[Action for 2238 Stevens Road]

Sarah Jane wakes up rather confused. This wasn't where she was when she woke up. Had she been teleported?

She looks around the house, trying to work out where she is. She quickly comes across the family pictures.]

That's not Luke... is this the Trickster's doing?

[Open action]

[Later in the day, Sarah Jane is continuing her investigations. You might find her:

A. In the shopping district, trying to find a decent newspaper.

B. In the street, patiently explaining to a drone that her name is most certainly not "Mrs. Black".

C. At the library, growing distressed at how much information there isn't.]

B!

"Hello. I don't think you are going to get anywhere with them.

You must be new?"

It seems I am.

"The short of it is, you've been kidnapped. A lot of us have. Some have been here longer than others.

The long of it is a bit harder to explain."

[Sarah Jane raises an eyebrow. She had figured out that much]

I'm a bit curious about the long bit.

"I'm pretty bad with explaining it, though one of the other kidnapped people here wrote up something to help out."

[[Pulls a little pamphlet (http://buildstherobots.livejournal.com/12857.html#cutid1) from his pocket, handing it over to her.]]

"I can answer some questions, though I've only been here a bit over a month."

[Sarah Jane looks over the pamphlet with great interest. Information, sparse as it might be!]

So it's interdimensional, then.

Sorry to intrude, but why would they think your name's Mrs. Black?

He's a friend of my husband and me, but he's certainly not married. Not back home, anyway. This place, Mayfield, it's very odd. There's a lovely girl named Kagura who lives in the same house as James and I, and we're supposedly her parents, but I only had one son....

Something definitely isn't right. There are two children who claim I'm their mother, but neither of them is my actual son.

We've...sort've been dragged to some sort of parallel world. Or universe, I'm not sure. Someone in this 'town's brought people here to play out a real-life doll house...and we're the dolls.

[He'd been asleep on the couch when the ruckus had started, and after figuring out exactly what had happened, he followed her out onto the street, a cup of tea in each hand. He smiled politely at the drone, said something about his silly joking wife, sent it on it's way. He wordlessly handed Sarah a cup of tea. After the lifeless neighbor walked away, he turned to her.]

Listen, don't talk to them. They aren't real. Come on, I'll explain everything.

Thank you.

Technically speaking, I'm your husband. Hope you won't mind, though, that I've never been married before, so I'll probably be sleeping on the couch. Or perhaps taking the bedroom of one of our children.

[He leads her in the door and over to the kitchen, where he sits down at the table.]

Have you figured anything out yet? What do you already know?

From: [identity profile] after-thesky.livejournal.com
We can worry about the sleeping arrangements later.

[Sarah Jane takes a seat and tries to process everything that's happened so far today]

Well, the first thing I noticed was that neither of those children is my son.

Some of the others have mentioned this being a different world. Which makes sense, the 1950s weren't quite like this.

From: [identity profile] siriuslyadog.livejournal.com
[He nods with empathy.]

Right. Neither of those children are yours, let alone real. I'm not so sure about the concept of different worlds, but there is definitely heavy magic at work.

None of it is real. Most of the people aren't. Some of the people are like us, taken from home, or in my case, from the dead, and placed here to live out lives like cattle. They do things some times, to test us. Terrible, traumatizing things. But afterwords, for the most part, it goes back to normal, this stasis we're all in. We can't change it, and we can't leave.
