great when the nice aliens show up and we can help them out. But it's a little too often the other way round, and it's aliens who want to take over the Earth or use the planet as fuel or like feed the god chaos or whatever. That's when we've got to put things right and save everyone. Not that anybody knows about it. I mean, the aliens know more about what me and my mates do to save the world than everybody else does.
But it's cool. We don't do it to get recognized or to convince our teachers to give us a break on the homework. We're like... Earth's stealth fighting force. Saving the world from the power plants and the local theatres, hanging out with rhino people and fighting giant potatoes and everything.

[Once she's done laughing.] I'm sorry, it's just - I really do believe you - the whole thing just sounds...funny! Not what you said but how you said it.

I didn't know aliens could fart. Huh. Vinegar? Wonder if that works on other stuff here.
Didn't know London was so popular with aliens! I guess it must be nice, if they come all that way to visit there.

Nope, just your average, everyday world-saving guy. The only thing I am super at is being cool.
